When Scotland played Brazil in the world cupI was working in Safeways, and I was the only male person in the store (except the weirdos on the checkouts) since everyone else had phoned in sick. And naturally there were no customers in. So after a little while chatting to the girls on the bakery and deli, I pissed off to the pub to watch the game and have a pint. When I came back nobody had noticed me missing. We still lost the game, though.
