Because it's all me, me, me... Apart from posting awful lies on Question of the Week, what ridiculous things have you or others done to grab the limelight?

I have never really craved the attention of anyone.

So I shouted "Look here, prostitute!".
Oh, crap, that's not it.

At least I assume she is. She very rarely mentions it.

I said "SLOW" so I left it on display so people would understand and make allowances for my behavior.

At the tail end of the last millennium, I went to a St Patrick's day drink up in South London pub with a few mates. One of these mates, Martin, I was "in a band" with - we hadn't done very much, but as I had a bass and he had a guitar and we played together sometimes - that was enough for us….
Anyway, so we're in this bar, getting on with a few girls we had just met there - and Martin jokingly says that I should go up to the actual band on stage, say WE'RE in a band - and for them to let us play a few songs.
So - in order to show off a bit (thinking that there's no chance we would EVER get invited up on stage) I did…
Next thing I know - we're being invited onto the stage while the actual band have a cheeky pint-break.
Suddenly I'm on stage with Martin in this bar full of drunken sods getting hammered just 'cos it's St Paddy's day and I was trying to impress a girl with some daft bravado...
"SING!! SING!! Play us a song!" Chanted the crowd. "Make it Irish!" Someone shouted...
"Right! We're going to do a Guns n Roses number!" Martin shouted into the mic - and launched into Paradise City.
A song that I was not really that keen on, and thus had no idea how the bassline went.
So there's Martin, playing a guitar and singing, and me with the bass strapped round my shoulder - NOT PLAYING IT - trying to sing along (I can't sing), proving to everyone, including the girl I was trying to impress, what a useless, massive, vacuum of talent I was - and possessing the arrogance and audacity to actually GET ON STAGE AND DISPLAY THIS.
Luckily - everyone was quite drunk and having a good time, and people didn't seem to be put off by two idiots getting on stage who were obviously totally out of their league, but not once - NOT ONCE - did I think of saying: "actually, can we play a song we BOTH know?"

I think this should become a sport - sadly I didn't get to do one at Lou Reed's:

shortly after my 21st birthday, a friend of mine sadly died. he was well-liked in the area and had a large family, so his funeral was well attended. his ex-girlfriend was the attention whore that day. despite the fact that she'd shown nothing but pleasure over his death in the week before his funeral, her ridiculously loud and quite obviously fake sobs in the church drowned out pretty much everything said by the vicar. there wasn't a single tear in her eyes, she just wanted to make a very sad occasion all about her.

get hit by a car. He was hurt but it didn't look too bad, certainly not life threatening. Bruises, few cuts, shock of the situation.
Very quickly there were people on the scene all helping and I was about the fourth person to rush over. As I pitched up I actually said "I am a nurse" and gestured toward the Masonic Hospital which used to be just there. I am not a medical professional and have no idea what I would have done had the chap needed urgent medical attention.
Luckily for me, a doctor and nurse that DID work in the hospital were on the scene and said "No you're not, you wanker." and I made a hasty exit.
