Dare to admit stupidity...

[Philsy]

Twice recently, I've returned to my car and quickly realized I forgot to shut it off before leaving it. It's a Lexus, and I've had for three years now, so I should be familiear with it, but for some reason I'm turning into an idiot. The car has a remote key that does not need to be put into the ignition in order to start it, it only has to be in the area. So I leave it in my pocket all the time. First, I went to a dinner and comedy show and returned to the car still running, unlocked and quite toasty inside. Then the second time I have finished up a round of golf, returned to the car 5 hours later only to realized I did the same thing again, but at least it ran out of gas before anyone could steel it. Needless to say I stick the key in the ignition everytime just to remind me of the importance of shutting it off. I'm a moron.

Sometimes, when I'm removing my undies before showering every morning, I'll throw them in the trash can. Then I get in the shower. "SHIT, I threw them out again." I then have to get out of the shower, wet, to regain my underpants.

Then I usually stand in the shower every day, with a strange green, blue or orange viscous substance cupped in my hand. It usually takes me 5 minutes to decide whether it was shampoo or shower gel. Sometimes it happens with the shampoo, and *then* with the shower gel. And then there are the times when, after shampooing, I decide that the shower gel is actually shampoo, and I put the shower gel on my hair. I then have to rinse it out, and shampoo my hair *yet again*...

Then, I have to get dressed. It's impressive, the amount of time I can sit on my bed, with a pair of socks in my hand, right leg crossed over the left so I can reach my right foot, staring blankly at the bookshelf.

Breakfast: one out of every 15 days or so, the cereal spoon ends up in the trash can. And then I'll put the milk carton in the cupboard and the cereal box in the fridge.


Not to mention when I was once in a coffee shop, I payed for a tuna baguette and apple juice, they give me the little paper so I can go to the other line and receive my order. And I throw the little paper to the trash, like I do with the usual receipts. I was so ashamed I slowly looked up, to check if anyone saw me do it, and then I proceeded to back out of the coffee shop at a steady, yet glacial, pace. xD
Also, when I was about 6, I think, I asked my parents for a brother... "But there's no way I'm letting you have one that's older than me." -.-'

I'm the love child that Stupidity had with the rape child of Absent-mindedness and Forgetfulness.

Once, I didnt know that my room door was closed, we had curtains covering the door.
I ran from the main door and ram right into my door. Stupid me.


This was just recently, I was learning driving and I was told to signal right and I accidentally hit the winscreen thingiing that actived the sprayers and the wipes 1 time. So I kept hitting it and thinking it was for the right signal. omg lol I got scolding from the instructor. He called me crazy. lol.

Well this didn't happen to me but to me sister. She mistook chanel facewash as toothpaste when we were in HK!

(keep in mind I have been driving a Nissian Altima for the last two years) the other day I had to drive my boyfriends car and as we were sitting in it I could not figure out how to start it. I just asked him where is the start button. Then I had to ask which way do I turn the key. lol

My first job was at this pizza place, I was there by myself as it was late and was about to close. I was putting things into the walk in cooler when I realized the door shut. I stood there for like five minutes thinking about how i was going to get out and how I would be in here till the next day. Then I stopped having a blond moment and remembered to open it you just have to push it open it doesnt lock. I felt so dumb.

This morning I had a minor dumb moment. I stayed at a motel last night and woke up hungover and disoriented this morning. My phone rang, so I answered it and while I was talking on it I got dressed. I started gathering up the stuff to put in my pockets (wallet, etc...) when I noticed I couldn't find my phone. I was frantically looking for it while I was talking away on it.

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.

I replaced the clutch in my truck once and put the old disc in. I was finished and ready to test it out, when I saw the new one laying on the ground.

I was in a bad mood one day, so I was short tempered. Went to a store, picked up an item that the shelf price said was $3.85 (or something...). I got to the register, the woman rang it thru, I saw the price on the screen and said "That's not $3.25! I'm not paying that! If you guys would check your prices now and then you'd realize that it's $3.8.......oh, sorry....." (it was on sale and I confused the two prices in my head.....)

Before I had an Ice Tea maker, I would boil water in a tepot (cast iron teapot <luckly as you'll see>) and after it was done, add some tea bags and let it cool. Simple, right? At least three times in two years I would fill the pot with water, put it on the stove, turn on the electric burner,.......and then two hours later, think "Oh, SHIT!" and run into the kitchen to see a red hot coil, and an empty teakettle with dry white residue on the inside. No damage to the kettle of course, but no more water either!

Years ago, one Christmas week, I had to work before driving an hour away to a relatives house to drop off Christmas gifts. I left them at home so the would not be stolen from my car during the day. I even put a note in my car to remind me to stop at home and get them before heading over to the get together. Smart, was I. I got off work, stopped at home, took a piss, left the house, drove an hour away, got into the relatives house, and realized just then, that I never...picked...up..the...bag of gifts.....right by my door. So, got back in the car, and two hours later arrived with the gifts...... I'm just glad it was not actually Christmas day.

I do something stupid everyday, it's part of my charm.

I was once walked into a shop called "The Wallet Shop" and approached the cashier who wore a shirt with the words "The Wallet Shop" (she was about to pick up a wallet she dropped and I helped her) and asked, "Hi, do you sell any wallets here?"

 

[TofuEater]

Ohhhh so many to choose from...

Back in high school, two of my friends came up to me after classes were over to tell me the word "gullible" wasn't in the dictionary...my response, "Holy crap! Really? No way! Let's go the library right now to see!!!"

Sadly, I didn't get the joke until after they explained it to me (which was when we were halfway to the library )...the irony...and stupidity

 

[MTLDude]

My stove is just beside my sink... not unusual in a small apartment... I once decided to make an omelet... so I crack the first egg on the pan and actually opened it in the sink... shit... I then cracked the second egg on the pan, and guess what... opened it IN THE EFFING SINK AGAIN!

Many years ago I was driving near downtown Denver on a side street and was approaching a red light. Saw it was red and had the clutch pushed in and was braking in order to stop.

Caught a glimpse of a HOT guy walking on the sidewalk.

Turned my head to get another look and BLAM hit the car in front of me. Didn't even kill the engine.

Car in front of me was a Police Car.

Seconds later the lights on top of the Police Car start blinking.

Then I realized where we were.

Smack-dab in front of the Main Denver Police Headquarters Building.

At shift change.

While Mr. Policeman was writing me the well-deserved ticket for 'following too closely', I was treated to a parade of well over 50 police cars coming in for the morning and leaving for the afternoon. Mr. Policeman felt it important to wave at all of his co workers, too.

I've never seen more cops drive by me, pointing and laughing, EVER.

Let's see... this happened when I was drunk, but it's still stupid.

Recently I was patronizing a local gay bar, and my straight friend was with me and he worked his ass off all night for free drinks and kept handing some over to me... needless to say, I got shitfaced.

I walk around to the other side of the bar, this guy says Hello to me... we exchange a few sentences, I inform him I have to go to the restroom and that I'll be back. I walk towards the doorway and where I see the door is not actually where the door is... I walked into the door frame.

I was coherent enough to know that I just made a fool of myself and at that point left the bar.

 

[jaycee style]

i moved to the south......... yea.


once on the spanish side of town, i asked somebody what time it was in spanish, and she said; and i quote "nigga, it's 6:15"

 

[Fucker29]

I threw water on grease fire and nearly got myself killed.


I was run over by a parked car.


I told a teacher she made a mistake correcting my test...which resulted in my failing instead of passing. DUMBASS!!! Ugh


I've made plenty stupid, dumb mistakes in my life.

 

[altlover85]

I went to send a friend a resume I had spent a half hour going over and making changes too. I decided I should make sure it looked good on a PC so I sent it to myself.

A couple of days later my friend wrote on her facebook wall that she got an interview. I asked her if my resume helped. She was confused.

It turned out I left it as a draft and never sent it to her.

 

[bulge]

Rather not say. I am too stupid to even tell. No none would believe. I often wonder when the following god will some more stupid than we ourselves, as far as possible of course.

 

[Fucker29]

wow...

care to tell us more about how that happened?

LOL! In Portugal is tradition to park the cars on sidewalks...everyone does it even though it fucks pedestrians up but that's a whole other issue...

Anyway, I was walking down the street talking to a friend of mine and while I was talking to her I had my head turned to her so I was so distracted that - I don't even know how someone can be so distracted but oh well LOL - all of a sudden I'm on top of the car with my legs hurting and I was like "OUCH!!! What the fuck is this shit? A car? Where did he come from?"...I just didn't see the goddamn car in front of me...so yeah, pretty much run over by a parked car...how pathetic is that?

My worst act of stupidity was working on an old guitar amp. I did unplug it first. It had tubes, and no one ever told me to take them out and make sure to drain the capacitors of any stored electricity. So here I am working on this thing, and my arm grazed the transformer. I learned my lesson though, I'm going to guess I got about 400 volts, that's what the caps were rated at anyway.

 

[Fucker29]

Ha... I'd have loved to see that and then helped you up and kissed your beautiful face.

And would've accepted your help.
