Well, that taught 'emSammi Evil Nice writes "I shared with two students, and it was always the same; whenever it was near to paytime, my milk *and only this* would disappear.
One of them, John, was a lovely bloke but allergic to nuts. John makes tea. Soon after, John starts swelling up.
ME: Runs, administers epi-pen. "You're going into anaphalactic shock."
HIM: "How do you know?"
ME: "I put almond oil in my milk."
What have you done to teach somebody a lesson?

Definetly DarwinianI've just recalled this one....
A bit after the hammer/nail/thumb incident, I decided to do some more DIY - I've had my "accident" so now I'm safe....
Or so I thought.
I needed to remove some cable tacks that were holding the phone wire back - No big deal - They had to come off, the wall painted and new ones put it. It's not rocket science dammit.
Anyway, I proceeded to remove them.
Now, directly below one of them (about halfway up the wall) is a socket.
You might see where this is going....
I touched the one above the socket - the metal bit.
"Bastard, that hurt"
That's right, some moron (not me) had put it through the live wire - how it hadn't shorted out the house, I don't know.
"Well, that's just daft." Thought I - "There's a lesson here"
"I'd better turn off the electricity and carefully remove the cable tack" - Is what I SHOULD have thought/done.
What I did think was "Did that really happen? I'd better touch it again"
"OUCH!" (Followed by much swearing).
That really bastard hurt. I know, I'll touch it again.
"F***, etc"
Yes, that's right I touched it twice, then held on a bit the third time just to check for actual pain. Of which there was a lot.
I was going to get off the ladder, but I realised that I was actually now lying on the ground - "Now, how did I get down here?".....
I turned the mains off at this point and was a LOT more careful the 4th time.
Honest.
The lesson is - I'm shouldn't be allowed out of that padded room....
