This is a question World of Random

There's a pile of scrap timber, rubble and general turds in the road opposite my work with a hand-written sign reading "Free Shed". Tell us about random, completely hatstand stuff and people you've seen

My old landlady
...singlehandedly validates the newfangled usage of the term random. Here are some of her highlights:

Referred, in one conversation, to a trip to the Tate Moss, having confused the supermodel with the modern art gallery, and to ger difficulty in getting back to Wolveremstrone, by which she meant Walthamstow.

During a weekend I was away, she replaced the carpet in my bedroom with lino. She did not inform me she was going to do this, and she seemed to think I would be pleased about it.

Sellotaped a tablet she stole from a kid at the school she worked at to the inside of the toilet. When I asked why she said "I have flushed it seventeen times and it is still there. Imagine what it is doing to that kids belly"

Played "Frustration" into the wee small hours, meaning that I could hear the click of the dice dome thing all bloody night. When she resumed the game with her boyfriend the next day, I once witnessed ger get angry because he didn't remember which colour he was the night before.

I think I was pretty close to going as mad as her by the time I moved out

Clicked
Although, check your g and h keys are the correct way round.

Click for the Frustration reference
as you have just reminded me of a small part of my childhood.

None of these are actually random.
Considering your rage against misuse of the word, this strikes me as somewhat ironical.

Note the timeline. Started off this post with a vague acknowledgement that I'm not comfortable with the term. Bt later posted an exaggerated "arghh" and explaining that I had trouble with the term. That ok?

Carpet in the bathroom?
