Guilty or Innocent Game

[Fifo]

Guilty, nearly two years back when I tested myself at home I got three positive tests (because I was doing what’s called a nasopharyngeal swab), but when I got a professionally-done rapid test and a PCR test I got false negative results because of poor sampling.

Ever had your finger lanced for blood?

[The Jonster]

Oddly enough, no. But that sounds really painful to me, surely they only use butterfly needles for that purpose right? RIGHT???

Been stuck by a needle more than once?

[Fifo]

Oddly enough, no. But that sounds really painful to me, surely they only use butterfly needles for that purpose right? RIGHT???

I can’t believe it! I’ve had it done a lot of times. It’s actually barely painful if done right.

Been stuck by a needle more than once?

Innocent, luckily.

Ever licked a 9 volt battery?

[Steo]

Guilty of this several times as a kid, and I still remember the weird taste and feeling on your tongue afterwards.

Ever claimed that you were never going to do something, but then you ended up doing it anyway?

[PluMGMK]

Guilty I guess, I drank alcohol a few times in 2017. Didn't like it though, so I won't be doing it again
(As for Covid, officially innocent as I never got a positive test at any point… But I most likely did get it without knowing during the last few years )

Ever worked on something your boss didn't know you were involved in, but was of benefit all the same?

[DaveRattlehead]

Guilty. Many times, I've had ideas in the lab that I've implemented without asking for permission, and ultimately, we've ended up benefiting from them.
And yes, there have also been times when it hasn't worked out for me, and I've had to keep quiet about it

Ever had to deal with a difficult coworker?

[Reese Riverson]

Yes, yes I have. One who would repeatedly perform activities they were told not to do. Such as office cleaning, you weren't supposed to mess with things on people's desks.

Then there was another one who I knew from school that ended up being defiant of authority, and was super nosey.

Ever thought you liked someone, but when they are around you, you feel like you lost your personal space and end up not being able to tolerate them?

[Giant Chicken]

Guilty, I've had that happen to me twice. Not really a nice time.

Since its getting closer to christmas, might as well ask a Christmas themed question. Ever baked gingerbread cookies?

[Reese Riverson]

I actually like that idea, I'm glad you brought that up!

No, I've never baked any gingerbread cookies but I've sure eaten them before. Maybe I should try making some, sometime?

Have you ever put up Christmas lights before, and never taken them down for years? (I know I'm guilty of this one. )

[Giant Chicken]

Innocent, I've seen people who have, but never done it myself.

Ever got a present from Christmas that you still use to this day?

[Reese Riverson]

That is a good question, though if we're not considering actual daily use but still have and ready to use at anytime, that would be my PS3. I remember getting that for Christmas. Actually you know... I'm starting to think my PS1 was a Christmas gift too... PS3 was one. And funnily enough the PS5. I bought my PS2 and PS4 on my own. So this one I'm definitely guilty with.

Have you or your pet ever been guilty of breaking Christmas ornaments?

[Giant Chicken]

Thats a lot of PlayStations, but guilty. I broke around 4/5 by now, but its pretty easy to clean up and the ornaments I have broken weren't too expensive so its not that big of a deal.

Forgot to buy a Christmas gift for someone and had to go buy something the day before Christmas?

[DaveRattlehead]

Guilty, but not for a Christmas gift... It happened for a birthday gift

Ever furiously broken a controller?

[Reese Riverson]

Wow Dave, you broke away from our Christmas theme. That's going to furiously break controllers in the eyes of many kids now!

As much as I hate to admit it, yes. When I was a little kid, and it was the PS1 controller.

Have you ever accidentally spoiled yourself to whatever Christmas gifts you got? Like happening to go into a closet or something for something and there they were placed to be hidden?

[DaveRattlehead]

You can break a controller to get a new one for Christmas!

Guilty. Of course I've spoiled myself involuntarily, but not only that... Both my friends and my family hate me so much because I can quickly guess what they bought me with only a single hint.

Ever got lumps of coal?

[Giant Chicken]

Innocent, not really sure why anyone would give you lumps of coal these days.

Ever held a big Christmas party?

[Reese Riverson]

Innocent on this one, I've never held a big Christmas party, let alone a small party of any kind. I'm just not a party person.

Have you ever eaten a fruit cake for Christmas? If so, did you hate or like it?

[The Jonster]

People actually received lumps of coal? I never knew that could actually happen.

And yeah I'm not much of a party person either. You would never see me at one of those big parties, maybe smaller parties with just friends and family that I like talking to.

As for fruitcake, sadly I am innocent for this question. If you asked me as a kid, I would have refused to even try it, being as picky as I am and not liking fruits. In this day though, I am much more open to eating fruits (dried or otherwise) and nuts in a cake, so I'm real curious to try one of these cakes sometime. Maybe I should make one, or ask Dave if he would make one for me!

Have you ever spent a whole day putting up Christmas decorations or buying them?

[Reese Riverson]

Guilty, as I've done that before. Setting up the tree and lights, taking all day. Even some outdoor stuff before. However I'm too lazy to do that now. The biggest problem is me never wanting to take them back down.

Do you have more Christmas lights than you know what to do with, or keep buying more?

[DaveRattlehead]

Innocent, not really sure why anyone would give you lumps of coal these days.

People actually received lumps of coal? I never knew that could actually happen.

Ofc I'm not talking about actual lumps of coal, but the dessert! It's extremely easy to cook at home, but you can buy it already made

Do you have more Christmas lights than you know what to do with, or keep buying more?

Innocent. Actually, it has mostly been the opposite for me. It's a bummer when you go to test them, and you have to buy more because half of the lights have burned out.

Ever eaten shrimp on Christmas celebrations?
