I think one of the stupidest things my mother told me was that she wouldn't ring me on my mobile phone in case I was having s*x!

lmao
did she think that you would actually ANSWER the phone whilst doing that?!!
When we were in Blackpool our house was a 3 storey ex guest house - the top flat was the 'granny flat' where the eldest daughter lived....... Before she had her little one, if she was 'entertaining' she often used to forget to shut doors....
So, one evening, I had a friend round & we were in the lounge, when I heard the 'entertaining' noises....
I turned the TV up & tried to talk a little louder, but it was obvious that the strategies weren't working, so I called her on her mobile - and yep, she answered!!!
She was told in no uncertain terms to shut the door, shut her mouth, or shut her %$!!*$!! legs!
And she never forgot to shut doors again!
Good job my visitor was my long term friend - we still giggle about it now - I'm glad the daughter doesn't live with us any more - no shame!!
