Tis Friday peasants. I won $20 on Lotto last night. Mind you I had three tickets all up. DOH !
I have a humorous tale to tell. On Wednesday and Thursday I forgot my hearing aids ( am old, am deaf....) which was a bit of a pain but not detrimental to my working day.
So on the way home I had to find an ATM and I found myself in Wynumm Plaza. I had to walk into the place a fair bit, not just pop up to the front as I had hoped. Well anyway on the way out a lady at the front of some shop ( she worked there ) said something to me, I got closer and said "pardon", she muttered something again, I said "sorry what ?" She said "would you like a free hearing test today ?"
Oh fuck the irony. I laughed and told her how I had forgotten my hearing aids two days running. She clearly didn't see the funny side and I'm wondering if she didn't believe me.
Cheerio, have a splendid day.

She 100% thought you were trying to be funny. How annoying that all those unoriginal jokes wore her out before your legitimate funny situation landed.
Source: Worked in customer service for a while. Hearing the same "funny" repeatedly was a bit of a trigger for me. Turns out I don't suit that role, as evidenced by accumulating more written warnings than anyone in the store's history. Turns out they're bluffing with that "3 written warnings" rule by the way. I had over a dozen. Ended up quitting because if I could not bare the thought of hearing the "Cheque, savings, or credit?"...."Savings... MORE LIKE SPENDINGS, AMIRIGHT? WOOOOOO" joke one more time......
