    Telephone Fail

    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…!

    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.

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

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

    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 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 Well it was on the wall in front of me, just like my phone eh

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

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

    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...
    Yes, I am pedantic about spelling and grammar so get used to it!

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

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

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

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

Because people are stupid, they will believe a lie because they want to believe it's true, or because they are afraid it might be true. People's heads are full of knowledge, facts, and beliefs, and most of it is false, yet they think it all true ... they can only rarely tell the difference between a lie and the truth, and yet they are confident they can, and so all are easier to fool." -- Wizard's First Rule

    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.
