“The polite scorn of a Canadian.” Surely, that is the worst of all!

Tundra Bunny said...

Forget the broom, buddy, and treat yourself to a DYSON rechargeable stick vacuum for those ash piles, LOL!

Bob said...

I really like the Craig's List one!

Tom said...

This reminds me to never mess with you!

Debra She Who Seeks said...

@ David M. Gascoigne -- The Americans are experiencing that one right now, LOL!

Debra She Who Seeks said...

@ Tundra Bunny -- Yes, Greg the Sorcerer needs to move with the times!

Travel said...

Someday I need to learn how to cast a bad spell.

Barbara said...

OMG. I love the Scam Text. I may try it in the future. LOL. Too funny. But the diarrhea in traffic is even funnier. I must have had too much coffee this morning. Everything tickles me.

Val Ewing said...

diarrhea in traffic works for me....in a traffic jam...on a bridge...with a bathroom just in sight.
Oh my.

Marcia LaRue said...

No casting a bad spell ... Just fart and cast a bad smell!

Moving with Mitchell said...

Craig’s List, now that’s an idea. “I’m getting the spell reversed, Greg.’ is worth remembering.

ellen abbott said...

Well, that first one made me laugh. And the one about the clever comment.

sirkkis said...

We speak here of earworms... It's not very dangerous.. 😉

RedPat said...

Love the wet socks, Debra.

Pixie said...

Well played my friend. My grandson has been doing that this morning:)

Debra She Who Seeks said...

@ Marcia LaRue -- Hahahahaha!

Pixie said...

I love all of them but think I might use the ashes and shoes on the front porch for Halloween.

DVArtist said...

Oh I'm laughing. These are all great. Have a very nice day today

Leanna said...

That Craig's list idea sounds like a keeper. I just sweep the ashes of unwanted solicitors into my garden off the porch. It's a great way to give them the nitrogen that they crave.

Kathy G said...

Filing these away for the next time I need them.

Lady M said...

Hee hee - these are great. I especially love the curse for the enemies. That would be my worst traffic nightmare. I need to do that craiglist one.

e said...

Excellent non-lethal spells! I'd say wet socks that keep sliding down in your shoe - double whammy
This post is perfection!

Guillaume said...

The first one, about the forever wet socks...
That's cold.

Mary Kirkland said...

Oh my gosh, I love these. So funny.

Linda's Relaxing Lair said...

The wet socks, dear Debra.

Jackie McGuinness said...

Wet socks is too mild! Definitely he needs a Dyson, I don't like cleaning up. Clearing the scorn of a Canadian is the worst!

DB Stewart said...

Ha, all the applause emojis for posting the scam text numbers on Craigslist, lol.

Lisa said...

Yes, wet socks are the worst!

My name is Erika. said...

I need to try that Craigslist curse. I bet it works great. And if not, I wish there was some way to send wet socks over the internet. :)

Harry said...

Yes! I now know what to do with spam callers.

angela said...

Love the curses. Especially the ones in the little boxes. Brilliant

River said...

I love all of these, thank you 😀

Jean said...

The diarrhoea in a traffic jam is the worst, a bit too close to reality.

Iris Flavia said...

Very great ones!!!

Bilbo said...

How do I get one of those cursing rooms?

roentare said...

For some reasons, dark arts seem so fascinating to me

Ur-spo said...

no no not the scorn of a Canadian !

baili said...
