Turning over and swimming on your back while still trying to breathe through a snorkel.
Naturist blackberrying / nettle-cutting.
Trying to avoid this Christmas, duplicating presents you gave last, having lost the notebook in which you record such vital details.
Opening an Ordnance Survey 'Outdoor Leisure Series' Map in a strong wind without damaging it, only to find the area you need study is right in the middle of the other side of the A1-size, two-side printed paper sheet... and it's started to rain again.
Solo duvet-cover stuffing... even more fun when the duvet is single size and the cover, double. Or vice-versa?
Having forgotten a fellow-employee's name at work, furtively trying to read a pass he or she has only gone and clipped over one of the more personal areas of the person.
Navigating your way from your seat near the back of the bus, through all those types who insist on standing in the aisle even when seats are empty, and doing so in a tight huddle only just aft of the driver's cab.
''''''
For fellow non-owners of televisions (and I know a few):
- Trying to stay looking vaguely intelligent and sociable when your company of the moment are all discussing last night's televised football or soap-opera you know nowt about.
- Trying not to be distracted by the wretched goggle-box when visiting friends or family who leave the thing on even though not actually watching it.
- Trying to stay polite when people act so incredulously at your admitting to not having a TV. That's even before the TVLA's oh-so-friendly letters.
- When staying in a hotel, attempting to watch the one in your room when its only controls are an arcane box of pretty-coloured buttons with no instructions available. You can't listen to the radio instead because hotels don't have them. (If I ever plan to stop in a hotel again, I'll take my small, portable wireless.)

@Livingwell Indeed - I also wonder why some people like to post their own opinions but are so terrified
of being opposed, doubted or questioned they are very rude to anyone who dares to disagree with them.

@saragoodtimes Not surprisingly, as that's not its usual name! :-)
It's [i]Worcester[/i] Sauce, without the "shire"; and pron. [i]Wooster[/i], as is the town itself.
The full name - that of the county rather than the town - is pronounced [i]Woostershire.[/i]
