procrastination/lazy people take the greatest pains
i nearly broke my neck last night tripping over the hoover in the hall that i still haven't managed to tip since the builders broke it. i tripped over it because the first light has gone in the long hallway so it was dark. and i haven't replaced the bulbs because the ceilings are about 20' high. it seems that i am apparently waiting until every single bulb in the flat dies so that then i have no choice but to hire someone with a ladder to come and replace them all (yes i could buy a ladder, but then where the fuck would i keep one that is long enough??).

i have also nearly broken my shoulder falling on it off the sofa from trying to reach the tv remote because i was too bone idle to get up and retrieve it.

how have you made your life harder through sheer laziness???

Regretful hand-to-glad moments, whether location, material at hand ie: dodgy midget scat mag or horse threesomes website, or disgusting wank bank memories.

Betrayals
Have you been betrayed by someone? a lover, friend or tradesman? My neighbours gave a trusted person some money to get their cat neutered while they were on holiday. They never got the money back so that works out as fifteen quid a kitten.

Food
I recently made the mistake of inviting someone to a posh restaurant - the mistake was that my guest wouldn't eat 'anything which looks at me, any meat which is even slightly pink and anything with wibbly bits.' So much for the scallops (wibbly), trout (looks at me) and lamb (pink).

What food-fads have you come across?

Genuine examples of corporate bollocks
Do you have a job ? Do your employers have an HR department ? Do they regularly send round circulars press releases and other dross full of meaningless buzz-words, contrived acronyms, and aspirational racoon-jizz ignoring the fact that they are working you like a bastard to no great reward ?

Genuine cut and pastes of corporate motivational rhino-spew, replacing the company name with "Cuntco Inc." to avoid libel.

Overreaction
as I have just told off topic in tedious detail, my 7 month old son pulled hot chocolate over himself yesterday in a cafe - had this happened at home, he'd have been held under a cold tap, then calpol-ed up, before I cleaned up the mess.

As it happened in public, no less than 4 police officers and an ambulance were called, along with every first aider within a 2 mile radius. For what amounted to a bit of hot chocolate staining his trousers and no visible wounds. One of the police officers photographed the table from all angles and called it a 'crime scene'.

when did you last encounter a massive overreaction?

Injuries caused by unlikely objects
We've all heard the stats of people being killed getting out of bed and have wondered how the hell that happened. Well tonight I injured my foot with a bra. "Impossible" I hear you cry. My bra was on the floor and I managed to stand on it in such a way that the little plastic bit that regulates how long the straps are dug into my heel in such a way that caused immense pain and the formation of a pea sized blood blister under the rather thick skin of the bottom of my heel. I now have to walk on my tippy toes because it hurts so much to stand on it and am thinking about going to the minor injuries unit tomorrow to have it drained. I'm sure there are many of you out there who have also been injured in improbable ways by everyday objects.

Misheard lyrics
A friend once beckoned me to listen to 'Message in a bottle' by Sting and the Police. He thought one particular lyric was 'out of place' and wondered why he was singing "a year has passed since I broke my knob".

What's the funniest lyric you or a friend have misheard?

Inappropriate (but true)
A chap I used to work with, who was a one-man simmering couldron of rage, was silenced in our office by the new girl (on her first day, no less) who told him he was "clearly the person who was in most desperate need of a good blow job..."

She was right, but it did nothing to improve his mood.

So when have you lost that brain-mouth filter and let fly with what you knew everyone else was thinking, but frankly, never should have been articulated.

Caught red-handed
A few months into our teenage relationship, we began to get somewhat amorous on her kitchen floor. (The future) Mrs Sandettie slipped a leg out of her jeans and we made like the beast with two backs. However, her dad walked in.

How have you been caught red-handed? Be it scrumping for apples or found standing over your partner with a meat cleaver as they lay on the floor in a growing pool of claret.

Best not to elaborate...
'I had sex with my girlfriend last week and she's been walking funny ever since.' this is a boastful statement typical of pub chat nationwide. Adding 'yeah, she got a carpet burn on her foot and now can't wear shoes' makes you seem like an inept shag...

Pranks on the new guy/girl
It's fun to mess with the presumably naive new person: snipe hunts, going to the hardware store for a long weight (long wait) or spirit level bubble.

I got caught as a (23-year veteran) reporter by two parks employees that swore months ago that they weren't related despite the same last name. And yesterday I wrote a story about this father/son duo. Tonight, they proudly displayed the article that says they're not related at a parks board meeting.

Tell us your story about messing with the new person.
