on a lighter note

Post by korky »

what daft things do you do whilst "on the job"?
my 2 are finding a stone in my shoe but waiting until i finished a loop before removing it & 2 swigging the last of a bottle of water before taking a piss in it.

OCD tendencies when locking the van to check it's definitely locked by trying the doors, then press the lock button again to make the lights flash just to be extra sure it's locked, then check again that the windows are definitely wound all the way up for the 2nd time, then maybe just take a quick glance at the handbrake to make sure it's definitely on, then wait until the lights have stopped flashing to press the lock button one last time for good measure. :crazy: I should probably get my head examined really

Counting the doors and stairs and seeing how far I can go before I get to a door that is borked
"2 entry doors, 28 stairs, walk to next point. 2 more entry doors and another 28 stairs.. that's 4 doors and 56 steps.
Cut through to next entrance, press button to open door and nothing." Borked!
