I'm going to call my best friend to remind me of stupid things I've done. I've conveniently blocked them from my memory. I know he hasn't.

Today, at this very moment, I am skipping lunch, choosing rather to sit at my desk because of the stupid thing I did. Getting ready for work, at 6:00 in the morning with two grumpy high schoolersand too many pets is my excuse. I was ready to go but unsure which shoes looked better with my tan slacks. Black or brown? I put one of each on and went to the mirror for a final opinion. I am still not sure which of this mornings crisis could have caused me to forget my mix matched shoes. So here I sit. Too ashamed to leave my desk. Humiliated at the thought of all those that have already seen me (A weekly meeting at my sons school this morning, and a client meeting at work)and dreading how late I might have to work, cause I'm sure not leaving til the place is empty!!!

Mybbusername, I am sorry for you, but I am absolutely LOLOLOLOLOL!!! I remember reading somewhere once that people spend too much time being embarrassed and worrying about it when others don't usually remember....so...maybe that will help you out! You sure helped me have a good laugh and I'm having a crummy day...not terrible...but crummy...so...thanks for the good laugh! I hope you don't have to work too late...

LOL Mybbusername!! I have done that before. I wore one navy and one black shoe to work once with a suit! I had a job where I had could not stay at my desk all day. I felt so stupid but I got a good laugh out of it!

My latest was when I was doing the laundry Saturday. I washed the slacks I wanted to wear later. I put the load in the dryer....then when I was getting ready to go out...I went to retrieve my slacks from the dryer. There they were still wet. I had forgotten to push the start button after I closed the door!

Mybbusername, at least you had an excuse...some crisis that must have whisked you off go go resolve right when you were comparing shoes, only to forget to go back and switch to one color. Mom and I both get distracted very easily, even during the most routine tasks. For instance, Mom once got a coffee cup down, measured out the creamer, went over to the coffee pot, then apparently wandered off. She went looking for her coffee later, and there sat the cup, creamer still in it, but no coffee! My most recent classic along the same line was I filled the dogs serving bowls with dry food (I then usually carry the bowls over to their "eating" bowls and pour the food in). After I filled the serving bowls, I wandered off into the kitchen and started casually drinking my coffee. For a few seconds, I couldn't figure out why the Boys were milling around anxiously under my feet! Marysafan, I forget to push the start button on my dryer all the time. Or how about not closing the dryer door all the way...just enough for the electric current to connect so the dryer will run, but open so all the heat goes out the door instead of in the clothes! Or how about the time I filled the washer, and didn't close the lid, so it stopped in mid-cycle and didn't even finish washing the clothes! Oh, and I once sent in my tax return and waited and waited and waited for my refund. Everyone else around me was getting theirs, and I'd sent mine in long before they did......I forgot to sign the return!

The week just before I was leaving my job to get married, I was told that my fiance, who worked at the same place, and I would be initiated into the ball and chain club. This means they cuff your leg to a chain attached to a metal ball the size of a bowling ball, and you have to drag/carry it around for the rest of the day. Now, the thing is if you don't go along with their joke, well... So, a few days before I'm thinking I need to do my laundry so I'll have something decent to wear, pant suit preferably for that day, but my week's schedule is full of other obligations and I won't have time until the night before. The morning before I'm running late. I grab a dress, my most unflattering one, but I don't have time to change or even do anything great with my hair, so I wad it up in a bun on top of my head. That's okay. I'll look great tomorrow, right? Guess what? They decide to initiate us a day early. Yep, there's pictures. Aarrrggggghhhh.

Heh, I'm feelin' ya, Bbbuser; Saturday I was having a merry lot of fun picking on Colossus because he had on a pair of mismatched black socks (one sock was older and washed out, the other was new but they were the same style). A little while later, while I'm lounging with my feet up on the sofa, Colossus says "I wanna check something." He sticks his left foot up against my right foot, and then his right foot up against my left. Well, donchanknow I'd indulged myself in my favorite type of shopping spree, which is in Colossus' drawers and closet. And yup, I had the other mismatched pair on my feet. LOL.

Well...add me to the stupid list. This morning dh and myself were replacing the bulbs that burned out in our florecent light in the kitchen. I took the plastic covering and cleaned it off..well while I was drying it off a piece broke off of it. So I got out the super glue and while I was gluing it back on, I ended up gluing my thumb and first finger to the plastic...so for the next 2 hours I am walking around with a piece of plastic to my hand. We of course had to show a rental house that we have...so I had to travel with this on my hand. I did get my thumb free with help of a knife and dh. I got my finger free with patience, soaking in water, soap and a sharp razor blade without dh or kids around. Now I have raw skin and a bandaid on my finger. I feel like Tim the Tool man Taylor

Skootz, Been there, done that more times than I care to count. Next time you're in the store where they have super glue, pick up a tube of the super glue remover. It works great and is a lot less painful.

When I was about 10, my mom couldn't get her car to move at all. So she had my brother,9, and me push her car out the driveway and down a hill until the hill started going up, then we pushed her up the hill trying to get her going fast enough so she could pop the clutch. We got her up the hill most of the way and then she took off. That nite she came home and appologized to my brother and me for having the emergency brake on.

Oh goodness, you brought back a memory there KL. I dropped a ring down a sink that was not mine. They had to get a plumber come out and take apart pipes and stuff. Geez, I didn't feel it was stupid until you mentioned it tho (((KL)))

Today makes the seventh time I've broken a toe! I think that is just about as stupid as any thing, since I refuse to wear shoes and the ironing board tripped me. It's the little black and blue one on the left this time.

I've done so many stupid things. One year at Christmas I took pictures with my grandmother's camera. Later that day, we realized she forget to put film in it. Grandma and I had a big chuckle about it.

Urgrace, my husband also refuses to wear shoes. I think that is why he moved to Florida! Twiggyish, not so long ago I taped over a tape I had made of my daughter. I am still sick about it!

Thanks for all the chuckles everyone! Not something I did, BUT, one of the most embarassing moments was several years ago. My neighbor had stuff out on her sidewalk for a yard sale and needed to leave for a bit so asked me if I could keep an eye on the stuff while she was gone. I had bought a long wig from her and had it on. A guy came up and was looking at stuff and my older daughter who was only about 9 or 10 came up behind me and grabbed the wig off my head! I was SOOOOOOO embarassed!!!

About the super glue, I've gotten it on my fingers before when glueing something and had the item stick to my fingers. I found out several years ago that nail polish remover will help remove it, but it does take some work and time depending on how much you have on you.

Mybbusername, I just had to come back here after watching our tape of American Idol tonight. There was a United Airlines commercial on that I hadn't seen before. It was done in cartoon fashion, no dialogue. Background music was "An American In Paris." It was about a man who went to an interview, and at the last minute he saw.....he was wearing one brown shoe and one black shoe! I just couldn't stop laughing! Its all your fault. That commercial would have been just another commercial if it hadn't been for you! I sure hope you are having a better day as you read this!

Oops, now for my own stupid thing....They were playing "Rhapsody in Blue," not "American in Paris." At least I had the right composer! Here's where you can play a clip of the ad! Just select which format you want to play it in... United Airlines Commercial

Whoami, and all who shared their sympathies for my humiliation, I am glad to report that by 5:15 everyone was out of the office and I was able to make my escape. (Bunch of slackers). Flooded with releif that I could finally leave the office I called my 15 and 17 year old sons. That was even more stupid than wearing two different shoes. They are STILL laughing.
