Meme: Ten Things I Will Never Do

Ten Things I Will Never Do

I’ve tagged by Alan from Random Burblings to inform every one of 10 things I will ‘never’ do in my life time.

1) Enjoy an Adam Sandler Movie:
I have never found Adam Sandler funny and I never will. I am still scarred from the time I was forced to watch ‘Little Nicky.’ That movie stole time from my life that I want back. I look forward to the day when audiences can sue the makers of bad movies. I’ve got a long list ready.

2) Be a morning person:
I can never wake up in the mornings and I don’t like coffee. I just stumble around for a while like a zombie in search of the shower and pass out again on the train to work.

3) Think Paris Hilton is a talented person and a good role model for the youth of today:
I’m not even going to start on this subject. I’ll only get angry and burn down every store stocking copies of her album.

4) Remember my college summer ball:
Drinking student punch at a pre-ball party is not a good idea. They make it very strong. My only memory of the actual event is waking up in a hallway in the recovery position after my friends had put me there. I was up and about again in time for the last song.

5) Understand how to use a Mac:
I’ve tried. I really have but I can not work them out. PCs might not be perfect but neither are Macs. I also don’t like the way a Mac is more like a fashion statement then a computer or Apples patronizing and inaccurate representation of PC users. Can’t we all just get along? If a Mac user ever tries laughing at me because my PC is not cool I just make them cry by asking when they will be getting the latest games release.

6) Be able to dance with out having a few drinks first:
It’s not easy getting the ‘sober and embarrassed vs. drunk and stupid’ balance right but when it is achieved I can dance the night away with out feeling shy or falling down.

7) Approach a lists like this seriously:
It’s just not in my nature.

8) Work in food retail again:
For a lot of my college life I worked part time in Iceland (the frozen foods store and not the country). I hated every second of it.

If you do not believe the old truth that the worst thing about working in retail is the customers (followed quickly by the employer) then I have a story to tell you. An old man once approached me and asked where he could find our ice-cream. It was a rule that we had to show customers to the location of something rather then simply point out the direction. As I led the way I suddenly felt his hand brush across my ass. It was worrying but it seemed like it could have been an accident coursed by walking too close, an embarrassing but innocent mistake. Then it happened a second time and there was definite feeling. I started walking a lot fast in a panic, pointed out the ice-cream and kept on going. My pace got even quicker when I heard him ask if I would reach into the freezer and get him an ice-cream from the bottom. To hell with customer satisfaction.

9) Be able to think of a number 9 in the list of 10 things I will never do:
I’m drawing a blank… um… I’ll never have an army of robot zombie mice. There you go.

10) Spell dyslexic with out the aid of a spell checker:
Dyslexix, dyslxix, deslxic….. bugger.

Stuart

Stuart is an accident prone Englishman who has been living in the Netherlands since 2001. Even his move to the country was an unintentional accident, the result of replying to a cryptic job advertisement he found one day in a local British magazine. Since then he has learned to love the Dutch (so much so that he married one of them) and now calls the country home. He started the blog Invading Holland in 2006 as a place to share his strange stories of language misunderstandings, cultural confusions and his own accident prone nature.

  5. Tenakalaz says:

    Jodie, Join us, be one of us. Come to the side of darkness, ganking and carpal tunnel.

  6. Jodie says:

    Tenakalaz, I’m almost afraid to ask.. but what is Ganking?

  7. Jodie says:

    I liked Stu’s version better! I dont want to be killed by level 60!! I’m too young to die :(

  8. Invader_Stu says:

    Now to show my true nerd:

    Ganking is when one player steals something that was meant for another player. It is also known as ninja looting. Usually it happens when a team of players decide one member should take a item from a chest because they need it but someone else from the team takes it with out permission and leaves.

  9. Tenakalaz says:

    Stuart, how wrong you are,

    Ganking = Gang Killing.

    It used to refer to a group of people picking on opnne person, it has now evolved into anyone who kills players of lower levels for fun.

  11. Invader_Stu says:

    Jodie – Tenakalaz might be drugged up but he is right. Wiki lied to me.

    ChickyBabe – Not any more. Will it still respect me in the morning?

  12. Rose says:

    No one ever tags me. I did not know that you do these Memes Stu? I’ll keep that in mind for next time I need to tag someone.

  13. Invader_Stu says:
