Ok, on Friday my dad and i had to go to a supermarket (Tesco if you know it) to get my grans shopping, coz she can't really do it anymore. and we had just put the shopping on the relayer belt at the counter, and was waiting for our turn. And i was watching the woman on the counter, and she was counting out those blue voucher things (people who shop there would know them) that you get so that you can take them to school and the school gets free computers or something like that. So she was counting some out of a pile and took them off, but instead of asking, and giving them to the man who she was serving, she looked straight at me, with the vouchers in her hand held a little so that i could see them and we made eye contact for what seemed like hours, but she didn't say nothing, then to break the silence i said "No" in a quiet shy voice, coz i didn't know what else to say, but was thinking that she's probably gesturing that whether i collect them. Then she said "You don't collect them?" and i said the no again in a small voice, then she turned away and waited for the man to move, so that we could be served.
Now that was very weird, that she asked me about those vouchers first but not the man who she was serving, and it was weird that all of a sudden she just looked at me with the vouchers in her hand but didn't say anything at first. I was so embaressed, and it was quite packed with lots of other people lining up at the tills, and i had a feeling everyone was looking at me. I didn't know whether to say "What?" or "Or can i help you?" or just give her the 'yes' expression, but me figuring that she probably did mean that do i collect the vouchers i just said no. but i sounded really stupid. My dad didn't know, coz i think he was looking somewhere else.
Has anyone else had this problem before. Someone just looking at you for a while without saying anything, and then you feel really ackward in how to break the stare and silence?
