You Ever Do Dumb Things?

[STRIKE3]

I constantly do and say, dumb things. The latest, was looking :20 minutes for sunglasses, which were already on the hat I was wearing.

Hurricane I have done something close to that before. I was trimming the hedges with electric clippers. I lost 3 extension cords that day. Cut them right in half. You would have thought after the first one, I would have learned. :confused:

You Ever Do Dumb Things?

 

Well, I have voted Republican once or twice...

 

I do remember going through a MickeyD's drive-through, and after placing my order, saying that I wanted it to go.

Me To!!!! I must have been having a really dumb day:lol::lol::lol:

I've been known to put the milk back in the cabinet and the cereal box in the fridge...

A little while ago, I took the house phone out back with me, so I could hear if it rings. I couldn't find a handy place to sit it, so I stuck it in my shirt pocket.

 

I sat there for a while, until it started to get too hot. So I went back inside. Sitting there watching TV, I suddenly realized that I had left the phone outside in the sun. So I rushed back out to retrieve it before somebody called -- because that always happens when you can't find the phone.

 

Anyway, I go out and start looking around. It's nowhere to be found. You know that sick feeling you get when you realize you're in a real mess? Well, that's what I had. It wasn't anywhere. So back inside I go.

 

Looked all over the house...on the floor...in the dog's house...in the bread drawer...nothing.

 

Well, after wasting ten minutes of my life, when I could have been doing something more important -- like wasting ten minutes of my life -- I finally found the phone.

 

Want to know where? Re-read the first paragraph.

 

 

Doesn't your cordless phone have a pager on it's base for just such instances. I would have probably used it after the 1st minute of searching. :sssh:

Do I ever do dumb things?! :lol: Seriously, it's much easier to count the smart things I do than the dumb ones! :lol:

 

The one I do the most often is spend an inordinate amount of time looking for my glasses, when I'm already wearing them. :creepy:

That would take all the challenge out of it.

No! Just joking!

Years ago, we put an addition on our house, including a kitchen. Towards the end, money was getting tight so we bought a slightly used Jenn Air oven/stove to save money.

 

The darn thing never did bake as well as my old oven and for months, I just made do. Finally on Thanksgiving, with 25 people at my home, I baked a turkey for 5 hours only to have a turkey burned on the outside and raw on the inside.

 

Completely indignant, I called a repair man. "This piece of junk never has worked right" I complained loudly.

 

In less than two minutes, he had my oven completely repaired at the tune of about a hundred dollars.

 

Evidently I had the oven selector knob on upside down the entire time. I had been broiling my food for months and never realized it.:sssh:

I ran to see if this was the reason I burn so much food...and darn it....it wasn't.......I'm obviously just a bad cook:lol::lol::lol:

My latest dumb thing - pulled up to McDonald's started ordering realized I was talking to the trash can.

[oldrambler]

Yes, I have done some pretty dumb things in my life. I cannot list them at this time bc I am not sure if the Statute of Limitations has ran out.

 

 

(I am like RM said in an above post, it would be easier for me to list the smart things that I have done)
