I'm a GP. In my old surgery about a year ago, a new patient I'd never met before came in complaining of penis pain. He sat down & introduced himself as Willie Hurt. I laughed out loud, thinking he was being funny. He wasn't. His name was William Hurt but he shortens it to Willie.

"Nobody today is normal, everybody is a little bit crazy or unbalanced, people’s minds are running all the time. Their perceptions of the world are partial, incomplete. They are eaten alive by their egos. They think they see, but they are mistaken; all they do is project their madness, their world, upon the world. There is no clarity, no wisdom in that!"

My mum used to wash my hair as a child by getting me to kneel on a chair and washing it over the sink. I had my first proper "grown up" hair appointment at 11 years old and guess what I did when the stylist asked me to come to the sink? I could die inside when I remember.

"Money" is a perfectly valid response to "why do you want this job?". Sick of interviewers expecting me to act like I've dreamt of working at Morrisons since I was a child.

CAPTCHAs were meant to keep bots out, but too often, they lock people with disabilities out, too. From image classification to click-based tests, many “human checks” are anything but inclusive.Smashing Magazine
In a moment of extreme boredom at work I photocopied a paperclip using an entire pack of paper which I then reloaded into the copier, paperclip image right side up. I'd forgotten about this until a photocopier repair man had the machine in pieces looking for the paperclip.

Just realised that I've been pressing the wrong button on the key fob when locking my car. So it hasn't actually been locked for over three years.
English isn't my wife's first language, but she's lived in UK 20+ yrs. This morning, at a carol concert, I learned she has been singing that "Christ, Arse Saver" is born during 'Silent Night' the whole time. "Because he saves our arses, yes?"
All jazz albums would be improved immeasurably by the removal of everything except the drums. Just listen to the drums. The rest of it is masturbatory, self-indulgent, shapeless, maddening guff. All you need are the drums.
Told a co-worker I'm colour-blind because she kept writing in yellow pen and I hated it. Manager overheard, asked if I struggle with our software, I had to keep the lie going. Now they've spent thousands upgrading it for colour-blind accessibility. Oops.
When I worked in a book shop and customers pissed me off by being rude and condescending, instead of saying "Thank you" at the end of the transaction I'd mumble, "Fuck you very much." They were never completely sure what they heard - plausible deniability in action.
Aged 42 I've developed a shoplifting habit. Always at the self scan in the supermarket, a card here, pack of biscuits there. Recently managed to get a £15 cheese advent calendar in. Staff are so overworked they just approve everything. Not struggling financially, just bored.
