Stupid Things You Do That You Know Are Stupid But You Do Anyway As They Make You Smile For No Explainable Reason. / Social // Drowned In Sound

Stupid things you do that you know are stupid but you do anyway as they make you smile for no explainable reason.

When I worked in Westminster a few years ago I bought a bike and started cycling in. My journey would take me down Whitehall and past Downing Street. When I passed Downing Street one day, almost involuntarily I looked over and whispered under my breath "good morning Mr Brown" (as he was Prime Minister at the time). Absolutely no idea why I did it, but it made me smile for some reason, and because of this I continued to do it.

I then got another job based in another part of London for a couple of years. But i'm now based in Westminster again, and my cycle in once again takes me past Downing Street. Now I say, quietly, to myself, "good morning Mr Cameron" as I go by. It still makes me smile, and I still don't know why.

Hmmm, interesting...

i pronounce stereophonics as Steri-Off-inics

Really silly, and results in me shoehorning a dated and shit banded into conversations, but it really cheers me so whatever.

- I have always pronounce St Pancras...
  
  ...as St Pancreas. Minor self-lols.
  
  However, my missus moved to London two years and straight away picked this up from me as being its actual name (she's from The Channel Islands where, in fairness, they don't even trains let alone stations). I am now having to de-programme her from calling it St Pancreas in polite society.

    - I've got an even wankier one for this
      
      I pronounce "merci beaucoup" as "merci, beau cul" and then shake with suppressed mirth at having said "thanks, nice arse"
      
      I hate myself.

This doesn't make me laugh, but I realised the other day

that when I use a self service machine and pay with my card, I always take the receipt, but when I pay with cash, I just leave it there. I think subconsciously I think the government is spying on me and somehow possessing the receipt will help me?

I'll get my tin-foil hat.
