When I was a kid, we'd sit in the back of the car chanting "Change green, change green" at the traffic lights. Always worked.
I did that recently on Oxford Road whilst on my bike. I was locked up for a month, but at least the walls were nicely padded. :biggrin:

We have loads of automatically-opening doors at work... I can't help myself, but I almost always click my fingers to 'make them open' ... even when there's nobody with me ;)

+1 Me too! I also do the "stay red" chant followed by "oh for God's sake" when they turn or stay green! :biggrin:

At work on Monday, I was minding the trikes outside while my colleague went in to fetch a jumper, and a lady asked me for directions. As I spoke to her, the other trike started to roll a little, I guess the wind caught it, and I looked over at it, and said "stay!", and it did, because the ground is pretty uneven and the front wheel just stopped in a tiny rut.

She must have thought I was mad...

Colleague #1 was feeding coins into one armed bandit with no result.
Colleague #2 after a few coins had gone in shoves him out of the way and says "I'll show you how it's done" puts one coin in and Kerching - wins x10.

Made a big impression on us all did that :smile:

Being middle class suburbanites that we were, my dad was the first in the street to install an electronic / remote operated up and over garage door. Having spent the morning rigging it up, he brought us kids out to have a go. French instructions spotted by little sister resulted in her being told that it was voice operated, and would only open to a loudly issued "ouvrir!!" Closure, of course, was triggered by an equally loud "fermer!!!"

There are two openers. One lives on the kitchen windowsill. The other lives near enough to dad to ensure the verbal commands are still observed. Thing is, she's 32 now, and she still yells at it.

Her kids have long rumbled it as a joke, but little sis continues to stand in the driveway shouting at the garage in French.

Mind you, she still thinks "Merde!" is French for "Sorry!!" and always makes a point of saying it on the Isle of Wight ferry.
