The funniest one I can recall is when I went with my mate and his mum and dad for a day at the seaside when I was about 11 or 12 . We went to this cafe and it was empty apart from us and this old couple at the next table. It had a Space Invaders and my mates dad gave us 10p each to have a go. I went first and managed a level or two but when it came to my mates turn he lost his first life pretty fast, so he told me to go and sit down as I was distracting him. Not long after he obviously lost his final life without reaching my score and shouted out really loud, "Bastard!!". Not wanting to cause a scene or offend the old couple , my mates dad waited until he got back to the table and calmly but in a loud enough voice so the old couple could hear said "Ah Blasted, you got Blasted did you son". To which my relieved mate said "Yeah". The old couple had clearly heard what he'd said and the old man in particular was trying not to laugh.
A few minutes later the old couple had finished their drinks and were leaving. As they were passing our table they both said goodbye to be polite. We all replied back with the same. The old man turned and nudges my mates arm and said to him "Never mind lad, those aliens can be right bastards can't they!!". The old couple calmly walked out as my mate, his dad and I burst out laughing. His mum who didn't like swearing was less than amused, nudged his dad's arm and said the typical "We all know who he's picked that up from don't we"
