Last night my wife decided that she couldn’t be bothered cooking after a long day at work, so we went out for dinner. Given that it was Friday night there were a lot of people who had the same idea, which meant no parking anywhere near the restaurant.
So I dropped my wife off outside the place we were going to eat so she could secure a table, and then drove back towards home looking for a park. Eventually found one about halfway back towards home and duly pulled in beside a policeman.
Common sense told me that I should put money in the parking meter, given that the cop was standing right there. So once I had found enough coins to satisfy the hungry little meter, I headed back into town on foot.
I eventually arrived at the restaurant and then went hunting for my wife in the nooks and crannies that seemed to make up the place.
After a quick search (search and rescue skills coming in very handy) I found her sitting with another man.
It transpired that the waitress had asked my wife if she was waiting for someone and she said yes, her husband. The waitress then asked “What does he look like?”
My wife replied “Like a Hobbit.”
It also transpired that the chap I found sitting with my wife was looking for his wife and when the waitress found him she put two and two together and came up with five. So she guided him to my wife and presented her with her ‘husband’.
Given that he was still there when I arrived, I’m not sure if I should be concerned or not. I mean, she didn’t tell him to bugger off or anything. When I arrived they were tucked into a romantic little corner chatting away like they had known each other for years.
I’m also a bit concerned that he was about 6 foot tall. What sort of Hobbit is that?

Nothing to worry about she probably just didn't wanna be mean when he brought up a conversation i have a girlfriend sometimes girls talk to me ill talk back when i kinda want to just say i have a girlfriend if there hitting on me but just let the convo go for 2 minutes then dont look back
Oh I wasn't concerned really. ;-) My wife loves it when someone else pays her some attention. But I have no fears that she will run off with someone else.
I'm not the jealous type, but I do love to tease her about it when someone tried to chat her up.
well, seeing as he was also looking for his wife, I expected her to come in at any minute, so no worries :)
did she say 'Hobbit' or tall, dark, handsome, mysterious looking, stud?
He was the sort of hobbit that doesn't wear his legs off running around the streets.
I know!!
I think I'm even shorter now! Either that or Vera is getting taller. I might have to look at taking up a different sport or i'll turn into an actual Hobbit hehe
Yoy said it,
Careful, this could be hobbit-forming ;) I assume your car didn't get a ticket after all that. Did the other guy have big, hairy feet?
no thankfully. I paid for parking until the end of the period.
I didn't check out the other guy's feet. But my wife seems to like my big hairy feet, so if he did, that would be even more concerning hehehe
haha, perfect. Is it common description your wife uses for you?
Yes it is. sigh. hehehe
She often calls me her little hobbit.
I wonder what she'l say when I come home one day and tell her I'm off on an adventure....... hehehe (with some dwarves that like to drink a lot)
haha, that's cute :)
Thank you very much
My sbd is 10 from you...
Yes. That was for being my 1000th follower :-)
Thanks very much
How was the rest of your dinner and did you get rid of the Hobbit?
dinner was good. Nope, didn't get rid of the hobbit, because I am the hobbit hehe
Well, did you get rid of the unwelcome guest then 😉
yes. I think he went looking for his own wife hehe
