The "Complete Goose Outta Yourself" thread.
Not so long back we decided to have a bit of a farewell get together with a group of our friends, as we were about to start our trip around the country .
During the afternoon my wife happens to bring up an event that happened to me a few years back. This was one of those events where you have made a “Complete Goose Outta Yourself”, and realise it about half a second after it happened and are looking for somewhere to hide.
Almost everyone at our get together told a story where they had made a “Complete Goose” outta themselves. And there were some classics.
Still confused ?? . Read on.
Here is my "Complete Goose Outta Yourself".
Ok, some years back I had been having a few problems with a computer. While walking along the main road I see a sign on the footpath saying “Computer Repairs”, cool, I thought, I will go and check them about. I walked into the shop and headed to their counter, they even had stools for the customers to sit on.
Anyhow a guy asks, “Can I help you”. Sure, I start talking to him about my computer and his responses are quite vague. After about 10 minutes or so of this, the guy tells me that they send their computers out to be repaired. I decided that these guys know jack crap about computers, got up off the stool and started to walk towards the door. I start looking at the posters on the walls and then it happened. I realised that I had just made a “Complete Goose Outta Myself”.
I had walked into a Flight Centre shop. [/I]:oops: Man I couldn’t get outta there fast enough, “don’t look back, walk fast, don’t look back, faster, go, go,c'mon, don’t look back”.
Thanks very much, Flight Centre guy. (I am being sarcastic), you could have told me I was in the wrong shop and the computer shop was upstairs. Did you really think I was some sort of nut and didn’t want to upset me?
So now I say, step forward forumites, and submit your, making a “Complete Goose Outta Yourself” story.
