don't do it with your eyes closed
So, I'd seen that my favourite band was coming to town, and that tickets went on sale at 8am Saturday morning. Obviously I went out and got shitfaced on the Friday, it being Friday and all, but I did remember to set my alarm for the morning.

So Satuday morning and its hangover arrives, and I start to try and call for tickets. I have two numbers to try, but unsurprisingly they're both engaged. So I fall into a rhythm, call one number, hear it's engaged, hang up, try other number etc. Despite my murderous headache, I realised I could do this all in a minimum of button presses using the 'previous numbers dialed' button and just going between the two. A few minutes into this, and feeling a bit worse for wear, I decide I am perfectly able to do this with my eyes shut.

Unfortunately, I wandered over the keypad a bit and accidently rang - my ex-boyfriend. Who I had been studiously avoiding. Who rang me straight back. My hangover paled into insignificance....
