- Going out to buy something specific that I need, and then ending up ‘accidentally’ coming home with that dress that called to me from the shop window…
- Turning songs up really loud when I’m on my own in the house, and dancing around stupidly through the house to them. And then realising the window cleaner has seen most of the performance.
- Walking into the very snobbish designer shops, the kind that look down on you if you don’t look like you’re wearing thousands of £s worth of tat, and pretending to be very interested in the bank-breaking sunglasses. Getting to the point of opening my purse and saying - ‘Oh no, I’m out of cash! I’ll be back in a minute’. And then not going back, ever again.
- Pretending to be fast asleep when the ticket conductor comes along on trains.
- Annoying the heck out my male friends by walking into a fashion shop, spending ages walking round saying ‘ooh, that’s nice’, taking a good while in the changing room, then deciding not to buy anything. And then walking to the shop next door and repeating the same. Many, many times.
- As a rule, I hate, hate, hate romantic films, but I will watch ‘Love Actually’ on repeat all day. It feels so wrong.
- Getting on a bus filled with people, and casually extracting a medical journal from my bag, not really understanding half of what I’m reading, but looking as absorbed as possible, and throwing in a few good nods for added effect.
- Using 'big brown-eyed innocent face' when trying to deny I knew about something... when I did, and stupidly forgot.
- Knowing I have to get up at a certain time to do something, but hitting the snooze button anyway.
- Being the only female in a group of guys, and giving any other females in the vicinity the ‘ooooh yeeeeah’ look.
- Fridge-raiding.
- Guiltiest, guiltiest pleasure: being the one who drinks the least at a party. Yep, may sound pretty boring, but oh it is fun when you can decide to have an early morning vacuum of the rooms in which the other party-goers have crashed. Rise and shine!
… I, honestly, do not know how I live with myself.
Hope this gave you a laugh, it shocked me!![]()
