    That moment when you teach yourself how NOT to make home-made curry pot noodle. But it probably nuked all the germs that have been hanging around in your throat for the last three weeks, so it's all good.

    That moment when your boyfriend thinks the aforementioned curry noodle situation is the most hilarious thing ever.

    That moment when you find yourselves shopping for ear plugs, because you're going to be in the choir for three Christmas services this year, and the drums are going to make your damaged left ear hurt like an absolute sod.

    TMW you put a log in the log burner only to discover its too large to close the door but it catches fire before you can remove it and you wind up jabbing it with the poker like a demented spearman in order to squeeze it the last millimetre to get the door shut

    That Moment When...

    -> You have a dream that Robin Williams came back to life as Bernie Sanders and tried running for the presidency.

    -> You are writing your fantasy and when your MC asks who she should call someone after learning he's not who she thought he was, he replies with, "You may call me [insert name of your IRL employer]" instead of his actual name.

    -> In that same scene, your MC (a fourteen-year-old girl) describes the man well into his late 30s by saying, I paused and studied his physique; he certainly had the musculature. You quickly scrap that because it seemed a little too creepy.

    TMW I realise that I take my good long time writing this story because I love spending time with my characters - and each word brings me closer to 'The End', so why should I speed it up? :rolleyes:

    Why do you think I'm planning a series :D

    also don't get too attached to your characters as that impedes killing them

    I was mortified when I had to have Ozzy blow himself up to save Blade and Chris

    TMW you have nearly finished this bloody story again, but you are that || close to starting again because.... things. I honestly don't think I can finish anything.
    So, someone hold me to this, I will put up this story in the workshop by next week, or if anyone is interested in drivel, have it read over. You can think up my punishment if I don't.

    That moment when you just want everyone to sod off for the afternoon so you can belt out Let It Go while you decorate the Christmas tree.

    TMW you happen to utter a truth and no one is around to hear it.

    Does it sound, or even ring through ?

    That moment when....
    You're having a bit of a steamy banter over the phone with your partner only to find out your family heard you.

    TMW you buy a new oil filled radiator and the instructions are written in chinglsh - Apparently in assembly I have to "ascertain the wheels to the framings with skillful wisdom" while later I was pleased to hear that I could be "inspired that the device is incorporated with a plug for usages" but I was warned that it is not suitable for "usages in wettings, downpours or other crisis"

    My dad was a tool freak and insisted on a flathead, phillips, and needlenose pliers in every single room so he didn't have to rescue anyone.

    That moment when you realize your sports team is about to win the championship, then realize that you would rather they don't so your city doesn't riot.

    TMW you change your avatar to a selfie you took.

    TMW you want to announce to the world that you are John Flukinger.

    TMW you wonder what the consequences are, and TMW you don't care.

    Recalculating...
    TMW you go to a job interview for a delivery job and the interviewer says: "I see you got a drivers license, but do you have a motorbike?"
    TMW you answer: "I also got a washing machine. Will that do?"

    TMW you go to another job interview for a call center and the interviewer tries her best to throw you a "bone" by saying the following: "You know that by today's standards the minimum wage is 360 eu." She looks you straight in the eyes like she is a sympathizer and after that ridiculous pause she continues, "In our company we try to keep our employees more compensated for their time and energy in order to build a friendly environment and also to keep a motivated group, so we pay 408 eu for 5X6 hours or 450 eu if you wish to work full time (5X8 hours)."
    TMW you are trying your best not to laugh in her face and tell straight up: "I know what you're doing bitch, so cut the crap. Just give me the damn job already and we'll take it from there. I promise not to slaughter anybody." I really hope I hid my true intentions well this time. I practiced upon that. This was oh so expected, nevertheless this moment... This specific moment always gets me. At least I tried my best...

    I am so pissed off today! F@$&*%#! ^&#* @#$&%^!!! %&^+#@ #$*(&%%^ $# $%^&# ^%*&* ers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
