Terrible ParentingMy parents used to lock my brother, sister and I in the car while they went to the pub for a "quick one" after work. This quick one might last several hours, during which they would send bottles of Indian Tonic Water to us by way of refreshment.
On one particularly cold evening, bored stupid, we lit a small bonfire on the back seat of the car using the cigarette lighter and the contents of the glove box. We owe our lives to passing winos. (BTW: Please no more Maddie or Jesus gags, they've been done.)

Horrid ManagerI once worked with a woman who boasted that as her children hadn't done the washing up or made beds she had forced them to stand in the garden wearing only shorts and t-shirts. It was the middle of a Geordie winter and the temperature was on average -3 and it was snowing. The kids had the last laugh though. They ended up in hospital with pneumonia and she had to waste loads of her holidays visiting them and caring for them when they came out again.
