Question of the Week suggestions
Each week we ask a question. The idea is to generate material that's:
* interesting to read, i.e. we won't get bored of reading the answers after about 10 of them
* not been asked on this site before
* fun to answer
What would you like to ask? (We've left this question open - so feel free to drop in ideas anytime.)

Disgust
Recently, while working overtime in work, I had cause to use the men's room. Unfortunately, it was around 8pm, had been used all day, and the cleaner doesn't come in until 10pm. Thus, it smelled like someone had shat out a wet dog. It was truly revolting.
What's the most disgusting thing you've come across lately? What sickens you to your very core? Share your pain with the internet...

You think you know someone, then...
Your friends have built up a picture of you but there's still bound to be some little quirk or fact that they just couldn't get their heads round. What is it that your friends would be horrified to learn about you? Or what's the most out of character thing you're learned about a loved one? Context, please.

Game movies they should have made...
We all love the celluloid masterpiece that is "Street Fighter". Those three thespian heavyweights - Van Damme, Minogue and that bloke from the Adams Family - showing the world how to deliver dialogue and and wear silly outfits. Crappy as it may be, I find myself hypnotically drawn to watch it whenever I see it on.
The Silent Hill movie was ok, but Doom sucked. I'd love to see a movie of Flight of The Amazon Queen and maybe even Monkey Island.
What games would you like to see made into movies and who would you cast?

What a day...
I'm sure most of us have had bad days.
Days where thing after thing goes horribly wrong.
You can often look back and laugh, so why not share your misadventures with the world (or at least b3ta).
In the space of 24 hours I once fell down the stairs, split up with my girlfriend, was made homeless, got into a pub brawl, had my wallet stolen and got my foot run over by an old woman on a mobility scooter.
Let's hear your stories.

What still makes you cringe?
I seem to permanently be walking around remembering and cringing about something absolutely, humiliatingly embarrassing I've done, a stupid way I have behaved or some dickish thing I said at an inappropriate time. I can't be the only one can I?

Unintentionally-funny acronyms
Personally, i giggled myself stupid when I saw the chief mouthpiece for the Moro Islamic Liberation Front identified on TV as a MILF spokesperson. Surely, there must be others.

Cons
Just been in Ireland, and was succumbed to the Worst Con Ever. A guy came up to me with a laminated bit of paper, and said if I gave him One Euro, he could go to this place which offers Dinner, Dessert and a Bed for the night for One Euro. Instead of giving him the much desired coin, I just asked where the place was, and I'd pay for everyone's night. He mumbled and walked off.
Have you ever foiled or been the victim of a con?

Vigilante justice
After having read through so many QOTW stories of crimes or people just generally being cunts, it's time for a week of heartwarming tales. Despite the overload of bureaucracy and the lack common sense, there's still some decent folks left out there willing to stand up for what they believe in. Tell us your stories about how people took the law into their own hands for the greater good of humanity.

The strangest meal you've ever had
I came home from the pub last night and created a culinary masterpiece - chicken bits, salted peanuts, mayonnaise and cold garlic bread all mixed together and eaten with a spoon. It was surprisingly delicious. What interesting concoctions have you created/eaten?

PMS
I've always thought there must be loads of women going bonkers stories every month stories to hear. Possibly could end up with lots of women getting very angry stories. Or women getting tearful stories. Angry then tearful. Angrily tearful. Tearfully angry. Whilst eating chocolate. Crying about eating chocolate. Itchy.
Brilliant!

Some of the money-making schemes in this week's "Get Rich Quick" QOTW are evil. To complement the advice, how about a "Get Karma Quick" QOTW so we can make up for it.

Self pollution
Everyone's had the conversation "Where's the most unusual place you've had sex?" but I've never had the conversation "Where's the most unusual place you've had a wank?".
So where's the most random place you've knocked one out? Did you get caught? If so through 'evidence' or in the act?
Only wankers must apply.

My own experiences entail pretending to to be my nan and and embarrassingly defending her alleged porn usage with a call centre monkey. I never scrubbed so hard.

Polite or subtle insults
Once when staying at a campsite, we lived off the food that was cooked by the cooks. We all thought the food was absolute shit but put up with it. One night, we went to a different place for food. When asked by the campsite people what we thought of the other place, one of us said, "We liked the food".
Have you ever said something that was meant as an insult or criticism that you said in a polite or subtle way? Or have you said something like that without realising it's potential to insult?
