i have done something stupid DOH

[devonshiredumpling]

took a ready meal to work today for lunch and took the plastic seal off only to realise i had not read the instructions (which were on the bottom of the tray) .i tipped the tray over a little only to have the whole lot go over the floor .which leads me to ask what dumb things have you done today that will give us all the giggles

[aldiwhore]

I bought some soup from the canteen, it was in a polystyrene cup with lid, lid had little hole in top.

Standing in lift, belly growling I was pressing the lid to 'waft' the lovely smell directly to my nose... I pressed to hard and squirted myself in the face with scalding soup.

Turned a pot of bronzing powder over in boots so that i coud try the shade on the back of my hand!!

[babanouche]

I once blended soup without putting the bottom of the blender on. Lentil splatterfest.

2 nights ago left my car door open 1am knock on the door from police officers, me in a shit nightie.

[Binkyridesagain]

I baked a cake for 1 hr in an oven I hadn't switched on. I'd preheated the wrong one.

[Acinonyx]

Oh I once did the blending hot soup with no blender lid thing - I was already having a crap day too. It really gets absolutely everywhere. And it scalds.

At work, diarreah, rush to toilet, wearing long cardi, you can guess the rest.

DH were in Tescos and I opened a box of twelve eggs to check none were broken. One egg jumped out and went splat on the floor. DH stayed with the egg to make sure no one slipped on it while I went to get a member of staff to clean it up.

I found the staff a couple of aisles away and I apologised saying mu DH has dropped an egg on the floor. She and I returned to DH and she just tutted at him and shook her head.He never realised he had the blame.

OK. This was a couple of years ago but still very fresh in my mind

DH and DCs were out at work and school. I had a rare day off to myself. Did a bit of housework then had a lovely long soak in a very hot bath.

Lying on the bed cooling off afterwards I decided to have a sneaky fiddle then reached into bedside table for vibe to do a proper job so to speak.

Afterwards I gave it a wash and popped it on top of the (slightly warm) radiator to dry before I put it away. Silly, silly me!

I walked past it while getting dressed and accidentally knocked it down between the radiator and the wall. Well I couldn't leave it there to melt/ be discovered by children/be missed by DH, could I?

I tried to hook it out with DC's little child's sweeping brush to no avail. Started trying to push it downwards in the hope of it dropping out underneath the radiator. All I succeeded in doing was switching the damned thing on

The vibrations echoed round the whole bloody central heating system and sounded like a pneumatic drill throughout the whole house!!!

I am then standing half dressed in the bedroom window looking at this thing buzzing away wondering

a. if the battery will go flat before DH and DCs get home
b. if I can take the radiator off the wall by myself
c. is there anyone I could trust enough to call for help

when I look up to see my parents' car pulling up outside the house

In a total panic I grab the stick again,throw caution to the wind and start jabbing it with all my might in a desperate attempt to make something, anything happen.

Thankfully heaven smiled on me and I knocked it loose and it fell out the bottom just as the doorbell rang. I turned it off,dragged on the rest of my clothes and ran downstairs to open the door. My DM took one look at me and asked what I had been doing.

Should I have told her?

I've never shared this with anyone before today.

[WomanCalledAlice]

Tried to swipe into work using my bank card, stood cursing at the machine for a few minutes wondering why it kept saying error.

Most days I try to open my front door using the remote for the car keys. I stand pressing the little button and pointing it at the front door.

[DrinkFeckArseGirls]

Neenah
Alice yep, I know the feeling.

[freddiefrog]

I boiled up a chicken carcass to make stock tonight - was going to make soup for the kids packed lunches for tomorrow.

Lovingly simmered it for a while with some veg and herbs, then put the colander in the sink, and emptied the whole bloody saucepan into it before I realised I'd forgotten to put anything under the colander.

[GregBishopsBottomBitch]

My friends really embarrassing moment that still makes me snigger:

She in her bedroom getting changed, had just knickers on the bottom, bent down over the bed, bum facing window, window cleaner comes up, gets full view.

[McNewPants2013]

This morning I tried for 10 minutes to open the front door with car key fob, I even changed the battery

[GregBishopsBottomBitch]

Pants that really was a blonde moment.

[WomanCalledAlice]

Glad I'm not the only one McNewPants.

Usually when I'm walking up the path with 5 shopping bags in each hand I'm frantically pressing the remote waiting for the door to magically open ha!

[babanouche]

This thread's making me laugh. We've all done this one, I bet: I needed to make a call but couldn't find the phone. I was cursing and swearing my dp inside out for never putting the phone back as I hunted high and low, finally using my mobile to call it and then found it right beside my laptop where I'd put it after calling school 3 minutes previously to let them know my LO wouldn't be in today. Doh!

[MaggieMaggieMaggieMcGill]

But why don't we have remote controlled locks on doors? This is the 21st century for Petes sake!

[MaggieMaggieMaggieMcGill]

House doors that is!

[Cutiecat]

Freddiefrog - I have done that. So upsetting. The smells is so nice in the kitchen and then nothing.

Babanouche - I spend ages looking for the phone and realise I am holding one to my ear. So stupid.

[OneHandFlapping]

A couple of weeks ago in the snow, my car door froze shut. After much work with hair dryers and hot water, the snow cleared from the window, and I realised it was still locked.

[Poppet48]

I am pregnant with DC2 and everything I have picked up today I have dropped, It looked like someone had thrown the contents of the fridge all over the floor when I was making DS his dinner.

Not as Funny annoying as some other posts though!

[Calabria]

I tried smelling some HP sauce with added Guinness a while ago. Gently squeezed the bottle and shot vinegary sauce up my nose and down my jumper. Fortunately I was at home. Unfortunately I've never been allowed to forget it by my family and the friend who was eating with us that night,

[LadyPessaryPam]

Neenah that is vvv funny

[Binkyridesagain]

I'm a smoker, I have a new lighter which is similar to a zippo, you have to close the lid to put it out. I had a fag outside whilst DH was shopping in homebase, finished it before DH had come back out so went in. Standing at the paint section when I noticed the smell of burning and commented on the smell, thought nothing more of it until my bum started to feel warm and my, turned to find out why and my ass was smoking, the contents of my handbag where smouldering, I'd forgotten to put the lighter out.

I was only embarrassed though when DH started to tell everyone.
