I will never learn

17 Nov 2005

despite having reached the ripe old age of 41 there are still things which I seem to be completely incapable of not doing even though I know it will cause me grief or pain :shock:
for example I know damn well that an oven is a hot place and that if i put my hand in it and touch the baking tray it will burn :cry:
so why do I do it every week confused

:
I am aware also that irons are hot yet i still test the temperature by touching the base in some vain belief that I will remove my finger prior to the removal of my fingerprint rolleyes

not on your nelly
And finally..................Zips.............. rolleyes

Ouch ouch ouch bloody ouch :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:

I'am always putting my mobile phone in the recess of the dashboard of my car(just by the speedo and tachometer) and on deciding I need it i put my hand through the steering wheel to get it, this is normally just after I've turned a corner and the wheel is returning to its central position arhhhhhhhhhh :shock: . I've being do this for years, you'd think I'd learnt by now. Proberly take me to end up in a ditch before it finally sinks in!!!!!! redface

I think we get worse as we get older!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11

Always check my pockets for wallet, phone, fags and lighter - but never keys - must lock myslef out about once a week - really annoying I cant ever remember - neighbours with the spare set getting very irritated!!

I do that one too! Well more that I get something from one shelf (sensibly using the oven cloth), but constantly catch the back of my hand or wrist on an upper shelf!
Also I am forever walking too close to a door whan I walk through a doorway and catch my arms on the door latches - seem never to be without a bruise on my arm.
And DESK CORNERS!!! - god they hurt - I catch my thighs on those at least once a day when I'm in the office!

And also, if i see a wet paint sign i just got to touch it , to see if it is wet, and it usually is biggrin

Well not to sure if I should post this as it was a tad embarrassing, but â€¦â€¦.
A number of years ago when I was an apprentice electrician I was working in a large M&S store.
There I was, with the gaffer installing extra power in a room with no windows. Obviously bored with this I started to look around and saw a little red button. As a stared at it, it looked back â€œpress me press meâ€ it was saying â€“ â€œgo on you know you want toâ€.
Temptation getting the better of me, pressed I did. Bugger me, but nothing happened â€“ nothing at all. Bloody thing must be broken, so I pressed again, still nothing.
As the gaffer shouted over saying something along the lines of get on with your work you lazy git, I forgot the button and continued with my work.
Well about 5 minutes later some burly policemen came rushing up the stairs and burst into the room.
They looked at me
I looked at them
They looked at the button
I looked at the button
My gaffer looked at the button
They looked at me
I looked at the floor
â€œWho pressed that bloody buttonâ€ said a 6foot high copper whilst sweating profusely
Gaffer looks at me
I look at the floor rolleyes

â€œWho pressed that bloody buttonâ€ repeated the copper, the sweat now dripping off his forehead â€“ cheeks flushed, giving him that demonic look
â€œIt must be an electrical faultâ€ said my gaffer.
God I got a bollocking for that one. redface

It turned out that the store had immediately shut â€“ two fire engines, 1 ambulance and an abundance of police had arrived in response to someone pressing the panic button in the cash counting office.
Probably the only time I pressed a particular button and actually had a response (think about that one)
:twisted:

Manolishi? I hope you're still buying drinks for that man! Regardless of his no longer being your boss/living hundreds of miles away/being dead. He deserves it.
