Oh Gawd! I'd really love to know what happened next.

What else could happen, an embarrased laugh from them, I closed my eyes for what seemed like 2 hours, little one was oblivious to the whole thing and started excitedly showing the things and how they worked etc.

She probably saved the day too to be fair, as we were mortified and she just took over.

That said, the couples kids were the same age, so they´d probably had a few " out of the mouths of kids" moments too i´d imagine.


when they left, me wife and I just sat there in silence.

Twas weeks before we could laugh about it

My mates younger bother was on a school trip to Spain. The lads done the usual 16 year old stuff of buying cheap pellet guns in the local markets.

On the last day there the teachers gathered all the lads in one room and offered them an contraband goods amnesty.

Anyone with anything they shouldn't have was to place on a chair in this room after the teacher left for 2 mins and no more would be said about, bag searches were to be carried out later and there would be trouble if anything was found.

Anthony had just bought a filthy porno and put it up on the chair, no one else put anything up.

No bags were searched and Anthony was upset his DVD was gone.

So when they landed back in Dublin Anthony hatched a plan!

He walked up to the teacher at the baggage claim and asked for his movie back, it was for his brother James who had given him money for it. The teacher refused.

As they were walking through the arrival gates Anthony mother and father were there to greet him, the teacher seen him talking to them and walked over porno in hand, handed it to Anthony's father and "his brother asked him to buy this in Spain for him".

First driving lesson.

[Me, nervously]: Can I take my foot off the clunge yet?

Riddle101

Few years ago I went to Bush Gardens in Florida. Was queuing up to get on a Rollercoaster and started to feel sick. But I was so close to the end of the line I decided to risk it and stay queuing. Finally got to the end and just go into the front car and suddenly puked. I was kicked off the ride right in front of everyone and had to go home. Ruined the whole day for me.

a few minutes longer and that could have ruined the day for a few other people

I'm such a nerd. On my second lesson, my instructor was telling me to change from second into third, going up a hill. I started arguing with him that by the time I'd clutch and change into a higher gear I'd be back at a speed worthy of second gear. PMSL. I had learned about deceleration at Physics classes you see.

I refused to change into a higher gear going up a slope hehehehehe no matter what argument he put to me lol. Oh God, the shame.

Thankfully, I have since learned how to drive.

I used to work in a car insurance call centre. A customer called in to say he was about to buy a new car and wanted to know how it would affect his premium. I gave him the adjusted price, and he told me he didn't want to put it on cover just yet and asked what he should do when he wanted to make the change.

At this point my brain flash up two possible answers:
"Give us a call when you get the car."
and
"Give us a call when you pick it up."

...but what came out was, "Give us a call when you get it up."

Oh just remembered one for myself:

Had these jeans- which were slightly worn and prob shouldn't have been wearing them to work..
Anyhow basically they ripped down my ass and all down left leg when was helping tie one of the service users shoes- so they were totally unwearable
Now as soon as this happened the Area Unit Director arrives at the centre- so I need to run into town and get some pants.. (I need to anyhow, but all the more so when he shows up)

So i take of my jumper and tie it around my waste to cover my ass and head out side door and try make it up town..
Its dry but a very windy day, end up mooning a loud of German tourists on way to shop..

So get to shop and realise don't have laser card with me and only have €20 cash on my. Only pants can find I can afford are these XXL Waterproof slack trousers- only they are way to big. I buy them and had to nervoulsy ask could i change into them in changing room..

So ya, I get back to work and can hear me walking from miles away cuase of the noise of the pants- Area Unit Director comes up to me and my legs sweating like hell cuase of the heat in these pants and is like "So your the new guy"

I... what? Up a hill you go into a lower gear if you plan on keeping speed constant. Usually. Obviously if you're massively accelerating you can go up one

VONSHIRACH

2 years ago I slipped on ice outside a shop, I was picking myself up and a voice asked was I ok. It was some 6 year old kid walking by.

One night after getting off a bus at busaras, I tore out rushing to get a dublin bus and I slipped on oil/grease and came crashing down behind some babe, she thought she was being mugged. I was morto.

As a kid, I bought a packet of crisps in a shop, tried to be cool and open it by squeezing it with one hand, and it burst all over the shop counter, and the shop owner was serving away and I was trying to put the crisps back in the bag.

I got the last train to Cork from Portarlington once. A few minutes after boarding in a hurry and getting on a packed train which left the station, an announcement was made asking was there a Mr Vonshirach on the train, and to get off at the next station as I had boarded the train to Dublin, to get off at Kildare and get the Cork train there. My friend had driven me to the station and I was strapped for time and just boarded the train at the platform. The train made an unscheduled stop at Kildare, and I sheepishly got off and waited for the right train going the other way to Cork.

That's brilliant. I can only imagine what everyone else on the train was thinking.

I can almost match ^^^.
In the early 90s meself and my partner had a pub in Bristol, working 80/90 hour weeks as you do in the bar game.
After a few attempts we finally found a trainee management couple who were good enough to run the place while we took an actual full day off.
We headed off to Bath which was the next place to the east. Done a good bit of touristy stuff and then went for food and pints (lots of). Got the train back about 9.20 in order to be back in Bristol in time to have a drink elsewhere and get back to the pub and congratulate them on doing such a good job.
Unfortunately we both fell asleep and woke up in Newport on the other side of the bridge. Popped into a pub owned by the same brewery to ring mine (no mobiles that time) and tell them we were getting the next train back.
Couple of pints later we hopped on the train back and promptly fell asleep again. Totally missed the two stations in Bristol and woke up in Bath again!
Cue me ringing him from a phonebox in Bath saying 'we are getting a taxi back from Bath now, won't be long'. His reply 'weren't you in Wales last time you rang?'

Jawgap

Keeping up the travel theme........

A few years ago flying back to Dublin from the States I was transiting through Alanta. Arriving into Atlanta with hours to spare I went for something to eat then after a leisurely meal I made my way to International Departures.

Just as I was starting my leisurely browse of duty free, there was an announcement......."if passenger Jawgap is in international departures can he please make his way urgently to gate xx."

So off I stroll, thinking these lot are keen.

I get to the gate and I'm practically bundled on to the plane. I asked what the rush was all about and I was told it was delaying the flight - I was the last passenger to board. I responded that I'd at least an hour, but as I'm spouting the words I simultaneously realise I forgot to change my watch when I crossed time zones!!!!

So I get on, they immediately shut the door send as I'm searching for my seat, the cabin supervisor helpfully begins an announcement with "now ALL our passengers are on board......."

Eventually, I find my seat and fling myself into it just so I'm not the only one standing. Barely had the seatbelt clicked when the captain announced " Due to the late arrival of our remaining passenger we've missed our slot, and there will be a delay of 45 minutes in our departure........"

We eventually got away two hours late......

I was traveling from Newcastle to Dublin before, It is one of those airports where when you hand in your boarding pass you go into a lounge and sit and wait for the plane.

I made my way to my usual spot and sat down.

A while later a Mother and Child came and the Mother took the last remaining seat beside me. The Child (about 4/5) was doing the usual things that Children do, but got bored pretty quick and I could tell she wanted to sit down.

She told her Mother she wanted to sit down, to which her Mother replied there are no seats and ushered her to sit on her lap. The Child refused and started giving me the evils and told her Mother that she wanted a seat of her own.

Her Mother took an angry tone with the Child, shuffled to the edge of her seat which was at the end of the aisle and ushered the Child to sit in the gap she had formed between us.

The Child gave me evils again and jumped up and was wedged between us. I could see her looking at my legs and upon her noticing that hers were touching mine she shouted at the top of her voice . . .

"Mummy the man is touching me"

I just wanted to disappear, i get easily embarrassed anyways and here I was being accused of touching a young girl in a packed waiting lounge.

Her mother told her to shut up, and a few moments later the Child told her she needed to go to the toilet. So, moments after a little Girl accused me of touching her, just as the redness was subsiding, the Mother and Child grab their belongings and head for the Exit door.

I just hung my head in shame, closed my eyes and hoped that we were going to board before they returned.

Omg I'm useless at funerals. I usually laugh the whole way through...nervous giggles....it's awful.

I was at the funeral of a friend's father a few years ago and when I was sympathising, instead of ''sorry for your loss'' I said ''Hi how are ya'' to all of them. There was about 15 of them. I sounded like a fecking Indian.

HihowareyaHihowareya.

Jesus. Morto.

Up to fairly recently, not really thinking about it, if I was at a funeral shaking the hands, Id say "may my condolences be with you".

Until someone said back to me "may the force be with you too" :pac:
