You know what I mean. When you've done something so effing stupid or with dire consequences and you can't do a thing about it.

When was the last time you had that feeling?

I've got it right now. Under no stress, no previous difficulties with the day and for no other reason, after a minor mistake of putting too many numbers into the photocopier for how many copies I wanted, I've managed the punch the screen and crack the LCD display.

I couldn't stop the copier from printing 100 instead of 10 and for no real reason other than temper I've flaming punched the screen and its knackered.

I'm assuming it can be fixed (it cost us nearly £4K) but even then I really can't see the bill being under £1000.

I was going to ask if we're getting bonuses this year - not likely now

Try sending a rude text to the wrong person - that takes some beating. Literally.

& I presume it was you that took that beating Tel?

asking a work colleague “when is the baby due” – to be told that “I am not pregnant”

dpb

he probably enjoyed it
too

Talking to the new guy in work and telling him what a bellend the boss is, only to find out later on it was his son!

EddScott

Photocopier dude has come and thinks I've written the f*cking thing off

Just waiting to get a claim form from the insurers. Hopefully I only got to pay the £200 excess.

I feel terrible!

Snazy

Oh dear not good dude, do they know?

I was breaking some ice out of the freezer at work once (with a screwdriver as you do!)
All the big stuff was broken away, but I had to get that last bit.....
Bang, straight through a pipe lol!

£400 later, we got the new fridge.

I have to admit though, sending THAT text is still the one that bites lol

Snazy

Aaah man that sucks
Try not to beat yourself up about it.

Dedrater

You are doing it all wrong anyway, what you should of done is burst back into the office and shouted "who has bloody broken this photocopier!!" and then wondered off muttering "nobody has any respect these days.."

Snazy

Spoken like someone of experience

EddScott

LOL. Not enough staff here for that and everyone would know it was me.

Got the claim form so lets hope copier dude comes good on the repair bill. Not sure how it will work if its written off because we have to pay and then get the money back. As the copier is leased will have to get another through them.

Was really hoping for bonus to be paid this week - its not much but not very helpful when you spend £300 in Toys R Us thinking you'll get your bonus in a few days time

That feeling is called the 'cold pricklies', it suddenly creeps up on you. It isn't associated with doing something at the time, so much as the gradual realisation that something has been done, the situation cannot be retrieved, and really bad things are inevitable.

It is the opposite of the 'warm fuzzies' that you get when things all work out nicely and there is nothing to worry about.

Dedrater

Yep

The best one I have done recently, is use the kitchen in work, made a massive mess and left loads of washing in the sink, I needed to be back at my desk, so just wrote on a piece of A4;

"Could everybody please use a bit of common sense and courtesy and follow the kitchen etiquette poster printed by the door, it is unacceptable to leave a shared space in any other way than you found it, thanks.

It was nice and clean when I left at the end of the day

Snazy

lol im loving your style, sounds like something I would do

Just last week funnily enough.

Girl friend and I always **** about calling each other names. I'll walk in the house and she'll say something like alright ******** or such like.

She's heavily pregnant (due Friday) and on maternity leave. So last week I popped home for lunch and walked through the door, I decided to get the insult in first and jokingly said "Where's my effing dinner you fat b*tch"

I forgot that the mother in law was there that day!!!!

If you knew my mother in law you'd know just what a horrible f*ck up that was.

She now thinks her precious little girl is in an abusive relationship and I am boyfriend from hell. The GF is milking it for all its worth though and reminding me of the horrible moment at every opportunity.

I'm cringing just thinking about it as we are the happiest couple on the planet and this portrays totally the opposite.

Every morning as I drive in to work, I feel the same way.....

Anyone see House this week ? I REALLY need some dumbing down to cope.....

EddScott

LOL - good luck on Friday Daz!

I have no idea why I lost it. I put the wrong numbers in and its not the first time and I know how to stop it but I just couldn't get it together and lost my temper.

Where I used to work I used to have old pallets and doors and if the job I was working on wasn't going right I'd use them rather than the machine to take my frustration out on. Might have to get one for the office.

Copier dude reckons its a once piece unit hence he thinks its a write off as he said the display is glued to the PCB. I got the manual and parts list of the internet and it shows that its actually a sealed item and can be replaced. I found a supplier online and the part is £670 + VAT (we aren't VAT registered) - plus £6 postage. You'd think they'd let you off the flaming postage at that sort of money.

****. Hopefully he'll agree with me that it is a replaceable item and I guess all in with an hour or two labour its going to be around £900. We got to pay and then wait for insurers to repay us minus the £200 XS.

That, as they say, will teach me!

So you put you're copies in and leant on it for a minute and crack, it happened.

Yeah?

I am sure the worst must be to send a text message to your wife/mistress that was intended for the mistress/wife!!!

Not that that could have happened to me of course!

Hope you get it sorted Ed!

Last week had a crap drive to work, followed by a big row with my manager.

In my wisdom i ended up punching a door.

BAD move. Knew straight away i'd damaged it, due the fact it'd swollen up twice the size as normal, couldn't move it, and was already bruised.

Ended up in A&E having several x-rays, injections, and having the broken bone put back in place.

Back to hospital on 18th December, but looking like it might need to be pinned.

Can't write, struggling to drive, can't use a knife and fork properly.... but on the plus side Mrs Moley is having to help me shower

Silly boy........

what would scooby do

..well there was that time I woke up with a hangover and found Maddie in...

A few years ago just after our son was born, the missus decided it would be a good idea to take a weeks holiday with the in-laws at a country cottage.

One night they volunteered to babysit so we could have a night out on our own. Great, we thought! So after a nice meal we walked back to the cottage and on route I tried to get the missus into the woods for some al-fresco action. Now, she is scared sh1tless of ducks and wouldn't walk past the pond leading to the woods, so we headed back with me in a huff.

We get back in the house about 1pm and the in-laws are sat in the living room feeding my son so we head straight to the bedroom. Seeing I was not happy, she asked me what was wrong..... I replied with "I wanted to take you down the woods and fvck you and you're going on about the fvcking ducks" only to then look to my left and see the light on the baby monitor was on! I had that feeling!!

About a minute later, the mother-in-law knocks on the door and says "i've turned the monitor off now, so you can talk"

I still cringe now when I think of it

Sent an email to a colleague, or so I though. Infact it was to the customer and I think the term I used was a less polite version of go pleasure yourself.

Caused a riot.

Did a girl at uni, only to find out on a pished night later, that it was my mates ex wjo he was still pining for.
