Things you've done/known for years only to find out they are wrong

One Bloody Number
Inspired by that viral that went round a few weeks ago about the guy who used to use the toilet with the seat up, even when doing a number 2 as he thought that's what all blokes did and that's why women make a fuss about us leaving the seat up.

What things have you done for most/part of your life, or things you've thought were fact, that have turned out to be wrong.

I can think of 2. One for me and one for someone I know.

My one.....

When I was at cubs I used to be quite good at chess and used to play in chess tournaments. Must have been playing for a couple of years, and played in several tournaments, and the whole time I would be moving my 'prawn' around the board.

When one of the other kids had the gall to tell me they were actually called 'pawns', I told him he was an idiot and pulled a mong face. it was only when I got home and asked my dad that I realised he was right and I was a dick.


The 2nd one... a girl I know used to think chimney's were called Chimley's up until the age of about 22!!!

 
Rossie - good to see you!!!! I thought you'd have been on to see us about the probe they named after you!!!

Back to Deano's question - the main problem I have is with song lyrics. I can go years singing the wrong words in the car. I have done it hundreds of times.
 
Yeah, bit of rape and a bit of murder for me really. Read a book on the Vikings, thought it was par for the course and ... well, apparently it was wrong.

Was there a bit of pillaging in there as well? I've always liked a good pillage.
 
Oh don't tell me pillaging is also now considered wrong? If so, I've got a hell of a lot of stuff I'm going to have to return.

Is there no fun left in this world?!

 
Dancing was my downfall:

The DJ played rock'n roll..I rocked and rolled.

The DJ played Jump...I jumped.

The DJ played Come on Eileen...and they threw me out.

I'm wracking my brains to remember anything I've ever done wrong but to be honest, it isn't very likely really is it? What with me being a genius and all that.

Omnipotent is what you are guv'nor init :14:
I was once told I was impotent so I started wearing a suit and tie to look impotent.
 
I always thought the saying was "as calm as a milkpond "for about 35 years I couldn't work out what a milkpond was until I seen a famous painting of a millpond.
 
Sir Chewalots thought in 1992/93 season when we finished second to Utd we'd be their main rivals for years. The deluded idiot
 
Sex, i always thought you put it in there ear but struggled as her earhole was too big anyway!

The more snippets you let out Clive, the more rounded a picture forms in my mind.......
You don't have ponies living in your house do you? :17:
