Minor Strangeness (IHTM)

[bugmum]

Right- I've asked politely.
If I open the cupboard door and it's there, I'm going to have a damn heart attack.

They're often not that subtle.

 

[escargot]

Having lost two items lately, I would like to try this.
Is there any particular protocol involved when asking?

We have threads on asking t'piskies to find lost stuff or summat.

I thought we did somewhere, but seeing as Iris mentioned it, it was as easy just to ask here.

@Aydee_Aitchdee - Nothing as yet.

Have you tried bribes?

You aren't fully frustrated in not finding the articles yet. The little people haven't had their fun.

I'll try again tomorrow.

Or they have nothing to do with it

And in reality it's demons

"Demons" are just fairies playing dress-up.

I wear some badges at work, mostly serious but there's a jokey one. Today I noticed it was dangling loose and adjusted the pin to tighten it.
It later went missing and I thought dammit, should 'ave put it away safe!

Searched all my bags/pockets etc in case it'd become caught somewhere, no joy.

Eventually knocked off and went home, and there was the badge on the sofa.

Either it fell off at home before I left for work and I just imagined I'd been wearing it, or it it fell off at work and caught on my clothes, or it came loose at work and teleported home.

I'm currently missing one but I have asked nicely and no sign so far. I reckon it's been hoovered up at work.

Could you tip the Hoover bag out? I've found things like that.

Oh, this was over a week ago, and I don't know the cleaner well enough to go rummaging through his bag.

 

[PeteS]

I'll try again tomorrow.

You prob pee'd off the fairies with your various shenanigans young Floyd. Have you tried putting your fingers in your ears turning round 3 times all the while shouting "Codfanglers". Essential to film it and put it on here so that we can tell whether you are doing it right.

Here's a chance to get to know him better.

What era do you think bugmum lives in?

 

[escargot]

It'd be an industrial hoover/vacuum cleaner. They have bags.
Source: have worked as a caretaker.

I don't know, but I suspect that it's the other way around.

 

[bugmum]

Considering that the In-House GP does most of the hoovering at home, definitely the 21st century!

As I've mentioned before hoovering can be dangerous (Ms Me's broken finger). I hope you warn IHGP of the consequences of such activity, although may be you take the view that he can heal himself.

 

[Eyespy]

I had a friend who broke a collar bone and chipped an elbow doing laundry, another dislocated a knee cap picking herb’s for Sunday lunch. I bruised my shoulder and cut my ear dusting the landing.

Housework is dangerous, just say “NO” and delegate.

I once pulled a thigh muscle by turning over funny in bed. Had to put a frame round the bog to lean on because the leg wouldn't support my weight.

 

[Stormkhan]

T'missus pulled a muscle in her knee by getting out of bed to snoop out of the window at some argument in the street.

 

[ChrisBoardman]

Time for that picture of the train that has fallen down the ravine.

TOTALLY worth it.

 

[Stormkhan]

Not really.
Nothing to be seen and we ended up calling an ambulance to have her checked over that night.

Not a train exactly, but definitely off piste:

Not really though. It is strangeness that you can do sometimes serious damage to yourself doing simple, ordinary, things.

Yup, a bloke I knew who was doing up a bathroom smashed the toilet bowl ready to remove it. His helpful girlfriend reached over it when sweeping up the bits and caught her forearm on a sharp edge.

It tore a long deep wound and she had months of treatment for damaged tendons and nerves and all sorts. I'm not sure she ever regained full use of her hand. All for the sake of tidying up.

Bit daft smashing it up considering a toilet isn't exactly heavy.
Cast iron baths however are a different story and the shards on those things are lethal.

Yup, I'd've lifted it out while. Maybe left it on @Swifty's doorstep overnight.
