I am a fool today because....

[rjt65]

Ok so we all do something stupid where we want to smack ourselves around, do the Jim Carrey butt-kickin' to oneself we saw in Liar, Liar.....

so I thought to start a thread on the stupid things we do to ourselves.

I give myself the dunce cap award for today. So paying a 6 month school tax bill today of about 3700$. Wife asked me if I could drop it off at town tax hall today, i said ok write the check leave for me etc...

Went to my keys check there and i slip in the tax envelope with the other papers... throw out garbage and have to work my way over road being reconstructed to my car down the block..drive to tax place (15 mins away) --long line about 20 peeps in front of me but moves fast--- for some reason I check envelope all is there but the check is gone----

Spend an hour looking in car, retracing steps at home looking ....but no where to be found... I LOST IT!

arrghh!!!!!!!!! it gets better --so i go home and write another check go wait in line again only 5 peeps in front od me than i get up there and see i switched the payor name and amount text hahahah :eek2::eek2:

At least i had checkbook in car---take long breath go back to line and pay tax's....3rd times a charm...

Ok all my fault but why oh why will my wife not agree to move to electronic banking!!! ahh i feel better....

[Kim L.]

Mama told me there'd be days like these...

I hate doing stuff like that. Mailing the right check to the wrong company, for example. Electronic banking does make it a lot easier; we pay almost everything online.

[Johannesburg-gal]

I withdrew money with my debit card....
I took my card back and even the receipt....
Left the money....
About R800(RSA currency) I lost....

[Ri The Lousy Translator]

As they say, s*** happens. :biggrin2: I'm sorry though...
TGIF! :wink2:
Refresh your neurons (as I'm planning to do :D), and make sure nobody will ever cash the bad cheques. :suspect:

[Todash]

Today at work, doing a last-minute check of the tickets for the release, I realized that two weeks ago I had checked a defect fix, found it was not right, and sent it back to the developer ... only I forgot to change the workflow step so that he would get an email sent to him to let him know about it.

I know that probably doesn't make complete sense to anyone but another IT person, but suffice it to say that I did something pretty dumb and then made it worse by not finding it until the last minute.

I'm a fool today because...

By the time this is posted I'll be at work instead of sitting in my favorite chair reading a book.

Makes me a fool quite often.

[Agincourt Concierge]

I am a fool everyday, for this I need a thread?? :grinning:

Foolish act #594,602,442,992: In attempting to scale the K2 of laundry... without thinking, I poured bleach into a load of colored uniform tops...now I have tops with pretty, white dots!!!

[aussiewonder]

This happened a while back, but I was checking the brake fluid in my car,( I am a hands on kind of person) And when I put the cap back on and placed the bar back over the cap
I got my fingers hung under the bar ( for lack of right word) and I couldnt get it off!Finally got neighbors attention and he got me unstuck! Felt Foolish big time!:blush:

I completely agree with you. I'd rather be reading :biggrin2:

My most foolish was probably in Boston on Friday though. We were walking through Quincy Market, looking for the Hard Rock Cafe ... I always have to go and get a pin. We couldn't find it so I asked a policeman. He hitches his thumb back and says "you mean the building behind me?" DUH! :oops:

[bopropadop]

Then, I, too, am a fool.

At that point you could have said that you had been stunned by his incredible presence in his uniform...

My foolish thing is fumbling a bottle of shampoo at the start of my shift last night. It had a built in pump and was a big bottle with a lot of weight to it. The pump hooked onto my little finger and then it proceeded to dig a couple of really gory trenches into my finger. I'm talking meat shreds fallin' off the finger. I carry a good selection of bandaids in my purse. Always. I fixed it up and went back to work, but the pain kept me nauseous for a while. It is still quite sore today, but at least it is not thumping like last night.

It'll take a while to heal, methinks.

[Anni M]

Because I post sh1t like this! :biggrin2:

Aaah, come on Anni M...that was not sh*t...it was very humorous ! Yippy-Kye-Yay!

This question hurts my brain!
k/d!! :biggrin2:

Actually, AC, i thought it was soooo silly and cute that I had to share it...the song was stuck in my head all weekend:

"Git Alonnng, git along, little dohgey...git alonnng...Yippy Kye YAy..." :laugh:

[Lilies13]

I do stupid things all the time...that might be cause I'm not that bright...hey know your limits!
But don't sweat it too much, it happens, learn and move on...sorry about it though.
And no there is not enough space here to list all the stupid stuff I do in one day...I am my own worst enemy; why I even have a job is beyond me.

[Sundrop]

OK, so there's a new traffic light on the road I drive every day to take my daughter to school. The other day, I'm driving along minding my own business when a car almost pulls out right in front of me. I lay down on the horn, and skid to a stop and give the other driver one of 'those' looks. She smiles and points to the light---yeah, it's red on my side. All I can do is shrug and return the smile.

[Dana Jean]

I know I posted this somewhere else, but, apparently I do this a lot.

I forgot where I parked my pick-up, so I wandered through the parking lot pushing the lock door button on my keychain because it beeps when you do that. I just kept walking until a vehicle started beeping and then I zeroed in on it. My version of vehicular Marco Polo.

And, it doesn't help that I'm half deaf, so it takes me a really long time to be able to even hear the beeps.

I also spilled tea in my crotch--gray sweat pants because I just came from the gym--so of course, the wet shows up really, really well. But, that did not stop me from going into my local mall to pick up my copy of Just After Sunset. I just camouflaged it with my supersized McVera Bradley backpack--minus the fries.

[BlackThorn]

So, I'm working on a job, and there's this neighbor guy that is one of those totally social cats. The kind that stop you to chat if he gets half the chance. He lived next door from where we were working. I never really click with social cats like that, especially near my home. I'd rather not be social, it's just how my brain works... which is crappy, cause I really do like my buddhist neighbors, and I've never even been in their house.

But anyways... There's two women that hang out over this guys house. One is a blonde that looks pretty close to my age and is kinda cute, although her body shape isn't something I really shoot for when I'm looking for somethin' to play with. And there's also a brunette that lives over there too, or goes over there, I don't even know. There's some kids there too, which I know are the guys.

So as I'm on porch of the jobsite, I catch the Blond, about to walk into the house. She's holding a rack of Coors Light in her hands, and she's staring right at me with the hungriest bedroom eyes I could ever imagine.

I said out loud (my buddy was right next to me, and I have a total locker-room tongue around most of my male friends)... well, I said something like, "Hey baby... I'll drink those Coors and give your ass a workout if your gonna keep eyeballin' me like that..."

Now, honestly, I was just kidding around and being fun. This woman was not one I'd ever go out of my way for. And honestly, she was pretty much raping me with her eyes. No joke. Sly smile too.

So the dude, I didn't notice at the time, was within' earshot of me. She probably didn't hear me, but he did clearly. Now he freakin' hates me. He won't talk to me, and I can see the hate seething from his eyes every time I pass him.

Not that I care, if you can't handle me that's your problem, not my own. I do what I do in life because it's fun for me, and it's what I'm happy with. Duh. If you can't handle me, either start a fistfight or go back inside kid.

I've been feeling a little wicked lately though. I bet I could whip up a spell that might... um, alter how he views me? hahahahaha.

But yeah, I sometimes say stuff that you'd expect to hear from a dude sitting in front of a bunch of strippers at the club. Like, I have a habit, of saying, "FU** ME!" if something bad happens, like if I spill coffee on myself or something, or someone skanks when they're tryin' to score the winning goal. It's kinda a yucky habbit to shout, "FU** ME!!!" when something goes wrong...

But as far as I can tell, my friends like my dirty mouth, and even when I'm being rude, I'm awake and frothy enough so I can tangle up a mind with my tongue, including the ability to tantalize with a well positioned word or two...

[Blue Delirium]

I lost the Christmas money one year. My husband deals with all the cash now.

[poisonbat]

I knowingly let my husband lie to me! Even when I catch him in a big lie he always blames it on his childhood, cries and tells me it wont happen again, yet it does. Day after day he lies to me. So I am a fool for staying with a liar.:bat:

I sent down the name of a terminating employee. I wrote the wrong name!! OMG thank god someone caught it. Imagine!

[Kim L.]

I'm a fool today because I let my driver's license expire. (Well, the DMV didn't tell me it was up...)

[ally88]

Ive been a fool today because i have worked so hard while other people have taking advantage, its true the more you do, the less other people will do.
I say im going to become lazy also but im one of those people who feels guilty if i dont do things to the best of my ability..so i guess whilst writing this ive just figured out its them who has the problem, not me, at least i can go home knowing ive truly tried to help people...thanks:smile2:

Okay, that's too funny.

[Presque Vu]

... because I just can't get out of the bed in the morning and end up running to work... it doesn't help that I'm also too lazy to clean my winter boots!

[BlackEye]

I am a fool because I drank 15 beers last night even though I have to work today. :sleepy: Well, at least I won the poker game. :)

[bryras]

I walked home from the office for lunch and left my aparment keys sitting on my desk at work. It is way to cold out today to do things like that!

[Spideyman]

I am a fool today cause I went to the feed store to buy a months supply, at check out realized I'd left the check book at home ( been paying bills that morning and yep- it was on the desk). Thankful they know me well. Check is now in mail to them.:blush:

[Kim L.]

...I drove behind a bus last night, wondering for 5 minutes why a semitruck was advertising Greyhound bus lines.:oo:

[Solar-Pavlova]

Hey, I'm awake, nuff said! :biggrin2:

[Patricia A]

I was a fool today for not leaving my freaking car in the parking lot where I work! I drove home in a shite storm of slicker than snot freezing some kind of wet ice snow crap because I figured it wouldn't be very slick and I didn't want to bother my sister who has a big ol Tim McGraw pick up (four wheel drive) truck and ask her to come and get me. (I shall never make green jokes about her truck again so help me, I swear!)
So I drove my no wheel drive Cobalt home. Holy Cats! What was I thinking! There were 3 cars off the road on my way home and I only live about 15 miles from the store. Oh Did I say I drove home, well that's not accurate, I slid and fishtailed home. I nearly crapped myself and freaked out myself home. So anyhow I'm home, intact and kissing the ground and planning on doing some deep breathing exercises in hopes that my butt cheeks will unclench. :eek2:
See that's how I roll.

I have many moments like that, when I am not 100% in contact with reality.

[LadyPain]

I am a fool today because I continue to look for the best in people.

[Todash]

I am a fool today because I continue to look for the best in people.What's the point of looking for the worst? You'd only find it ... and how would that help?

[Kim L.]

I have many moments like that, when I am not 100% in contact with reality.

Sometimes I wonder how I tie my shoes in the morning. Then I remember I don't wear shoes that need tying.

[poisonbat]

I find myself in a thankless role, yet can not seem to get out of it. :bat:

[Sugar Marie]

My mom walked in on me and my 4 yr old dancing around to stupid, beat heavy music while cleaning this morning.

She said she knocked and that we must not have heard her for the volume. Maybe, but that sure doesn't sound like her:eyebrow:

:grinning:

[LadyPain]

What's the point of looking for the worst? You'd only find it ... and how would that help?

The worst finds me, Todash, when I am trying to look for the best. Lost cause, I'm afraid.

[Presque Vu]

... because I get shocked at some things and then have to remind myself over and over again that this world is sadly not based on justice, that there are people in this world who would kill again and again other people who don't share their religion, nationality etc., who deny the truth and support lies. And people who hurt animals:sad: *gulp*

I know I am depressed, but do nothing about it. :sad::bat:

I know I am depressed, but do nothing about it. :sad::bat:
That's the weird thing about depression, it sort of lends itself to not doing anything about it. It feeds on its own sense of hopelessness.
SO DO SOMETHING DAMMIT!
I'm a fool today for lecturing.
(((((:bat: poisonbat :bat:)))))

[Joann]

I threw away $500.00. Had it in an envelope in my desk. Cleaned out desk of old papers.
Couple days later went for envelope,not there. Sure made some garbage mans day.

[Srbo]

Hmmmm...no fool here today.

Not yet, anyway.

:smile2:

[Patricia A]

This foolishness actually happened last week, last Monday to be precise. I was getting ready for work as per usual, getting dressed watching the news drinking coffee etc when I remembered to take my high blood pressure pills.
So I was watching some AIG story and utterly focused on the tube and popped my pills and gulped my coffee and when I went to close the little Monday slot on my pill box I noticed that my blood pressure meds were still in the box.... but my sleeping pills were missing...
I still went to work and told the manager what I'd done and to please excuse any bizarre behaviors I might display throughout the day. He actually laughed his ass off and gave me a light schedule that day. I'd have gone home but Monday's are crazy busy and we need all hands on deck so I toughed it out and was really goofy all day but I made it. :eek2:

[rjt65]

good thing u did not have anything stronger in that pill box Pat! ;-)

that is funny ----

[LadyPain]

I felt like a fool last night at work. One guy that comes in has a twin. They look identical except for about fifteen pounds weight difference. I called him by his brother's name and I SHOULD KNOW BETTER!

Ooooops.

[MeLeesa Swann]

My husband told me that humans were the only race in the world that goes camping. I'm halfway in my own universe, and am overcome with shock. "Really?" I ask. I didn't get it until he was on the floor, rolling around and laughing his tootcus of. Yeah. total blond moment.
Posting this makes me even stupider. some things should be kept top secret.

[Autumnlyn]

Okay, first of all my nickname is Autumn because I fall...

Last night I was trying to get the goats in their pen. Stupid goats wouldn't budge. Here I am trying to lure them in, offering cookies and calling their names as its getting darker and darker. Finally, I get so angry I get the lunging whip (It's long with a squiggle of rope off it; you use it with horses, not to actually whip them but direct them and make snapping noise) and start chasing trying to herd them in. Remember, its getting dark. I finally get one cornered near the gate; it makes a break for it; I counter trying to cut it off and BLAM! Do a belly flop onto the ground with a huge rock breaking my fall. Needless to say I got the wind out of me, the goat got away, and I am one bruised puppy. Did I mention I had our family friends over for dinner and had about 8 people run out and try to scrape me off the ground? emmmbbbaaarraassssiiiinnnnnggg

[JRLauer]

Good grief were to I start? I’ve been a fool many time in my life and I have a feeling that’s not going to end anytime soon. Take last night for example. I didn’t articulate my thoughts very well and drove away a wonderful woman who told me not to contact her anymore. I can’t begin to say how much I regret being this foolish.

[King Jacob]

I am a fool today because I'm ignoring a heaping plate of spaghetti in order to explain what a fool I am today.

[katydid28698]

A couple of months ago, a group of coworkers and I were going to lunch. We were about to get out of the car, when the cell phone rang. I answered the phone, started fighting with my soon to be ex-husband, and then got out of the car. I hung up on him, and then we walked over to the restaurant to eat lunch. After we finished, we were walking back to the car, when I discovered I couldn't find my keys. We got to the car and it was unlocked and still running!! I was so wrapped up in fighting with the ex that I forgot to shut it off!! And, none of the other people who were with me noticed that I left it running either!

[Todash]

I am a fool today because my alarm goes off in five hours and WHY AM I STILL UP???

[Walter Wego]

The thing that is insidious about depression is how you can get comfortable with it.The way I explained it to my wife is a line from Simon and Garfunkel,"hello darkness my old friend,".What makes it worse is my life is explainable with such banalities.

Okay, Walter. I hope you are okay. I know what it is like to "get comfortable" with depression. Now I rail against it. I'm not trying to tell you how to be. Just saying...

[SKfan2006]

i'm a fool because i tried to answer one of those factual riddles. then i was given another riddle where you know the answer but you can't come up with the right answer. then i was a fool because i have to work for a job i loathe and because of that i can't get to reading and writing since i get so tired from lifting stuff all day long.
but when i do minor foolish stuff i shrug it off like it never happened like a girl who doesn't want their date to know they're gassy for the date.

[Walter Wego]

Actually I meant this as a personal message to someone else on this thread,but this makes me feel foolish so it's appropriate.

I can understand that, I hate the dating game, it's so hard! I think i've finally found the "one". Although I've been communicating with another person and it got to the point where he wanted to meet me and I realized I had to make a decision. I hope I did'nt make a foolish choice!

[SKfan2006]

here's a real foolish statement. a fool tries to put their own foolish mistakes onto other fools because the fool is too foolish to admit their foolishly foolhardy mistake.

[mudpuppy]

I am a fool today because I agreed to be interviewed by our local news station. Interviewed for what? For being old and knocked-up! They are doing a segment on women over 40 having their first babies. What on earth will I tell them? The truth is I lost track of time! :oops:

"Always tell the truth. This will gratify some people and astonish the rest." —Mark Twain

I think your truth is the truth of many women in your situation (who haven't been trying all along). We get caught up in life, especially if our life plan did not center around having children. Not that there is anything wrong with that, either—I agree with Jackie Kennedy when she said "If you bungle bringing up your children, it really doesn't matter what else you do well"—but if you have been dreaming of having your own children since you were one yourself, you may well have them earlier than later. If it was important to you, but not urgent, well ... it gets put off, for various reasons.

You have a lot to say. Just say it. :)

[LadyPain]

I am a fool today for believing in the potential goodness of people.

[aliphil]

the most foolish thing i have done today was dancing to the imagination movers with my hubby and my 18 month old boy. these are the moments you think why did i not put on the video camera

[sknut70]

the most foolish thing I did today was tell my boss I would make Sure I completed a project before I left today. I should never ever do that if I am dependent upon other people to give me their piece. ... I'll be here late :glare:

[Kim L.]

...because yesterday while in line at a restaurant with some coworkers, I was complaining about having work, while (unknown to me) my boss' boss was standing behind me. My friends tried to get me to shut up but I kept yammering until I finally turned around. Then I fell all over myself apologizing and she hadn't even heard my original tirade.
Yeesh.

[BlackThorn]

I shaved, but I didn't clean myself up enough to go ask out that beautiful angel who has an absolute chemistry with me, obvious as hell from how we're under each others spell whenever we're near each other.

I find beauty in nearly everything, more in that which reflects it deeper than your average camper... but there's a look that turns me on... and I didn't do squat about it today. Not even a pushup. :(

'Kay syrah syrah' I suppose.

Thank Gods I can clean up, right? ;)

[BlackThorn]

(Oh, and I broke my absolute "no more than two beers before 11:30am" rule today too.

It's a personal rule, because I understand it will make me feel like ass later unless I get some sleep and really waste my day. But I'm outta grass, so I'm playing the government's lust for cash and pharmaceutical's kingpins games by drinking legally instead, right?)

(what to eat, what to say, what to think, what to feel, what to eat, what to think...)

I'm a fool several times a day. Every day. The important thing is that I can admit it.
