Day in the Life of Bob - Waiting for Delivery vs. Going to the Toilet

bobwilson

i was expecting a delivery and as usual I've been toying with the idea of going to the toilet. Knowing god would wait until i was on the toilet, I pretended i was going. I sat on the loo and Waited a few minutes. Still no delivery. Went downstairs and checked out window to see if the delivery is nearby. Nothing. Ran to toilet and tried to get poo out in 2 seconds. During those 2 seconds, the doorbell rang with delivery

Just because you don't, don't assume we all don't.

Nah i think it's more a vent spleen moment knowing that everyone who reads it knows that exactly the same thing (or something very similar) has happened, sods law dictates that when you're waiting for something and you do something else, even momentarily which is a part of your day (toilet, eating, reading a book) then the thing you're waiting on WILL happen.

Last time round it was waiting on someone to fix the oven, i'd just put my lunch on - always good for a laugh!

you care about somebody going to the toilet for a poo?

You missed the point. It wasn't about somebody going to the toilet for a poo, it was the irony of waiting all day for the doorbell to ring and then it ringing as soon as you're unable to answer it. But I think you knew that...

Like I said upthread, Sod's Law.

I think Marmite's just cruising for a bruising.

I found it rather amusing.

And rather graphic...

I've not had a single delivery in the last month where I wasn't on the toilet!

Some days I wait the whole day until 8pm to go to the toilet - and then the delivery is a day late - and arrives the next day when I AM on the toilet!

I'm telling you, there is some force at work.
