    I had a slightly less than average sleep last night due to the heat and when i woke up i went and made myself tea. I got tea bags from the press and milk from the fridge. I made the tea and put the tea bags in the fridge and the milk in the press..

    Just went to the toilet, lifted the seat, took care of business, turned on the mirror light, washed my hands and left.. sat down at the pc to work.. then realised i didnt flush, i turned a light on instead.

    I do stuff like this all the time in the morning.. It really makes me question if i should be driving a car to work at all!

    I read somewhere once that drinking tea in hot climates actually has a cooling effect on the body.

    Isn't tea originally from warmer climates?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,165 ✭✭✭DEmeant0r


    Yes Rob, the tea plant originated from China.

    I sprayed myself with shaving foam instead of deodorant one morning. Was pretty funny actually as the wife was brushing her teeth at the time.

    Yep.

    Apparently if you drink a hot drink it is absorbed by your body easier so you won't just sweat it straight out again.

    If you drink a cold drink your body works harder to process it as it's not a suitable temp. Leastways that's what I was told.

    Major hassle in the office one morning long time ago ...... butter was missing from the fridge.

    All desks were searched ... fridge cleared out .... fingers were pointed at usual suspects.

    Some days later it was found in the .......... microwave.

    I put my sunglasses on my head while at the top of the Eiffel Tower a few years ago. Was looking down to the ground for a few minutes, then realised I had no idea where my sunglasses were - they weren't on my eyes, hooked onto my collar, in my bag... I went and bought a new pair while on the phone telling someone how my sunglasses must have fallen off the tower. I then went to the bathroom. To find my glasses. Still on my head.

    :rolleyes:

    Wow - you've got a 'usual suspects' line up for stolen butter? What sort of place do you work in?

    One morning while still half asleep I ordered a taxi and went outside to wait for it. When the taxi arrived I hopped in and told him go to the airport. He muttered somehting and I was like - 'to the airport' he kept muttering and saying 'out'. I was so confused. Turned out he was just a random guy driving down the road.

    Once my friend did something similar when drunk and he was so aggresive the guy and his daughter took him home. When he got home he took out money and they were saying no just get out you psycho. Only then did he cop.

    A friends of mine was working for a construction company in Dublin and they got a new labourer for a few days work from a temping agency. They were told he had very little English but that he was a good worker, and that he would be at a certain corner waiting to be picked up at a certain time. So at that time they went to the corner, ushered the guy into the van and drove off to work. at lunch time the boss realisingt that the guy was no use at all rang the temp firm to complain and thats when he found out that the temp was actually five minutes late at the crossroads and after waiting for half an hour went home. It turns out the guy they picked up was just some random stranger off the streets and that there was a meaning to what he was jabbering on about whilst being ushered into the van!

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,180 ✭✭✭Mena


    My mother went to the drive in with some guy, went to get pop corn, came back, got into the wrong car. That guy became my Dad.

    I don't feel so bad putting the kettle in the refrigerator anymore.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,194 ✭✭✭Andrewf20


    Im guilty of the sugar in the fridge vs milk in the press action.

    Or how about taking a trip to the Kitchen to get salt and pepper, but instead make yourself a cup of tea, then go back to the food to then realise you complete forgot the salt and p.

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,073 ✭✭✭sam34


    i remember heating up my dinner in the microwave once, it was in a casserole dish and when it was done instead of pouring it onto my plate i just turned the dish upsidedown and SPLAT! it was all over the floor

    Washing hair with shower gel.

    Talking about NOT ordering something (e.g. sandwich, icecream etc) and then ordering it because its on your mind.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 21,191 ✭✭✭✭Latchy

    Was it in the old Farthing Wood comics? That's where I first heard it. Reason is supposedly because it makes you sweat more, cooling your body more quickly.
