Dumb Stuff #1
When I was in Nanaimo, I wore my pedometer all the time. One morning after breakfast in the hotel dining room, I started out for my walk - no pedometer. I went back to the diningroom to check. No luck. Then to my room to check there. No luck. I sat down on a chair to read the enwspaper and found it. It had fallen down into my underpants and was resting on a very vital spot!

Default Dumb Stuff #2

Last week I was fully convinced that I was starting to suffer from macular degeneration as I could not read the road signs when I was driving. (I am type 2 diabetic and blindness can be one of the side-effects of this disease.) I decided I needed to make an appointment with my doc and did so for this week.

Saturday before going to the Church sale, I decided to clean my glasses which I use only for driving. The left lens was missing! My left eye is the eye that does the distance reading!

Yesterday I found the lens, snapped it back in and I can see! It's a frassing miracle!

ROFL!! Ruth! Did the pedometer still keep count!!!???

I love threads like this...not that I have ever done any dumb stuff

the first time I got fitted with a certain birth control method, I kept my underwear on.....much to the dismay of my doctor.

I guess that counts?

LOL!!! Great thread

lets see where to start, I do so many dumb things....like the time I went to the hospital. They said get undressed and put on the hospital gown, so I did, next they put in the iv. now they tell me I'm having emergency surgery, I need my appendix removed. Next thing ya know I'm in the bathroom with Dh having him try to rip my bra off me, I didn't take it off and I couldn't get it off over the iv pole. The hospital staff thought we were having one last fling before surgery.

Gee, do you think the time that DH backed out of the garage with his car door open falls in to this catagory?

Or maybe the time he was weed wacking and sent a rock in to the slide and shattered the glass qualifies?

Those are the 2 most recent..
I of course I have *never* done anything like that.....

Well maybe the time I backed out of my driveway and hit my neighbors car would qualify, but in my defence she parked somewhere i couldn't have seen it. (htey retared the drive and she parked on the street...the killer was it was $3000 in damage to he honda civic and not a scratch on my SUV....ahh thank God for insurance.

keep them coming!

LOL!

L - that reminded me of the time when the kids were little and it was raining cats & dogs so I thought I would be nice and drop the neighbor kid at her door so she wouldn't get drenched. While letting her out from the back seat my wet foot slipped off the brake and I half fell out the truck door while the truck creeped up the drive and ran into their garage door! Luckily no one was hurt (everything/everyone was moving in slow motion) and for months afterwards the neighbors grinned from ear to ear every time they used their BRAND NEW roll up door!!!

Gee Rachel - that's right up there (or down there) with the time I walked out of a Florida McDonalds trailing eight feet of toilet paper.
The longer I live, the more chance you have of doing dumb things - and the less you care! I just laugh now.

Ty Ruth, this was lol funny, you guys are just great. I have so many omg, I never really thought about it before. I don't know how many times I've walked into the guys bathroom and had to slink out infront of a group of people, I'm almost used to that now.

My favorite dumb thing was when I gave an all day seminar to a bunch of the junior social workers and at the end of the day, one of the newbies came up to me and told me that I was missing 2 buttons from my shirt, and of course they were the 2 that held in a certain set of twins. All day I was prancing around with my bra hanging out. Woohoo!! And they only told me at the end of the day! Nice to have friends .

It's great, they still talk about it to this day.
