I did that with a pull cord in the shower in the Royal Marine hotel a couple of years ago... Cue a duty manager knocking on my door to make sure I was OK and profuse apologies from me....

I did that once as well at a hotel.

Immediately the phone rang.

"Is everything ok sir?"

"Yes, sorry I pulled the cord thinking it was a light switch"

"Are you quite sure sir?"

"Errr no, actually I just lied to you there and am currently lying on the floor having a stroke. Good job you double-checked that"

don't expect those kids to pay your pension then.

Anyway if the schools had normal uniforms back to school wouldn't be expensive - that is the point which you missed.

They ask are you sure in case you are being held at knife point or gun point and then you can say "NO" without raising alarm with the captor

Don't expect people to respect your opinion if you follow it up with "simples".

My fear of flying. I've flown 54 times in the last 4 years but the thoughts of flying tomorrow is making me so sick.

(On the good side, I get to see my little sister for the first time in 2 and a half months. I am super excited to see her

)

Speaking of pulling the wrong chord. This is unbelievably trivial, but I hate when I pull the wrong chord to either open or shut the wooden blinds and nothing happens. I've had the blinds for over five years now, you'd think I would know which was the right one to pull.

A smoker standing at the upwind end of the bus shelter when it's raining. As if it were a deliberate attempt to make sure everyone has to choose between staying dry and breathing his stinking smoke.

Nope, it was more a mini-power trip by the receptionist to try and make sure you felt like a complete spa.

TA#1: last night my flat mate gave me a disgusting haircut, I look like one of those fellows up in court on the 9 o'clock news (now I know why they really cover their heads). I've cut my hair too short many times, somehow I always think it will turn out better next time.

TA#2: There's a really hot Lithuanian cleaner in my office who is a Mischa Barton lookalike, and she is always kind enough not to vomit when I flirt with her in the office kitchen.

Anyway, she didn't recognize me at first at then sternly she said, in your best, Russian bondgirl voice, "Why did you do this to your hair?" :mad:

Why would you let your flat mate cut your hair???

For charity, always for charity.
Then throw a charity a few notes to ease up on the guilt.

Got charged double for a jar of coffee in Aldi near work yesterday. Only noticed when I got home when I was looking at the receipt for the market research I do. Today I forgot to bring the receipt in so I can ask for a refund, and I won't be in work again till Friday. :mad:. It's only 2.99 but I'm already overdrawn this week....

The amount of clothes the OH packs when we go on holiday for both herself and the kids.

I checked the suitcase she's packed for our 6 year old last night and she's put in 10 t-shirts for a 14 night stay!

We've got a washing machine in the apartment anyway so this seems beyond excessive.

Obviously I value my sexytime arrangements too much to dare question the amount of shoes she needs to bring with her - but I'm drawing the line at 10 t-shirts!

Thinking of taking half of them out without mentioning it.

When there's a window open in the house and it makes a door rattle like crazy every few minutes.

Turn it off and on again.

Alternatively...Double-click the blank area on the tab strip.

How can any man put that sentence and the word sexytime in the same post?

I would have packed 14 (at least) btw:P

You are welcome. How about Un-install and resintalling chrome?

People (e.g. work colleagues or friends you don't see that often) who assume you know their entire family or other friends' names after they mention them to you once at some point in the past. Then every time forever you meet them they start talking about "Mary" and "Joe" etc like you're meant to remember who these people are (as opposed to "my sister Mary" or "Joe who I work with").

I have enough trouble remembering my own friends/family names without having to remember all of theirs too!!

Your OH has in fact, under-packed! There should be 14 shirts for 14 days!!

And a few spares. Got to plan for the worst case scenario which is that the washing machine does not work and the kids make a holy mess of themselves - top to toe.

Are you going to be washing and drying the clothes?

ratmouse · 05-08-2015 11:28AM

When wearing your glasses and looking at a screen and you can see a smear or piece of dirt on the glasses. You try ignore it's there but in the end have to get something to clean the glasses!
