to be embarrassed for falling for this urban myth

I just forwarded an email and everyone who I sent it to spotted it as an urban myth straight away.

It's the one where baddies put a doll in a car seat by the side of the road covered with a blanket and you stop the car and get attacked.

It was coupled with the one where the baddies throw eggs at your windscreen which when you try and wipe it causes a 92.5% reduction in visibility (how could I not have seen the lie in that figure alone??) and then you stop and they attack you.

p.s. I'm hoping to find some hard evidence from some of you that this is in fact true Hmm

I've just remembered another one. Don't eat a cheeseburger at Macdonalds in Dagenham, an employee has been jizzing in them. Seemingly this spunk machine had come in about 30 hamburgers every day for a month or so. I am surprised that he had the energy to go to work.

It was my mum who told me about the toilet-hair-shaving-romanians in Asda. I told her earlier that it was a well known myth. She is adamant that it did happen in our Asda. It was on the news (I never saw it, plus it woudl be national news surely?). And the car seat by the road did happen in the town she works in. It was in the paper Hmm

I'll ask her about the others later. She probably knows people they really did happen to.

ah, now, kreecher - i know someone who worked in KFC when he was a lot younger (talking 25 ish years ago) and he told me that he had done things like spit in the burger buns and not wash his hands after going to the toilet.

I wouldn't believe jizz, but i would believe spit etc..

Did you nkow that if you look in a mirror and say "Candyman" five times then you're on the road towards being OCD.

Nickel I know an ex-Virgin Atlantic Upper Class Stewardess who did some AWFUL things. Not an urban myth. She is a scuzzy cow and took great pride in telling us all about it in the pub one night...

The company I work for put the eggs & child seat 'warning' in the official weekly e-mail newsletter. Muppets.

Maybe it is an urban myth that it's an urban myth. :)
