The 'stupidest' thing you've ever done?

[Pooh_Friend#1]

Ok here is mine. We have a two door garage in my uncles house. Well i parked my car in the garage and then DH came and parked behind me on the driveway. Sine he had the night shift he went off to sleep. Well I had to go out and did not want to wake him up nor could i find his keys. So I come with this brilliant idea. Since the other car space is empty and I can drive out of there. I tried to make a U turn in the garage itself. Well long story short my car got stuck somewehre in the U turn. Took a sleepy grumpy DH a good 50 minutes to get it in the right position. No one has let me live that down.

I can't even begin to think what you were thinking.

.... Did they magically change while you were eating McNuggets?

I don't know why but this made me start crying with laughter!


This happened to my mom...
My whole family was over my aunts house. My aunt was nice and let us park in the driveway. As we are leaving my mom starts to back out of the driveway until we hear a *thump*. Yep, she hit a car parked behind her. There was only a small dent on the car and no marks on hers. But to be nice we decided to see who's car she hit. We figured it was a neighbors but they are, well, strange so my mom goes back into my aunts house and asks her who's car it is. Out comes my cousin's boyfriend. He surveys the damage and decides it fits well with the other dents. My mom gives off great first impressions huh?

This thread should be like my haven for all the stupid things I have done but I can't think of any! As soon as I get my memory back I'll share my stories.

Turned down a trip to WDW when I was 15. Thought I was too cool to go to Disney.

Hopefully, you came to your senses....

I'm now forever known as the only woman who could lock themselves out of their car in the middle of the road in the middle of the express lanes during the height of rush hour.

Go ahead and laugh. I am. It could happen to you, too.

Yikes! speaking as someone with a super bad memory, I am freaked just hearing about this-- You poor thing!
I am getting myself one of those little magnetic key holders ASAP-

Co-worker's parents go to Hawaii for vacation. The wife comments "you don't see many out-of-state license plates here, do ya?"...

Ugh. I'll never forget this - my first job out of college was an office manager for a small company. I was in charge of ordering business cards.

Well...I placed the order...250 business cards for several different associates.

Little did I know, the business cards came in packs of 50! So I ordered 250 units of 50 cards for each person! So, each person got 12,500 business cards!!

I'll never forget how I felt opening all of those boxes, sorting through the thousands of business cards.

Now, for the worst part...most of them had mistakes on them!! Either their names were spelled wrong, phone numbers wrong, or credentials were left off. It was my job to proof-read them, and somehow it slipped through the cracks. Totally my fault, along with the rest of this fiasco. So, we had thousands of business cards that were mostly un-usable. I was sooo humiliated. I cost the company QUITE A BIT of money!

Luckily, this company has since closed down and I never had to see those people again.

I have a blowing-up-while-cooking story, too.

I was making a caramel pie, where you boil unopened cans of condensed milk. I fell asleep and awoke to a BOOM. One of the cans had exploded and blew caramel all over the kitchen. I had to reach around the corner and push the pan off of the burner, because I was afraid the other one would blow.

We were newlyweds, and hubby worked a second job at night. That was the one night he got off on time. I said, "Sweetie, I blew up the house!"

Hilarious! I love these cooking stories!

My college roomie and I were in the backseat of a dorm friend's car. She was a booksmart girl, but kind of an airhead. My roomie and I promptly put on our seatbelts and kept poking each other and giving each other looks as if we we were doomed. At the first red light we got to, our friend was adjusting the mirror and started yelling at us, "You guys! I see that! blah blah blah!" when WHAM!!! She had taken her foot off the brake and ran into the car in front of us, which promptly sent my roomie and I into a fit of giggles and "See, I told ya so" looks at each other! Poor gal. The kids in our dorm never let her live that one down!

My own stupid thing...

Since I've had my second DD, my brain cells are diminished (I think it is the breastfeeding that does it )

Twice, I have left my keys in the front door after I've gotten home from work. The first time, I got home before DH, so when he got home, I get the safety lecture. The second time, I was home after him. Ooops, he doesn't know they were in the darn door the whole night long. I was late for work, because I couldn't find my keys. It finally dawned on me that maybe I'd left them in the door again. Duh. Thank God no one decided to come visiting during the middle of the night.

At my pseudo-boyfriend's house (who still lived at home) at the top of a hill. Car wouldn't start - went inside to tell BF. After lecture about the car being in gear (dumb argument), we walked out of the garage and my car was GONE!. Heard yelling and looked down the back yard hill to see car smashed into neighbor's tree about 25 yards downhill - landed 3 feet from pool!

But the real kicker is when I went inside to call work to say I was going to be late, I was gesturing wildly (I guess) and knocked my arm into the BF's mother's antique glassware hanging over the counter. SMASH...

hmmm...wonder why she never liked me?

i say stuipid little things like "where are you teeth" or "well if he was in charge than i should be!" when i just so happen to be in charge.

but the big one came while I was in a mock trial competion.

So Im on the stand..in this big chair...giving the lawyer answers and she keeps cutting me off....I wanted to slap her across the face..so then she goes "no further questions" and i get told to come down from the stand...so I do...only thing Im wearing really high boots..and I fall...on my face. So I get back up and act like nothing is happening...and I then have to walk to the swinging half a door...only thing i miss...and it didnt open...i just crashed into it...oh well..we won....I run into alot of things....I slid down the halls of my school and hit a pole...in front of the entire foot ball team.....i know most of them, they havent let me live that down.

This next one is by far the worst and I have not told this story to many people. You men out there may not want to read this. The first time that my “friend” came to visit my mother gave me a package of pads that she had bought for me. I don’t know what I was thinking, but when I peeled the backing off of the adhesive strip I proceeded to stick the pad onto myself instead of to my underwear. Need I say more?

OMG I couldn't even breathe reading this one! My kids jumped up and asked what was wrong because Mommy was hyperventilating. OMG Thanks for the laugh!!!!

DH and I lived in a duplex many years ago (prekids) and the laundry area was located next to the back door. I was getting ready to shower and thought I'd start a load of clothes then go shower. I stripped completely naked, tossed my clothes in, and added the (powdered) detergent spilling some in the floor. Since the door was just right there and we had no neighbors behind us or beside us I thought I'd just sweep the detergent out right quick. No big deal, right? Well, as I'm nakedly sweeping the detergent out the door the water meter reader (male) walks by. OMG. I was mortified. And he never not once looked away. To this day DH and my dear best friend will not let me live it down.

That reminds me of the old joke that if you loaned your BIL $100 and then you never saw or heard from him again...was it worth it?
