I confess I actualy did this:

When Worms came out a few years ago on the Amiga, without thinking I actualy went up to this nice looking girl behind the counter and said "Excuse me, do you have worms?"

Not the worlds greatest chat up line but it still makes me cringe just remembering it

What's your confession?

LOL!

This reminds me of a great story. It is a bit lengthy but definately worth the read.

Two friends of mine go to the same University. One of them is named Steve, the other is nick-named Ding. Since they both go to the same school and it takes about 4 hours to drive there from our hometown, when they come home for weekends they usually car pool. After one weekend they were on there way back to school and needed gas. Steve was driving so he stopped at a "gas station/convenience" store. He was also hungry so he decided that he was going to get a sandwich to go. Ding wasn't hungry so he waited in the car. When Steve came back to the car (with his sandwich) he told Ding that the store had the new "Big 10" issue of Playboy. Steve of course didn't have his ID with him so he couldn't buy it. Ding said, "Man, I really wanted that also. I'll go in and buy a copy for both of us." So, Steve gave Ding some mony for his copy and Ding started walking into the store. About halfway there Steve yelled over to Ding as he held his sandwich up in the air, "Hey Ding, can you grab me some extra napkins?"
So Ding walks into the store, and asks the lady behind the counter for 2 copies of the latest Playboy mag. The lady was a bit older and seemed pissy about letting him buy them. Then as Ding was about to walk away he remembered... So he proceeded to ask the lady for some extra napkins.
Ding goes back to the car and tells Steve that the lady inside was a real bitch about it. So Steve explains to Ding what he just did. He said, "Ding... Do you realise what you did? You just went into the store and asked the lady for 2 copies of playboy and some EXTRA napkins."
Needless to say, Ding was mad at Steve the rest of the way home.

I once walked into a sweet shop and asked the cute young woman behind the counter for an ounce of chewy schmee (was s'posed to say spearmint!).

Not so much of a confession, just a short tale.

Me and my girlfriend are walking out of the cinema, no doubt having just watched something girly (I'm under the thumb). As we're walking through the car park. We see a crappy little car pull up with two studenty birds inside. One of them opens the car door *bang* into the side of the car next to it. The girl (who was fat, and therefore stupid and/or clumsy) started to faff around and her rather attractive friend decided to take a look at the damage (isn't it odd how fat girls usually have attractive friends? For any girls reading - which one are you? )

Anyway - while they're umming and ahhing about what they've just done, I stroll up and unlock the car in question. If I wasn't so amused by the fact I saw all this unraveling at a distance, I'd have been pissed off.

Can I ask you a Question?
What is it?
It's an interrogative form of sentence, used to test knowledge. But that's not important right now.

I confess...

Some guy at work couldn't stop telling us how he had entered a competition to win a motorbike, and he had a really good chance of winning 'cos you had to write a small article and his was just "fantastic". He went on...and on..and on.

So...I passed all the details of the compo to a friend in another department. He called reception, got them to put him through, and commenced to tell the guy he had won. He went the whole nine yards, asking for his mother's maiden name for verification, and so on.

So he comes off the phone, and struts down the office. He says

"You'll never guess who that was on the phone!". I said,

"Let me guess, you've won a motorbike!"

"I certainly have!"

He didn't realise I'd just told him the content of his phone call. The guy who pretended to be from the mag was a nervous wreck, the whole thing was a cringeworthy experience...but funny, all the same.

John...we're sorry.

Back in High School, I typed up a realistic looking "Phone Call Verification Form." Being an office aid most of my Senior year meant that almost everyone that came in there to make a phone call was asked to fill it out. Quite a few people did, actually, even though it asked the stupidest of questions and read "thank you for your cooperation" three times. Of course, people started to realize what was going on, and I was forced to stop...

Destroy you with my mind, I could!

I Confess...

At a mates party, fairly recently, we all had a few drinks and i had been trying to court a fine lady for most of the night.
As my unsucesfullness finally dawned upon me, i gave up and just stayed away from her for the rest of the night...

Later (about 4am) when we were all just going to sleep, Zoe (the young lady i was trying to court) didnt have anywhere to sleep, so, Chris, my mate (the one whose party it was), offered for her to sleep with him in his double bed (they didnt intend to "get it on" or anything, it was just so she didnt have to sleep on the floor).

After about ten minutes, when all the lights were out and every1 was nodding off to sleep, Chris came out of his room and nudged us all awake (every1 except him and Zoe were sleeping in the loungeroom), he then proceeded to explain his "plan" that he had just thought of to us.

The plan was thus:
He hadn't turned the light on when he had gotten out of his bed (where Zoe was still lying) so it was almost pitch black.
He said, "Ok, i dare one of you to go in there and jump into bed with Zoe... She wont know its you, she'll think it's me..."
Natuarally, i happily agreed to do it (this was my chance with her). He suggested that i jump into his bed and slowly make a move on her. so... i did...

After about ten minutes, with every1 just outside the door of the bedroom (it was so obvious), i finally managed to get to just within kissing her, she made a move to kiss me, but i backed away (i had an attack of drunken morality) and said, in Chris's voice "Hang on, ill be right back".
I then got up, and went out of the room, and told the guys what had happened, and then Chris went back to his room and jumped into bed with Zoe, who, thinking it had been him the whole time, tryed to kiss him, but he said "no" and just rolled over...

True story... Zoe still doesnt know

It's getting cold in Minnesota. However, me and my friend decided to go do a few tricks on the trampoline I have outside. Being quite chilly I commented: "Gosh it's cold in here."

Then he looked at me very funnily and we commented in unison: "Here's something good to contribute to the confessions thread."

Ok, I got one now ..

I confess ...

This weekend I ended up in a lock-in at a girls birthday party (for the non-british contingent, a lock-in is when a pub closes (by law) but you get locked inside and get pissed off your nutt for free until morning when you have to settle up with the landlord unless you cheekily escpae without keeping a tab).

Uhh, but anyway. I confess I was in a lock-in and I didn't drink anything, cos I was already too wasted. I then played my umpteenth game of pool and ripped the felt on the table with a drunken swurve shot before vomitting in the mens urinal.

So all in all, a complete waste of a lock-in.

I shall hang my head in shame.
