It's the little things...
As anyone who sat through the terrible 'Butterfly Effect' movie knows, the smallest detail can make a huge difference.

Let's hear your stories of when the little things made, or ruined, your day.

Mistaken moments
Following a drunken night out I had a meatball Subway. Only, one of the meatballs must have dropped out whilst I was eating it.

The next morning I saw the meatball on the floor, assumed I'd had a horrific drunken accident, and had to rip off my boxers to ensure my balls were still in place. They were, thank god.

What stupid mistakes have you briefly made?

The moment of revelation
Tell us of the moment that you stopped believing in God, Allah etc; or the moment that your religion was 'confirmed' to you.

How about....
...a QOTW (or even more than one) that:

* is interesting to read, i.e. we won't get bored of reading the answers after about 10 of them
* has not been asked on this site before
* is fun to answer

?

Seriously, they're getting a bit shit, only without the 'a bit' part. There's loads of good ideas here, so why are repost-fests or just plain old wank being selected instead?

Stories in the Skies
We've had a QOTW about airports. But what about some tales from the top of the world?

Did you join the mile high club?
Did you have any weired passengers or crew?
Did they show Final Destination as an inflight movie?
Did your plane crash?

Share your in-flight experiences!

Outside your house
In the olden days I used to have a different burnt out stolen car outside every other night, random drunks fighting, people pissing on our front door, someone thinking our flat was a charity shop (WTF?). What is the weirdest head-fuck thing you've seen outside your abode?

Scars
I've a massive scar down the side of my leg. It happened after I got bitten by a deer tick that then buried under my skin and laid its eggs which all burst through some weeks later. Ya the ladies love it.

I am thick
I once rang directory enquiries using my mobile:
Operator: "Name?"
Me: "Stopmeandslapme"
Operator: "Address?"
Me: "My address"

I rang my own house.

I thought they wanted to know who was making the enquiry or something...

What are the thickest things you've done?

Worst moviegoing experience
Everyone's got a story about the time they went to the cinema and had to deal with a crowd of chavs, incessant cell phones, or the local homeless drunk pissing himself in the next seat over.

What's the worst moviegoing experience you've ever had?

Erotic fan fiction
Ever since reading those Kriss Akabusi sex stories I've been trying to think of a few of my own; sometimes involving Anne Widdecombe and Jack Straw.

Pick a mundane subject to write some (wrong) erotic fan fiction.

Getting from A to B
I can't drive. There's been many occasions when getting from A to B has thrown up weirdness. Like the time I hitchhiked from Edinburgh to London and had to pretend to be German all the way because the lorry driver hated the English so much and would've tossed me out the cab otherwise.

What are your experiences of getting from A to B ?

Hold down the zero key.
Keep it held down until a number of zeros appear. Make one line or several. See if you can produce an interesting number of zeros. For added hilarity, scatter a few spaces within.

The masterpiece that never quite was
Mine was an entirely animated 70s cop show starring a sexy blonde detective and her sexy ginger midget partner. It would have been set in southern California and the theme tune would have been "Sin City" by AC/DC. The bad guy was using his lucrative Swiss chocolate import/export business as a front for his crimely goings-on, and two of his henchmen were mimes. I got as far as drawing the characters before losing interest.

What was your screenplay, novel, TV series etc that never quite made it to fruition?

Puppieh vs Kittum
Right! This *must* be a winning formula!

As a nation of animal lovers (mainly, but not always, in the platonic sense only) we are known to melt in the merest presence of a cute Puppieh or Kittum. Tell me your "tails" (I'm so, so sorry) of High Cuteness and we, your peers, shall adjudge which is the cutest aminal.

That was the bad thing
We've all woken up after a few too many with a certain amount of confusion and worry about the nights events. The memories often hit you much later in the day in a "Oh fuck, I did X. Fuck. Fuckety fuck." kind of way.

What evil deeds did your mind hide from you just so that it could hit you in the knackers with them later?

On my very first trip to Amsterdam.....
....I walked out of the airport and took a taxi to the city centre. I walked onto the main plaza and saw a dead body covered with a white sheet, smeared in blood, the armed response unit crawling the area and a TV crew filmed me, tried to interview me and broadcast it on Dutch TV. Turns out, within one hour, I'd walked straight into the aftermath of a violent diamond heist.

Have you ever walked in on something you shouldn't have?

Worst Gig Ever
On Thursday, I went to see The Cure at the 02.

The most souless, sterile, expensive, middle class wanker-dome I have ever had the misfortune to visit.

Then the sound was awful, the view appalling and Robert Smith phoned it in anyway.

Sadly, it's far from the worst gig I've ever been to, but I'll save that on the off chance this gets picked up.

The Ultimate Non-Story
Let's just cut to the chase -- for this QotW, everyone picks a previous topic for their subject and their answer can only be a non-story, consisting either of a thinly-disguised plot from a movie/book/tv show/similar or a terrible pun. After all, some of you are just made for this moment.

My cousin just sent me a message saying that the person in front of her just dropped dead when shopping at the till. She said she felt bad though as she'd just bought a 'bag for life'.

What the most ironic thing that's ever happened to you?
