» What's the most horrific thing you've seen?
My big-hearted sister
has always had a soft spot for animals.
One day when she was very young she found a sparrow with a broken wing. She couldn't just walk away and leave the poor thing so she brought it home, applied a splint to the wing, named it Sparky and nursed the little chap back to health.
After a few weeks came the day of release as she judged the wing was now healed. As she was removing Sparky from his cardboard box home she fumbled. Sparky, spotting his chance for freedom, launched himself into the air.... and immediately landed in our open, lit coal fire.
I'll remember her sobs for ever. I, on the other hand, couldn't move for laughing.

I once called my (very religious) boss
and told him I couldn't come in due to demonic posession. He simply asked me when I might be back at work.

Mid 80's....
Just out of school and no intention of looking for work. Unfortunately my father did not approve of this for some reason so decided to apply for jobs on my behalf.
Do you have any F*^$^£G idea how demoralising it is to get rejection letters from companies you never even applied for?

My dope stash
I used to hide it, as a teenager, in a Golden Virginia tin on top of the wardrobe in my bedroom. One day I opened the tin with the intention of rolling a joint and, to my horror, found it empty.
Someone had lifted my stash but it's not exactly the thing you can confront your parents with!
Years later my niece, who was 8 years old at the time of the disappearance, admitted to me she had found my dope and taken it away to 'save me' from myself. She took it to her house and hid it in her bedroom. Where it was subsequently found by her mother (my sister.)
She took the rap for it.
Bless her!

» Dumb things you've done
This is one for the Darwin Awards
Lying in the bath aged 9 or 10. I notice the bulb is missing from the socket above my head. The lightswitch was one of those string things that you pull. Hmmm... was the electricity on or off? There was only one way to be sure - stand up and poke my fingers into the socket!
One blue flash and loud bang later and I had to go have a lie down. :-(
