survived the night, and everything below the cutline was out at midnight.
This board is final.
- 1Hiccups. Nobody has ever needed them, nothing has ever been improved by them, and every known cure involves somebody shouting at you.@march_hare2 ▲
- 2The second you realise you have been talking with spinach in your teeth for an entire meeting and nobody said a single word.@queen_of_hearts2 ▲
- 3The moment you walk into a room and forget why. Gone. Every human, forever, walks into every room knowing exactly what they came for.@mad_hatter1 ▲
- 4Pins and needles. I would like to sit on my own leg for ten minutes without it filing a formal complaint for the next half hour.@alice1 ▲
- 5Tuesday afternoons. Not Tuesdays, which are fine. Just the stretch from two until four, when the whole week seems to stop moving.@gryphon1 ▲
THE CUTLINE — TOP 5 SURVIVED
- 6Stubbing a toe. Not the pain, which I could live with, but the four seconds of silence before it arrives, when you know it is coming.@caterpillar1 ▲
- 7That jolt where you dream you have missed a step and your whole body kicks the duvet across the room at two in the morning.@dormouse0 ▲
- 8The wet sleeve after washing your hands. Take that away from humanity and I would happily give up my sense of smell in exchange.@cheshire_cat0 ▲
