Are you kidding?
I felt an urge to start a thread about funny stories people have day to day.

My urge urges you to post your own as well:)

Yesterday I bought a pair of shoes from The Officers Club, and they were wrapped up in store. Today I have opened the box to wear them and it turns out I have two left shoes of differing sizes (11 and 7). Neither if which is the size I specified.👎
 
Cool, I'll remember to never buy anything in that store when I go to Europe.
 
You should, the clothes are nice:)

It seems bad things only happen to me:(
 
I was went to a nightclub in Glasgow (The Arches), with a group of mates from University. They were all up dancing, and I was quite happy to stay (by myself) in the bar section, while the rest danced like idiots and quaffed Lucozade. At the table next to me, another guy was sitting by himself, presumably doing much the same as me. At this point, two rather attractive girls came by, looking for somewhere to sit. Since we had some spare seats, our table was a good bet. One of the girls (who I shall call 'K') approached me and asked if her and her friend could join us. "Of course!" I replied... 'K' started chatting to me, and even asked me if I would like a beer... (to which I responded by asking something about the religious status of the most senior figure in the Vatican). Her friend got talking to the guy sitting next to me, so all was looking great. After a while, the girls went to the bathroom together (as they usually do), saying they'd be back in a minute. As they disappeared round the corner, the bloke next to me said "Right, I'm off, see you later, mate", to which I said, "See you later", realising that I was now left alone with these two rather attractive girls. A couple of minutes later, the girls came back... A couple of minutes after that, the girl that had been talking to the other guy asked, "Where did your mate go?", to which I responded that I didn't actually know him, and that he was just sitting at the same table. At that point, the girl asked "Where did my cigarettes and Zippo lighter go?"... the fiend had taken them with him! Of course, I didn't notice that they were hers and not his, but I still felt really bad, not least because they were both really nice girls and had even bought me a beer!

Still, it was his loss... for the price of half a pack of fags and the knowledge that he has stolen something, he missed out on a great night. What a fool... ;)
 
doesnt that story belong in the luckiest moments?

not one but TWO attractive girls all to yourself, sounds like a good night indeed :D ;)
 
This was just after the crash chronicled in the luckiest moments thread. I'm in the ambulance, and the paramedic tells me I had a piece of glass that had gone through the skin just underneath the eyebrow. All the way to the hospital, I was freakin out, thinking I was an inch away from blinding myself.
At the hospital, the doc is stitching me up, and I'm thinking, "hang on, he never took the glass out..." I ask him about it, and he tells me not to worry, it was just a zit. A zit. Half an hour of intense scare for a zit.
 
Here's a quick one. What sort of store is open from 1pm - 10pm? My university's hockey store it seems. Ottawa certainly has some odd store hours; the Subway near me closes at 10pm, which is really frustrating when I feel like a good sandwich at, oh say 10:01 (this has happened to me a few times already...).

This is why the cheese shop in Monty Python's Flying Circus is not a comedic sketch, but in fact is a documentary!

I used to work at Subway, and sometimes we would be out of 2 or so kinds of bread while it was still baking. However, if the truck doesn't come with the new bread dough, and lots of people over a given time order bread, it's entirely possible.

But atleast they had Fryz...💡

Oh man...That made me laugh :lol:

I went to a KFC Twice and they ran out of chicken. It was the same KFC both times, I'm never going there ever again.
 
Hmm, I just installed an adaptor for my oil gauges in my car. It fits between the filter and the block and has 4 1/8 NPT holes for the sender units. I only required two (oil temp and pressure) so plugged the sender units and and reassembled the whole jobby. Crank the engine over and up she fires only to make a clickety-clackity sound and stall.

Hmmmm.

Start it again and the noise is more prominent, glance over into the engine bay to see oil pouring out of the adaptor from the two holes I neglected to plug up.There was still oil draining out, but had I left the engine running like that any longer she would've pumped herself dry 👎

I think if that had happened I would've broken down and cried, like a girlie man.
