In a taxi...On the way to a club with a couple of friends and the girl I was trying to "be with". We drive past the circus, which has come to Cambridge, and start laughing about Austin Powers and Carnies ("circus folk. Small hands. Smell of cabbage") - quoting the film and generally being silly.
Cab driver (a big bloke, too) looks at us all in his rear-view mirror and says "actually, my daughter works with the circus".
Quietest taxi ride I've ever had, after that.
Another one - friend of a friend sends out an email, only realises afterwards that she's not signed it "kind regards" like she meant to but instead signed it "kind retards".
