STUPID things you've done lately

[iNTeNSeBLue98]

Today, at the mall, we were in the car readyt to leave. Obviously I had attempted to start the car, the radio was playing. I released the brake and moved the shifter to R and nothing happened. I double checked the brake and the gear, tried again with the same result. Turns out the engine never turned over.

 

[Ready to go in Ok]

Oh my......I could write a book.

I have driven off with the hose still in my gas tank.

I locked DD15 in the car when she was 2 months old.....with the keys.

A couple of years later I slammed the trunk on said daughters head requiring 4 staples.

I set my back yard on fire a couple of years ago. Burnt the whole sucker up, but I had beautiful grass when it grew back.

I stopped at a convenience store to buy cigarettes when I was younger, and after handing my money to the clerk, he asked if I wanted my cigarettes, and I said, "No thank you, I just bought some". And walked off. He had to run after me to hand them to me.

I pulled up to a Hardee's drive thru once, and tried to order Arby's.

That's all I can think of for now.

I bit my tongue so hard the other day, it started to bleed. Now I have a big lump. Does that count?

Well I'm certainly not going to spill on anything I did But I will tell you about DW Lauri's serious foot-in-mouth episode she had yesterday.

Her store is getting a whole new computer system..registers, servers, etc. They are being installed on Sunday night overnight and she was told someone from Hallmark would contact her on Thursday to go over what she needs to do.

She gets the call from this guy and they are talking about the steps and he asks Lauri - "Have you gotten a call from XXX about the temp help to pack the old system back up?" Now Lauri has had to hire people from this temp agency before (not giving the name due to the probability of more foot-in-mouth episodes ) and it has not gone well. IF the people show up they have no idea what they are doing or they hide in corners of the stockroom to get out of working.

So, Lauri says to the guys "No, nobody has called from XXX agency yet, and quite frankly, I'm worried that we are making a huge mistake relying on them to get this stuff packed up for the pickup. This company doesn't exactly have a record of having quality temp empoyees working for them." The guy on the phone starts laughing and says..

"That's funny. Know something else funny? I'm from XXX agency"

Lauri wanted the ground to open up and swallow her whole. She was under the assumption that this was an employee of Hallmark and not a temp.. the guy had a Hallmark email address, etc. She tried to cover for mistake and tell him about the bad experiences she had hiring from the local office of XXX agency. Luckily the guy was a good sport about it but Lauri still is trying to get the rest of that shoe taste out of her mouth.

Your delightful new age design probably would look really nice with the nice black abstract desgins on my hand and arm from the broken ink pen!!!

Just think of the lovely design we could both have if we held hands!!

I got involved in that stupid "irregardless" thread.

I knocked the top off the hot air popcorn popper tonight. The popcorn was still popping!

Does this count? Recently I've had dreams that were so realistic that I got out of bed and started acting on the dream:

I dreamt that my neighbors, the ones with two kids came by and told me the little one had fallen and needed stitches, could I watch their son. Of course I said sure (I'm nice, even in my dreams), so I brought him in, made up the trundle bed in DS's room and tucked him in. When I woke up DS was in my bed (must have crawled in during the night) so I went to check on the neighbor child who wasn't there. I then searched the whole house, and couldn't find him. At this point I was in a panic -- could he have run outside? Should I go look for him? But then what if he was kidnapped and I went outside, leaving DS alone in the house and the kidnappers came back? I decided to call 911 and was picking up the phone when I sort of snapped out of it and realized it was all a dream. Still, it was sooo realistic that the next morning I made some dumb excuse to call the neighbors just to reassure myself that the little boy was OK.

I am pretty sure this is cheating. Now we need to hear about you.

Personally mine started this weekend when I left my keys in MI four hours from home. Then after I make duplicates of my dh's keys I misplace his. They he gives me $20 cuz I had to cut up my check card, due to fraud, and I lose it. Then I leave a bag of stuff I purchased at Walmart. That is it so far this week, but this is pretty typical for me.

These are so funny!

Here a few of mine:
Last Thanksgiving I must have had a ton of stuff on my mind, because I'm lucky the meal was finally served! It started when I put the turkey in the oven. I then started making some other dishes. A few hours later, I check on the turkey. I realized I forgot to turn on the oven. So, I had to run up to the store and buy another turkey. They were all out at the first store, so I had to go to a second one!
Then we all finally sat down to eat the dinner. After dinner, my dad says, "Hmm, something smells good." I then ran to the oven and realized I forgot to take out the sweet potatoes. The marshmallows on top were black.

There was also the time when I got my first new car. It was a red camaro with t-tops. I thought it was so cool. So, I'm driving with the t-tops off and the radio blasting. I pulled into a shopping mall parking lot. There is this guy dressed up in an animal outfit waving at everyone. I waved back. Then I realized he was a mechanical animal, not a real person. I drove off very quickly!

Just today,
The sky was looking like rain so I ran out to my car to get my umbrella just in case it rains when I go out for lunch, smart.. right. well, I proceed to walk out of work, to lunch, without my umbrella

as I am driving back, the sky opened up and it poured!! I parked as close to the door as I could but still got soaked by the time i got in the door
and of course the air conditioning was on full blast so I was wet and freezing.

Not my finest hour

Yesterday I really tired and decided to take a nap with my youngest DD around 1:30pm. My older 2 get off the schoolbus at 3:20. I slept right through them ringing the doorbell and had to go pick them up at the school at almost 4pm! I was soooo embarrassed! The office told me it actually happens all the time.

I put my dirty underwear on inside out and backwards the other night.

I haven't figured out how I did it other than b/c I buy the same brand, cut, colors (only white, black, ivory)and i have several of each.

I didn't notice I had "dirty" underwear on until the next morning when I looked down and found the tag on the outside facing out...

TOP that

a few weeks ago I was getting clothes out of the dryer when DH asked me to get him an ice pack out of the freezer,so I drop what I'm doing and and run grab it out of the freezer and go back to doing my laundry.Well later that day I go to take something out of the freezer and find my panties ,laying pretty as you please on top of the Klondike bars.

I got involved in that stupid "irregardless" thread.

I got sucked into some threads today, too, including that one. You'd think I'd have learned by now.

But, in other STUPID news, I was playing with my cat by pulling his mouse-on-a-string toy underneath a tunnel I made with my legs. And just about the time I told DH, "Oh, I'm going to regret this," my cat pounced at my legs in an attempt to catch the mouse. My cat isn't declawed.
