Once, when I was about 7, in a lift in Harrods. My mother used to send me off to the pet department to amuse myself while she was shopping, and one day I was in the lift heading up there, when the doors opened and this grand old dame breezed in like a galleon in full sail and a waft of Chanel No 5 so strong it was overpowering, literally in my case.

Yes - more than once from being too hot."You’re just a bad memory who doesn’t know when to go away" JRComment

Yes, after a couple of pints literally laughed so hard I couldn't catch my breath. Next thing I know I'm on the carpet....my quagmire of greed....my cesspit of laziness and unfairness....all I am doing is sticking two fingers up at nurses, doctors and other hard working employed professionals...

Yes - faint at sight of own blood these days - have to look away. Most recent was washing out a gash in my hand from falling over outside and next thing was lying on floor with her indoors shouting at me to wake up.
I concur with folk on here - it was really quite pleasant.Comment

Not fainted myself but in the many years I've used the tube for commuting I've seen at least 5 people faint. Last week was a record though as I saw 2 fainters and on both occassions they were standing next to me(must wash more ) and just fell on to me, made good use of my cub scout training putting them in to recovery position, checking tounge etcComment
