Telephone Fail

[Fatt Max]

Cant fucking believe it, I’ve gawn and done it again…..

Got the phone in my hand and just about to make a call. One of the guys at work comes over to my desk and is asking me something about something or other. Anyway, I’m trying to dial the number written on a piece of paper and I’m not getting anything.

My workmate keeps talking and I keep dialling and still getting nowhere. I’m clicking the receiver on and off and dialling and dialling and getting more and more pissed with this.

Then my workmate asks me the question…..

Why do you keep dialling that number into your calculator….

Yes folks, I am looking at this number on the paper with a phone to my ear and pressing the numbers on my calculator thinking I am dialling the number on my phone.

That’s two fails in two days, It must be lack of beer that’s turning me into a prize fucking idiot…….

Go on then, take the piss whydontcha…!

[Str8 Jacket]

Well, aren't you just a great big failure...

[yungatart]

Man, you seriously need to take some time off!

[P38]

I hear what your saying Mate.

Wasn't that long ago I was looking for my 1/4lb peining hammer.

Looked everywhere in my workshop but couldn't find it.

Eventually I asked my Son had he seen it......

His reply ... Does it look like the one you have in your hand Dad?

Yep thats the one son thanks. :(

I didnt know calculators had receivers. I must get one of them!!

Sadly, and I mean that sincerely too, I cant take the piss out of your recent failures :mad:

I too have experienced a complete fail that mimics yours to such a degree, to take the piss would be dishonest :yes:

Try using eftpos at pump on the first day it is introduced. All sorts of folk around to help out. Big, modern technology coming to sleepy village Warkworth. Much excitement. I'll give this a crack thinks me, swipe my card, enter my pin number and it says nope! EH? What do you mean NO? Try again, swipe card, enter pin, same storey, friggen thing refuses the transaction. Now, the young fella that came to my aid was very helpful, in a mocking kind of way :yes: and "supervised" my 3rd attempt to get this thing working. Did it work? Did it hell as like!

I was getting a bit pissed off to be fair, and flagged the whole thing, filled my car and went inside to pay in the usual way. It was not until I was entering my pin number on the pin pad that I realised I was actually entering my answer phone pin number at the pump :o Well it was on the wall in front of me, just like my phone eh :wacko:

So, sorry Fat Max, I simply can not give you shit, though I did laugh at you if it makes you feel better :D

I find it very easy. It's called BEER... ;)

[Mom]

I find it very easy. It's called BEER... ;)

Yes, Beer is good, perhaps I should go and get a few wines down my neck, then I can really get stuck in :2thumbsup

My late father got pissed off trying to change channels on tv - said the batteries in the remote must have needed replacing. Next thing the phone rings and the neighbour asks what's going on - seems dad's garage door was opening and closing...

I have been known to move the stapler around on my desk and wonder why the cursor on the screen was not moving. :o

No, I did not just admit that on a public forum! :Oops:

It sounds like you need a holiday - or someone to take you along to AA (and not the automotive one).

[Street Gerbil]

Yeah.... Sometimes I am getting really upset when I move my mobile phone on the desk and mouse cursor does not react...

I had that on Monday. I was trying to bind the property of a control in a custom list item with the value of a property in the parent control and fuck me if there didn't turn out to be an unexpected object in the inheritence chain.

Ahem, started new job, got new work vehicle, Ford Ranger XLT 4WD Double cab, bought it home today 71km's on the clock and reversed into a post under my deck and smashed the drivers side tail light.

Wife had it on facebook in less than 2 minutes . . .

I've been known to try to change TV channels with the cell phone ... those I had on speed dial were not impressed...

Thank god we don't have nuclear power stations,can see the exact replica of Homer Simpson and nuke waste.

I constantly do it at work, either leave my safety goggles on top of my head, then start abusing guys who I think have pinched them for a laugh cause "I had them just a second ago"..

Or just run around in an escalating state of annoyance in the morning looking for my keys, only to give up and find them in the doorlock as I'm leaving..

well i had the mouse in my hand, but couldn't get the damn cursor to go where i wanted it to... until i looked down and realised i was holding the mouse the wrong way around/upside down :whistle:

[Gremlin]

You didn't take the doctor's prescription did you? :whistle:

I think I manage reasonably well with all my devices... I just keep leaving my bike keys in the top box... it really is annoying...
