CONFESS!!!!! What was the last really dumbass thing you did?

[LynneSin]

Me?

Work, I had a cell phone call come to work about a private, medical issue I was dealing with. We had just moved to the building and I decided it was best to take the call in the bathroom where I figured no one would be around to hear me talking on the phone (It was cold & rainy so outside wasn't an option).

Fifteen minutes and not a soul bothered me in the bathroom until a man walks in. Turns out I spent 15 minutes on my cell phone in the damn men's room

1. Well compared to that...

:eyes:

I almost locked myself out of the house the other day.

2. Bought a Led Zep CD

3. I took someone else's shopping cart out his hands

I had returnables in bags and was walking to the entrance of the store when I saw an elderly man wheeling a cart toward the entrance. For some reason I had it in my mind that he had just loaded groceries into his car and was returning the cart so I took it right out of his hands saying "I'll take that," put my returnables into the cart and headed into the store. To my extreme embarrassment, he continued into the store as well; he was going in not coming out. He couldn't have been more gracious, telling me he had to make a stop before beginning his shopping (he went into the men's room) in a lovely Russian accent, but I felt like the world's biggest idiot anyway.

5. Now that's funny

:rofl:

The worst part is that I could totally see myself doing something like that. Especially when I get in a big hurry.

8. I once told a woman with a seeing eye dog "no pets allowed."

I was an overzealous department store clerk in high school. I didn't notice that it was a seeing eye dog at first, I only saw the dog. I was so embarrassed that I couldn't even apologize -- I just walked away.

I still get embarrassed when I think about it all these years later.

4. Just yesterday

I headed off to a party.

Fortunately, I stopped off on the way to pick up something to bring and ran into someone else who was supposed to be at the same party...who gently reminded me that it's next Monday. :dunce:

6. Wow. I've done so many dumb things...

but I'd have to say this one. My hubby has a white board up on the wall in our home office. I thought I'd be cute and write a love note on it for him, but I picked up the wrong marker. It wasn't one of the erasable kind... it was permanent! Oops! Now I have to get him a new white board.

7. i went to recommend a post, but instead I added my K&R reply to my journal

10. About a week ago, I decided that I didn't need to pay

a 50-cent toll (I fucking HATE toll roads!) to drive down a particular highway. I was really proud of myself, because I knew the shortcut. Or so I thought. I ended up driving 45 minutes out of my way to save a 50-cent toll. AARGH! :argh: Never gonna do THAT again! LOL

11. I did this a couple of days ago...

I was pulling in to the driveway to my parking lot, which is on a busy downtown street. My landlord's car was in the driveway, but it looked like it was parked against the building on his left (which is where i would normally drive) - so I pulled in on his right. Unfortunately, he was just sitting there, in the proper lane, waiting for traffic to clear so he could pull out. I couldn't stop and correct due to oncoming traffic, so I had to squeeze between his car and the building, with about 3" clearance on either side. He didn't look amused. Haven't seen him since though, so I've not apologized yet.

12. I completely lost my temper with my 12 yr old son yesterday morning.

I actually said, "F____ you!", in a moment of anger, which I then regretted all day.

I'd NEVER done that before and I felt really shitty about it, afterwards.

Of course, I immediately apologized and "cleaned it up" as best I could, but it was a pretty dumbass thing to do, in the first place.

:banghead:

Too bad I'm not perfect. :eyes:

13. E-mailing a study guide (which I'd worked on for an entire weekend)

to a freeper bitch in my polisci class following a big study group. The next morning, there was a note on my friend's door thanking her for "all her help" studying last night. Didn't even acknowledge my presence when I saw her later that day.

Definitely not doing that again.

14. I laughed at something that wasn't funny.

And it hurt the feelings of someone I cared about....someone who didn't deserve that at all.

15. Concert: I massaged the shoulders of a stranger in an intimate way while

my wife wondered wtf? Damn long haired hippies. You all look the same.

She (my wife) asked me to, but then walked away while I was talking to a friend. I turned and grabbed the first sandy blonde I saw, apparently. The young lady was very nice about it; found it hilarious, and moved on. I deserved a boot to the groin in an accidental dumbass sort of way. Two of them actually. One from my wife and one from the stranger. I however spent the final hour of the concert feeling as if everyone was pointing and laughing. My state of mind didn't help either (varietal intoxicants).

I became the joke of that small segment of the crowd as there were a handful of witnesses who found it funny enough to spread the comedic love around.

16. Went to work on a day the office was closed.

Got a ride from the ex, so had no wheels. It took six hours to walk home (lousy suburban mass transit). Now I work just blocks away from home.

17. When my youngest

was about 10, we were driving down a street which was under construction. Towards the intersection, the two lanes merged. It was close to dark and raining. You know there is ALWAYS some anal opening that wants to get ahead of you at the last minute. Well, this jackass whipped in front of me, not missing my front bumper by more than an inch, I kid you not! I was so shaken that I was going to flip this guy off, something I had NEVER done before...or since. So, I say to the kiddo, "Cover your eyes, Hana, cover your eyes"!!! as I proceed to shout "F*ck you, you jerk". Today, 12 years later, it is still one of her favorite stories, which she also shared with all of her friends at the time. :blush:

19. One that's a misty watercolored memory

One morning I washed my face and put the washcloth on the side of the sink. Then, I blew my nose. (Drum roll here) I carefully folded the kleenex, hung it over the towel rack and threw the washcloth in the toilet. Defending myself (if possible), I hadn't had my coffee yet.

18. Sorry, my recent dumbass things don't top yours

but if it's any consolation, your men's room trip is the kind of dumbass thing I have been know to do, and more frequently than I care to detail.
