lets share some stupid moments/ actions we had in the past. they might have been awful back then, but now they seem funny, dont they?

in freshman year at highschool, we were using these tins of oil, i cant remember what they are called. but you set the whole thing on fire, and it keeps a low blue flame. well the teacher asked me to put it out, she'd specifically told us how, by dropping the lid on it. but me being the empty headed douch i am, i immediately blew on it as hard as i could XD. it send a stream of flame that practically licked her arm. id never seen someone look so shocked at me. XD i think she was dumbfounded at my ignorance. XD

I was in high school and softball practice has gotten over. I am standing in the hallway waiting for my dad to come pick me up. I see the fire alarm and it has the cover over it and it says "Lift Here" so I life it and the sound goes off and I jump and put it back and the sound turns off. I thought I had set off the alarm but a teacher came out and told me it was just an alarm that the thing was open, not that it sent the alert to the firemen. I was embarrassed I did that.

hehe, that's pretty funny :P. too literal and gullible? XD

I don't know. Maybe it was an aspie thing and I just acted on the words instead of thinking about my actions. But it was still stupid. Hey the words did say "Life Here" and it caught my attention and I did it.

I was working as a front desk clerk at a hotel. At the end of my shift I went to punch my time card which was in the back where a security guard was stationed. I went down the hall and just when I turned a corner I realized that I had left my pocketbook back at the front desk. I started to turn around to get it but then I thought no, I'll check out first and then go back to get it. But then I turned back thinking I would go back and get it and then check out. Then I turned again thinking the best way to do it was the original plan of checking out first and then going back to get it. So, all this time I'm literally walking a few feet, stopping and turning, walking a few feet and then turning again. By the time I got back to where the security guard was, she was laughing hysterically. She had been watching me in the monitor the whole time. I'm used to this. I just shrug.

I do this ALL. THE. TIME. :roll:

I can waste an amazing amount of time trying to figure out the fastest way to do something. :roll:

One day, I was waking up for college as normal... I brush me teeth, eat my breakfast and get dressed and the usual.
I walk outside the door and catched the bus.

One thing that I ended up forgetting was my college pass to get inside.... So I had to take the bus all the way back from the half way point to my destination and what's even worse that I also stupidly stopped at a stop earlier and i had ran all the way home... I was so exhausted and couldn't find my college pass. :lol:

Guess what the funny thing was? I left it on the table where I normally put it and I had to run all the way to the bus stop and took the bus....

Finally, I reached the building and but guess what? My tutor was also really late :lol:

What a lucky entrance, without getting in trouble :lol:

Yes, but don't you find that once you do figure it out and get the routine streamlined, it really is faster than the competition as long as the system is not disturbed or tinkered with in any way?


As far as stupid moments - after 35 years of ad-libbing on the radio, I have too many to remember, and many that I can recall, I still won't talk about because they're too embarrassing. I'll have the lingering aftertaste of foot in my mouth until the day that I die. :oops:

Glad I'm not the only one who does things like this despite that we are supposed to be logical.

I still remember trying to close my car door with problems... And a growing pain in my legs... I forgot to put my legs in the car - :lol:

Another time, quite recently was the time I couldn't find my keys and I wanted to start the car. I had already put them in the ignition.

Or - stripping my computer down to find out why it wasn't booting up, only to find the problem was never there as I glance over to see the monitor light not flashing, because I NEVER turned it on.

About 10 years ago, I electrocuted myself. I pulled back some rubber protective coatings on a LIVE wire on a switch that's hooked up to 240v AC. I still remember the feeling from it, but I didn't yelp in pain. A few years later I had learnt my lesson. I tested a power supply, checked it all over ready to power it on, and guess what? I get electrocuted again, instantly dropping the switch. I checked it over like 10 time before I turned it on.

When I was a teenager I woke up suddenly in the middle of the night because somebody's hand was on my face. I shrieked bloody murder and flung the hand away but the hand kept coming back and falling on my face. I was in a state of utter panic. My entire family rushed into my room to discover me fighting my own arm, which had fallen asleep.

I shut my bedroom door on my head once, but of course it didn't shut, it just hurt. I don't really know how it happened, but I must have been looking at something on the other side.

Yeah, they have a nasty habit of popping up in front of you when you least expect it
