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.)

Questions You'll never ask
I've always wondered if dentists feel inadequate after asking women to "open as wide as you can" all day, then going home and telling their OH to open part way.
I will never ask my dentist this though.

Ditto
This may sound bad, but has happened to me:
Her: "I have been thinking about where this relationship is going"
Meaning: The three hour documentary about Spitfires which you've just sat down to watch will shortly be turned off. Anything you say will be wrong and subsequently brought up on conversation and used against you for the entire duration of this relationship. You'll also be expected to supply dinner/flowers/cuddly toys/babies etc as required.

Spot on Monsieur Spencer!
Her: "Shall we go and choose some material for the curtains?" = If you ever want to watch the rugby in peace again you'd better say 'yes' and come quietly.
Him: "Yeah OK, that sounds good, how about nice and early Saturday?" = Fucksocks, she's got me by the balls yet again.
or...
Him: "What would you like for your birthday?" = For the love of Christ tell me what you want now so that I can write myself a note, buy somthing you want and give it to you on the right day
Her: "Oh, I don't know, just get me anything?" = That'll show you, you bastard. Trying to get me something I want so that I can't be disappointed? Hah!

Annoying habits
What are your annoying habits? What are your partner's annoying habits?
Apparantly, one of my (many) most annoying habits is "eating too loudly", oh yes, and "picking my teeth".
Whereas Mme Zola's most annoying habit is constantly interrupting me when I am reading and "not being able to relax while the house is in a mess" this means, that I'm not allowed to relax either, until the place has been cleaned or I'm made to feel guilty that I'm lying about watching France win the 6 six nations while she is ironing...I've just about developed the ability to ignore her deep sighs and enjoy myself never the less.

What men / women say and what they really mean.
Women: Are you thirsty? = Make me a cup of tea.

Etc.

How about a QOTW
that will bring out the funniest stories, even if it's a repeat.
ie: work stories, customer/celebrity encounters, pranks, insane neighbors and so on.

Little things that cause a big annoyance.
Today in the office i happened to notice the amount of people who would eat their lunch at their desks. Even people would go to the canteen and bring back a full plate of hot food and eat it at their desks. I mean why? its lunch time, youre not getting apid for it and wouldnt it be nice to eat dinner in peace without the phone ringing, emails coming in and people coming up to you just as youve rammed your mouth with a cornish pasty. Why do people do this? Its sooo annoying, get a life!
So i was figuring, what little things really annoy you a lot?

first impressions
I was out on the lash with some friends one night and we were making our way to a club. They went on ahead while I stopped to get some cash, and when I caught up with them outside the club I saw them chatting to my mate Paul. Being in a bit of a state I ran up to him, picked him up and carried him around for a bit...you know, friendly like. After a while I decided I should say hello properly, so I put him down, looked at him...
...and that was the first time I met Paul's brother Steven.
What's the worst first impression you've made?

Siblings! (yes that's your brothers and sisters!)
Me and my brother used to be as thick as theives when we were kids and broke the law and more than several occasions, setting fire to whole fields, burning neighbours hedges down, stealing from the local shop. Then when we got past the early teens there was driving without licenses, stealing from the cement factory, crashing cars, drugs, fights etc...
But as siblings there was always that code of silence that you were in it together!!! Well unless your parents had you bang to rights and cornered, then it was every sibling for themselves.
What things did you used to get up to with you siblings, that really your parents didn't ought to know about?
I'm sure this topic will also be perfect for frankspencer! ;-)

conversation killers
As mentioned in a previous QOTW, I went to boarding school.One favourite activity that didn't include cocks was staying up dead late secretly and talking for ages on end.
On one such night, with everyone really tired and talking about the already fascinating subject of football shirts, on of my mates piped up with "my dad bought a blue shirt once". Yes. that was it.
*tumbleweed*
we all went to bed after collapsing into fits of laughter

petty petty petty
My ex-housemate once had a rant at me for going to the pub for six hours on a sunday afternoon and forgetting to turn my bedroom light off. She said it was "an awful waste". I checked the bill and at the rate they charge us it probably cost about 3p. I was especially amused by the fact that she left it on to prove a point rather than just, say, turning it off herself.
What's the pettiest thing anyone's heard anyone complain about, or has complained about themselves?

Useless children
List all the bizarre, rude, inconsiderate, selfish, and suicidally idiotic things your children have done. And all this despite the sensible rules and guidelines you laid down.
This would be only fair given the response to last weeks Strict Parents question. All respondee's to that previous question must contact their parents to ensure right of reply.

Small Ads
I recently joined an internet dating agency because I am both sad and lonely.
It says all the usual - I like films, I like the internet *belms*
But I'd be interested to know your dating ad. In fact, I'll pay to put the best one on and see how many replies it gets.
Probably more than mine.

WIERD EX GIRL/BOYFRIENDS
My friends thought i needed setting up with a girl and it was the worst year of my life
And this girl was the most paranoid woman you could ever imagine, even if I stared at another woman on TV she would kick off, and for these reason I never dumped her as I never thought I would have enough tissues to stop her never ending tear ducts
She still thinks im with her but i went the shops to get some milk over 2 1/2 years ago

My worst piss
Not sure if this has been done before or asked in this qotw. I really can't be arsed to go and read through 86 pages to check!
Anyway, I got thinking of the subject of my worst piss after a trip to dorset late last year.
I was walking the purbeck coastline, which meanders up and down loads of little coves (and goes on for miles).
Now, when it's windy, these coves are turned into funnels for the wind.
Take a stromy day and it's hard to stand up in one of them. The wind whips around in them, so it's hard to get any sheilding as it seems to come from everywhere.
Now, take one evilmeister and several pints of scrumpy. He decided it would be nice to do a quick 5 mile hike along the coast.
Throw in a stormy day and you know it's a recipe for disaster.
I decided to take a piss at the bottom of one of these coves. I'd needed a piss for about an hour and had been on the lookout for shelter. As none was forthcoming, I reasoned that the best place to do it was at the bottom of the cove, facing away from the wind.
I was having a real job just standing up, so I figured that the piss would just catch on the wind and fly away from me.
I unzipped, pulled out Mr Winkie and let fly with my glorious stream of golden sunshine.
At this point I learned about the way wind moves in a confined space. Instead of flying away from me, my piss turned around and became a 'piss cloud'. It flew straight back at me, drenching me from head to foot. I even got some in my mouth.
But such was the need to piss, that I couldn't stop. I tried spinning round, to get out the way of the piss cloud, but the more I pissed, the bigger it became.
I was soaked.
The strange thing was, my girlfriend had already started to climb up the next part of the path, so she hadn't seen what happened.
I dried myself down as best as I could and (till this day) have never told a soul about it.
For my shame, I offer this to you.

You want to do what with my what?
I read a book called "The Encyclopedia of Unusual Sex Practices" and could not believe what some people need to float their boat. I have personally been asked by a complete stranger in the street if I would remove my shoes and let him smell my feet. What is the strangest run in with a real life fetishist you have had?
