» The most childish thing you've done as an adult

Bemused at Blackpool Pleasure Beach
A couple of years ago me and my sister, brother in law and nephew went for the annual trip to blackpool. Having been on the handful of "better" rides, it was a case of just bumbling around before the time came to get food and go home.
As my sister went on a ride that we couldn't be bothered going on, we stood on the walkway's overlooking the water with the little round motor dingy's. Then on the concrete slope coming out from the water, we spotted it. A lone frog (or possibly a toad, but we didn't give a shit which) was RIGHT UNDERNEATH where we stood about 10 meter's below.

SPITTING CONTEST !!!

I swear, 20 minutes at least must have past as we all golly'ed away, not a care in the world to the families who were walking past behind us.
It was the best thing we did all day, and we still had a laugh about it to this day, I was about 29, my bro in law and nephew were probably about 40 and 14.

ah yeah, I got a good mouthful of greb right on the frogs back, thought I might have cut the fucker in half, it made such a loud thud.

Talk about takin the urine ..
I left the Air Force years ago, and didnt have anything to fall back on. So im in the Job Centre for the 4th time now, having put my brave face on that morning to go there. Stood in the queue and there's a fella further down the line who looks familiar, and to my disgust i was right!

Basically, this guy was from Iraq and owned a corner shop round the corner of my mums. Absolutely nothing wrong with that at all, BUT ...
during the first gulf war (Desert Storm i think) he actually surrendered his passport, left for Iraq and FOUGHT FOR THE REPUBLICAN GUARD ... AGAINST OUR TROOPS ! This isnt just hearsay, it was local knowledge.

Imagine how angry i was when it was my turn and i was told that i was no longer entitled to Job Seekers pocket money ?

Still makes my shudder just thinking about it ...

» Being told off as an adult

Drunk Woman
I used to work in a video rental store, and used to lock up at night so i carried a torch in my rucksack (along with butties and bottles of pop etc.). Well one night after work walking home, i heard lots of banging and clunking coming from a transit van parked down the road and then i heard a window smash.
As i only lived round the corner, i didnt want the local grandnational posse running over cars (happened a lot round our area) all the way towards my house coz they'd get my parents car. So i walked across the road to look at the van and yep, the windscreen was smashed through, and down the street i could hear car alarms all going off in the distance. So i take out the torch from my bag and use it to look more clearly at the van and they havent just smashed the screen, theyve dented the front panels and kicked head lights in etc.

Just as i was looking for more, a woman came out from the house opposite and screeched "WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING ?"
I tried to tell her that the kids had been past and theyd damaged the van etc but she was convinced that i was a burgular or something (i guess the rucksack didnt help).
"WHO WALKS AROUND WITH A TORCH AT 11.30 AT NIGHT ?? ARE YOU A PERVERT OR SOMETHING ? IM CALLING THE POLICE !!"

I was left stunned and oddly enough amused at the sight of her walking back into the house as she was absolutely rat-arsed and staggered through the door and dissapeared inside.
I thought it best to go home, although i could still her shreiking around the corner for about an hour later.
