Yes/No. I did and when I was 2 miles down the road I turned around, my conscious was killing me, and went back. But they were gone. I was 16, just got my license.

Ever intentionally eavesdrop on co-workers?

Always. Isn’t that what they’re there for?

Ever done something lewd, either alone or with someone else, in a public place?

(You know what I mean by “lewd”. Use yor imagination.)

Yes, with someone else, in a public place (although it was a public place that was closed at that particular hour).  
Did you ever say something that was completely inappropriate while attempting to speak a foreign language?

Yes, I have, though if I attempted to repeat what I said, I don’t know how it would come out this time, either.

Have you ever heard anyone talking about you in another language, thinking that you couldn’t understand them, when in fact you could?

Yes. When I was in France, it happened all the time.

Have you ever thrown a rock at somebody’s head?

**drewboy: Ever intentionally eavesdrop on co-workers?  
Dire Wolf: Have you ever heard anyone talking about you in another language, thinking that you couldn’t understand them, when in fact you could?**

I can answer yes to both of these (from one instance).

Have you ever assumed a false persona online (or elsewhere, I suppose) and seriously tried to pass it off as your own?

(Now if THIS just isn’t a simulpost, we’re set)

Yup. Chat room several years ago. Used it to try to get people’s thoughts on me. Rather interesting.

Have you ever vomited and been able to tell what it was you threw up?

Yes. In one case, I think the tequila may even have been re-usable.

Have you ever deliberately told a lie to your SO?
