Spying Fish
I used to work for Screwfix Direct on the inbound ordering line. It was a nice easy job and I cannot remember a bad customer. All I had to do was to enter the reference number, confirm what the item was and ask for the quantity. Good job for a burnt-out engineering student.
The company used an electoral-roll style of address lookup, all you had to do was enter the address and it would populate the name of the owner/voters registered at the place. One day, a very pleasant sounding lady rang up and asked to register as a customer. I asked for her address first and said "Oh is that Catherine?". She sounded very shocked and asked me how i knew. I was feeling rather cheeky (and a bit strange) and said
"Well, I am not really supposed to tell you. However, I do have a magical flying fish that travels down phonelines. He looked over your shoulder and saw a letter with your name on."
About 1 minute passed by in silence then the customer laughed her head off.
She asked for his name and said that she wanted to speak to him. To which I broke out in laughter and said that it was Bob and that he was hiding behind the monitor in a bad mood due to his secret being let out.
Such a nice lady and she wished Bob a nice day at the end of the call.

I am a Traffic Warden.
:(
My old job was made redundant and I have not found anything to replace it yet.
The good parts are that I get paid to walk around the lovely parts of Cambridge and give directions to lost German Tourists.
The bad parts are that I cant play Rugby anymore and that Traffic Wardens dont go to Heaven.
:(

I am a real bastard. And thank you, B3ta, for making me realise
Aged 8: I make a catapult out of an old sofa and smash one of the windows in a greenhouse four houses down from our garden.
Aged 10: Destroyed my dad's collection of toy cars. They were not collectors items, just an assortment that he had kept in a toybox and handed to me. I smashed them up with a hammer. (Why, I dont know. I love my dad and thank him for all the work he has put into my life)
Aged 12: Found an box of old LPs on waste land and spent the next 10 mins chucking at a wall whilst singing "Record Breakers".
Aged 23: Pissed on my flatmates' pillows whilst he was away for easter.
