» Ignoring Instructions
Reason for not following instructions
When I was young I went to the toliet on my own and was greeted with a sign that said 'wet floor'. I thought it was an instruction and wondered why my Dad was so annoyed when he came in 2 minutes later.
I've not followed instructions since.

» Putting the Fun in Funeral
Jungless in the place, Jungless on the case, Scooter are you ready
My nethew died in a car crash. He was 8. They played his favourite song at the funeral, Scooter - The Logical Song. Sat there in the funeral with lyrics of scooter blairing out of the loudspeakers and family crying all around me. So very surreal.

» Work Experience
If at first you don't succeed . . .
Job 1 - Data entry for a company sold toy cars through mail order.
They wanted me to move customer data from one computer system to different computer system. They were imagining that printing the data and keying it back in was the way forward, and were looking to use me for couple of weeks. I wrote a script that did the job in 10 mins. Was promptly fired.
Job 2 - Newspaper cashier.
First day was on new years day and after celebrating birthday the night before (I'm a new years eve baby) was turned away as I stunk of alcohol and "had a bad attitude".
Job 3 - Plant Hire Site.
They told me most people quit on the first day. First day consisted of jet washing port-a-loos that had just come back from a gay music festival. Quit after first day.
Job 4 - Deli Sandwich Maker.
Had a 40 year age gap on the rest of the staff. Head sandwich maker shouted at me because I wasn't making sandwiches fast enough. I said I prefered to make good sandwiches rather than rushed ones. Asked not to come back.
At which point decided that going to uni was a good move.

Aparantly that was the standard . . .
