LOL -- I'm an idiot!

[RedHedd]

Oh yeah - been there, done that. I blame those incidents on my estrogen-free brain. Like the time I had to go hunting for the coffee. I keep it in the freezer and KNOW I had put it back the day before, but no .... somehow I had gotten distracted by something and had left it on the chest in the living room. The next morning I "hunted" for about 20 minutes before I saw it in the living room - strange that I hadn't noticed all day the day before. The mind is a terrible thing ....

I failed to mention this past weekend's idiot moment...........

Scott, Helen and Helen's boyfriend made a run to the store for ice cream, after dinner, on Friday night. I put in my request, ate a little bit, and stored it away for later. Well, on Saturday, I discovered that I stored it in the refrigerator, not the freezer!

So long, Ben and Jerry's Butter Pecan!!!!

This one bit of stupidity lasted for YEARS - and it was me!

I had a pair of denim culottes that I just loved. They zipped up the back, and I could only wear them when I was VERY VERY slim(which did happen on occasion LOL).

Having been travelling away from my parents for some time, I was visiting them, wearing my fave culottes, and telling mom about the fitting difficulties. Of course, after 5 years or so, they were in great shape because I hardly even wore them.

After a bit of conversation....and trying them on a different way...I found that yes, indeed - you guessed it, dear readers - I had been wearing them BACKWARDS all that time!

I almost put the cats' dry food in the fridge once.

Hehe, oh my.

A couple of years ago, I went with my friend and her grandmother to the hospital that she (the grandmother) worked at to pick up a prescription. We had been there for quite some time already when I had the urge to tinkle. So, Nicky showed me where the bathrooms were and stuck around. I put down one of those seat covers, did my business, washed my hands, and left. As we were walking towards the area where her grandmother was, I had noticed a man sitting next to a woman and the man was laughing so hard I thought he was going to fall out of his chair! The woman nudged him HARD then came up to me and said, "The back of your pants...." I reached around and there was the TOILET SEAT COVER hanging out like coat tails! I was mortified but just went about my day.

Don't ask me why I'm telling this story...the infamous chalk story I will never live down.

(This happened years ago) I had a bag of those after dinner/pillow mints on a dresser by my bed. For some reason in the middle of the night I had a craving for the mints, so I reached over to grab some. One of them dropped on the floor under my bed. I reached down and picked up what I *thought* was the mint, and ate it. I do remember it tasting nasty but I was half asleep at the time, I didn't think much of it and went back to sleep. In the morning I happened to notice some pieces of chalk under my bed...yes, I ate chalk.

well, I just remembered another one and another one just happened this morning not so funny though.......

as I was showering, (I use shampoo and conditioner, cause my hair would get ugly if i didnt) I rinsed off the shampoo adn told myself now I have extra time t let conditioner a bit longer and I apllied it and feel a bit of foam forming up......and I was like, oh man I left some shampoo.........NOT!!......I reapplied shampoo!!.............

and another thing that has ocurred several times LOL.........as getting inside the car I put a glass of whatever I´m drinking (soda, lemonade,etc , as I dont do alcohol) on top of the car, just to get te door open, but then I get in, leave the glass on top and drive off............and yes liquid gets spattered everywhere..........once i left a plate with food I was going to eat.........needless to say I starved that morning.........LOL

I can be a real idiot myself at times.

I was coloring my hair one time, I mixed up the color put in on my hair and set the timer. When the time was up I looked in the mirror my hair didn’t look like it had changed color at all. I wasn’t happy. I got in the shower to rinse it out. I went to put the conditioner in my hair that comes with the hair color. Thank God I noticed this before I put it in my hair!!

Yep, ding-dong me had added the conditioner to the color bottle instead of the color solution.

Now, this didn't happen to me (sure, sure, that's what they all say). But, really, it wasn't me, I'm ratting out a friend.

She was having a very fancy schmancy dinner party for her husband's boss and friends. In order to make a good impression, she had cleaned the house from top to bottom. She had it spic and span and intended it to stay that way. She put out the best towels in the guest bathroom and in order to keep the kids from messing it up, stuck post-it notes on them that said "If you touch this towel, I will kill you!"

Dinner party was a great success, she's thinking what a wonderful wife she is. Her husband is going to get that big promotion. She did her part! They are a good team!

You guessed it. Long after dinner was over and she was congratulating herself on how things had gone, she realized that she had forgotten to take down the post-it. On the plus side, her guests had not touched the towels.
