Barcode Battler
I still can't believe she threw it out! I was young when I got it and didn't really have a clue what I was doing on the thing but just loved nicking barcodes from different items around the house.

» Embarrassing Injuries
A Fly
Not sure it's classed as an injury but it was certainly embarassing.
One day I'm having a nice relaxing game of golf when I fly decides to invade my right ear. My efforts to kill the bugger seemed pointless as it went further and further inside my ear. Until I could feel it 'inside'. Bugger.
Hoping the thing may kill itself I decided to leave it. That night, trying to sleep, was awful. As silent as it usually is a night I could hear it moving around trying to escape only to get so far and fail.
Cue next day, 4 hours in A&E with about 3 doctors sticking pipes in my ear trying to suck the fucker out with a vacuum style thingy, when that failed they finally drowned it out.
The wait was worse, I'd have been there an hour less if the nurses learnt how to page a doctor properly that was about 5 rooms down from them (and actually opposite where I was waiting).

» Weird Traditions
Adverts and Posters
A tradition of me and my sister is to get the crappy adverts that are posted through the letterboxes such as the latest advances in helping people over 80 getting upstairs and friendly reminders from our local MPs asking for your vote.
We'd then place them in each others beds without the other knowing, so that on going to bed we'd find a lovely bit of bedtime reading. I think the last one I had was advertising some yummy dog food.

Our company can't be arsed to all travel into town (Leicester) from around the county so we're getting £15 Marks and Spencers vouchers instead, thanks...I've already swapped them for real money.

» Irrational Fears
Well...
When I was younger I used to wear socks to bed because I thought Roland Rat would bite my toes off...thankfully this didn't last that long.
Nowadays I, without thinking, check behind the door of the last room I enter, i.e. if I walk from the front room to my room I'll check my room. All our rooms are rectangular shaped so, for some reason, I check that there's nothing behind the door.
I also hate foods like pasta, cheese and eggs - I'll touch an egg but never out of it's shell. I tried to eat ravioli once which only resulted in me gagging. I swear it comes from when I was little and I opened the top of a banana and "banana puss" came out - I've never eaten a banana since.
Oh and I also hate labels sticking out of clothes, I always have to make sure mine are tucked in and I hate having to sleep in the house on my own, I start drawing pictures in my mind of people or things standing in the corner of my room waiting...just....waiting...
Ooo ooo Superman II scared the shit out of me too when I was little when they caught some woman in a machine that turned her into some zombie/robot thing - I've never watched it since and never will.
