Heartbreak As Woman Commits To Wave Before Realising It’s Not Who She Thought It Was

“NIAMH! Niamh! It’s Sarah, Niamh! Jaysus are you deaf, Niamh!”

The words of squinting local Waterford woman Sarah Dunne, who is struggling to recover from Third Degree Mortification following an embarrassingly excitable wave she waved at a woman who is not, it turns out, her old college pal Niamh.

“It wasn’t a woman at all. It turns out, it was a broken umbrella stuffed in a bin, but as I squinted it looked just like Niamh’s lovely mane of black hair,” explained Dunne, who tragically confirmed there were multiple witnesses to her ecstatic hand waving.

“You’d swear I was trying to signal a plane to come in for landing, my hands were doing all the moves,” added Dunne, who now wishes the black hole which opened up to swallow her contained a second black hole she could disappear down.

Experts in ‘it’s time to consider getting glasses’ have confirmed a trip to your local Specsavers is a far more preferable option than slinking down into a black hole.

This latest incident has given Dunne pause to consider if this was the first time such an embarrassing mix up has happened.

“Now that I think of it, I waved at a bush with two footballs stuck in it once, I thought it was some lad with very large eyes,” confirmed Dunne, who has set the ’embarrassing incidents’ sign back to zero ahead of her visit to Specsavers.
