I had a dream on night I was late for work. Jumped up and turned on the coffee pot. Went downstairs got dressed and tried to catch weather and traffic on the news. Couldn't figure out why the late show was on. Finally looked at the clock and it said 12 something. Crawled in bed with my clothes on and left the coffee pot in. No auto shut off on it either. Man that was some bad coffee to choke down.
Ok sometimes I lock my truck up in the driveway sometimes I don't. Anyway I was in a big big hurry had a lot of things on my mind, I got in the truck and reached in my pocket for the key and it was not there, what the heck !! now I'm getting excited I have to go now,, I run back in the house,( I keep my truck key separate from my house keys truck key fob no longer works ) grab my extra key, start up and take off, going down the road I hear a tapping noise inside my door I think, now I'm in a hurry so, I don't stop but when I get where I'm going what do I see but the key in the door and the key fob was tapping on the side of the door. I think that's probably the stupidest sting I have ever done
My first apartment, which was just an upstairs room with a small kitchenette and a living area, had a shared bathroom at the top of the stairs. The guy across the hall brought home, uh, some really swell looking women from time to time. Anyway, I forgot my room key when I went to take a shower, and had to go downstairs to the old guy who looked like he'd just as soon have you for dinner...literally......than help. He had a spare key for both up rooms. Oh yeah, I did that twice.What can I say,..... I was 19. Luckily, I moved from there, but not after receiving a whole crapton of parking tickets (there was NOWHERE to park). Long story.
Once when I ran equipment I left my equipment keys on my truck bumper. I took them out of my bibs pocket so I could take my bibs off. Went about 5 miles before the on ramp of the highway and has I was getting on heard a weird little jingle and I can't hear chit. Dawned on me it was my keys. Went back and found not 1 but both sets in the road.
My wife was running late one morning and went to back out of the garage. Problem is the garage door was still down. Whoops. She didn't hit it hard enough to cause major damage to the door, but you can still see the wound. A few years before that I was carrying the 5 HP outboard motor for a small fishing boat I used to have back into the barn. I had a bunch of crap in the way, was in a hurry, then I tripped over the garden hose I'd left on the floor and dropped the outboard motor right on the leading edge of the hood of my 69 AMC Javelin. That left a nice sized dent.
It was a Cleveland vs Steelers Playoff game years ago ... My buddy went out to start his car, get it warmed up. (Had the heat on HIGH.) Well, he locked his keys in the car, no time to drive to his house and back before the game. So we went to the party, watched the game, THEN drove to his house to get the keys. Car was practically melting .. (and the steelers won, he is to say the least a DIEHARD steelers fan)
We have a saying at work "ain't no sense being stupid unless you show it". I always say I might be stupid but I'm not dumb.
This thread could go on forever! The more I think about it the more stupid things that come up with that I've done
My BIL went back into a convenience store he just left and asked loudly "Has anyone seen my sunglasses? I cant find them!".........they were on his head.
Just remembered a couple more. I'm sure there are a lot more as I've done my fair share of stupid in my life. My wife had pulled the car out of the garage to warm it up, put our daughter in the car seat and closed the door. Except she had bumped the door lock button before she closed the drivers door. Kid was in the back seat, doors locked, engine running. She was only a bit over 1 at the time, so no luck in trying to get her to unlock a door. I was at work and had the spare key. Wife called me in a panic. I got home as fast as I could (about 25 minutes), and sure enough, the kid was sound asleep in her car seat like nothing ever happened. She was nice and warm too. Another time I backed out of the garage in the morning and forgot I'd left my snowmobile trailer in the driveway the night before. I hit that thing hard. Didn't hurt the truck, but I left a 2" hitch ball sized dent in the side of the trailer.
HAHA I did it last thursday… I went out to fire it up around 1pm so it would warm up. I was going to go to the dinner for a few I crawled out from under the truck got in the blazer and it was literally 90f inside. It hit me crap its 2:30pm!!!
We need a thread on bad dreams. Mine is I am in a remote hotel with a kitchen that closes early. Every time I dream this I get sidetracked with someone who needs help, only to find when the situation resolved the buffet dishes are all empty and the kitchen is closed, and of course I'm starving in my dream!
Several years ago a co worker locked the keys in a running rental vehicle. It was a frosty morning so he had left the defrost and the windshield wipers on high. By the time the tow truck showed up to unlock the doors the heat and friction had melted the wipers into black smears across windshield
Hubby just came home, he is dying that I shared that. I spent that weekend with buffing compound on the red streaks on his white truck
Had my Harley parked in the driveway and when the ex-wife backed up in a hurry, she knocked it over and said she didn't see it.....hey, wait a minute...hmmm
Years ago mama bear and I were on a long trip. Took off early am. That evening she said...can you believe it was 5º all day it sure don't look that cold. I respond with was the snow melting all day? Yes she said. I ask what temperature does ice melt. She said 32º. Pauses then said is the thermometer off? I smirk and say no but the compass has read S all day for south. Her reply was just shut up!
I have made Lot's of stupid mistakes...But the dumbest thing I have heard..... Cleveland in a playoff game!!
