Cheer ourselves up! Any funny stories!!!

I'll start, wasn't funny at the time but...
Last Saturday i was going out, but my nail were really awfull so i used some false nails!! never used before but looked good.

Sunday night auction ends and for the first time ever decided to pack items sunday night! Now i always pack carefully using tissue paper etc packed 10 parcels carefully and were all ready for posting!

Horror of Horror's woke up next morning to find false nail missing!!!
Checked in bed and on the floor but found nothing!OMG Had vision of buyer finding nail in parcel:eek: unwrapped each and every parcel (having to use new tissue paper and bag each time!!) still did not find nail!!! still haven't found it:eek:

There's a moral to this story somewhere:confused:

Come on you must have some better ones!!LOL:rotfl:

    many years ago my mum was selling a sunbed, the guy was on the phone for ages getting all the details, measurements, length etc etc, before his moment he had been waiting for 'is it big enough for us to have a ***** on?'

    I had the same request on some underwear I was selling. My husband said "give 'em to me, I'll wear 'em for a few hours!!!"

    He was a cheapskate, picked the lowest starting priced pair 99p, creeped me out the time - he went straight on blocked bidder list. Hubby said he'd wear them and send them, could start a new business.
