Have you ever freaked yourself out?

Have you ever freaked yourself out?

I did last night! I can laugh about it now, but at the time I froze for 2 minutes.

Before I went to work, I put descale around the toilet, and left it, with toilet seat up. The plan was when I came home, I would go around with the toilet brush, then flush, before doing anything else.

But I didn't. Instead, I totally forgot when I got home.

Instead, I made myself a drink of tea, followed by switching on the computer, and being in the chat room for half an hour. I then spoke to my boyfriend through Skype for half an hour, then watched tv for an hour. Before going to bed I checked for any emails, before switching off my computer.

As I got to the top of the stairs, and looked straight down the hallway, I noticed the toilet seat was up. I froze on the spot. Thinking why is that toilet seat up? There is only me here! Still frozen for 2 minutes on the same spot, and listening for any noises..... No noises.

Till it sunk in, and I realised that I left the toilet seat up. I took a deep breath, and relaxed and carried on with what I was doing. Then I laughed, and cursed for freaking myself out like that.
