A couple that I've heard of but not endured:
A mate claims to have twice accidentally negotiated his way out of sex by realising Pokemon was on TV and turning it on. Imagine that "mmm... oh yeah... oooh... shit! What time is it? Where's the remote?"

Also, and this one may well be bollocks, a female friend claims she was having sex doggy style with her boyfriend and told him "I want to be able to see your face while we make love", so he got his driving licence out and held it in front of her face.

Whether or not the latter is true
It is very, very funny.

I know
I was actually considering using it as a QOTW response but I've made a vague promise to myself to only tell stories that actually happened to me from now on. I don't want to turn into SpankyHanky

It's the sort of story that puts you on very thin ice, it's true
Although to really go down that route, you'd have to start embellishing it with details about having sex with a girl while her dad had turned his back for a few seconds to see what the weather was doing.

The funny thing is that when I started trawling the old QOTW posts, before I found OT
I thought Spanky was really funny. Upon further reading it became apparent just how much absolute bullshit was incorporated

I thought they began quite well. Some of the early ones, I thought, were genuinely funny.
But after a few weeks the same old formula became progressively more tired and obvious.

I think my "I'm not gay, really" shtick probably fits that description too
Not least since you pioneered it before I even rocked up

Oh don't worry, we've got something even better to replace that now...

(LongJohnBaldry, Wed 9 Feb 2011, 16:18, Reply)

I don't mind that one as much
Not least because the story ends with me two and a half grand better off

Also, it's already been done on there

Either that, or Doofy Style?

Now corrected
Please do this anyway. I'd find it very entertaining. Cos obviously you'd tell me.

that last one has been right around the houses as a story
course, that doesn't mean it didn't happen. It's up there with the whole "rodeo" thing.

the thing is
it might start off as an urban legend, doesn't mean someone hasn't subsequently copied it.

weirdly my /qotw story which got the most doubters honest-to-god 200% happened (and how i wish it hadn't) when a girl from my year called me and pretended to be from kfc, making me cluck as many times as i could in a minute... it might be an old joke/urban myth, but she heard it and decided to try it out, and i was gullible enough to fall for it! and i fucking hate chicken.
