Anyone after a cheap laugh at my expense?

[UnctuousUnicorns]

My parents sent us a cheque in the post, just arrived today.
DH said, "I can't pay this in via the banking app; it's too big."
I said, "But it's just a normal sized cheque, surely?"
DH: "No, the amount of money it's for is too high - you cant pay that much in online!"

D'oh! 🤦‍♀️😳 😅😅

Airmail Letters used to be charged by weight and were expensive to post, every gram mattered.
Airmail paper & envelopes were light weight and thin.

Just for interest the Military used to use letter paper that was a A4 bit of paper that folded and made its own envelope, reducing weight as much as possible

I used to work for a bank years ago, and one of our customers was a charity. They brought one of those giant cheques in once and wanted to pay it in. Our manager had to ring head office and get special permission to accept it.😁

Aerogrammes, I used to write to my pen pals on those!

I feel old.

I remember aerogrammes! I also remember receiving one (from an English friend) inside a stamped, addressed, airmail envelope 🤦🏻‍♀️

My neighbour had just had a baby, her DH was back at work, she was exhausted and a bit stressed. So I went round and told her to go upstairs with the baby and nap, I'd tidy up downstairs, put a wash on, clean the kitchen etc. Her DH arrived later on to find me busy with domestic tasks, wife and child nowhere to be seen. I meant to say "I'm just doing a bit of housework to help out" but for some weird reason I said "I'm your wife now". The poor bloke looked terrified.

Papa Lazarou vibes! 🤣

I was getting out of my car and couldn't find my phone so figured it might have fallen in the footwell. I used the torch on my phone (which was in my hand) to look for my phone 🫣🫣🫣😂

I am so embarrassed to say this but here goes.

I once went past the British museum where there was a queue outside. I asked a security guard what all the fuss was about and he said something like 'Nero' and I said 'I thought he was dead?'

He meant the exhibition of course. I realised my stupidity a second later and legged it completely mortified.

This is me 🤣🤣🤣

Yes I've done this several times.

So sorry to read about your accident and the trouble you are having. I hope things improve soon for you.

Enough to pay for the platform and ramp outside our front door. Cheers, Mum and Dad, and Happy Birthday to my lovely Mum - 80 today! 🥳

I went to see a 3d film and took 3d specs. Complained to my friend that the 3d was crap, she pointed out I was wearing sunglasses 😂

I was visiting my parents when DS2 was a baby, and was awake in the middle of the night. We were co sleeping, but I couldn't feel DS2 between us, so started screaming and flapping the bedsheets thinking he'd slipped down. My husband woke in a panic & searched the bed, then pointed out I was breastfeeding him, and that's the reason I was awake in the first place.

I did the look for something that im actually wearing thing once, only it was the baby in a sling, on me. Only for a few seconds but still..

As a variant on not being able to find the glasses (sun or reading) on top of my head, I’ll add that putting on a pair of reading glasses when already wearing a pair of reading glasses doesn’t work very well.

And happy birthday to the OP’s lovely mum.

🤣🤣🤣

Oh please tell me this is an urban myth. If not, shouldn’t be given the vote or allowed to breed 😬

🤣🤣🤣

🤣🤣🤣 entirely DH's fault gif saying it's 'too big' when what he meant was the value was too high!

Ignore the stupid posts about bragging!

im sorry to hear about your situation. Its alarming how quickly & easily one's life can change overnight 🌷I'm glad your parents gave been able yi help you out with this bit! Being able to get out by yourself will make a HUGE difference x

My best friend does that too (turns everything off at the wall, & I don't! It has caused a few problems over the years, 🤣🤣

Hope you’ve read OP’s update and now feel like a right tit. Or a left tit, I’m not titist.

😂😂😂

im going to gave to get out of bed & go for a wee this threads made me laugh so much!

🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄

I even did it in the hallway in DC school when I thought u recognised someone in a sports photograph! 🙇🏻‍♀️🙇🏻‍♀️I don't 'think' anyone saw me!🤞🏼
