Software
Or more specifically, when i'm installing software on my laptop, and it has extra stuff (crap) that is pre-selected.

If I want the extra crap, i'll select it. I don't want it installed just because I forget to deselect it.

perfect timing for this question
people that post messages in the qotw saying 'change the question please'

If you don't like the question, then don't participate for that week...it's quite simple

sorry, but it really annoys me when i'm trying to read all the posts and see loads of 'hurry up and change it' posts

» The most cash I've ever carried

Not exactly carried...just handled
I used to work for B&Q (A diy store for those that don't know) on the checkouts. I served a customer one day that had placed an order. Total cost was about 6 and a half grand!!!....and he paid cash!!!...in 20's!!!!

We were supposed to check all notes under a UV light for forgeries. There was no way I was going to check all of those (it was about 15 minutes before closing). They also had this stupid rule about making sure that the notes were the right way up when put into the till with the queens head on the front. Stuff that....it would have taken me all night.

I just counted it to make sure it was all there...took ages....miscounted three times and had to start again...lol...and stuffed it in the till and gave the customer his change.

In case you're wondering....I did get ideas while I was there...I never did anything though...i'm too honest.

Now I think of it..I should have...bastards sacked me anyway for discount card fraud...which wasn't my fault.

I was also once pushing the floats from the tills down to the cash office after we had closed so a manager could put them in the safe.

Got to the cash office....just outside it....and one of the floats tipped over...spilling over £200 in change onto the floor...oops...took ages to pick up.

I need to go to the hospital...my cherry just popped and it's bleeding.

Accidental Innuendo
I know i'm too late for the innuendo question by about 24 hours, but I had to post this somwhere as i've just remembered it:

My dad was speaking to me the other day, about my aunt having to go to a jewellers to get my uncles ring fixed (ooh really matron).

The childish mind that i've got, I immediately burst into uncontrollable laughter for about 3 hours.

» Your first cigarette

Thought my head was going to explode
My first ever fag was when I was at high school.

A friend got me to try it. He gave me one from his pack right before we left school for the day. I kept it cupped in my hand so no teachers would see it.

We went out the back entrance and, once we were far enough away from the school, he gave me his lighter.

I lit up, took my first ever toke, and immediately felt ill. I had to sit down on someone's wall, as I would have fallen over if I hadn't, and I dropped the lit ciggy in the plastic bag that had my P.E kit in. Took ages to get it out.

I think I still smoked the rest of it though.

I took up smoking for a while after that, but never really got addicted for some reason.

Gave up two years later, only smoked once since then, felt really sick afterwards. I was in a nightclub with my cousin.

We ended up leaving early due to me feeling like crap after the fag. Haven't smoked ever again, and don't intend to either.
