Not really extreme, but they do count I guess
- During the check-in at an airport, I was held back from boarding the plane as my backpack set the alarm off when it was under the scanner. I was held back and was made to wait when they rechecked my bag, and I was frisked thrice. I was reading on my iPaq 3650 (got it from Ricky ) the whole time. And I missed the flight too, thanks to a screwdriver in my bag which took a long time to be found. Had to read as it was the ending of a book and was thrilling.
- Again, at a job interview. Finished the written test, didnt know if I had cleared it, instead I sat down to read as the results were going to be announced 15 minutes later. At the end, when the results were out, everyone ran to check them out. I simply continued the reading and finally when I saw the results after 15 minutes found out I was through.
- This time I was getting bashed by my mother for some stupid thing I had done. Mother was really angry and was yelling at the top of her voice. And I was pretending to be looking down in shame, but actually was busy reading. It was extreme on a personal basis.
