The dog food made a convincing argument
Two trolleys are side by side in a supermarket. Deb takes one, then firmly tells another shopper it belongs to her. A large bag of dog food makes the problem obvious: Deb has a cat. It is an awkward first conversation of the morning when she had gone out partly for company. She apologises, and the man laughs about making a similar mistake with a basket. They find Deb's trolley nearby and talk about their pets. Rosie hears how being confidently wrong gave way to a much more comfortable exchange. Afterwards, the two shoppers go their separate ways and Mabel's dinner survives the mix-up.
What Rosie brings to the conversation
Rosie meets Deb's embarrassment with a little humour and curiosity. Deb and the other shopper share a laugh, compare fussy pets and carry on with their mornings. It is just the sort of little encounter she wants to tell somebody about. If you have a funny, awkward or simply ordinary story to tell, you can try a free chat with Rosie.

Deb: I told a man it was my trolley. Then I found the dog food.
Rosie: You don't have a dog.
Deb: Exactly. I'd gone out for a bit of company. My opening line was a firm claim over somebody else's groceries.
Rosie: How did you get that far?
Deb: Two trolleys side by side. I picked one. He said, 'Excuse me, I think that's mine.' I said, 'No, this one's mine.'
Rosie: With confidence?
Deb: Office-administrator confidence. Then I looked down. Huge bag of dog food. Mabel would have had questions.
Rosie: What did you say?
Deb: 'I am so sorry. I don't even have a dog. I've got a cat.' He laughed. 'I've done it with somebody's basket.'
Rosie: You could stop defending the evidence.
Deb: Yes. We found mine two feet away. Then he asked about my cat.
Rosie: A subject you actually knew?
Deb: Far too well. His dog steals the cat's food. Mabel inspects every cupboard. Suddenly we were just two people having a chat.
Deb: Then we went our separate ways. I checked my trolley before leaving. Three times. Mabel's dinner survived.
Rosie: Like and subscribe if you've ever been very confident for about three seconds.
