I was probably around 6 years old and my grandparents dog wasn't there when I went to visit. When I asked why I was told the dog had "gone on holiday".. I questioned how long for, I was told "I'm not sure, but quite a long time".. "That's weird" I thought.. It wasn't until 6 months later and some more questioning that I found out the dog was actually dead.
Not sure if that's gullible or can be classified as simply lied to.
Did the dog have holiday insurance? Also, did the hotel ever investigate?Not sure if that's gullible or can be classified as simply lied to.
It's pretty bad form when you die on holiday. Hope it wasn't the food or local water.

Many, many years ago my sister had a careers advice appointment at school. I asked what she was going to say she wanted to, so she said she wanted to go into the legal profession, "oh, soliciting" I replied.
My parents were not impressed the following day.
Not me being gullible, but I was at an interview at a law firm and said something along the lines of "While you guys are soliciting....".My parents were not impressed the following day.
I didn't notice at the time, apart from the smiles I saw, later figured it out.
When a teenager had a girlfriend test herself, we had gone to the coast & on the pier was a sign reading:
SPLINTERS
shoes must
be worn.
she asked me 'what are splinters shoes'. I was laughing to much too give a smartarse reply.
(I should of course said they hand them out at the booth can you get me a pair while your there)

Not quite 'gullible' but I was definitely taken for a fool.
I was taken to a zoo/park near the south coast when I was about nine with my family and they had a small building with about 8 different ropes coming out of it. Written above each rope was a different animal and the rope was meant to replicate how hard you'd have to pull to lift the animal off the ground. It got progressively harder the heavier the animal got and on the last rope was 'elephant'. With half a dozen kids hanging off this rope couldn't get this rope to budge...and so me and my brother investigated.
We looked inside the building and saw 7 of the 8 ropes on a pulley mechanism that allowed movement with different objects attached to the other end...sandbags or something similar.
The rope for the elephant was just wrapped around a structural beam of the building. I never felt so cheated in my life.

I used to work there. Perfect segue. Whilst working in the restaurant at Drusillas I was told that for stock take we had to count the tea bags. Each individual bag. I think I got to about 300 before someone asked me what the fk I was doing.
