aged around 8 years old I lived in a road that had far too many sparrows nesting one of the nest sites a house around the corner became littered with featherless baby sparrows easily 10 babies on the front lawn I went around them and found one admitally its skull was showing through the skin but it was still alive I thought maybe I could rescue it so I placed it in a box that I could return to later. I wouldn't be allowed to take it into the house as I was only 8 and as I was easily distracted I forgot to go back to the box when I realised the mistake I couldn't go back knowing full well it would be dead
I have made up for that error by rescuing a Baby hedgehog, Small fledglings and a water vole my cat caught and I regulary donate to animal causes.
Around 15 years old I worked in a riding for the disabled association stable and there was a lad I knew from school when I had a shared lesson with him I was quite prepared to try and prove I was a good rider, Unfortunately I was put on a small pony which I was unhappy riding and thought better jump properly just to make up for it I went over the Jump and ultimately fell off, shaking my head I stood up dusted down my jodphurs and got back on where I went over the jump again and again I fell off I was so embarrassed I burst into tears
When I first started working for Royal mail I was Hand stamping some Parcels when one I came across I was curious what was in it it was slightly broken I was working with 2 other men when I shook it kind of laughing away as you did the bloody thing fell out it wasn't quite what I expected to happen . This huge bright pink vibrator with a post it note stuck on it saying it does not work staring at me from a metre away. I hurriedly picked it up sealed the box back up and sent it on its merry way the guys found it hilarious again I was just embarrassed. When I had my Moped and rode it to work I thought lets be cocky as you usually are when you are younger and zigzag through the carpark to get to the bikeshed on this particular occasion I clipped a car placing a large scratch down its side nothing compared to the whole right side of my bike getting ripped off and costing me 500 to fix, I did not search out the car owner [out of guilt for the paint damage] and its probably still a mystery for him/her to this day.
