I tried so so hard... just couldn't see the attraction...

backlash about to start I'm sure!

» Stupid Dares

Stupid dares for cigs...
When I was a poor student working in a hotel, we used to dare each other with the daftest things on the promise of a ten box of Richmond Superkings.
Eating an unused teabag was one of the highlights, then waitressing with tealeaves all over our faces for the rest of the evening.
Another highlight was one of the boys inhaling as much helium as possible and then taking an order... imagine the hilarity of a confused diner and several waitresses crying with laughter.

Quite tame considering some of the dares in the responses to this QOTW, but good fun anyway.

Length? the helium lasted about 30 seconds...

» Buses

N29 Camden to Wood Green
Far too many night time hours spent on this bus... I hate it. It is grotty and it takes too long. One night, me and the boy sat there, probably around 2 or 3 am ish, when a girl suddenly starts hurling racist abuse at a guy, who was sat there minding his own business. So the other half stands up and says something along the lines of 'alright love, calm down yeah...'
To which she promptly punches him in the face.

I did almost piss with laughter as he frogmarched her to the door and chucked her off the bus... she landed on her arse. It was brilliant.

» Family codes and rituals

At first I thought that my family didn't really have any...
... but then I got to thinking...

I can't believe it's not butter
When said butter first came out, about fifteen years ago I'd say, my mum and dad used to trick each other constantly one saying 'oh my god!!' the other 'what, WHAT?' and then first person saying 'I can't believe it's not butter' and so on and so forth. This continued for ages, resulting in my mum taking a picture of us kids, holding a tub of butter in the garden, developing the picture, and posting it to my dad. The picture was pinned to the kitchen wall for years.

There's a hearing aid shop.
Simple but effective. Whenever we were driving or walking past the hearing aid shop in my home town, someone would say something really quietly, and if the other person was stupid enough to say pardon, then you could reply 'There's a hearing aid shop there' I actually got my mum a few weeks ago... good times!

Psssst - Ah!
Simple. Person says psssssst. If the other person in the room turns to look you can flick them the Vs and say 'ah!'

There are a couple more but I'll leave it there for now!

» School Trips

excellent fun...
Just after I'd left sixth form, I went back for a trip to Wales with the vocal group (yep... I know). Being of official drinking age I was allowed to spend each evening with the staff and their numerous bottles of red wine. Hanging out of a window smoking Marlboro reds at three in the morning with one of the science teachers is something I'll never forget. I also had quite a lot of fun trying to sing the next morning.
