What's the most wanky thing you have ever done?!

I cringe when I think of this. First year of university, and I was studying Languages. I'm from a working class, Scottish family and was the first ever to go to university. Mother's Day comes and I thought it would be a nice idea to write out the card entirely in the languages I've been studying I thought mum would be so impressed, but she just looked at me and said 'but Lardylegs, I cannae understand a word'.
I think I was too busy being a pretentious dick, that I'd forgotten about this mere detail

Eldest DD, when she was only 7, was heard to sigh heavily 'Oh no, not Tuscany again Mummy' when told where we were going on holiday

More recently (she's 18) she was genuinely surprised to discover that, out there, are teenagers who actually pay for their own driving lessons, car insurance and even (gasp) petrol

We were taught, at high school, to write our 'F's in a fancy way. They almost look back to front. I don't know anyone else who does it but I do occasionally when writing something.

When I was a teen I insisted on eating pizza with a knife and fork. I thought it was the height of sophistication, and would sigh loudly and shake my head if anyone near me dared pick it up and eat it by hand.

We're moving this thread to Classics now.

Hooray!
