Dare to admit stupidity...

A couple of days ago, I was e-mailing my holiday B&B owners in America, and decided to send them a few photos I took of my trip as attachments.

I wasn't sure if they'd seen some of them. Luckily, it was just before I sent off the e-mail, that I realised that I was about to send them pictures of ME that THEY took themselves, and had just sent to me a few days before.

It was as if I was about to say to them - "Here's your picture of me - that I took - of myself."

Some of these stories are really funny and a good way to past the time!

I was taking out the garbage and ran to the bathroom to grab the waste basket, noticed that the toilet paper roll was empty and threw away the empty roll and the holder. Didn't realize till the next morning. I was in a hurry. lol

Though, one of the dumber things I've done happened a long time ago when I was still in high school. I woke up, looked at the clock, and cursed when I realized I was an hour late for school.

So, I got dressed, ran out to the car, jumped in and drove like hell. I was half way to the school when I read the clock in the car, and realized that my other clock apparently had died at 9pm...

I used to do that on a regular basis (once a month!). I'd wake up, get out of bed and start my morning routine. Somewhere between the shower and getting my keys I'd look at the clock and see it was 2:30am. Once I did actually make it to school, only realising what time it was when I found the gates locked...

And then there's the daily routine of me trying to open the bathroom door before unlocking it. Don't know how that one got into my head, but I do it almost every single time.

I went to a small Star Trek convention in Huntsville some years back. The guest of honor was Mark Lenard (Sarek, Spock's dad). The time for him to arrive came and went, the sponsor kept coming up with reasons why he was delayed, and everybody was starting to get bored and restless. I wandered out of the room to find a soda machine in the hall found myself face to face with Mr Lenard approaching the convention room.

Wow, Spock's father right in front of me! An icon I had grown up admiring! My chance to speak to him one on one! What important thing could I ask him about? The only thing I managed to say at 4:30 in the afternoon was a hearty "Good morning!"

He gave me an odd look, started to say something, thought better of it, and went on in, leaving me alone with my embarrassment.

Karma. Most of the time it is my bitter and relentless enemy, but every once in a while you just gotta love it!

Not too long ago my boyfriend and I were staying at our favorite hotel. We had just finished getting winded and sticky (and quite possibly forcing the neighboring occupants to request a different room) and needed to rinse off before going downstairs for some much needed dinner. I got the hot water going and jumped in the shower first. Not 30 seconds later the shower curtain was thrown back accompanied by the appropriate sound effects to make me drop the soap and experience what I swear was a mild heart attack.
This is where karma comes into play. As he turned away, clearly happy with the results of his latest scare, he walked directly into a wall

Fast acting karma has always been my favorite!

After breakfast this morning, I threw the bowl away and put the napkin in the sink

lol, I end up putting dirty dishes in the fridges all the time, and then I notice I threw the gallon of milk in the sink...

A few highlights:

I jumped in the car to go to work and it wouldn't start. I check the battery, ok. SO I proceed to remove the starter to get IT tested. Nothing wrong with it. After wasting 3 hours, I looked inside the car only to realize that I had left the car in DRIVE when I turned it off the night before. CRAP!!!

I rebuilt an engine from scratch.... got the whole thing back together and finally installed. After a DAY getting everything hooked up and just about to start the engine..... Hey..... what's this OIL PUMP doing here???? FUUUUK! A total teardown again to get it installed.

So I got dressed, jumped in the car to go to the mall. ( It was Saturday) 20 minutes later I awoke in my usual parking space AT WORK!
What the hell????? But it was too late, someone saw me. So I played it off as wanting to get something from the shop.
Brain dead moment.

Had to get up in the morning because I had to take a leak REAL bad. Put on bath robe, walked outside into the garage to take a piss. WHOA!!
OK, THAT was funny!

And then there was that morning I spooned Mayonnaise into my coffee instead of milk......

Nothing too bad.

The other day at work, I called up a clinic and was like, "Hello, this is Kevin with so-and-so, is April available?"

"May I put you on hold while I get them?"

"Sure!"

*placed on hold*

at this point, I start jamming out to the hold music they had playing. Actually, I think I just got a kick out of the fact that they were playing "Hold On" by Wilson Phillips.

Anyway...

This lady gets on the phone and was like, "Hey, Kevin, how are you today?"

"Hi, this is Kevin with so-and-so, I'm calling... I just told you my name even though you knew it, didn't I?"

"Yes." *Laughter*

Tonight I was locked out of the house for almost 2 hours I've got mosquito bites all over

Hmmm. How do I answer this.

Driving to Alabama to meet Huntneo in person for the first time, I was very nervous.

I'm thinking 'what if this turns out good. I don't have any of the things needed for a good time!'

We had a great dinner, and good conversation, and then drove back thinking I was so stupid for not even kissing him before I left!

 

[MrPointy]

These replies are hilarious.

I do at least one monumentally stupid thing every day. One time I was at a mall and was going to go down to the next floor so I go to the top of the escalator and see these 2 cute guys coming UP - it's an upward escalator but for some reason my mind doesn't connect this. So I just wait for them to get off so I can go DOWN the escalator. So they get off at the top, look at me weirdly and say that the escalator is going up not down. Me: "Oh... yeah" *self deprecating chuckle*, them: now looking at me like I'm Cletus the slack-jawed yokel. lol I was so embarrassed and just walked off to the downward escalator. Such a stupid moment. My stupidity tends to increase if theirs a cute guy around. Cute guys are my kryptonite

I'm pretty stupid all the time.

Just yesterday I was at the game store and I hadn't realized when I ran out of my house, I buttoned my shirt completely wrong.

Standing in the store looking like a tard I figured it out, started to fix it but i had to unbutton my shirt to fix it and I wasn't wearing anything else, and i took a step back, tripped over a sign the sign fell over and after stumbling hardcore, im standing there with my shirt ripped open, looking like a complete idiot in a crowded store.

This isn't the height of my stupidity, I just woke up and can't think currently lol

The very first time I ever prepared a dish using tinned salmon, the recipe said empty salmon into bowl then remove bone and flake. So I tipped the salmon into a bowl, removed the bone and stood looking at it for a while with a puzzled expression on my face. When my partner asked what was bothering me I replied, "I removed the bone from the salmon no worries but I can't for the life of me find the flake!"

A couple of months ago I was walking into Wal Mart as a really nice looking guy was coming out. I got busted hard core for looking because he grinned at me, and then I missed the door (we all know how big wal mart doors are) and I cruised into the aluminum frame. Not only did I have a massive bump on my forehead for almost 2 weeks, the sound the framework on the front of the store made was something like an aircraft carrier going thru a china store. I did not fall down but my last sight of the hot guy was he and his friend laughing themselves sick.

The greeter asked if I needed medical attention. It was awesome

Oh yeah.... I recently tried to warm up a soft boiled egg in the microwave. That was an AWESOMELY stupid idea!

10 seconds and BANG! Took another half hour to clean up the carnage.

However..... it gave me an evil idea.... a $29 microwave and an Ostrich egg plugged into a 100foot extension cord with camera rolling.

I once cooked some fish in the oven, had some sauce that came with it which had gone on the glass tray a little. So I took out, put the fish on the plate and was like hmmm ill rinse it in the sink quickly before the sauce hardens up or whatever, but a 200 degree hot glass baking tray + cold tap water = tray exploding in my hands over the sinking.

Thought I was going to get a piece of glass in the throat lol
