To ask what the stupidest thing you've ever done is?

Drove out the garage one morning without checking the remote control had worked and the door was actually open...no damage to the car, slight dent to one of the metal bars on the door. DH reacted quite well, just looked at me like this for the rest of the day.

Next day I did it again .

Sniffed a flame. Total moment of madness. Wanted to see what a flame smelled like...burned my nose. Obviously. No lasting damage but was really sore.

Stapled my thumb.

Friend didn't understand how I'd done it so I tried to demonstrate - stapled my thumb again.

Drained the water off a pan of rice into a serving dish, then chucked the rice away. I was bloody starving too!

Warwick I think I'm in love with you. Actually crying here. Best thing I've read all year..

As a student I tried to freshen up my hair after a (pre-smoking ban) midweek night out by spraying it with about half a bottle of febreze before going to bed. I think the idea was to be all fresh for lectures the next day, but in the morning it was all crusty and it took ages to wash it all out!

My list is long I am a walking disaster area
Left my bags of shopping on the bus when I got off and had to run after the bus.
Managed to miss my mouth when I was drinking a mug of coffee no I've no idea how I managed to do it either and poured a good half of the mug down my front.
Managed to set fire to my oven gloves by leaving them next to the cooker and I hadn't switched the gas ring off properly. Luckily I was still in the kitchen.
Didn't check my pockets properly and put trousers in the washing machine with concert tickets still in the pocket.
Also I did the thing where my DH had left his phone at home and I texted him on the said phone to tell him.
Left my house keys sticking out of my front door lock and went off to work.
Many, many more things I'm sorry to say
Never left my kids in their pram in a shop though ( unlike my mum who left me in the post office and was half way home before she realised).

Finished printing a lot of paper work off at work, turned around and threw the whole lot in the bin. Then just stood there staring at the bin for about 30 seconds trying to figure out what wasn't adding up.

Accidentally threw a full cup of hot chocolate at a security guard at work. For some reason I thought he was a bin.

Had to cut some boxes at my old job, in my very hung over state I put them on my lap and jabbed the Stanley knife straight through the box and into my leg. My boss came in to the staff room to find me crying into my hands with the blood and cardboard all over the floor. In many ways I was more embarrassed by my childlike bawling than I was about the stabbing.

wifebegins as in the entire finger?

Augustrose that is awful about your rings!

Sewing up the hem that had fallen down on a long skirt while still wearing skirt. Sewed myself to the carpet.

Putting on false nails for the first time. Glued hand to carpet.

(In my teens for both of these, back in the day when practically everything was done sitting on one's bedroom floor)

Ah that made me laugh oldspeckledtam !

Came home from holiday to find my television wouldn't switch on. Rang customer service, very annoyed as I had just replaced one TV that had stopped working (same brand). Told the person how unimpressed I was, how I would never use them again, etc. They went through checks, as I huffed and puffed 'I've done all that!'. Except that I had forgotten the on/off button was underneath the TV, not on the side like the old one. I think the customer service person (who was still extremely nice and not pissing themselves laughing, somehow), could feel my face burning through the phone. I don't think I've made a complaint about anything since....

Oh and I held up a whole queue of people waiting for the bus, frantically searching for my bus pass in my ginormous handbag, explaining to the grumpy bus driver that it was definitely in there - and I was holding it in my hand all the time.

In my student days... Walked into my room with a latte and my phone... Took a 'sip' from my phone and threw my coffee on the bed....

slipped climbing a fence and severed a finger. not my finest hour.

Attempted to cure my breastfeeding baby of hiccups by shouting 'Boo," loudly....

Put a £1,000+ plus plan ticket to Australia in the recycling (in the days before e-tickets, so I REALLY did need that small piece of paper.

Had to ring up the travel agent and say I'd had my bag stolen to get a replacement. God I love e-tickets on my phone...

emma this morning I saw my DP had left his phone at home and gone to work.

so I texted his mobile to tell him.

This one's my Mum's - she thought the iron smelt funny, so sniffed it. While it was on. She burnt the end of her nose really badly (I was secretly )

Phoned DH to ask him if he'd seen my mobile, on my mobile.

Stupidest thing I ever did?

My ex.

Not the stupidest thing, as I've made some major cockups in my life which I try to forget about

but

I'm forever searching for my glasses, tearing the house apart trying to find them, to then realise I'm already wearing them (and that's why I can see).

I know this is lighthearted but booking this hotel without reading the reviews first! I wouldn't let a dog sleep here and yet here I am with my three kids fortunately I only booked two nights but still YUCK 😝
