LEAVING PRESENT? NO THANKS
We worked with a guy who would always say yes for a coffee from the cafeteria, so long as someone else was buying. He never offered to buy anyone a drink. When he left, we all threw in to buy him a coffee machine, which he opened in front of about 30 of us. "Oh, I don't drink coffee" he said. " I only drank them because they were free." Scab.

» Phobias

aarrghhh!
Where to start?
Remote controls not lined up (*shudder*)
The slimey seed bit in tomatoes (*biting my tongue now*)
Jelly - ergh! especially seeing it wobble or cold chicken with the jelly jammed in (*breathe, breathe, shudder - argh!*)
Being touched around the wrists (*breaking into a mild sweat now*)
Dog-eared pages (enough said)
People sniffing (and even worse, wiping their nose on their hand - blergh). Get a bloody tissue and stop being a pig!
Hair sticking out of moles on people's face/neck. No excuse.

Valium please.

Terrible Parenting
An ex-friend of mine had this father who was as rough as hell ie bare knuckle fighting champion etc etc. He never did like either of his sons and this was highlighted when he put my ex-friend (his eldest son) in the fireplace when he was about 15 months old - while it was blazing a fire. The quick actions of his mother hearing his screams were the only thing that saved him.

My Aunty (again)
... was pissed up and decided to clean the windows. She fell off the ladder and down three flights of stairs. 35 years of daily agony later and the windows weren't even hers.

My Aunty
... took someone's baby home from the hospital. However, she did return it hours later, as her husband insisted.
