Running awayTwo friends ran away from boarding school. They didn't get too far though - they forgot to check when the last train ran. A teacher found them sitting waiting and drove them back again.
That said, it's not just a thing kids do - the urge to just run is built into all of us. Tell us about the times you've given in and run.

Phantom meetingHaving blagged the job interview I was suitably pleased to have a respectable IT job, until 1 day I was asked to do something I had fibbed about on my CV. Turns out it had to be done that day so I quickly got on Outlook and setup up a series of fictional meetings back to back for the day... Then I ran!
I rushed down the stairs and accross the car park determined to escape before too many people spotted I'd even been at work.
I went to the cinema and watched the sequel to the Matrix, then I went home and worked on my classic Mk1 Astra GTE. When it was about 20 mins before the end of the working day I went back looking tired. Apologised I hadn't had time to help and admired the efforts of the rest of the team. :)
See, running away from responsibility can be good!
