Betting yourself

**joxywoxy** · 31st May 2007

Whilst walking home from work tonite i bet i could keep a lime Tic-Tac in my mouth all the way home without eating it ..... and i won !!

I've done similar things with trying to prove Rowntree's Fruit Pastille's can be kept in my mouth without chewing

**joxywoxy** · 31st May 2007

I always bet myself stuff in work like:

I bet I can finish reading the paragraph before another call comes through or...

I bet I can get to the water cooler an refill my cup and back before the next call...

Just stupid shit like that, and usually there is some sort of reward like giving myself an extra minute on "Not Ready".

Sad as fuck like...

@ Ironfist, you've let it slip that you are one of the cnuts who harass us all with silly calls all day

I was in the same position till about 2 weeks ago. Even though i've got no money coming in, I can't tell you how good it feels to not have to back to such a demoralising and demeaning job.

I'm not having a dig, just saying don't stay there one day longer than you need to mate, trust me, it's not good for your head.

Haha, a little mistaken Carlover... I'm one of those cunts that gives you a tenner cos your eggs were broken when you got them delivered and "we" don't want you to get upset and cry to the daily star about it.

It was about 3 years ago that I was one of the cunts you're on about.

**Over Carl** · 1st June 2007

All good then, I think you can see how I arrived at my incorrect conclusion from ya previous post.

And all 100 boxes of eggs delivered here today were broken, what ya gonna do about that then?

**johnny** · 1st June 2007

Well, first off I'll refund you for the eggs, also your service charge, reschedule the eggs with a discounted service charge again and send you a couple of 10 quid eCoupons for your next order. That be ok with you?

I used to bet with myself all the time. It started off with silly things, two flies crawling up a wall, that sort of thing. Then I bought a roulette wheel from Tesco. Before I knew it, I was �50K in debt to myself. I lost my house, my job and I had to break both of my legs.

Lesson learned. It's a slippery slope JoxyWoxy, just be careful.

I once bet myself I couldn't keep a pineapple chunk in my cheek for an hour, turns out I could and the acid burnt a nice 1" ulcer in my cheek.

Pineapple chunk as in real pineapple, or pineapple chunk as in a sweetie?
And there's another thing, why are cola cubes cubes and pineapple chunks chunks. Surely they are the same sweet, just a different flavour?

(Can you tell it an hour to go home and I'm bored?)

i was just about to say the same thing, i tried the same stunt and ended up with the sweet stuck to my mouth and it wouldn't budge, when i managed to get it off it had left a right tender spot.
