Posted: 8/28/2006 6:37:59 PM | I searched to see if there was any thread like this..couldn't seem to find one..
Alright so I'm wondering what's some really dumb things you've done.Just things that you have done and instantly regretted.It seemed like a good idea at the time, but the results weren't so good kinda thing.
I'm super clumsy and today I did one of the most lame-brain things ever.
So I was on my way out the door to go to the mall with my sister and I noticed Philip had left the bottle of ketchup sitting on the counter, so as I was trying to hold the door open with my foot I reached over to grab it to put it back in the fridge, while holding my purse and jacket. (Coz I mean it would've been sooo hard to let the door shut and re-open it, or just put down my stuff for 2 seconds).I grabbed the ketchup and THOUGHT i had a good hold on it..I was wrong..BANG.. smashed all on the floor, the plastic bottle broke and ketchup went everywhere...and i mean EVERYWHERE..all over my sandals, pants, the cupboards, stove, Philip's bookbag (hehe) and covered the floor. It really sucked...It wasn't even a regular sized bottle, it was a one of those extra big ones, that he had just opened...UGH 
Plus while I was cleaning it up I broke my favorite cover to my fav ceramic dish I had. It was soo nice and went to the set and it smashed on the floor, coz I EFFIN slipped on the ketchup and grabbed the counter to stop myself from falling and sent it flying on the floor. 
Today really sucked. | |

Posted: 8/28/2006 7:06:37 PM | | Haha..Yeah I always do stupid things...it's soo annoying. I am so clumsy, Philip won't even let me handle a knife half the time...but I mean I did stab him once....it was by accident though..not my fault...he was reaching in front of me and said "Tina watch out" and i turned fast and stabbed him in the arm. It didn't bleed much or anything though...HA. | |

Posted: 8/30/2006 3:22:50 PM | When I was a teenager four guy friends and I were staying at a cottage for the weekend and decided we should go streaking. You know, it was cool in the 1970's.
Well... we had our streak and jumped into my car for our getaway. One of the guys wasn't as quick enough getting in, and he was shouting at us as we started to drive away. I didn't know he wasn't in the car.... but we had to make this quick...
I slammed on my breaks and threw open my door... and he ran into it. He didn't get hurt, but the force on the door bent it back and dented the fender.
Regards,
Mac | |

Posted: 9/5/2006 1:26:52 PM | There are times I go to get in my van with my hands full including a Tim's. I have lost count of the number of times I have driven away with the cup of coffee still sitting on the roof.
As Red Green says "I am a man....and I can change....If I have to." I'm just patiently waiting for that to happen so I can consistantly enjoy my coffees. | |

Posted: 9/5/2006 2:26:16 PM | The latest had to involve the purchase of a bag of chips in Truro.
Mundane, you think?
Only if you are not planning to visit Colorado.
Let me just say, atmospheric pressure does strange things....
I'm not sure which was more frightening...
-the *bang* when the bag burst
-the cascade of potato chips
-finding chip crumbs in my bra (yes, I had one on)
-reason for purchasing chips in Canada... We all know they don't
sell potato chips in America  | |

Posted: 9/5/2006 3:16:37 PM | Well, I've done a few, usually when I'm still half asleep. I am a very organized person so I always had a routine in the mornings, get up, go to bathroom, wash hands, make my drip coffee, get my shower, get dressed and ready for work, then enjoy my coffee.
One morning, I made my coffee as usual, when I got out of the shower I could smell my coffee and rushed to get ready and get my first cup. Well, I had to mop it up off the counter and the floor and off the cubboards, etc. because after I poured the water in and turned it on, I sat the pot on the counter and not under the drip. I never got my coffee that morning...not a good day at work. Just seemed to go downhill from there.
I now have a drip coffee maker that "does not" drip unless the pot is on it properly. Good thing too, because I have done the exact same thing often.
Another: anyone else ever walk directly into a perfectly clean full length glass door at a mall?When, at Christmas time of course, when the mall is completely packed, and it happens to be the only store not open for midnight madness.
Its good I can laugh at it now.

Posted: 12/7/2006 11:20:36 PM | hi Cassidy - you ARE funny!! thanks for the laugh
Here's one of mine: Visiting Toronto a few years ago, i was near the end of an exhausting day and had been waiting for a call from someone i was really looking forward to seeing - both of us had tight schedules. As it happened, i was at a pit-stop in the restroom of a fancy downtown store just finishing up when my cell phone rang. Knowing i was alone and not wanting to miss the call, i decided to answer and make the arrangements to get together.
I should have let it go to voicemail.
While on the call, i quietly grabbed my winter coat and open purse (i'd just opened it to get the phone) chatting wittily as i exited the stall door - fully intending to flush once i'd hung up - only to hear the thing flush VERY LOUDLY behind me. The sound echoed through the massive, marble-clad room. It was one of those automatic "sensor" toilets...
After an uncomfortable pause, quick nervous chuckle and explanation from me, i proceeded to place my coat on the gleaming marble counter, my purse on top, so that i could free up a hand and actually hold the phone decreasing the risk of accidentally hanging up (until then, i'd been using the old "shoulder-ear-clamp" method). I relaxed a bit, charmed my listener with my quick wit, made the final plans as to where/when we'd meet in the next hour, and then...just as i was delivering an anticipation-building farewell, my bulky coat unfolded, hurling my purse into the sink! But what luck! it was ok. The purse landed on its feet and miraculously nothing spilled even though it was still open, gloves sitting right on top as i'd left them! Phew. I caught the momentary look of utter dismay then relief reflected back at me in the fancy mirror. I was glad because it had been one of those days when you don't think you can take one more thing..
Then, that sink with my purse triumphantly sitting open in it was the scene of that "one more thing". It turns out the toilet was not the only automatic "sensor" thing in that bathroom. | |
