First off, I'd like to say that I DO infact have a job. :mrgreen: I only have access to the net here. But I been on here so much today, ya'll are probably thinking, what DOES she do? Cause she sure don't work much..." :jester: Anyway, there was a thread a long time ago about stupid, silly stuff we do. Well, we have alot of newbies now and it would be fun to see and know their times and that we are not the only crazies out there. I'll go first. The other day I went to get gas. It was a pre-pay place and there were no c/card pumps so I had to go in, pay and then pump. I went in, got a drink and a snack, paid for that and my gas, went out got in the car and drove off up the road. As I gazed down at my gas gage, I was like, "Do I have a gas leak? I just filled up!" No......I drove off without getting the gas.. I then drove back and of course everyone in there saw me pay and leave and were all STILL there laughing at me.
Today I had a mother of my son's friend over who I had never met before. Right before she left (lunchtime) my son was hungry, so I started cooking him some macaroni. I put the pot of water on the stove, turned the burner on, she and I talked for another couple minutes, then she left. I went back to see if the water was boiling yet, and lo and behold, I had turned on the wrong burner! She must have thought I was as dumb as a box of rocks, turning on the wrong burner, and she must have noticed, since we were in the kitchen talking the whole time! (my back was to the stove but she was facing it). If that wasn't bad enough, after I did put the pasta in, I stirred it, then put my spoon down ON THE HOT BURNER! Then I picked it up and burned my hand!! Sometimes I wonder how I make it through the day!
Oh yeah, it's fine. But boy did I feel dumb! (she wasn't there at that point, so it was only my 3yo that witnessed that!)
TMI for some ... A month or so this happened to me: First I guess you guys need a little "prep" on why I might need "saran wrap" for a shower/bath. I have a PICC Line so I needed to cover it up for the bath. I was preparing to take a shower by doing the following. Going to the kitchen to get saran wrap. Finding water proof medical tape. Wrapping Saran Wrap nicely (or not so nicely) around arm and tape top and bottom opening up with medical tape. I took off my clothes (quite difficult with the newly added saran wrap); get in the bath tub. You think it's over? Not quite. I start bathing myself and I didn't notice anything out of the ordinary until ... I felt something that's just plain odd. I looked down and realize what I "forgot" to do. Yes I left my BRA ON during a bath and I didn't realize it until I started washing said bra and thought "gee my boobs are squishy today. That's odd." I was really out of it that day.
Haha! I've done that before! Not in a long time though, but I have done it before! I love this thread, hope a lot more people join in!
I've walked out of the bathroom (at my really old job) as a front desk clerk not knowing my skirt got caught up in my drawers and went to the front desk to help a customer. He wanted a 6pk of beer (it was kept behind the front desk), i turned around, BENT over got him his beer and he just smiled and said THANK YOU! The maintenance guy was there an witnessed the whole thing and told me after the guest left that my *** was showing - i mean everything! HG showing her *** yet again! :lol: Some things never change.
So many to choose from! When I was in high school, I sang in a youth choir in our church, there were only 4 or 5 of us. One beautiful Easter Sunday, we are walking down the stairs beside the alter and yours truly got the heel of of my shoe caught in the hem of my choir robe and fell face first onto the floor in front of approximately 600 people. I wished the floor would have opened up and swallowed me! I can laugh about it..........................NOW! I think I've told this one before: How about showing up to prom in the most beautiful gown, the same one the 6 month pregnant girl is wearing. :shock:
Last night my husband and I were going to the Deacon Christmas Party. I had been rushing to get the kids homework and studying done before we left as well as get myself ready and dinner cooked for the kids. We were running a few minutes late so we rushed out the door. When we got to the party I realized I had forgotten to put on my shoes and was still wearing my slippers! We were too late and too far to go home and change. Oh well-- my feet were comfortable the whole night.
A few years ago we had our national accreditation with the State of Lousiana as the primary accrediting agency. They were one of the first and we had been limited in choice. There had been some issues with people who were also accredited for one of our types of service who did not follow the methods codified in the Code of Federal Register. I had pointed out this as being a potential problem before and this confirmed it. As a result, I was invited to participate in a panel discussion with industry, state, and federal regulators on the issue of accreditation. When the panel was seated, I was directly between the same representative for Louisana with which I had been communicating and the representative for the group that was not following the proper methodolgy. It was very embarrassing for them I am sure, as I gave my information and supporting documentation just as if they were not there. A few of the audience spoke to me afterwards about how they would squirm when I spoke. The result was the group lost their accreditation, the state of Loisiana got a federal review, I got a call from the head of the Lousiana DEP and several of the participants in the program administration to apologize, and we moved our primary accreditation to the State of New Jersey.
OMG! I totally would do something like that! Did anyone notice and say something to you? (I'm sure plenty people noticed, but whether they'd say anything, that's another story!)
Speaking of shoes, when I was hugely pregnant with DS, I went to work with one navy shoe and one black shoe on. That's what I get for buying the same shoe in different colors. Oh, and also once went into the men's restroom by mistake instead of the ladies while pregnant. In WAY too much of a rush to get there! :lol:
Ok, I'm about to tell a story that I haven't told ANYONE else in the world. About 10 years ago I was at the gynecologist for my yearly "up on blocks" appt. Now you ladies know what I am talking about but for you men that may not have a clue let me draw you a mental picture. You are in a cold room, buck naked on a cold table that has thin (clingy) paper on it. There are stirrups that pull out from the end of the examining table and they make you scoot your bottom all the way down to the end of the table (almost to the point of falling off the table onto the floor) and put your feet up in them. So you are hanging on the edge of the table (naked) with your feet up in these stirrups that are about 2 miles apart and the doc tells you to let your knees fall naturally to the side. Yeah right. Anyways, I'll spare you the details of the exam but I had to explain the position I was in so that this next part would make sense. So, the doc gets done with the exam and stands up at the end of the table and tells me to scoot back up on the table. Now I'm a big girl so scooting doesn't come easy to me, especially when my bare butt is glued to the thin paper on the table. The doc could see my struggle so he tells me to push with my feet (still in the stirrups). I proceed to give it a good push and my right foot slips off the stirrup and hits the doctor right in the chest!!! He goes down hard onto the stool and I look up and there is blood on his shirt. I had cut my heel when it went flying over the end of the stirrup. He's trying to get his breath back where I had knocked the living daylights out of him and he's trying to make sure my heel doesn't need stitches (it didn't). By this time I'm about to faint from embarassment so I am determined to get off that table and get my clothes on and get the heck out of there immediately. I gave a little push and scooted back a little on the table to where I could just sit up but when I tried to sit up all the lube that he had used during my exam decided to come out and my nether region made a loud noise that sounded just like a huge poot! I was devestated. I've never been back since. Two months later I made hubby get neutered.
