h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I can beat your ATM story.... I got my money and went to get my card, but it wasn't there! The machine must've swallowed it! So I went into the bank, got them to check the machine and everything, nothing. I said "well it's disappeared in there somewhere!" They checked again, nothing, nor anything on their computers to say it had been retained...
then they asked me to check in my wallet......
... and of course, there it was, I'd put it away before getting my cash without even thinking about it...

Q

I once pushed the buttons to get £20 quid out, took my card and put it in my wallet, and then walked away. I got to the corner and realised I hadnt picked up me cash. So I rushed back (I could see no-one had been near the cash point) and the machine had taken back the money. So then I had to phone the bank and tell them how Id walked away from my money...

I *always* pick my money!

Oh no!

Embarassment- ok, here comes:
I sing to myself - out loud. ALL THE TIME!

You realize you're in trouble, don't you?

I do that too! Some of the time I'm rehearsing (on the way to work is an odd time to do it, but never mind), but often I'm just singing away to myself, getting odd looks from passers-by...

David

singing is nothing...now making a running comentry on two busses that seem to be racing eachother thats embarising

How so?

And isn't waiting for me in the wrong bus stop embarassing too, dear?

I often mutter to myself walking alone. I dont know why, but Ill be thinking and some of the thoughts will vocalise. This happened the other night when a mate jumped out from behind a car to try to surprise me. I think he was the one who was surprised.

I do that too. It seems quite common. I just had a customer on the phone, which given her accent I couldn't understand. After ending the conversation I said to myself "I couldn't understand a word she said..."

I'd like to revive this thread, but I can't think of anthing embarassing to add to it...

And I'm afraid I've done nothing else embarrasing of note since the 'nose incident' of last year

Hmmm. Nothing that embarrassed *me*... though I think I have embarrased other people a couple of times.

Unlike me, I know...

Well there was Friday! though that doens't count as embarrassing to me,

*jumps*

*thinks*

*whispers* (did I embarass myself?)

*thinks*

*runs*



B

No, not at all, not as much the others anyway

Though we did scare the neighbours!



B

Well yes, I haven't seen them out on their roof recently..
