What have you done today to make you feel proud??

Thought I was being nice and helpful on Monday, but apparently not.

Going up the escalator coming out of Victoria tube station, the chap in front of me had a backpack on and the zip on one of the pockets was open with his iPad clearly visible. So I tapped him on shoulder and asked him, did he know it was open as someone could easily have nicked his ipad without him knowing, and I just got a volley of verbals back telling me not be so ****ing nosey looking in his bag

A five year old thread, with only 79 replies. What a miserable load of bleeders we must be...

I would have been tempted to do a 'Kirstie' and take it out and throw it down the bloody escalator!

I repaired our automatic cat flap the other day. You know the one where only your cat can get in the house as it recognises his chip.

There's a local cat who is thick as mince having been slightly brain damaged at birth. He can't help himself trying to get into our house to the point where he'd smashed his head against our cat flap that much that one of the plastic bits that keep the door closed wouldn't work properly.

The Mrs had got to the stage of "**** it, just buy a new one" so I decided on a shit or bust attempt at taking it apart and seeing if I could fix it (knowing I'd probably bugger it beyond repair).

About an hour later, I'd found a tiny bracket/hinge thing that needed refitting to exactly the right place, put all the mechanism back together and replaced the fascia. BOOM, it worked

Been strutting round the house like a Don since.

I was working at an Optometrists when a man came in with his daughter, supposedly to pick up some glasses for her.
She was about 13/14 years old.
I overheard him explain to the owner that he had just been made redundant and was struggling to make ends meet, so couldn't afford the glasses and apologised.
I could see how disappointed the girl was, the owner told me, after they had left, that the girl was so excited and took ages at the eye test picking a frame that was just right.
I imagined her struggling at school and saw how upset she was, so I paid the $150 for them just before I left.
The owner wanted my details etc. to let them know who paid, but I wouldn't give them to her as I prefer anonymity.
So don't tell anyone, right.

If you were working there how come the owner didn’t know who you were?
