I was once asked was I sure? When told so and so didn't live here. No, I'm having a wild stab in the dark and would you believe it, he's just walked past me.

my reason for freaking out yesterday at work was:

"you need to get to your drop number 12 before midday, will it help if i reschedule your drops 16 and 17?"

the temptation to shout down the phone "are you some sort of cunt?!?!!?!?" was almost too strong to hold back

so i put the phone down twat

We were in Tesco once and a mate went up to the counter and said" can I have 36 first class stamps" to Which she replied "we only sell them in books of 12 now" Josh looked at me on amazement looked back and her and said "well you do the maths then flower" and she looked at him like he was a retard and said "didn't you hear me? We ONLY do them in books now" quite sarcastically. So he said back to her even more sarcey" well I better by 3 fucking books then. 3 books of 12 stamps yeah? 36 yeah" was so funny the look on her face. U could tell she was trying to add it up in her head.

Stranger"is that a real 500?"
Me "No it's just a 3dr cosworth"
Stranger"Well what's the differance?"
Me "Iff you don't know then I am not going to tell you but the biggest clue is that it says RS500 on the back & both sides"
I wouldn't mind but everyone who asks this has always got a mate who had a better one.

A couple of classics...

My mates mum asked if we could fax her a house key - she really though that the paper that came out of the fax machine was the actual bit of paper you fed in your end and so figured you could send they key via fax!!!

By brother worked for ntl and got a call. The caller had had a box fitted but the wire was longer than needed and she wanted it shortening so it wasn't so untidy, he says "i'll get an engineer to come out and trim it"

she says....

"can you not just pull it from your end" lol!!!

Back at my old work place, a lad goes out on a delivery to a block of flats, he needs flat number 72, he spent 20 minites going round and round the ground floor, then calls us and says "I need flat 72, the key pad only goes up to 9 !!! "try pressing the 7 then the 2 then press call you c*nt"

My ex once asked me if I got an electricity bill for the lights on my car.

Also asked me why I had orange milk (cos the OJ is in the same carton)

My current gf asked me to hang up a picture. I asked if the Walls were plasterboard, she said no they're just walls

Indeed, if all the people telling the stories were true then as the 500 is based on the number made, they would have to rename it to be the "Ford Sierra RS Eleventy Seven Million"
