Do you sometimes forget where you are?
Okay today was one of those days. I stopped off at the servo to put fuel in the bike, and when I pulled up I turned the bike off, got off the bike and as I swung my leg over I remembered that I hadn't put the stand down so like a pile of shite I hit the ground with the bike following me. So I pick my myself up and nearly having a hernia I pick the bike up. And you always look around to see if anyone saw you and to my horror 20 people are pissing them selves laughing at me.
Anyway I filled the bike up and went in and paid, and the attendant said something to me, and it reminded me of an add I'd seen, so I continued with the punch line for the add. However, the attendant looked at me as if to say 'what drugs are you on mate?'
So out I go feeling like more of a dick head, and make my way to work. Half way there I start pissing myself laughing, because I realised the add was an add I had seen in the UK of course he aint gunna know what I'm talking about..........
Dose this happen to anyone else or am I the only one? Or am I just an idiot?

Re: Do you sometimes forget where you are?
i know what you mean .. but more so when i'm at work
i work with a couple of indians, a couple of guys from the uk and a couple of aussies ... a simliar mix to back in the uk (bloody aussies .. they get everywhere
)
I can be working away in the office and forget that i'm actually in aus ... but at 5ish when i leave and i get to the car that is too hot to sit in .. and i drive down the road and across storey bridge .. i'm amazed i'm here ...
i'm sure sometimes people think i'm an idiot and i drive down the road smiling away to myself ...

i had to do a 180 degree turn in the road, round a traffic island. the road was on a steep hill and i had to stop half way round to wait for a car to come down the hill. well dipstick here decided i'd put my right foot down on the floor like i usually do, but forgetting 2 things. 1 the bike was tall and i could just about reach the floor with both balls of my feet, but that was on the flat. and 2,... yup i wasn't on the flat i was on a steep hill. so my right foot went down and down and ... noop too late by the time it hit the floor the bike was falling and there wasn't anything i could do but go with it.
me and the bike ended in in the middle of the road in a heap. Of course i'd just filled up with fuel, and the tank capacity on the beast was 25L, and it was also laying down hill so i had to lift it beyond the horizontal. i swear if there wasn't a car waiting, and people watching and laughing i wouldn't have been able to pick it up, but the pure embarassment of the whole thing gave me the boost i needed!
i still felt like a right pilllock though!

Re: Do you sometimes forget where you are?
If someone says "nice to see you" I just can't help myself saying "to see you nice". Fortunately in Perth a lot of people understand but there have been a few blank faces.

haha thanks for the laugh - at least when you drop your bike you can pick it up. When you a 5'6 female trying to lift a fully faired Suzuki SV650 after you have dropped it infront of the security office in a car park AND have to go in and ask for help cause you cant lift it yourself.......now that is embarrassing
