I wish I had a funny one to tell... The worst I've ever did was lock the key in the car because I was gaping at a woman's ass in Movietowne

[dragzster]

Jacked up Moms car to clean under the rear right sided wheel. The tyre was removed. Got a call, needed to go instantly so I jumped into car, start, put it in reverse then mash out.....skated about 15 ft and damaged a line of tiles in the garage. Not to mention the rear drum! Thankgoodness it was a B12.....easily and quickly fixed thanks to my late Grand father. Parents never got to know what happened. Just goes to show what happens to silly teenagers under panic situations. those were the days.

Riding around with a co-worker on some 'company business'. A stop brought me close to home so I stopped in. Got back to work and time to leave (6pm) realized that my car keys were missing. Thinking I'd left them home I travelled home and after turning the house upside down looking for them, the company security guard calls my cell asking why my car was still parked up in the lot & if everything was okay. I told the story...he made a check in my office and the keys were there in my desk drawer. DUHH!!!!

Hmm, well this one Christmas eve I was outside trying to paint the sliding gate. So I sat on my little chair and I there painting. Looked up at the sky and saw that it was just grey...rain wanted to fall, breeze real blowing and thing eh, but I say "forget that sheit, I not painting this any other time" so I going strong, start flickering the brush like I made painting, now the car was about 6 feet behind me and I was thinking about driving it up the driveway because of the rain, but I figured I'd do that after I painted...so I there painting like a hero and when I do turn around the car was white(I mean white, the entire back of the car was white...mind you the original color is BLUE! apparantly while I wsa flickering the brush, the breeze was just blowing back whatever flew off on the car) so I was like "sheit, sheit firetruck!" knowing my mom would MURDER me, so your boy run inside now to get something to take off the white paint, what I go draw for?THINNERS! meng...if my neighbour didn't stop to laugh at my stupid mc I would have been fawked up bad jed
