Elite ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() We all do dumb things. What's your latest? Here's mine: Two nights ago my wife asked me if I wanted seconds of chicken, seasoned rice, beans, peas...I said, "Sure!" Wanting to wait just a little longer to eat the yummy 2nds, I placed the plate in the microwave. Heading out of the room I didn't want the cat getting any ideas. Sooo, long story short, I forgot I had 2nds in the microwave...until the next night! Despite the fact I had already eaten dinner...the leftover meal looked quite appetizing. It tasted fine...even if the periphery of the chicken was a bit rubbery (it was a rotisserie chicken). Help me feel less dumb by association. What's your latest dumb move? |

Elite ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() I feel pretty dumb - I'm suffering some inner ear thingo at the moment and yesterday spectacularly fell off the toilet.... |

New user![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Couldn't find my phone, but had the bluetooth and it connected, so I called my brother from my phone via bluetooth in order to ask him to call me so I could find my phone. It was in the sofa. |

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() That inner ear vertigo is nothing to mess with. My dad got a inner ear squeeze while diving. He was throwing up all over the boat and I had to carry him off the boat and into the car. He was dizzy for 3 more days. Back on topic I have paid for my groceries and walked out but realized my mistake at the door. |

Champion ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Forgot that I was hard boiling eggs on the stove... FYI - eggs actually do explode if they've been on the stove for too long and the water has long since boiled away. The fire department also comes due to the smoke alarm going off. |

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() I left bait in a bucket in the corner of my kitchen last month (forgot to put it in freezer) and a day and a half later the house smelled awful. I thought something died in the walls. 10 hours later I remembered about the bait bucket. |

Champion ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() OK I will play. I was cleaning out the ash pan or our wood stove and I wound up dropping a bunch of ash on the floor. My bright idea... clean it up with the vacuum cleaner, I mean it is just ash right.... Wrong!!! There were still live embers in the ash and I ended up setting the vacuum cleaner on fire. I was not allowed to touch the vacuum cleaner for years after that.

Member ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() My son and I were manning the Scouts' Christmas tree lot yesterday. $5 a foot. One customer came in and selected a nice big tree. Me (measuring): "OK, 10 feet, that'll be $60." Customer: "I thought you said it was $5 a foot?" Me: "That's right. $5 a foot, that'll be $60." Customer: "But it's 10 feet." Me: "That's right. $5 a foot, 10 feet, that'll be.... oh geez" |

Pro ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() This is a while back, but it's still funny. Was out running and some cute girls in a convertible beeped at me. I turned to smile and wave, and ran into a stop sign. In the same vein, last year we had a lot of flooding on the MUP, and I tripped over a sandbag anchoring the sign while reading the warning about flooding.

Extreme Veteran ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() This wasn't me but still funny... I good friend bought a large watermelon and placed it, along with several other items, in the trunk of his car for a pool party in June. We never ate the watermelon and he left if in the trunk. After about a month of rolling around in the trunk, the dehydrated melon finally succumbed to the pressure and exploded. The smell lasted for over three of the hottest months [July, August, September] where you HAD to have the windows down or else you couldn't breath. P.S. I know I have done some stupid things. I tend to have a selective memory and block them out. |

And you want us to believe you did not do this on purpose? Next thing you are going to tell us is that you "forgot" you were boiling eggs and they exploded, and now you are not allowed in the kitchen...oh, wait.... These gals are geniuses! |

Only once, and I didn't make it all 30 minutes to work before I remembered. But, I have left the papers for a meeting on the dining room table and had to return to the house and get those also.

I've done the same thing as a gas station. I've gone inside, paid cash for gas, got in my car and drove away without filling up. |

After having the smoke detector go off for the SECOND time in a month... I'm definitely NOT allowed in the kitchen anymore. However, I've gotten really good at dismantling said smoke detector in record time. |

Pro ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() I was basting the turkey on thanksgiving and didn't bother to pull the oven rack out. Hit the back of my hand on the oven coil at the top, not 1, not 2, but 3 times. I have three nice burn scars that are still healing. |

Champion ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() I don't change jobs often (usually several years between job changes), but when I do I inevitably head to the old job at least once or twice during the first few weeks. There's nothing quite like driving north on the highway when you realize you should be heading east on a different highway. |

Extreme Veteran ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() I stopped at a gas station to fill my tank and the pump wasn't working. After turning it on and off a few times I decided I should go inside to ask if there was something wrong with it . When I turned towards the building I realized that it had burned down. I tried to fill my car at a gas station that had burned, literally, right to the ground and didn't even notice. Yeah, I'm pretty good at this game. |
