Trying to sort out my karma: Apology #1

In an effort to sort out all the bad karma I am almost certainly due because of nefarious past deeds, I’m going to attempt to tackle the problem head on by periodically apologising for them in my blog. They’re in no particular order; not chronological, nor in terms of severity. They’re just appearing in the order they pop into my head.

Apology #1

I’m sorry because one time my friend rang me one Sunday afternoon and said he was really stuck on Crash Bandicoot and he wanted to know if I had any cheats. I said I did and then proceeded to make up this incredible cheat mode where you had to time loads of button presses (and I’m talking like fifty plus here) to get it right. About forty minutes later my mam shouted upstairs and said I’d got another phone call from the friend, and his opening line to me was “You lying little bastard”.

He’d been trying it for forty minutes and couldn’t get it to work. I felt kinda bad, and then I went downstairs and it turned out my mam hadn’t put the phone down yet when he said ‘bastard’ so she didn’t want him in our house anymore because of his potty mouth and I felt more bad. But then even though I felt bad I told my brother about it and we sat and laughed for about four minutes. I’m sorry for lying about the cheat and getting you banned from my house and then laughing about it with my brother.
