some of the silliest things you have ever done

I had once a bad accident involving a chip and a rollie pollie. I had a rollie pollie placed in one hand and grabbed a chip in the other. I accidentally stuck the rollie pollie in my mouth and chewed it. It was quite gross. I also seem to put my laundry in the trash can. I do it all the time.

lmao! @ all

speaking of silly things, I just accidentally sent myself a PM

I didn't even know you could do that, next time I'm feeling lonely I guess I know what to do

This thread is me. I swear the local hospital has a wing dedicated to me and my family.

Lets see silly...

heres a good one that includes my buddy steve.

Back in the day ala when Robin Hood came out (1991 or so) me and my friend decided we wanted to re enact the burning arrow scenes.. .basically we wanted to shoot fire balls. So we grab my NERF arrow gun. Get into the enclosed garage, spray half a can of wd 40 on an arrow light it and let my friend shoot it.

Well needless to say the way the arrows shoot is pressure and air, our fire burnt holes in the extremly flamable nerf material which meant the arrow in itself whole was going no where. Although the little pieces of burning green plastic nerf went everywhere, including one piece sticcking and burning my hand. Almost burnt down the damn house...

ok how about this, in a rush cleaning the pool spilled about a good cup or two of acid onto my hand...

or when I broke my foot jumping off a high school roof onto a piece of wood (hidden under neath a giant patch of comfy looking ivy)

or today when I reached for my coffee cup which was actually a stapler and I ended up spilling coffee all over important papers because I was so tired my vision was impaired..

lol! I can relate

On Sunday night/Monday morning I was up all night writing a paper... I did not actually get to bed until 5:30 am, at which point I got about 2 hours sleep... I am terrible for procrastinating on things

The reason I pushed hard through the night to finish my paper is that I had to do a presentation on it for my class last night and I needed to email it out so everyone would have a chance to read it first. Well.... I get up to my department yesterday, and my prof says, "that wasn't your paper you emailed me was it?" I looked at him blankly, and I said.. "erm... it should have been."
So he showed me what I had sent him and everyone else... it was actually a set of preliminary notes I made on some of the books I was using.....

Needless to say.. I felt like a complete idiot... good thing I have a decent rapport with my prof.....

Well since we are speaking of family members, I guess I can speak then.

Anyway this involves a considerable amount of booze, (doesn't almost everything stupid), and my brother at a party. I will relate the story, as I got it from a girl who was at the party with him. My brother used to live in a dorm where about all they did was constantly drink, and reassure each other that they were not losers, how they ever managed to get into college in the first place is incomprehensible to me, My brother being rather weak in self esteem department, oh hell so am I, decided to drink with them. After several days of drinking and partying, he made a halfhearted pass at girl, say you want to have sex, she laughed at him, he went to the bathroom and started drinking some more. Now somewhere along the way all my brother's senses must have been knocked out, beer tends to make one stupid like I said, and he mistakenly drank down some Lysol. At which point he started heaving up tremendous amounts of vomit. The next day of course he remembered none of it but he felt sick for several days after that, when I found out from the girl what had happened, I forced some milk down his throat, fortunately he had puked up most of the stuff.

Anyway its always fun now and again to rib him about drinking bleach or tile cleaner when we are at a party.

Hee hee, oh such memories, now was this a silly thread or a just plain stupid thread?

The following scene has occurred so many times it embarrasses me to no end:

Fall asleep in a chair, or while watching the TV...upon waking up, I habitually look for my glasses. I begin to become distressed when I can't find them anywhere...stressed out, I go to rub my eyes...and encounter my glasses on my face.

I always walk around with all sorts of stuff in my hands, then I put them some strange places... Donno why

I once took my remote control over to my friends house... Some weeks later I found it on his "tv-table"!

I'm trying to think of idiotic things I've done, but all that I can think of is the escapades of one good friend...once, he ironed his hand. Just merrily going along the shirt, forgot to move his hand out of the way

I often walk around looking for something, while carrying it in my hand - usually it's when I put it down to use both hands in searching that I cotton on, but occasionally even that doesn't work and I am surprised by it appearing somewhere I've checked already...

Oh, and posting drunk...that's pretty stupid

ROFL, my partner does that all the time, and the poor guy is practically blind without his glasses.

lol! that happens to me consistently

Once after spending an hour trying to hunt down my house keys I finally found them near the cat's litter box...

My wife has the distressing tendancy to leave her keys in the front door of the house after she comes in. I've found them for her the next morning as I head out.....

ROFLMAO!
Erm.. you know.. maybe you should consider getting something like a German Shepherd just in case a potential intruder wants to come in and steal all those valuables, like the moth-eaten nighty your mother-in-law left behind after her last visit.

No need. We have trained attack cats.

my mom started the washingmachine while our cat (may he rest in peace) was sleaping in it

not really all that fun or silly but it should count as stupid enough too be in this tread

@Monggo

I'm really sorry....
I know how I would feel if that happened to one of our cats....

Something I remembered today. When myself and 9 friends of mine went to go see The Two Towers on opening day, I bought 9 tickets a week in advance.

Yeah.

I had to fly down the the theater. I managed to get myself a ticket for the showing. It was one of the last ones. Man, did I feel stupid.

@Nightmare,
ROFL

That sounds exactly like the sort of thing I would pull....

I am a walking disaster, a living slap-stick...which is bad, because I hate slap-stick

I walk past my house or my street because I am thinking of something else. I can't remember to post a letter or take out the garbage unless I have it in my hand when I leave home...and if I have, I will most likely bring it to the lab instead.

I never leave home without forgetting something, the keys (if Silur is at home), the mobile, those important papers...when I was going to hold my first presentation of the most important study I have made so far, I decided to bring my slides on a CD. I put the CD on the middle of the floor, beside my shoes, in order not to forget it the next morning - then of cause I was in a hurry and forgot it.

I've missed so many times at my dentist so he now says I should ring him in the morning and he'll give me an appointment the same day instead...

Because my husband is mostly at home when I come home, the front door to our flat is not locked. But I try to just open the front door without a key even when he is with me...

I regularly put the things I have in my hands in stupid places. I was going to put the toilet paper in my bag and bring it to work because I had it in my hand leaving the toilet. I often put papers in the fridge at the lab, and I have to get a new cup of coffee all the time because I lost mine somewhere on the way between the kitchen and my office.

I also went out without a skirt one time because I thought I had already put it on...but that was long ago.

However, since I do these things all the time I don't even feel silly...although I probably should
