This reminds me of one (not recent, but still funny). I was writing "Happy birthday!" on a card for someone while watching the episode of Rugrats where they go to the miniature golf course and think the ice cream statue is real ice cream. Well, I realized I wrote "Happy ice cream!" instead of "Happy birthday!" :lol:

:lol:
It seems to be a pattern with me. I called my friend Barbara once and got the voice mail:
I Ieft this message:
"Hi Aimless, this is Barbara I mean Hi Barbara this is Aimless".
She was laughing when she called back. We grew up together and she knows me better than anybody.


Haha, it's always something I write instead of something I say. I just remembered another time I did this: fall of my freshman year (2008) I pulled my first all-nighter. I felt fine during my first class, and I had just finishing saying that to my friend ("I don't feel sleepy or any different at all, it's weird") and then I noticed that on my notes, instead of Patrick, I had written Penis. My last name made it even worse: I wrote Penis Hunter. Luckily I erased it before she saw :lol:

that sounds SO nice! i will have to find a nudisty area where i could get away with something like this, in warmer weather. but to maintain the health of the tenderfoot soles of my feet i would have to insist on wearing sandals.

This morning I opened a cupboard door into my face while trying to get out a box of cereal then I put the cereal back in the fridge and tried to put the soy milk in the cupboard before I realized I had the two mixed up. I was spot on this morning... heh heh heh.

A little while ago, I had to buy another car. I bought my first stick shift. My dad and brother have stick shift cars, and I wanted to know how to drive it, too.

One of the fears of having a stick shift is starting on a hill. So in the middle of the night right after I got this car I went to a deserted hill and pulled over to practice. I try, and can't go. Try, can't go. Try, can't go.

And every time I try, I'm rolling farther down the hill. I'm starting to panic, because there is a parked car at the bottom of the hill and a traffic light at the bottom. And it's midnight, and I can't call my dad to come rescue me. I'm imagining calling AAA to have them come rescue me because I can't drive my own car.

I keep trying, and I'm skidding the tires. I can see smoke. Two guys were walking past to a bar and laughing at me. I consider asking them to help me.

I finally look down. I was in neutral and had never put it in first gear.

I discovered the joys of making my very own home-mad coal. Put some nicely chopped vegetables, a little bit of water, and made sure I forgot about it until some heavy smoke brought it to my attention.

Alternative version was making tea without a water or without a tea-bag.

I have a rather bad ulcer in my mouth, but I ate a tin of mandarin oranges earlier. That really hurt.

Has anyone ever turned things on only to remember that they weren't plugged in to begin with? It happened earlier today with my chainsaw when I was doing yardwork.

I took a pottery class. Instead of putting the things I made into a box, I put them in my backpack and got accused of stealing. I thought my things had been graded already, so I wanted to take them home, but they weren't graded.

The thought that was going through my head was "These don't deserve a box labeled "Fragile: Handle with care", they deserve to be put into a dumpster or ran over by a car.
If I did have my driving license, I probably would have done that too. And no, I didn't put them into a dumpster because all the garbage cans on campus are green, so they look like recycle bins.
I did break my things on a day I knew my parents wouldn't be home to stop me.

I didn't have much confidence by the end of the semester, so I thought of my things as "garbage" and didn't even want to take them home with me. My parents were pressuring me to take them home because they paid for my class and they said they "deserve to see what I've done". So this might have been my way of protesting I guess.

The teacher of this class avoids running into me now, because I seem to get him into trouble, and I don't really mean to.

>.> If you happen to be reading this, please forgive me :(

Ooh and I think I may have stolen a tool from someone in that class but I forgot about it and didn't even remember till the class was over.
Oh well, its too late to find whoever that person was that I stole it from. I don't even know who I took it from, that's the worst part.

This was 2 semesters ago.

Does anyone else do stupid stuff like this?

I got on my bike, in 100-degree weather, in the dark, with no phone or water-bottle, and drove randomly while screaming out random pissed off songs, while almost getting run over twice, getting evil looks, and going into the heart of the ghetto part of town, got lost, almost was shot at, and wore a hoodie.

Smart eh?

I took a large swig of apple cider vinegar earlier today and burned my throat. It's rather sore now.


I did this a couple of months ago. I was trying to find a cure for my GERD. It made my throat burn too.

i took a walk in mid-40s weather with the rain pounding down like cats and dogs. i was wearing just a net top shirt and thin scrub bottoms with no umbrella. i was so determined to get in my daily 3 mile walk that i risked my health getting soaked in the cold rain for the better part of an hour. but i am weird that way. i have been known to go jogging in the middle of a thunder and lightning storm.


I've done this!! For a female that's kinda bad too LOL. Something about wet clothing on girls is seen as inappropriate more then if I happened to be a guy and did something like this. But I like doing this. People think I'm crazy, and that "you will catch a cold!".

I must have done this 5 times in my lifetime. I was too preoccupied in my head to notice WTF I was doing. LOL

Ah... not exactly stupid but last night I boiled some water to make tea and forgot to add the actual tea.

The other night I came home from work and opened one of the windows in my apartment to let in a little fresh air. I had completely forgotten that hornets had built a nest in-between the screen and interior pane of that particular window. My arm is still a little red and swollen. Thank God I'm not severely allergic to hornet stings!

Last week I was doing some carpentry work and the person I was working for asked if I would go fetch some insulation he put down in the basement. I always feel uncomfortable walking through other peoples homes like that when I do this kind of work, I started feeling really nervous about it. The thing is... I forgot that house I was working on that day was my parent's house... I live there! :roll:
