Tense moments

Scanlas The 2nd

A moment I find tense is the 2 seconds or so it takes for the bar in the vending machine to drop. Keep thinking it won't. Occasionally it doesn't.

The few secs wait for the cash to come out of the ATM after the card comes out!

Does the tension kill you when the bar doesn't come out?

in relation to this,
when you press the 20 to withdraw cash and the second where you dont know if it will start counting the money or it will tell you that you have insufficient funds.

occasionally, just occasionally, 2 bars drop. these are the moments that make life worth living. Ode To Joy begins playing, fireworks and fountains erupt, triumphant air punching occurs. all in my head of course

<_<

KungPao

When you're knockin' one out and hear a floorboard squeak outside your bedroom door, and your eyes zoom to the door handle while your frantically pull up your trousers.

Heart-stopping stuff.

Bipolar Joe

That moment when you're standing as the point of a triangle, pointing guns at two people who are pointing guns at you and each other, all because you wanted a few dollars more.

Fumbling round from under the covers to locate the condom while trying not to kill the moment

My favourite sound in the world is that rolling sound of the ATM reaching for the cash and suddenly you know you've won again.

Alter-Ego

Sitting in the bedroom with your GF waiting on the pregnancy test to tell you whether your life's over or not...It's not over

Also, does anybody else get that thing when you're on a Dublin Bus and the driver hits the break, the bus kind of leans forward on the suspension and you're waiting for it to shunt back? Serious tension waiting for that to happen.

I've heard that sound is actually artificial, as the process of your money being counted is actually silent. #funfact #winning #notactuallyontwitter

Handing in my social welfare card in the post office and hoping you didn't forget to sign on.

Doesn't happen to me now but when i was 21, 22 and buying beer in a supermarket the few moments before you get to the cashier hoping she doesnt ask for ID.

The few moments after you see blue flashing lights in the rear view mirror then the relief when you relies its only an ambulance.

Waiting for the Pain to begin from me "grapes" as I'm doin a big Log

MetzgerMeister

When you're one the motorway and you may have been doing 130km/h and a Garda car arrives alongside you with flashing lights only go go straight past you. That's tense!

Waiting in the foyer of an NCT centre, looking through the glass at your car being tested. I hate it!

hatrickpatrick

When you pass the bouncer your age card and hope you won't get turfed out
When you've just updated your laptop and have to restart and for some reason it stays black for ages
When you've done something you really don't want to get caught doing and you hear someone ominously using your proper name (In my case "Patrick" or "Padraig" instead of "Paddy" gets the alarm bells going in my head that some hideous mischief on my part has been discovered)

Lol, The two seconds that seem like forever until the printer starts printing the receipt.

LeeHoffmann

when other people start bitching at each other and then the moment's silence that follows while they stare at each other and everyone else concentrates on the floor or the ceiling.

opening letters that will either -reject your application, -confirm you have a job/place on a college course, or -tell you your exam results.

Larianne

When you text someone to ask them out on a date.

..Then when you hear the beep of the reply.

Scanlas The 2nd

When you can't understand what someone has said and have said what over three times and proceeded to give a hedge your bets answer hoping that it makes sense.

When you were underage and walking up to the bouncer at the door of the pub/niteclub praying they wouldn't ask for ID.

Larianne

Or what just happened me now..

A nurse from my great aunt's nursing home rang up to speak to my mother about the aunt. I said I'd take the message.... thinking she fecking died...

no... just put on anti-biotics. :rolleyes:

lastlaugh

That moment when a large Turd is about to drop and you wonder if it's going to cause a splash or not.

Alt+Tabbing to another web browser. :mad:

When you wake up hungover on a Saturday morning and decide to log onto boards, and you see up in the right corner;

Welcome, Strobe
You last visited: Today at 04:44
Private Messages: Unread 3, Total 17

and think "Jesus Christ those PM's aren't going to be positive"

Or subsequently when you wake up on Saturday morning and go to check your mobile phone and see '6 sent messages' you don't recall sending to an ex that you know must have been posted in a state of unsightly intoxication.

On a similar note, those tense moments when you wake up after a particularly hard night on the sauce and try and piece together what actually happened the night before...
