The worst feeling in the world...

[zazen999]

Actually, one of the worst feelings in the world is sitting down to chair a V important meeting; and realising that said moon cup has shifted position...and you know you aren't gonna be able to break for the next 3 hours.....

Luckily, I don't chair important meetings any more since I downshifted...

Few months ago, put my hand in a bag of potting compost and didn't realise a large toad had taken up residence in it. Most things I'm fine with most small furry/reptile things, even our resident snakes but for some reason toads really give me the whatnots.

Large built ex-rugby playing, sometime policeman makes loud exclaimation and retreats very fast! Then had to get a large pot to put it in to let it loose elsewhere in the garden.

But I can top myself: another chutney injury ... I chopped chillies bare-handed. Next word is "mooncup". Fill in the gaps yerselves

Oh yikes - my eyes are watering at the thought

Ooooow yuck. I've done similar when a massive storm knocked out the electric and I ran outside in the excitement(?!) in the pitch back into a slug orgy. It seemed everywhere I put my foot there was a slug (shudder) The slime is really hard to wash off.

Worst for me was putting my shoes on after being to my bro's house. Bare feet slipped into tight shoes, something wriggling under and in front of toes.

Lots of jumping around, yelling (shrieking / squealing more like) shoe flipped off to revel half dozen escaped crickets all crammed in the toe area. (He keeps them as food for various lizards, toads, snakes etc). Blurgh!

7 months pregnant putting boots on, theres what feels like a sock in the toe of them. Tipped boot up and out drops mousie who makes fast escape under the fridge.

At this point picture very short VERY round Fi on a chair shrieking like the maid in Tom and Jerry! Not sure how I didnt go into labour then and there

anyone else trodden in cat vomit with bare feet????

No but I have trodden in dog muck in bare feet when coming downstairs once.

It squelched inbetween my toes and I had to hop back upstairs to the bathroom, the air was blue!

Bare feet and cat sick.......................!

lol, how did I miss this?!

My worst feeling (you know, the feeling in your stomach when you KNOW you've done bad) was updating a database, missing off a "where" criteria - wiping out over a million payment details. Gut feeling was baaaaaaaaad.

No worries, I'll restore from a backup before anyone notices.

Backups have been failing for over a month. Feeling in my Gut drops below my feet - I felt like crying. On then checking why we'd not been alerted of backups failing, I find the email services for all internal comms and the like has been down over a month too.

That was a bad feeling. Oh and then hearing that this mishap cost the place where it happened (won't say anymore ) over £1m made me feel quite bad. I must be the worlds best liar, as I've no idea how I still was there after that incident

Nothing, so far as topped that feeling for me! I'm now *extra* cautious before I do any large database updates, I even double check backups before I do it hehe
