Something you do reasonably regularly that makes you a bit of a bad person

dove_from_above [Edit] [Delete] 114 replies 14:54, 16 August '07

On Monday I realised that, for the past couple of months, I have been putting perfectly good cutlery in the bin

Let me break it down for y'all

In my work canteen the sink is waaaaaaaaay over the other side to where I sit when I eat my lunch (it's a big canteen, as the place employs about 2,500 people). Rather than walking all the way down to the sink (70 yeards or so) to drop off my fork, I've realised that I'm slyly (sp?) slipping it into the bin along with my empty plastic pasta pot. I must've binned about twelve perfectly good forks in recent months, purely because I'm a lazy shit

Somebody enlighten me with similar tales of scandal

  • On Sunday night, I skipped the train home

    This is only the second time in my life that I've ever not paid for a train journey. I was a bit drunk, and very skint, and I decided to wing it.

    Dear WhoeverRunsThatTrainWhatIGot: Sorry, I owe you £2.10.

      I didn't pay the tram conductor in Nottingham last weekend.

      Although the fare was only £1.40, so I'm only 66.6% as evil as Bamos.

    But I can't guarantee it. I'm fairly sure that it'll get to 1.59pm next Monday and I'll approach the bin, look up and assess the distance to the sink before casually glancing around as I drop the fork down into the trashy abyss

                              are some kids around my way that have started knocking the door and ringing the bell, and then running away. It can be a bit annoying when trying to get a 3 month old to sleep.

                              So I've taken to knocking over every kid that I see within half a mile of my house, either clipping them with the car or stopping to get out and push them over. If they happen to have any sweets on them or anything, then I just take them. I'm not proud of it, but they do keep ringing the doorbell

                              • Losing my temper at spelling and grammar errors

                                particularly in work.

                                I went into work yesterday:

                                Dave: 'Hi Andy.'

                                Me: (glancing at TV screen): 'Oh, hi Dave, how are... what the FUCK is that spelling mistake on the ticker? Fuck me, there's another one! I don't know WHY I bother working here! I'm off to the gallery to shout at the text producer." *dashes downstairs on mission*

                                Dave "...."

                                I keep my small change and then take it to the bank to annoy the cashiers. I had £35 last time.

                              • You throw away money?

                                I love you like a son, but I find that quite outrageous

                                Just stick it in a pot/empty Dolmio jar

                              • I found an old handbag

                                full of coppers and old tobacco and rubbish, and I didn't want to put my fingers in to pull coppers out just to sit around forever. So I emptied it all into the bin. I felt guilty about it for at least 4 seconds. And then maybe another second when I was reminded of it then.

                              but I used to unscrew the lids of salt and pepper pots in restaurants

                            • Plotting revenge

                              upon my letting agency...

                            • Someone pranked me about 6 months ago,

                              from the rival gang.

                              They forgot to with-hold.

                              And so, whenever I find myself up at stupid times, on stupid days, I ring them up and try waking them. I've done it a lot this week since I've been off, and its very enjoyable hearing: "oooooh.... Hello?"

                              HAHAH.
