I asked my wife and she said that, in my case, it happened many years ago
in my 30s as well I left my passport in a taxi in Zargreb that I had got from the airport. I only noticed when checking into the hotel when they asked for it. They were able to get hold of the taxi driver from my recipe and he dropped it back, after two hours of worry and waiting for it. That was also the work trip the hard drive died on my laptop, luckily I had the important stuff save on a usb drive, but the only laptop they had to lend me was some really old laptop windows 95 or 3-11 that ran like a dog.
The toilets at the De La Warre Bexhill are like that. I took a few moments trying to get out as they have a really weird layout. I thought I was going batty but then another middle-aged chap came along and asked me if I knew the way out as he couldn't find it lol.
So, both of you two old ******* stuck in the lavatory then? Have you found your way out yet? Or have you found a real new 'friend'?
This is NSC, remember? Probably about the awfulness of Brexit. If it isn't, it probably soon will be!
) turned his phone’s fingerprint sensor off when he spent a night with an escort. Wealthy and he kept all his passwords on his phone, he was paranoid she might drug him to rob him overnight. Who said romance is dead?
Working at a school, surely you have your "emergency excuse mode" well tuned. Tell them that you split your coffee all over your trousers when the lights changed, but fortunately you had these (hopefully smart) jeans in the boot of the car and thought they would be better than trousers with a large wet patch.I teach at a primary school.
A friend and former colleague of mine used to be a postman in Seaford. One day he finished work, went home, had some lunch and then fell asleep on the sofa. He awoke with a start, everything was quiet and to his horror, he saw the time was 4:30. He rapidly had a bit of a wash, put his uniform back on and gobbled down his breakfast. Still in a bit of a stupor, he drove to the office, all the while wondering why there seemed to be so many people about just before 5 in the morning. It was only when he reached work, bang in the middle of town, that it dawned on him that it had been 4:30 PM and he'd only fallen asleep for a couple of hours!
That is 100% true. I teach at a secondary school and at the start of every year I am absolutely skilled at memorizing the names of 150+ new students. This takes me about three days. Unfortunately while I am successfully cramming the new names into my ageing brain, all of the names of students from the previous year simply melt away. This leads to countless embarrassing 'don't you know my name?' moments. The joy of it.
Absolutely spot on. I don't teach a specific class but instead teach at points, all the children in the school. There are even children who I have known 7 years whose name I forget. It simply isn't possible to remember a whole school, at least not for me. I hate those moments when a child asks the question you pose. You are right, it's embarrassing and they don't understand.
Oh dear. If you are middle aged and still wearing blue denim, you do indeed have a problem.
From my experience, both as a student and later as a parent of students, I think, yes they do. Always found it quite impressive.
