Your M&S
I once smashed a rude customer's meringues when I worked at M&S.

Responsible driving
In contrast to most of the driving-related tales here I prefer to get my kicks obeying the highway code to the letter. (I only passed my test a year ago, so its all still fresh in my memory.)
Particularly high on my list are indicating off roundabouts even when there is absolutely no-one else around (e.g. at 2am or something), stopping at zebra crossings and not moving off til the pedestrian is ALL THE WAY ACROSS, not giving any kind of signals whatsoever to pedestrians waiting to cross lest they misinterpret my signal or another road user does not see my signal and splats the pedestrian into next week, and following the contours of road markings EXACTLY.
And I sometimes wonder why I don't have a girlfriend? Hmmm...

Emotionally...whenever I visit my Nan's grave, it's right next to where all the babies and kids are buried. Not nice.
Physically...last week when I managed to squirt lime juice directly into my left eye whilst preparing a Ken Hom sauce. Thanks Ken.

FAO Occasional Poster
Double jobsworth bonus here - me for posting this, and our trainer for actually saying it.
I used to work for HSBC and in the induction the trainer asked us "so what do you think HSBC stands for?". Obviously a couple of us who actually read the papers etc smugly answered "Hong Kong & Shanghai Banking Corporation". To which our trainer replied "no, it doesn't actually stand for anything".
WTF?! There is a logical explanation somewhere but it was lost in the confusion. I think it did mean that before, but being global nobjocks now they don't want to associate with just a small part of the world. Goons.
Apologies for boringness and pedanticity.
