Remember this from a thread in January?
You might think the probability of something like that occuring would be quite slim... well, this morning the following happened:
I was just ready to head out of the door for work, and had my coat on and earphones in when I spotted a pile of clothes that I ought to have put through the laundry already. Picked them up, carried them to the kitchen, threw them in the machine and switched it on. As I turned to walk back out my phone tugged out of my pocket and fell on the floor. I looked down and saw with horror the cable running from it into the door of the washing machine!!! Too late to cancel the cycle, I watched the first intake of water running down across the earphones inside. I immediately thought of AdamW's story and I had to laugh - even though I now have to walk to work without my daily Chris Moyles fix until I get some new ones!
AdamW said:Well, I saw a pretty girl and you know how sometimes you get distracted?ninebob said:How on earth did that happen? Should you not be missing a head as well in that instance?AdamW said:one day I was out for a walk and in the course of events the headphones became trapped in a lift. Now I have a wire with a 3.5mm plug on the end. I hate lifts.
I might have somehow ended up in an office building, standing in a lift in mid-conversation with the woman. Realised a little too late that on removing my headphones to chat I had just left them dragging behind me on the ground.
Doors shut, despite my best efforts to throw a shoe to jam them, James Bond style, I ended up with the aforementioned bare wire.
But despite being a headphone-dragging, shoe-throwing maniac, I got an invitation to dinner and have been seeing her a couple of months now, so it wasn't all bad
