This weekend I was DJing and got a tiny bit carried away. Having done the typical ooh-look-at-me-playing-songs thing of raising my hands in the air, exhorting the crowd to, well, I don't know really, apart from look at me I suppose, I brought them back down fiercely on the appropriate beat, cracking my knuckles hard against the table my decks were sitting on. Lost in the moment, I didn't really notice until I felt blood trickling down the fingers on both hands.
Which looked COOL

Alt Q - why do we put up with the concept of queueing? Why is it not yet legal for me to declare myself more important than everyone ahead of me and push to the front?

I just waited half an hour until the other two women in my office had gone out so I wouldn't have to make them a brew. I hate the brew rotation, no one makes it how I like it and I have to make loads whenever I want one. What do you hate doing at work that's not actually work related?

Just had my front door kicked in by the police and spent a nasty, horrible night at the station, because a neighbour saw me "carrying a wing mirror" after some local vandalism. I was carrying a hat......... :( :( WTF? Police wont pay for any damage because they found 0.1g of weed on me :( Luckily only got a caution. Need. to. unwind. Drinking wine at 5am now and chain-smoking rollies. Being locked in a bare, solitary cell with no windows for 3 hours is not fun.

Which wrongly-used words or phrases really fuck you off?
Here are some that really get my goat:
'bored of'
'pacifically'
'different to'
'ignorant' (when used in the context of ignoring someone)
'centres around'
There are so many of these in common misuse it's amazing I don't die of apoplexy on a daily basis.

I'm 23 and have recently started playing for a local Sunday league team. I used to play football as a kid, from age 8 to about 16, but then I got into coaching and hadn't played 11-a-side until a couple of months ago.
I was still fairly fit though due to constant 5-a-side games mid week.
During my first game with the team at the end of July I managed to pull my hammy in my left leg when I overstretched for the ball, understandable. It took me a few weeks to fully recover and returned to the team a couple of weeks ago.
Last week I played 70 minutes and was fine. Yesterday, I played 5 minutes before my RIGHT hamstring went. No over-stretching this time, just running for the ball. I've no idea why it pulled and I'm pissed off, but also concerned that it will keep happening.
I always stretch as much as possible before games (more so since the first hamstring injury)
I do a lot more stretching than the other players (who all seem to last 90 minutes without problem)
I certainly do a lot more stretching than I did when I played as a kid, and I never injured myself as a kid.
All I want to know is if I'm being really naive in thinking I've done enough stretching, when really I need to do more; or if there's another reason why one might suffer this type of injury more regularly than others?

and I have a concept for a guy called the Duke of Funk. He wears a huge top hat, aviators, a frock coat, ruffled shirt, flares and platform shoes with musical notation on them, and has a massive cigar, a ponytail and a sabre. He is an impossibly good dancer and of questionable sexuality.
His nemesis is a guy called the Dope Pope, who wears a pope hat with a cannabis leaf on it and looks generally like the pope as a stoner. His favourite evil action is to fire his opponents out of a huge gun gloating "prepare to be cannonised!".
Other possible characters include the Viscount of Groove and the Phat Controller. 70s slang prevails throughout. The question is, would you want to see this turned into an illustrated storyline?
