    20 Things That Some of Us Do.

    Below are 20 things, some of which some of you do, some of which none of you do, some of which nobody has ever done.

    Simply go through the list, then post telling everyone which ones you do. And no pretending you've never done any of them... we all do things that are we are not proud of or are a bit wacko.

    For the record, I've never done any of these.

    1) Go to make a cup of tea, but decide to have coffee instead, because it’s a new jar, and you get to pop the foil thingy with a spoon.

    2) During sex, realise you badly need a wee, and find yourself thinking – I’m ok, there is a valve or something that stops one coming out when the other is… I read it on Wikipedia.

    3) Go to pick something up off the floor, bend down and just don’t reach far enough, but by the time you’ve realised you’ve not reached far enough, you are already starting to stand up again, so you bend down again, this time in a rush, and do the same again. This can be repeated 4 or 5 times in a few seconds before you finally make sure you’ve got it before standing up.

    4) Have a poo and look at it.

    5) Wake up, look at the time, and think ‘Well, I should get up now, but if I roll over for another 5 minutes and snooze that’s ok’, knowing 100% that if you roll over and snooze, you’ll wake up about an hour and a half later… before rolling over and snoozing.

    6) When someone offers you something to eat you’re not sure you like, walk gingerly up to them, and nervously lift it to your mouth, like there’s any sort of sensation you can get that you don’t like, before you’ve put it in your mouth.

    7) Watch a movie you’ve owned on DVD and not watched for years, when it comes on the telly. (Usually Braveheart)

    8) Have a racist dream.

    9) See a child fall over, and noticing that as they stand up they are still undecided if they are going to cry or not, place a quick mental wager that they will\wont.

    10) While frying food, get a bit of hot oil spat onto you from the pan, which hurts and that, so you drape a tea towel over your arm, and treat the situation like a bullfight, with you as the matador, and the hot oil the bull, elegantly fending off its attacks until the bacon is crispy.

    11) Try to comfort a dog during a thunderstorm, with reassuring words.

    12) Stop smoking and use the saved money to sponsor an African child, then realise later that they will probably just spend the money on ciggies themselves, and that you’ve made everything worse.

    13) Not completely trust trees, if you are alone at night, and there are loads of them.

    14) Need a poo whilst watching something good on the telly, but decide that you can wait until the ads come on, then realise after about 15 minutes that it’s on BBC and there are no adverts, so reluctantly go to the bathroom.

    15) Think about what milk actually is. Ergh.

    16) Wonder if Stephen Hawking writes all these really complicated books because he’s bitter, and is just making it up to feel superior to us.

    17) When the phone rings and you can’t be arsed to answer it, wait until it stops ringing, go to press 1471, then realise that if the person who rang you thought you couldn’t be arsed to answer it, and rings back while you are dialling 1471, to see if you are dialling 1471, they will get the engaged tone and know you are in and dialling 1471! So you think ‘best to wait 10 minutes’, during which time it rings again, but now you don’t know if it’s the same person ringing again or someone else, so you’ve lost everything.

    18) Get an itchy eyeball.

    19) Throw stones at a girl you fancy, damaging her face quite badly.

    20) Imagine the sheer terror and misery that is a ginger person’s anxiety dream. Then vow never to do so again.

    19 - wtf?

    I don't know.. i can imagine doing 9 somehow , 15 can be applied to honey as well..

    13 - probably, might just be the general atmosphere of a forest.

    14 - but not neccesarily toilet functions, say needing a drink, i'll say "right, wait till the ads" and then realise that actually they're not too bad and then forget to get the drink.. gah!

    1) Go to make a cup of tea, but decide to have coffee instead, because it’s a new jar, and you get to pop the foil thingy with a spoon.
    Don't like tea

    2) During sex, realise you badly need a wee, and find yourself thinking – I’m ok, there is a valve or something that stops one coming out when the other is… I read it on Wikipedia.
    I'm afraid when I gets the tingle I'm sprinting for the finish line and sod waiting for her am' dram'

    3) Go to pick something up off the floor, bend down and just don’t reach far enough, but by the time you’ve realised you’ve not reached far enough, you are already starting to stand up again, so you bend down again, this time in a rush, and do the same again. This can be repeated 4 or 5 times in a few seconds before you finally make sure you’ve got it before standing up.
    I've got a nephew for picking things up off the floor

    4) Have a poo and look at it.
    I take pride in my work

    5) Wake up, look at the time, and think ‘Well, I should get up now, but if I roll over for another 5 minutes and snooze that’s ok’, knowing 100% that if you roll over and snooze, you’ll wake up about an hour and a half later… before rolling over and snoozing.
    I realised a while ago I'd learned to set my alarm 30 minutes later and turn it back on again without fully waking up which is risky so now I put my alarm where I can't reach it

    6) When someone offers you something to eat you’re not sure you like, walk gingerly up to them, and nervously lift it to your mouth, like there’s any sort of sensation you can get that you don’t like, before you’ve put it in your mouth.
    Nay

    7) Watch a movie you’ve owned on DVD and not watched for years, when it comes on the telly. (Usually Braveheart)
    I do watch the terminator films when they're on

    8) Have a racist dream.
    I tells ya I'm dreaming I'm a ghost!

    9) See a child fall over, and noticing that as they stand up they are still undecided if they are going to cry or not, place a quick mental wager that they will\wont.
    I'm not a gambling man so I trip them again to make sure.

    10) While frying food, get a bit of hot oil spat onto you from the pan, which hurts and that, so you drape a tea towel over your arm, and treat the situation like a bullfight, with you as the matador, and the hot oil the bull, elegantly fending off its attacks until the bacon is crispy.
    Yup

    11) Try to comfort a dog during a thunderstorm, with reassuring words.
    I find turning the tv up works best for my misses

    12) Stop smoking and use the saved money to sponsor an African child, then realise later that they will probably just spend the money on ciggies themselves, and that you’ve made everything worse.
    Nay

    13) Not completely trust trees, if you are alone at night, and there are loads of them.
    After all the trees I've taken a wizz on they're sure to come for me.

    14) Need a poo whilst watching something good on the telly, but decide that you can wait until the ads come on, then realise after about 15 minutes that it’s on BBC and there are no adverts, so reluctantly go to the bathroom.
    God bless the PVR

    15) Think about what milk actually is. Ergh.
    I'm cool with that

    16) Wonder if Stephen Hawking writes all these really complicated books because he’s bitter, and is just making it up to feel superior to us.


    17) When the phone rings and you can’t be arsed to answer it, wait until it stops ringing, go to press 1471, then realise that if the person who rang you thought you couldn’t be arsed to answer it, and rings back while you are dialling 1471, to see if you are dialling 1471, they will get the engaged tone and know you are in and dialling 1471! So you think ‘best to wait 10 minutes’, during which time it rings again, but now you don’t know if it’s the same person ringing again or someone else, so you’ve lost everything.
    Caller ID

    18) Get an itchy eyeball.
    and teeth

    19) Throw stones at a girl you fancy, damaging her face quite badly.
    Do you mean at her window when she's stood at it?

    20) Imagine the sheer terror and misery that is a ginger person’s anxiety dream. Then vow never to do so again.
    I've a ginger friend and after booting me in the shins for commenting on him having a green coat they get no sympathy from me.

    1) I won't change my mind just 'cause of the new foil, but I am inordinately pleased when it goes pop.
    2) This actually depends on how badly you need to pee....go on, ask me how I know.
    3) Not since I was about 14
    4) Of course
    5) No. That's what the snooze function on alarm clocks are for.
    6) Nope. Having eaten all sorts of dubious things, I have a 'get it over with' policy. If you do that 'hold it near you mouth' thing you get tongue spasms.
    7) Oh yes....there's something very alluring about a movie you like and own on tv....probably harks back to nothing good ever being on TV when there were only 4 or fives channels.
    8) Nope. Sometimes have dreams featuring ethnic minorities, but not racist dreams.
    9) No, my paternal instincts have already kicked in and I'm on my way to help.
    10) No, that's just silly
    11) No, stupid animals
    12) No. stupid kids
    13) Made me laugh, but no. My wife would do this. Even if there was only one. Even if there was only one and it was less than four feet tall.
    14) Sky + removes the need for advert breaks.
    15) Nasty huh....tastes good though.
    16) I hadn't, but now I do.
    17) No. What a funny world you live in.
    18) Yes. Maddening
    19) ROFLMAO. No.
    20) Ginger people have the worst time of it. For their entire lives. I'd rather be Palestinian than ginger.

    No, I can safely say that I havne't been "hassled" about it since I left school. Can I have a picture of you please?
    I know it's half in jest but these comments are a little pathetic, grow up.
