Bloody hell

  • really embarrassed myself on a long distance train journey.

Went to loo early on on the right hand side of train. Flush button was on the wall on the right at the top.

Went to loo later on on other side of train - left hand side. Went to press flush button in same position as earlier and it was the emergency button. A siren went off and a man’s voice asked if I needed assistance and I had to explain I was trying to flush the loo! The siren was still going off when I walked back to my seat with sweaty, hot face behind face mask. I am still on said train praying no one can identify me. 😱

Any other embarrassing anecdotes to brighten a Wednesday evening?

Moons ago I was walking down the street
Phone in hand and earphones in
I looked up and it dawned on me that if I carried on walking I’d end up in the back of an ambulance
So I dodged to the side
And fell over the stretcher-with a poor girl wearing a neck brace been wheeled towards it
I swear that everyone turned to look at me as I went arse over tit

I asked a lady when she was due
She wasn’t pregnant

Many many more over the years

Oh well good to know those buttons work! I was once on a crowded silent 6pm train reading about ovulation on my mobile. The page I clicked on had a pop up advert and before I could turn the volume down the words 'IMAGINE, KNOWING YOU'RE PREGNANT THE MOMENT IT HAPPENS' boomed out. I was completely mortified.

A few people sniggered, at least they found it funny, I hope.
