It's Not What It Looks Like!Cawl wrote two years ago, "People seem to have a knack for walking in at just the wrong time:
"Well, my clothes got wet, so did his... Yes, officer, huddling together to conserve body heat... Yes officer, he's five... No Officer... I'm not his Dad."
What have you done that, in retrospect, you'd really rather nobody had seen, mostly as things just get worse the more you try to explain it?

Another camping embarassment (gotta love them canvas walls!)Camping in a family campsite in the Lake District, with my GF and another couple. It's the first night, and all is well. Until, that is, the GF chose this night to have one of the Night Terrors that she sometimes suffered from.
This meant that she started moaning and crying out, thrashing about and generally acting as if she was being attacked. At this point we hadn't been going out long, and while I'd experienced these before, I hadn't yet found any way to wake her out of them. I'm also acutely aware that the noise is completely audible to anyone else nearby.
So, she's wailing in apparent agony and crying out "No! Please, No!" and so on; I'm desperately shaking her, and through gritted teeth imploring her to "Shut up! Shut up! Shut The Fuck Up!" trying to be loud enough to wake her (which I later discovered would have required the foghorn from a channel ferry jammed against her ear) while at the same time not being heard outside the tent.
Of course that was futile, and in the morning I emerged into the crowded campsite, surrounded by breakfasting families, to the kind of looks reserved for those caught buggering teddy bears in a creche. Not helped by the fact that the GF never had any memory of these night terrors.
Arse.

SO THEY ALL LOOKED AT YOU LIKE YOU WERE A RAPISTBut none of them thought it might be the right thing to knock on your canvas wall while it was happening and ask if everything is ok? Unbelievable.
'How was your camping trip George?'
'It was really nice, apart from that night when we all had to listen to that young man brutally raping his GF in the next tent.'

You make a good pointI can only assume that the Big Hairy Biker look put them off; In reality I'm a total pussy-cat, but I do sometimes scare the straights.
The irony is that she was much more violent than I ever was, and if anyone was genuinely being beaten up, it would have been me...
