OK here is one I learnt the other day.
If its freezing cold, sub-zero temperatures, but you feel a strong desire to eat a McDonalds meal, and you walk out to the driveway and trudge through a layer of snow and ice, start the engine of the car, get out the de-icer, spray the windscreen and rear window with de-icer, sit inside and put the fans on, all so that you can get to the McDonalds drive-thru that you are badly craving, despite the freezing cold and ice and snow, all you can think of is MaccyD's which is just five minutes drive from your home, and you sit inside the car, your breath is freezing, it reminds you of when you were a kid and you pretended to be smoking when you were walking to school with your mates, because your freezing breath looks like cigarette smoke, but anyway, you're so impatient to get your McDonalds that by now you are fantasising about ordering a quarter pounder with cheese meal (large, of course) and 9 chicken nuggets, you're starving, your mouth is watering, so much so that when the de-icer makes most things visible through the windscreen, you don't bother de-chilling the whole car, you just drive carefully and steadily but briskly to the McDonalds drive-thru, by now you are salivating with the thought of all that beef and chicken and french-fries and cheese and gherkin and sweet curry and barbecue sauce dip.
If you ever find yourself in that situation, can I just suggest that you learn from my experience, and don't forget to also de-ice your drivers window, so that when it comes to giving your order to the McDonalds drive-thru intercom, your electric window isn't so frozen with ice that it won't fucking open, it jams, doesn't budge, and you swear like a motherfucker, as you hear the woman on the ordering intercom repeat hysterically, 'hello - hello - can i take your order please - can i take your order please', until you have to open the door and get out of the car and speak into the intercom, as other customers in the drive-thru queue behind you laugh at your arse.
I'm just saying, think about these things, if you ever find yourself in that situation.
