  • I just enjoy reading them because there are a lot of unintentional comedians on there and so much of it is common sense. Perhaps not so common. One wonders how we survived the days when there was no-one, just yourself to sort things out. most of these people would not have survived the computerless days

    DD caught us having sex.....

    was great entertainment, but I think most of us were also worried about the same thing happening to us one day.....

    and the grown up child who heard their mother shouting something like "do it for the Grand Slam, Don" because Scotland were up to win the Grand Slam, then someone took that and used it as their signature!!:rotfl:

    Another vote for 'My daughter caught us........'.

    It made me laugh and cringe in equal amounts!

    Definitely my favourite. The most funny thing I have read in ages. He fought back and won - well, due to the DCAs mistake it should never have happened in the first place. But the thread also showed that despite a mix up, DCAs (debt collection agencies) hound people. If they do that when its an error, what are they like with the genuine debts that people are worried sick over??


    Anyway, altogether now... ##"a-weema-weh, a-weema-weh, a-weema-weh, a-weema-weh"###

    I just read zincoxide's thread all the way through, thanks for sharing! - I was a bit disappointed he had to give up because they eventually reached an agreement - it would have been great to know how much they had to pay out in the end - he's really talented, he could be a comedian with rapid responses like he gave!!:rotfl:
