    You mean when you go to put the cardboard box in the recycling bin at night, only to discover that it is in fact the general waste bin?

    There I was opening a jar of marmalade this morn when the lid slipped and fell onto the floor. Looking down I realized it had landed upside down, I guess one could say it had flipped.

    Not really, no!

    More when you're having an argument with someone and go at it like mad making your point and it gets really heated and half way through you realise, oh fcuk, I'm wrong'! :eek:

    Close but no cigar! :pac:

    Like when you open a tin of Family Circle instead of USA biscuits?

    Infuriating :mad:

    I remember my first intercation with a bus lane and a taxi driver. Had no idea about the rules of bus lanes at the time, and was pulling into the bus lane near a roundabout to go left and got beeped at by a taxi driver, who pulled up beside me, window down and gave out to me. I fooked him out of it for about 30 seconds for driving in a bus lane and stopping to give out to me, to which he replied "I'm allowed to drive in them". I then, at that exact point, remembered hearing something like that, and said "Well fook you so" and took off!

    Once I opened a yoghurt and realised there wasn't any on it to lick off. But then I found out I had it back to front. I flipped it. Then everything was ooooooh kay.

    Quality of threads these days is poor. I carry threads now.

    I flipped one morning after a college party when I realised that somebody had pissed on our backdoor step. Then I had a flashback......

    I killed my parents for throwing out my bag of meth but then I realised I'd hidden it in the cupboard.

    D'oh!
