Proposing a toast...
One fine evening Mr. Gloom, a couple of friends and I visit the new pan-asian buffet in town. We coo at the tasteful decor (despite looking a little like the lobby scene in The Matrix), and rub our hands with glee when we see the myriad of oriental delights laid before us. Our drinks arrive, and as it's such a lovely occasion, I propose a toast by lifting my bottle of Tsing Tao and shouting "CHINK!"...
... then immediately freezing in bug-eyed terror at the enormous faux-pas I had just committed.
We haven't been back since :\

My mother...
... will not answer the phone. Ever. The reason? "It might be people who want my money." Apparently she's petrified of telesales people. Fine, but at least pick up the phone to see who it is, because it might be your darling daughter stuck somewhere, trying to phone for a lift.
I quickly learnt to ALWAYS have a back-up plan.

» Workplace Boredom
Coffee-shop boredom...
Espresso-cup bunnies:
Very popular with kids at Easter.
Abusing the whiteboard:
(understaffed, Saturday, Rugby)
Granola Bar cricket:
Bowling a granola bar to a batter armed with a poster tube, mop, or other similarly shaped item.
Wheelie-chair jousting:
Requires a store with a large office or outdoor area. Two players use only mops or brushes to propel themselves on office chairs, trying to topple the other player when in range.
ISI Javelin:
Using an empty cream canister charged with ISI gas, players propel marker pens as far as they can. More charges may be used (with care) for a more explosive result. A variation on this is Cream Roulette whereby players take it in turns to aim canisters at the face, one being charged with cream.

Once made the transition from sleep to wake by screaming out "IT'S NOT A BONGO!"
My boyfriend at the time was trés confused.
