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.)

Terrible things that animals have done to you.
Not just bitey doggies. Animals who have performed premeditated transgressions against you physically, and psychologically. Acts of malfeasance by excruciatingly cute animals, would be especially sought, mainly because the cuteness makes it all the more unexpected and sinister.

Cringe.
Do you occasionally look back at events in your life and have a little shudder at how you used to be? Remembering the time you tried to dress up as a 10-year old superhero with your pants outside your trousers? Or perhaps making a drunken fool of yourself in front of a teen heartthrob? Or have you witnessed something that made you feel bad on behalf of some poor oblivious fool? Spill the beans.

Ever lost/broken something and had to make do...
Did you take something for granted, only to miss it when it was gone?
Did you break something through sheer petulance, in a fit of pique?
Did the loss make you think about your actions?
Did you discover alternatives you never thought to use?
No, not talking about losing virginity, which may open a
psychological (or physical...errrrgh) can of worms for boarding school folk.

The Butterfly effect
Years ago I was watching something on the telly and got a bit bored so i turned over an caught a snippet of a song that Id never heard before but really enjoyed. Years later I ended up doing some work with the singer of the band after they split up which turned out to be one of the best times of my life and all I could put it down to was turning the channel over at that precise moment all those years earlier.
Tell us about something that seemed insignificant years ago but actually had repercussions both good or bad months/years later.

Car accidents you've been in or witnessed
I was once arguing with my brother over the cassette player when he lost control of the Datsun. The car spun around, left the road and went airborne backways into a bramble-choked creek.
Let's return QOTW to form with topic almost every bugger has an anecdote about.

What have you been up to for the last week?
With no QOTW to read,'troll' or flounce, I assume some of you have ventured into the real world. Did anything amusing happen? Did you have real sex? Did you kill a man with a Honda Accord, while a bevy of supermodels sexed you up? Please, do tell.

In view of how all
the troll-ey fuckwits have carried on here and in /OT - keep qotw closed for a little while longer.
I'd reopen it in a few months time under the /troll-bait banner.

Last week was tantrums...
Looks like this week is 'Sulks' - have you ever taken your football home and spoiled the fun? Are you sitting in the office with a scowl while everyone is dressed in Olympic themed-costumes?
If so, don't bother posting your story, because WE'RE NOT WORTH IT.
