Daft, silly or embarrassing things you have done?

I've done the looking for glasses while wearing them. I also have woken up after a night out thinking that my poor eyesight has been miraculously cured.... only to realise that I have forgotten to take out my lenses.

I'm also very good at spending ages on spreadsheets and presentations only to close them without saving them first. I do that at least once a week.

One of my earliest memories was when I was about 4 and my mum and I went to collect my brothers from cubs... I ran up it a little boy and gave his a big hug and kiss thinking it was my brother... it wasn't! I was so embarressed! I made my mum promise to never speak about it again!

Years ago, I hired a Porsche to impress the girlfriend. Decided to take it through a carwash to get it really clean for a few pictures of "my" Porsche. Didn't tape the rear screen wiper down (as the car wash instructions said) and the wiper, which was mounted in the rear screen, got caught in the roller. The screen shattered and the wiper, complete with motor, went round and round with the roller, beating seven bells out of the car.
My parents found it very amusing and said I should have just lit a hamlet cigar, as it was at the time when the "happiness is a hamlet cigar" ads were running (which dates it a bit)!

I listen to the radio walking to work and they had a competition, and the contestant had to answer "Who lives in a pineapple under the sea?"

Not being a contestant but loving the theme tune, I bellowed "Spongebob Squarepants"

And then realised there was a old chap with 2 dogs who had stopped to look at the peaceful view from the bridge. I had shouted in his ear nearly... witnessed by most of the local secondary school walking to the sweet shop.

He now does a runner if he sees me approaching.

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

This has happened to me on numerous occasions! But, in my defence - It isnt my fault! its OHs! if he WILL buy a common silver/blue/red car and then goes and parks somewhere completely different from where he let me out...........and another car of the same colour/shape parks there............What does he expect? I suspect he does it on purpose (knowing I dont know a Ka from a Kia) as he is usually Pi$$in himself laughing after I have hurriedly exited the 'strangers' car! I keep telling him that one day I may prefer the stranger and drive off with him!
I did get one 'offer' after I had picked up a chinese takeaway.......but the smell of sweaty body alerted me to the fact that it wasnt 'our' car!

i once waited over an hour outside a local theatre because that is where I asked OH to pick me up - for some reason known only to himself OH waited outside the Library! at that time of night I could have earned myself a good few quid! I ended up (just) catching the last bus home! I didnt speak to OH for all of ten minutes! then we had the mother of all rows!

I attended an important board meeting at the hospital last week and forgot the put my phone onto silent, when my phone rang it had the Phineas and Ferb title track blaring out, I couldn't find the stupid thing in my bag so the board and my manager heard
"Like maybe, building a rocket, or fighting a mummy, or climbing up the Eiffel Tower
Discovering something that doesn't exist, or giving a monkey a shower
Surfing tidal waves, creating nanobots, or locating Frankenstein's brain
Finding a dodo bird, painting a continent, or driving your sister insane etc etc etc"

To say the atmosphere was frosty was an understatement, however one kind man who was either a fan himself, or had kids, very kindly finished the verse off!

I just blew out my candles...

..then went and tried to blow out my lamp.

:rotfl: years back a group of us (uni students) went hostelling. F & C drove down in F's black mini with the food, the rest of us went by train. Nearing the hostel we spotted f's mini parked and thought how funny it would be to carry it round the corner. We just lifted it when a nearby bedroom window flew open and an angry man in his vest yelled at us to put his f***ing car down. Yep you guessed it, not F's car at all :rotfl:

Quite likely it was me. My other half refers to these embarrasing incidents as my wacky hobby

One of these days it is going to get me into trouble. It does concern me that I might get into the car of an axe murdering type and never be allowed to get out. Unlikely but you never know _pale_

One bloke tried to chat me up. Probably thinking I was some desperate sort trying my luck to get close to him. Considering I had just climbed into his car, squeezed his thigh and told a naughty joke before clocking he was not my OH it was hard to argue he had misread things I suppose

When will I ever learn!

I had 3 women do this to me lol

all at our main hospital, the mind boggles lol

So, if any of you did this to a woman sat in a car on the royal Bolton hospital car park, it was me, and you know who you are and if you did it.:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

I lock the door now as soon as I get in it lol just in case

My Mam left me outside a shop and got on the bus to go home :eek: she actually remembered about after about 3 miles and had to hop off the bus and wait for another to go back!

*max*

This made me laugh!
