Housemates
Well I have a lot of 'housemates' living on a cruise ship. Whilst not being able to get away from someone for six months may seem like a bad thing, most people are really easy to get on with.

However as usual there are the few exceptions. J was self-assessed bi-polar, which was his excuse for a lot of the trouble he caused everyone else. Not turning up for work and generally being abusive to anyone around were the normal.

J used to get horrendously drunk late at night and would pass out in various places - crew bar, his cabin, someone elses cabin. Usually when this occurred phones would go mental as 'J Buckaroo' was announced. Anything was used, even at one point we managed to balance a full pint on his head.

To this day he still doesnt know about it, or at least pretends he doesnt...

Length? He did a 9 month stint onboard

Phone frenzy
Not me but my friend.

One day he received a text from someone he didnt know, so as you do, replyed to find out who it was. Turned out to be a girl of a similar age from the otherside of the country he met once on holiday. Both my friend and I thought it would be a laugh to keep texting, keeping it clean and friendly.

This went on for about 3 months then the phon calls started. However they always happened just as we walked into one particular pub. Then we would have 20-30mins of crying down the phone about how she couldnt stand livin in the home and how he parents hated her. At first his was amusing and we took the piss a bit, then she started threatening to kill herself and we kept hanging up. After a couple of weeks of this we threatened her with the police, and this kept her off for a few weeks.

Then it restarted, texts and calls. Eventually I took a call and screamed down te phone that my friend had killed himself and I was on the way to the funeral and would she kindly sod off. Mot heard from here again...touch wood.

Oops, length almost as long as the timeframe

Sent home from school
As it was a Church of England school. For the simple reason that on a non-uniform day both my friend and I wore a tshirt with the logo of a band on it. Unfortunately the band was Bad Religion and it didnt go down well with the authorities at the school.

College
Working as a tech in a college I get the standard 'forgot my password' problem. So I change it to a temporary easy one and tell them they will be asked to change it at next log in. Cue them coming back and complaing it wont work and all they get is an error message...saying please change password. There is a button on the log in window that says 'change password'
