DumbAss Days

[Dragonsreach]

Anyone else had one?

I'll share my story of this weeks classic.
Fran and I get up at 04:30 daily, a carry over from when we had Chukki, and normally we leave the house after shower etc around 05:45.
Thursday was no different, I'm driving down the motorway in grotty, misty, foggy spray and I'm about 6-7 miles away from home when look at the wagon (truck for USA) ahead and think that looks weird.
Takes me around 30 seconds to realise I'm Not Wearing My Glasses.
Que exit at next junction and return home.

I wouldn't care but Fran actually looked at me as we left that morning and didn't click that something was missing.

Go on share a good one.

I got one. Hubby had (like usual) the remote. The next thing I know, he's hunting high and low for it, tearing the couch apart. I join in and we turn the living room upside down. Nothing - it's disappeared. I ask him to retrace his steps. He mentions he went into the kitchen. I notice he has a cold Pepsi.

I walk into the kitchen and open the fridge. And there was the remote - just chillin'.

Now when my husband misplaces something the first thing I ask is if he checked the fridge.

Well I could never get that far without my glasses but have spent a good five minutes wondering why my eyes hurt when I was wearing my prescription sunnies and my contacts at the same time

Well ladies and gentlemen I've got a tale of epic dumbass.
My dad and I changed the oil and filter in my car. He says
"we best run the car around the block to see it's ok"

"I haven't got much petrol, let's go in your car"
so we both drive around the block in his car!!!!!

Ah there's nothing better than the old double take situation.

Probably my best one is deciding to show work mates my juggling 4 items.

Could find anything to use so thought 4 ceramic cups would do......well after the first re catch, there weren't any cups left, just flying ceramic.

Don't know if it qualifies, but here goes:
My 6 year old has been on a knock-knock joke kick lately.
She tells me "Daddy, I know a great knock-knock joke!"
(I'm only half listening as I am working on sculpting a wolf head hilt for a Space Wolf Frostblade.)
Me: "Uh Huh. I would like to hear it."
She says in her 6 year old enthusiastic voice: "Ok! You start it!".
So without even thinking about it, I say: "Knock Knock"
She says: "Who's there?"
Me: "......"
Her: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Couldn't beleive I walked right into her little trap!
As punishment, she was forced to eat a dreamsicle and then go tell the joke to her mother!

At one time I worked for EMI in Hayes in Middlesex and lived in West Drayton... I rode my motorbike home to see my girlfriend at the time for lunch... around 5 miles. As I was getting ready to go back to work I couldn't find my crash helmet. Turns out I didn't wear it when I rode home. D'oh!

I dunno if it's dumb or just plain embarrassing but this is one of my classics. At uni most of my friends were located in halls and being Comp Sci students we naturally had a LANs and played games and traded p*#n *cough*. Unfortunately I wasn't in the same hall (in fact I was in private housing of my own) but used to crash almost every night in a friends hall room since he used to stay in his GFs. Anyway, they used to get subsidized lunches which were super cheap so one day I decided to go with them.

After choosing your food you tell the lady you hall name and number for the discount. So I am like, well I crash in your room so you're using your number so what should I say? They give me a number of a room of a person that apparently never goes. Sweet...

"What's your room number?" She asks. "Rowlett 23" I reply... She looks down a list. "So you're Kim Wong?" ...................................................
..............................

"Ok I'll pay"

All I could hear was my buddies laughing out loud behind me! bastards!!

A number of years ago I was sitting at my desk at work and looked down to notice I was wearing one white and one black shoe. (Was working two jobs at the time, so I chalk it up to fatigue.)

 

[skraaal]

Drinking tea, tilting the mug so as to get said tea into my mouth only to realize the mug was no where near my lips...I lol'd.

 

[Arma]

Herb: Done that one with school... one shoe and 1 trainer! and didn't notice until I got to school!

Skraaal: SO MANY TIMES! I hope it wasn't too hot

How many people have either washed their brush in said drink (mine is usually coffee) or even drunk their paint water!? (I have done this too).

 

[Dragonsreach]

Herb the bitter, who hasn't done it, LOLA good few years ago the boss I then had called me into her office and asked me to do her a favour.She,d done the odd shoes, gig complete with diferring size heels.So imagine 5"0' Redhead, with a heavy tread, slighty Rubenesque, trying to walk down an open plan office going Click Clomp, Click Clomp. Discreet.........not a chance.
