[New Forum] Dropping money under desk and hitting head when retrieving it

Dustaz · 03-10-2003 1:49pm #1

I tend to drop money under my desk quite a lot and in the ensuing panic i always hit my head on the way back up!

I have an urgent desire to bore the pants off the countless other boards users who also share this experience but i dont think theres any existing forum to post under!!

I really think that if this forum were given a chance, it will only be a matter of time before the irish money/desk/bump/head community flocks to it.

How about it?

IgnatiusJRiley · 03-10-2003 1:50pm

So I'm NOT the only one

Dustaz · 03-10-2003 1:54pm

not at all. Its a growing concern and i cant believe its not already covered in boards.ie!

Imposter · 03-10-2003 1:56pm

I can't believe it's not butter.

Occidental · 03-10-2003 1:58pm

I quite frequently drop money off the bar in my local. Would this forum be wide-ranging enough to cover this area, or should I request a more specialised forum.

BuffyBot · 03-10-2003 1:59pm

Why can't people see we need this forum NOW!!!!!!!

seamus · 03-10-2003 2:10pm

I endorse this product and/or service.

rofl tbh

koneko · 03-10-2003 2:18pm

This isn't fair. If you get that forum, then I should get one about stubbing my toe on a table/chair/desk. I feel it's a much more pressing issue than your trivial one. tbh tbh

MarcusGarvey · 03-10-2003 2:25pm

Koneko and Dustaz, why not have a forum that covers both, maybe called it "Weird Occurences with furniture ? "

This would also cover places that are non-office and non-workplace.

I'm sure that was the name of an OMD album

That's just asking for Mercury_Tilt to post something so perverse that it would be frowned upon in even the seedier bars in Amsterdam...

Gordon · 03-10-2003 2:35pm

Finally I can feel like I belong.

Make it so, and put a radio on it too please.

sure they'd end up splitting it into "weird occurences with furniture" at home and then in the office. Cause there would of course be a need for it

Can it be a joint forum with " Too lazy to search through my change, so now I have holes in my pockets and money in my shoes"

amp · 03-10-2003 3:14pm

I would tend to whack my head off press doors after getting milk for my cornflakes (hence the opened press door). I demand my needs be catered to in said forum.

no forum on this then?

bonkey · 03-10-2003 3:25pm

Surely, what is needed is an entirely new group heading entitled "How Cool Am I", with various fora underneath it, including but not limited to the afore-mentioned. Other important titles would include "Slicing yourself whilst preparing food", "Falling off office chair from overbalancing, and the all important "forgetting to take spoon out of coffee and stabbing yourself in the eye".

How can these forums not exist already?

Madame, you moderate it.

DeVore · 03-10-2003 3:40pm

I want a Board under music entitled "No I've never heard of that band before. Yes you are very cool to know about them."

Don't forget "Putting the milk in the oven and the salt in the fridge" and "Try to remember where you were when you lost them".

BuffyBot · 03-10-2003 3:47pm

What about "Bellybutton fluff" forum? Thats verrrrrry important!

Naval Hair. Gets you in trouble with sailors

Dustaz · 03-10-2003 4:00pm

Its becoming very obvious from the success of the Dropping money under desk and hitting head when retrieving it forum that there is a desperate need for more fora of this type.

I suggest creating a new section and replacing an existing section.

Since the submenu is pretty full, we should go by yodas alphabetical method and replace the Admin section.

Boards.ie can only grow from this change!

The change that fell out of the pocket ?

Yavvy · 03-10-2003 4:26pm

It’s plain for all to see that a foibles forum is required.
Now I don’t really know the meaning of foibles or the spelling for that matter but I do know it has something to do with each persons special and common oddities.

My personal foible is lying down too fast in bed and banging my head off the headboard. Yes I know it’s a head board but it’s not padded and it’s not for banging (in that sense).

but im not unaccustomed to banging my head retrieving money, stubbing my toe (always with a cup of tea or coffee in my hand, which i promptly spill) or even over laden pants due to a pub shrapnel surplus

Vote for the Foibles forum

amp · 03-10-2003 4:38pm

I forgot to request a "I can't remember why I came into this room but I know I came in for a reason" forum. Please make this asap.

kthxbye

Crash · 03-10-2003 5:05pm

...My head hurts.

Johnny_the_fox · 03-10-2003 5:43pm

I request for the forum -> "protesting new forums"...

simple - protesting against new forums

Gordon · 04-10-2003 8:33am

Oops I just dribbled.

azezil · 04-10-2003 8:45am

oooh and my personal favourite 'LOOK AT ME I'M GAY \o/' forum.

Isint that what you use IRC for?

I would like to see a Winters Corp. forum created under the Commercial menu thingy. Would benefit all and also the Corporation itself.

You already have the run of boards saying that. Its like "Name that tune" except instead of "I can name that tune in four notes " its
"I will tell you I'm a homosexual in four words"

I think you may need to work on the delivery of your humour more as irc is already polluted with your homosexual exploits and people seem to think your pushy in your face "notice me I'm a fag" is the real you and not an ironic piss take out of gay men who have just discovered their sexuality and need to inform the world.

Shinji · 06-10-2003 2:37pm

Sorry, at which point did it make the transition from being the real him to being ironic? Because I don't think anyone noticed....

amp · 06-10-2003 2:50pm

I did, but then I too seem to have made the hate list, eh Rob, me aul china?

Shinji · 06-10-2003 3:27pm

When you merit inclusion on any list, I'll let you know.

BuffyBot · 06-10-2003 3:39pm

Can we have a forum for the above discussion ^^^^

amp · 06-10-2003 3:39pm

Maybe a new forum perhaps? Call it "People who Shinji looks down on and would rather they left his meritocracy, Forum"

You could include selections from their posts and post witty, cutting replies. Of course only a very, very select few would be allowed to see it.

Keep hating Rob, keep that fire burning.

Man this thread was relatively nice and fuzzy till you came along.

Edit for spelling

why is that then? is this another case of you saying you hate somebody, only to confess you undieing love for them after getting pissed drunk in real life.

Then wear shoes and get back in the kitchen away from that desk, that damn chain is too long

And how about a "banging of knees against table / desk legs" (ngghghhhhh!) and a similar one for elbows. And of course the infamous "standing on Lego and Upturned Electrical Plugs" forum - how could can one not mention it, or was it assumed all along?

Evil Phil · 07-10-2003 12:31pm

I stood on a safety pin once that went about an inch into the heel of my foot, perpendicular to the skin*. Took ages to get it out. Maybe we could have a 'Safety Pin Accident Survivors' forum, kind of a support group for the traumatised.

*True story¹

dod · 07-10-2003 12:47pm

Following the events of last Saturday night, I do believe that a 'Boards Beer survivors group' forum is warranted.

Me: My name is dod, and (sob) I went to a Boards Beer event last saturday
Group: Hi dod
Facilitator: You've taken the first step dod. We feel your pain
Guy next to me: It's three months since my last boards beer, though I did have a momentary lapse. Now all of us here go on Boards beer survivor group beers instead.
Guy next to him: Then a splinter group formed. They called themselves the 'Boards beer survivor group survivor group'. They go on their own beers too.

OK.... I can see where this might get troublesome

Clintons Cat · 07-10-2003 1:05pm

Maybe we could have a 'Safety Pin Accident Survivors' forum, kind of a support group for the traumatised.

An excellent suggestion,More should be done to make people aware of the menace posed to society by these so called "safety" pins.

One time i accidendly put one in my mouth and started chewing it and the clasp came undone Almost spearing my tongue to the side of my cheek i ask you,whats SAFE about that?

BuffyBot · 07-10-2003 1:17pm

I want a forum where everyone can discuss button collecting.

Safety pins...pfft!

Evil Phil · 07-10-2003 1:49pm

To think that they use safety pins to keep nappies on babies! We should start a national campaign to have the banned.

Won't somebody please think of the children.

azezil · 07-10-2003 2:49pm

I'm a nobody please ignore me
