LOL -- I'm an idiot!

[cyber-sibes]

LOL! Well I'm glad it isn't just me. You'll love this one...I keep my daily meds on to of the microwave too. Star needed to take pills for 10 days for something, don't even remember what. I set our pills out, so I wouldn't forget. took mine. Later, I went back to get hers and it was gone -- yup, I took hers by mistake! Oh yes, I felt like an idiot! My colleagues at work were ROTFLTAO when I told them about it.

Kim,

Stand in line, girl. I've done MANY things that baffle the whitecoats. Like what you ask??? One time I put a can of spot carpet cleaner in the fridge. Another time I was preparing a quick meal from Wendy's. I put sour cream on my salad and croutons and dressing on my potato.

Ah, the mind is a terrible thing.

Oh Kim I can relate!! Years ago one of my poodles needed to take Phenobarb for seizures. I had her daily pill bottle on the counter and also my vitamin bottle right next to it. I was in a hurry getting ready to drive to the shore (50 mile trip) to visit with my mom. I opened both bottles and proceeded to take the Phenobarb myself! The power of the mind is a funny thing. Almost immediately I felt like I was having *effects* from the Phenobarb. I didn't even know if I was safe to drive! LOL! I thought for a minute and then called Poison Control. I thought I detected sort of a chuckle on the other end of the phone. Her comment was something like this....."Mam, how much does your poodle weigh?" I said "probably about 18 lbs." She then said "Well I am assuming you weigh considerably more than 18 lbs." I got the message! LOL! I bet those people could write a book.

I spent a hour searching for my dish rag in the galley, even searched the garbage can about 3 times. I would have believeed it was one of the guys playing a trick on me but none had been in. I finally gave up and got another one. Shortly, I went to get something out of the fridge and.... you guessed it, opened the fridge and there was my dishrag.

LOL!! How funny!

Once my friend was on her way out the door for a day on the lake and took her motion sickness pill and wondered why this was the first time it didn't help.
When she got home she realized that she had taken her dog's tranquilizer!

Just this morning I poured myself a glass of orange juice then proceeded to put the carton of OJ in the cupboard that I had just taken my glass out of!

My family has the " casual" gravy container. A glass. On thanksgiving, I drank a glass of gravy by accident- I had to practically reach over my milk to get to it.

I'm sure I've done plenty of things like that. Three things that Justin has done came to mind though. Once Justin put the bottle of Ranch dressing under the sink rather than in the fridge.

Another time he put foil in the microwave and walked away. When he came back there was a fire in the microwave. I wasn't home when it happened. When I got home I walked into a smoked filled house, I saw ashes in the sink and the kitchen was a mess. Where was Justin? He was sitting in the bedroom eating on the bed. The inside of the microwave melted a little and was scorched black.

The worst thing though was one morning (I'd already gone to work) Justin was going to let Izzy, our iguana, swim in the bathtub before he left for work. He turned the water on and left the bathroom. He forgot about it and left for work, that was around 7:30. I came home around 12:30 and walked into our bedroom and my feet sank into the carpet. I opened the door to the bathroom and there was about 6 inches of water on the floor. The bedroom carpet was totally soaked. I got the carpet cleaner out and sucked up as much water as I could (I spent about 10 hours on it), but the carpet was completely destroyed.

That reminds me of another Justin story. We were at his parents house and his mom had a cup of bacon greese on the counter. Justin set his cup of tea on the counter and when he went back to pick it up he grabbed the bacon greese instead and he took a sip. YUCK!

I also remember a story from work that I will never live down. I was taking a reservation for a cat and I made the reservation for a cat named "Big Ol' Wolf" when the cat came in I found out his name was in fact not "Big Ol' Wolf" it was "Bigglesworth". That was a few years ago and I'm still hearing about it.
