Have I left the iron on? Have I lost my travelcard? What if I get a penaulty fare? Did I lock up this morning?

Sorry everybody, that was a brief glimpse at my inner monologue. This is how it is for me, every second of every day.

Unless I am drunk, that is: then my inner monologue is just 'WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!'

Anyway, are you a worrier, too?

I really ought to be worried about my spelling. Penalty points for me! Anyway, new answers.

― Will, Monday, 12 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

you spelled 'WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!' perfectly

Very much an unworrier, though certainly there will be moments when I go 'Blerk!' or the equivalent. Usually what happens then is that the problem is solved or that everything is rationalized. Somehow this latter approach hasn't been much of a problem...

Very much a worrier though only really in the sense you describe (Did I remember to set my alarm clock? Have I got my keys? I just need to check my alarm again... &c) though apart from those minor worries and the occasional "I've got a sore throat - am I going to die?" moment, I never worry about anything. Nothing BIG ever worries me (because I can't understand anything big)

I worry about leaving windows open, leaving the oven on, leaving fires on etc...

i've managed to forget my keys three times in three months, so now i'm always worrying about that. actually this only started happening when i started carrying a bag. nothing else bothers me much. i don't usually even check for tix on plane journeys.

I wear my keys round my neck on a boot lace, so luckily I don't forget them often!

― james, Monday, 12 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Is the faucet off? Hold the hand under for twenty seconds. Is the door shut and the light off? Check three times. Is the locker properly shut? Try it until your friends give you angry looks. Etc.

Am I awake?

AWRY?

― Frogman Henry, Wednesday, 26 September 2007 09:39 (eighteen years ago)

basically i came from lee, a small station in zone 3, but in order to lop 2 quid off the ticket i said i'd come from lewisham, a bigger station in zone 2. karma struck and repaid me tenfold (as it generally does) when the ticket 'warden' standing by pointed out that there were adequate facilities at lewisham for me to have bought a ticket.

i then stormed away, hurling a profanity or two in his direction, and was reprimanded by an officer for foul and abusive language. then i had to pay the fine.

― Just got offed, Wednesday, 26 September 2007 09:40 (eighteen years ago)

the fifth google result for 'foul and abusive language' is the Cambridge University Boat Club website. i think this sums up my attitude towards them very neatly.

― Just got offed, Wednesday, 26 September 2007 09:41 (eighteen years ago)

was this your cop poppage, so to speak?

― Frogman Henry, Wednesday, 26 September 2007 09:42 (eighteen years ago)

obscenity? do tell us MORE.

― nathalie, Wednesday, 26 September 2007 09:44 (eighteen years ago)

coppage

― onimo, Wednesday, 26 September 2007 09:45 (eighteen years ago)

it was, fortunately I didn't get a criminal record or anything, in fact the cop was very nice and chatted about south east london for a while before letting me go.

the obscenity was nowt more than a hoarse "FUCK OFF", perhaps repeated for emphasis. i am ashamed.

― Just got offed, Wednesday, 26 September 2007 09:46 (eighteen years ago)

I once saw a teenager running over the rails to avoid the cops. Stupid fucking moron. He could have died.

― nathalie, Wednesday, 26 September 2007 09:48 (eighteen years ago)

ten months pass...

Ned, I like that you 'Blerk!'
