2003
Well if QOTW is 9 years old perhaps we should turn back the clock and have tales from 9 years ago? What were you like 9 years ago, what were you doing, what are your memories from this time:

Real Life Hacks and Selfishness
I learned how to make the lift (at my previous job) go straight to / from my floor without stopping at any others, used it everyday but never shared how to do it.

I can also fool the thermostat on my Air Conditioning so always have it at the temperature I want while mrs ratbag cant understand why shes always cold.

Do you have any little tricks that let you have your own way all the time?

Recycle!
Because of all the childish bollocks that’s been going on over the last few weeks, I’ve been perusing previous QOTWs and there’s some comedy gold there. Why not start again? First QOTW was in 2003, I’m sure there have been newbies galore since then with their own tales to tell, and as we’re all more aware of how we are apparently destroying this big blue planet, recycling is all the rage!
Recycle, recycle, recycle!!

Just a slightly warped comparison. Why I'd like QOTW to continue.
I was brought up a Catholic, which involved Jesus shoved in your face all day at school, God watching over you as you said your prayers at night and the Holy Ghost checking up on you if you went down to steal biscuits from the cupboard at night. We also got confession, where a priest could clearly see who you were through the grille as you confessed your dirty dirty laundry. Fortunately I was among the Unmolested.

Faith aside, it was somewhat rewarding to tell all your bad secrets and come away having been absolved of all guilt by the means of sharing and admitting being a naughty. So, please continue QoTW as a public service, the b3ta version of Corporate Social Responsibility and let QoTW stand as the confessional of guilty atheist souls who don't get to officially spurt their dirty secrets via a thinly veiled gauze of anonymity and feel all the better because of it.

After all, if we can laugh at their unfortunate tales then God must be wanking a kitten somewhere.

"Share a true and amusing story that happened to you in the last month."
Why does it need a theme?

For example, yesterday we were watching them London sports equestrian events, and realised that the horses should get all the medals because they do the hard work. The jockeys are just like my management; they sit on the back of the workers and take credit for all the hard work when it's going well, but happy to blame us when something goes wrong.

Then we realised that Paralympic Equestrian events should have horses with three legs or less; otherwise they're cheating.

See, stories like that, but funny, would be good.

Your "take away" memory
Douglas Coupland (the author who coined the term 'Generation X') wrote about the concept of a 'take away' memory - the memory that, if you were abducted by aliens, you would take away from Planet Earth.

So - what's yours - the time you had a threesome / birth of a child / beauty of nature / winning QoTW ?

Hypochondria
Thanks to my massive hypochondria, I've had leukaemia, liver disease, AIDS (twice), cancer (too many times to count), and God knows what else. It's even worse now thanks to the Internet, where you can quickly convince yourself you have anything. The most recent episode was a white spot on my tongue which I KNEW was tongue cancer, but turned out to be nothing. So - tell us your tales of hypochondria!

Get off my lawn!
I went to see The Dark Knight Rises a few days ago, and ended up with a teenager sitting next to me. After 15 minutes I was tired of seeing his phone backlight turn on as he texted, so I used the torch feature of mine to put him in a spotlight until he put it away.
