I just put hydrogen peroxide all over my eczema on my leg (it is currently covering like.. my entire right shin). in my brilliant mind seconds before.. i thought this was a great plan. I've been scratching a lot and i'm really worried i'm going to get some sort of grossness.. so i was like yeh.. peroxide.. that'll work..

holy.mother.of.pain.what.are.you.doing.


ugh.

please share your dumbo moments with me so i feel less stupid... :[
 
Told DH to close the 'D*MN Door* and then turned around and slammed right into it and cut my foot tripping over the threshold. Hmmmm.....finally did what I asked and then I forgot about it!

And what was even worse was that I had to ***CHOKE*** Apologize to DH!
 
Well, at least you're a CUTE idiot. A cute, inflamed, HAPPY idiot. : ) And I love you., but my husband isn't here to remind me of the stupid things I've done, so I can't remember any of them.
 
OK, in my defense, this was in the throes of major sleep deprivation after my oldest daughter was born. The child never slept and didn't sleep through the night until she was 2, so I was very tired. I backed out of the garage...without putting up the garage door first. Oops.
 
I tend to block out the stupid things I do, but Laura reminded me that I did something similar. I had come home from picking DD up from preschool and pulled into the garage at an angle (the garage is at right angle to the driveway). I went to back out so that I could straighten out. Instead of putting it in reverse, I put my foot on the gas. Oooops. :whistle I didn't actually put the SUV through the wall, but I hit some furniture and stuff that we had stored along the wall, and that stuff hit the wall and made a fabulous hole.

DD's reaction? "That was fun, Mommy! Do it again!" :giggle
 
Umm probably when I broke my foot from, uh, basically standing still and then falling down because I do random gravity checks. Totally sober, for the record ;)
 
As soon as I read the first sentence of your post my thought was "good God, WHY would she do that?!". Ouch :-/

One night when I'd just gotten my license I hit 2 cars in one night. Two parked cars. There were no damage to the cars so I drove away (I know, but I was 16!). I didn't think there was any damage to my car. Until the next morning my dad asked me what happened to my headlight...

The night I met my husband I was walking out of a garage and the door was half open. I'm short, thought I could clear it. Wrong. Smacked my forehead so hard. Still got his number though!

Have you ever used one of those microwave sanitizing bags? For bottle nipples, baby toys, pacifiers, etc.? Well I put a new teething ring into one and popped it in the microwave. No water. Smoke everywhere, smell of burning/melting plastic, fire. Oh, and my husband's grandparents were visiting - way to seem competent!
 
La, there isn't enough room in here for me to post all of the dumb things I have done. LOL! I will post one for you. I was really, really tired like Laura from sleep deprivation. I left to take my little one to therapy and the car was doing some weird things and just didn't seem to want to go. Might have helped if I had taken the emergency brake off. Good lawd!

When I was younger I went to a gas station that I always went to not knowing they had changed the gas pumps around. I didn't read the tank or anything so, I filled up the car and left. Suddenly, my car was jumping and stopping and I had no clue what was going on. Thought the thing was gonna fall apart. I took it to the gas station where one of my guy friends worked and they took it under the bay and came out laugh their behinds off because I had put diesel in my car. Nice!! I never did live that one down.

Cannot.stop.laughing!!!!
 
OUCH! OUCH! OUCH! It sounds like my kind of reasoning though. I hope it's better soon!

Here's mine..

Hubby: I'm taking this vent cover outside to paint it, there is a giant hole in the floor, do not fall in, you'll remember when you come out right?
ME (in the bathroom): yes, I'll remember!
Hubby: I'm going now, don't fall in the GIANT hole..
ME: I got it, I won't fall in..
Hubby: Going... don't forget..
Me: I KNOW! I'm NOT going to step in the hole!

Me: walking out of the bathroom.. STEP, STEP...... B-A-M!!

I fell right in the hole, leg all the way in, busted out the bottom of the vent into the basement, scrapes all up and down my leg. The worst part was I had to go outside and tell hubby I fell in the hole. To which he responded through uncontrollable laughter, I told you THREE times! He was right, and ONE minute later, I kid you not, I had forgotten and was down for the count, no warning, nothing. In the hole. I'll never live it down.

bwhahaha! Glad I could make you laugh, Shannon!

I have another one. I was young and didn't check things on the car at all. I was 16 what did I care, kwim? Anyway, I was out with my girlfriend and we were driving along when all of the bells started going off in my car and there was smoke pouring out from under the hood. I pulled in the turn lane and we jumped out and ran across the street to the service station. The guys of course looked at us like we had three heads. He told me to drive it over there. I was freaking because it was smoking so bad. I drove it over there and he looked and told me that apparently my fan had stopped working causing the car to overheat. You know those BIG black hoses...well, mine had been sucked flat. My Dad was not too happy with me and told me he had never seen a black hose that flat...LOL! We laugh about this one a lot now and I still get teased. I do check my stuff frequently now...lesson learned.
 
Don't feel bad Laura-- after loading my groceries into the trunk of my car (boot for you Brit types), I got into the car and proceeded to back into the cart. Three times. Then I realized I'd forgotten to put the damned thing away.

Then there are the multiple times I think I've forgotten my keys, blanked out on where I'd put them, only to realize that they're hooked onto one of my fingers in my hand! D'oh!
 
Okay.....got a new one just yesterday!

Had a major family meltdown moment last Saturday night. (Let's just say that my stress level exceeded the recommended levels for actually living and breathing but I digress).....I had absolutely NO SLEEP SATURDAY OR SUNDAY. I was extremely exhausted and only running on what little energy I had. I had to work Monday due to a huge deadline. Well, got everything done and on time but completely zonked out in my office around 12:35p and woke up at 2:25p. I leave at 3:00p for the day so just went about my business for the next 30 minutes and then cried all the way home. I told DH that I was going to bed super early Monday night because I WILL NEVER FALL ASLEEP AT WORK AGAIN!

Went to work Tuesday and asked our secretary to please check in on me in the afternoon to make sure I don't pass out again. I'm tellin' ya I have never, ever fallen asleep at work.....for 2 freakin' hours.

Well, yesterday.....my supervisor asked me to come into his office to discuss the project I completed on Monday. He said it was EXCEPTIONAL and that I did a fantastic job. He also wanted to show me this video on his phone that he found very comical. Wanna guess what the video was about?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

Yes! The video was of me sleeping in my chair in my office. My super was laughing and couldn't believe it! He was genuinely concerned and asked if everything was alright. I explained the situation to him and he understood. He deleted the video off of his phone since the circumstances were pretty severe and definitely not funny. He is a very understanding person and I'm very thankful for that and his friendship.

But looking back on this past week.....we are both laughing about my snoring. He even walked by my office and snorted! LOL
