It has cut the wait-time in my building by minutes, especially during high-traffic times.

After two days in hospital I took a turn for the nurse. (Fluffy Bear Hearts Rain, Wednesday, 14 February 2007 19:56 (seventeen years ago) link

(Hah, now I remind myself of a young girl on an subway escalator ahead of me the other day, saying, "The escalator is to move ME, not for ME to move. I piss so many people off at work! They want to get by, but I say, 'Take the stairs, motherfuckers.'" It made me hate her, basically. Efficiency ahoy.)

Oh god, I hate people like that! It's not a RIDE!

I always try to control-z in real life which just makes me feel mentally challanged.

Not a day goes by I don't lament the lack of ctrl+F in meatspace situations (ex: can't ctrl+F to find friend in dark, crowded movie theater, must resort to loud whisper and ruin the 300 trailer for everybody).

Dethrone the dictaphone, hit it in it's funny bone (kenan), Wednesday, 14 February 2007 21:59 (seventeen years ago) link

i talked to ethan on AIM last night and at a key moment in the discussion my desk tipped over and my CD player and printer slid off it onto my foot

nothing is broken by a miracle but i have a giant big cut over my little toe which i weirdly didn't notice AT ALL till the middle of the night in bed when i suddenly wondered why my foot was hurting so much and WET??

Ew, you had weep foot in your meatspace.

I have done the mental ctrl-Z tihng Sam mentioned, when I mess up my makeup. Too much Photoshop I guess.

I have also stomped around the house going "dammit why can't I find my glasses!". While I am wearing them. :|

i try to google my bedroom at least once a week: keys + shoes.

when i took the tube i used to get my work keys out to get through the turnstiles at the end and stand there stupidly with them in my hand wondering what to do, and try to get into my flat by waving my oystercard at it.

Oh ya, the glasses thing here too. Sometimes they're on top of my head.

"at a key moment in the discussion my desk tipped over..."

Oh poor you, Mark, but the mental image made me LOL.

threw toilet roll rather than used paper down loo and flushed it before I realised. Also dropped exciting pill in toilet and was scummy enough to retrieve it, yeah, just like in...it was pristine blue disinfected toilet water, luckily

I am so glad I don't have an oystercard for this precise reason!

What I try to do is stick my ATM card into the turnstiles of the tube. Um, NO. I do not wish to buy this railway.

See also: mobile phone (had to retrieve it as was on the phone to exciting new romantic prospect at the time - let's gloss over why I was chatting to her while having a pee) and Paul Simon tape (which still worked - as did the phone, admittedly only for about 10 minutes).

Haw, I've done this on the Glasgow Underground. What amazed me was that my card went right through the reader thing and popped out the top undamaged. And it still worked in cash machines too! I sort of assumed the mechanism inside the turnstile was all bendy for paper tickets to whizz through, but apparently not that bendy, or else bank cards are indestructible.

Also, yeah, picked glasses out of toilet (fortunately the reason I was leaning face first over the toilet in the first place hadn't actually come to fruition at that point).

Actually, I've done loads of the things on this thread (toilet roll down loo, etc). I R moron.

When I am very tired, I am extremely easy to fool. One of my brother's favourite memories of me is when we were on our way home from Edinburgh one night on the train, having been up all night long at a party. Our train was sitting next to another one on the tracks, and the other train started to move. "Oh look, we're going," said Stephen, and then laughed at me as I did a proper comedy double take at the other train.

Also, once when we were almost at our housing estate, Mister Monkey said "what are you doing driving in here? We moved, remember?" and for a split second I believed him.
