Daft, silly or embarrassing things you have done?

I got stuck in a lift once when out shopping.

Cue panic setting in, me repeatedly hitting the alarm and shouting for help.

When I eventually turned around, I realised the doors had opened at the opposite side! :rotfl:

Slinky

I went to collect my shoes from the cobblers, put the change in my purse, walked out and left the shoes behind on the counter.

This was a colleague of mine but still makes me laugh now. We worked at the local council, in the property department and dealt with licences for different sorts of shops (ie. bookies, restaurants, etc).

A guy rang up and was talking to my colleague about what he needed to do to open a pet shop. She was going through the questions with him and asked him if the animals would be left there overnight. After some confusion on both parts it eventually turned out that the guy had said s e x shop. God knows what sort of kinky place he must have thought she was talking about, a s e x shop with animals :eek::rotfl:

Probably the most embarassing thing ive done was whilst at work. On my lunch knew i needed petrol so jump in the car go to the garage i normally walk to to get butties n stuff. Filled my car up went in and paid then proceeded to walk back to work. It was only 3 hrs later on shift end and my car was missing that i realised it was still parked at the pump. Garage owner looked less than pleased.

Another embarassing moment in my youth (guessing weve all don something similar) Built a booby trap, went to show parents my booby trap, fell through booby trap, smashed my face open, went to hospital. I did spend most of my childhood in and out of hospitals though so docs had got used to me.

This happened to me last week! Collected emergency tampon from locker and once at the toilets held it between my teeth (non applicator with a plastic wrapper) while I washed my hands. Heard the door behind me opening and in a panic just shut my mouth over it - must have looked like a chipmunk!!!! To make matters worse I had put my keys down my bra as had no pockets. So, there I was tampon in my mouth and lumpy boob. What a sight!!!

When we were moving into our house we had an 8 week period where we had to rent a flat between selling ours and the sale completing on this house. I had everything boxed up and there was little point unpacking as we were only looking at a 2 week stay. DH went to stay at his brothers for a weekend so they could rip out and replace the kitchen. I decided to take my 2 little children to my sister's for the weekend. It was only after I got back that I realised I had gone away and left the front door WIDE open for 3 days :eek: with all ofour belongings already boxed up ready for the burglars . Thank goodness nothing got taken

I found a mans laptop on the wall because he had left it there whilst strapping his son into the car! It had his business card in it and when I returned it he tried to give me £50 and I said no because I was embarrassed because he was gorgeous! OH said I was an idiot!

Saturnalia

On numerous occasions I've reached into my bag for a pen, pulled out a syringe and tried to write with it. Gets a few funny looks, that does!

(It's for taking insulin, but I don't think that's the conclusion most people come to!)

I am cringing even just recalling this epic, regular occuring, mistake of mine. I have this habit of getting into the wrong car as a passenger. I am so oblivious to my mistake that I get to the point of starting a conversation, telling these complete strangers sat in the drivers seat what has just happened in the bank, post office etc. Usually I have done my seat belt up and asked "why are we still sat here, come on get with it, drive off" before the poor scared sh!tless driver asks who the hell I am.

To compound this error even more sometimes these cars have roof racks on, ours doesn't. Others have had kids in the back, particularly embarrassing considering I have been doing this since way before having kids of my own. You would think these little additions would make me realise THIS IS NOT YOUR CAR wouldn't you, but oh no not me.

My other half would be helpfully cracking himself up watching me make a total and utter idiot of myself from the safety of our car. So I may well catch up with one or all of you at some point. My advice, while parked up waiting for someone keep the doors locked and only let the person you are expecting in. Do something positive drivers to stop a fool like me making a twit of myself again. Pleeeeeeaaaaase

Rofl- so funny

An old friend of mine once told me of a hairdressers in West Bromwich which operated out of the front room of a terraced house. Outside was double yellow lines so her OH pulled up while she very quickly ran in to make an appointment.

A very confused old couple who were sat drinking tea and watching TV didn't know what to make of my friend as she ran into their living room that afternoon, but my friend has now learned that the hairdressers is next door.
