» Accidental innuendo

My little brother once asked me for advice on a mobile phone
He wanted to know what I thought of Sony Erections.

He was only 12 at the time, bless.

Accidental? My flatmate cheerfully informs me that he was probably wanking furiously all the time at that age hence erections being on the mind - I choose to ignore it.

*blissful ignorance*

» Dumb things you've done

Electric car windows and fingers
You know how lifts have these sensors to stop the doors shutting on you and slicing you in half*?

Electric car windows most certainly do not have said sensors and will munch fingers with a vengeance.

*actual amount of slicing in half may vary

» Amazing displays of ignorance

In a similar vein to the ausfahrt post a few pages back
www.b3ta.com/questions/stupidity/post670402

While cute in its 'teehee they say FART' way - my ex took it beyond stupidity by pretending every single time we drove on the highway that he was only *just* discovering that it means 'exit'.

"Ooh, I wonder why there are so many signs for Ausfahrt, perhaps we should go there! Hur hur hur, I'm so funny" gets repetitive after the first few times, but alas, I was smitten and willing to gloss over this first sign of his being utterly willing to feign ignorance to garner attention...

Length? About 200km worth of signs on the A31 to Dusseldorf..

» My most gullible moment

I'm not very good at maintaining a straight face while setting someone up...
...but I did convince my brother when he was a wee little pineapplesibling that the bridge connecting north and south Perth was lit up across the whole span to prevent low flying planes from colliding with it as they ferry people along the river.

A fact that he proudly related to his school mates as "100% fact, my sister told me and she's an engineer".

He doesn't trust me anymore :-( (with good reason)

» Road Rage

My road rage story, by pineappleunderthesea.
A couple of years ago when I was on my Ps I was driving along the horror that is the highway which passes by several private schools in Perth during the after school rush. Mum in 4wd (need I say more about their driving?) screeches to a halt 10 odd metres early at the lights, and me while thinking wtf, why is she stopping so early, likewise slams on brakes. No impact, nothing, and I don't think our cars even touched. But two weeks later a police report arrives in the mail claiming that I damaged her vehicle, drove off ignoring her signal to pull over and a claim for $1000 to fix her bumper.

Not quite road rage, but there was quite a bit of rage involved when the report arrived before I calmed down and devised my grand master plan to screw her over.

My reply: "I didn't hit her, she was driving erratically and I didn't know that she wanted me to stop, I thought she was making threatening gestures so I didn't feel comfortable pulling over :( " (in a sincere teary vulnerable girl voice) plus showing the car, with nary a scratch to Mr Nice Policeman equalled a nice fine for her for filing a frivolous report.

No length apart from that of the story told here, but I've never had a rupturing like I just had in my whole life :( The first time shore do hurt.
