Damn, I just made a schoolboy error 
My swivel chair that I spin erratically on whilst coding is about to bite the bullet so I put it in the car and threw it on the scrap heap a few miles down the road. I then drove 20-25 minutes to PC world just near the Manchester United football stadium and found a chair I wanted.
I got to the checkout and the nice lady scanned the barcode and I handed her my credit card.
Oh crap. It was a new card and as I handed it over to her I realised I hadn't signed it. Obviously she spotted that instantly and said I'd need to sign it, so I thought well that's no problem and asked her for a pen.
Erm, she then decided to call over her supervisor and he told me they couldn't accept a card signed in front of them...hm...so I said well can I take your pen outside and sign it there
To cut a long story short, they wouldn't accept the card unless I had something else with my signature on to show them - I didn't.
ARGH. So I came home and now I have to go back again unless I want to sit on the floor

I carry mine round with me all the time. Just in case I need to pop into the off-license to buy some drink; or even when the police pull me over (got pulled 2 times in one night yesterday...very scary). Turned out both of them were for nothing major, but they still like to see your license (one was for speeding, but they had to go off to an emergency call, so they didn't bother booking me 
. The other one was cos someone had been riding around the playing fields on a quad bike, so they 'assumed' we knew something about it...lol).
