What stupid thing did you do today ?

I sold an item far too cheaply on marketplace. Totally misjudged it and could have done with the extra £50
Plus I squirted hot coffee onto my chest plunging my cafetière.
Oh and dropped a gift I just bought in a puddle (clothing) (without a bag even though I asked for one but sales assistant forgot and I just huffed off without my bag )
What have you done?!

The stupidest thing I did today is feel jealous of my new neighbour who has managed to make friends locally already and was off with her family to visit people... I lived in this town for a few years and made zero friends. But I'm guessing that's not entirely in the spirit of the thread, so here's another one

I waved at a car, smiling and gesturing thinking it's hubby picking me and dc up after dc club... It wasn't. It was another parent, who probably now think I'm wired. Definitely not a new mum friend on the horizon.

Signed off a work e-mail to very senior bod with "Love you, Reckless."
Gawd. I'm cringing - I haven't corrected it and he hasn't responded.
Do you think he's missed that bit?
Blushing thinking about it. DH thinks it's hilarious and might have made his day.

Just today? I could give you one for every day of the week.

Scolded myself out loud in my office at work, then, realised that I was not alone and there were staff in the office next to me, that could hear me. Felt. Such. A Dick. 😳

I got out of a taxi the other day saying

Thank you, bye, love you...

Walked off feeling like tit but chuckling.

GP's receptionist called me just before closing to say GP would like me to make an appointment.

Had a nice chat, thanked her for calling me last thing and told her she could "Cock Off" now.

Daughter in stitches, me too and I think she was toi judging by being put on hold before she squeaked "Thank you" 🤣

I tried reading this out to my husband but after 3 attempts when I could barely breathe let alone speak for laughing, I just ended up passing him the phone.
I've had a shit day so THANK YOU for making me sob with laughter 🤣

Oh bless you! I'm so glad I amuse people 🤣
It's true. That's made me happy.

I hope you have a lovely evening and a better day tomorrow ❤️

Took three attempts to correctly type my own name.

Sharontheodopolodous · 25/01/2024 22:15

I've worked at my place of work since 2020-so 4 years (minus about two months)

Today I was busy teasing one of my colleagues (she was teasing me back-we love banter) and I span round and walked into a wall at full pelt

The same wall I walk into at least once a week-she was too busy pissing herself laughing to help me up

I then tripped over a wet floor sign and nearly took a toddler out

I don't know why they employ me

I try to get into cars that aren't mine. Ok so this isn't today but it's stupid. I was at the recycling centre and there was a long queue of cars, so I hopped out my car, which DH was driving. Was trying to be efficient. Dumped some things at one part, quickly went to hop back in, except it wasn't opening and when I looked up an entire family were in it, looking VERY displeased. I must have been clawing at the door handle for ages before I looked up.
I had to do an over the top on no wrong car gesture and ran into my car, which was behind. I remember hiding my face in shame. It was the same colour car but obviously not my car, looked nothing like my car.

Just before Christmas a woman tried to get in our car while we were sat in it in the supermarket car park. Her friend was sat waiting for her in a very similar car, exactly the same colour, two spaces away. She opened the back door and went to put her bags on the seat. I just shouted "wrong car", and the look on her face was priceless. We were all laughing and she kept apologising.

Sliced a chilli for dinner then rubbed my eyes because I'm tired.

It has definitely woken me up. It burns.

MissMoan · 25/01/2024 22:33

Today I made a lovely soup for lunch, blended using a hand blender.
I didn't love it so much when said blender splattered the soup over my kitchen wall / me!
(I blame the blender, but it was totally my idiotic technique 😂 )

I have definitely cut chilli then had relations later. The stinging!

I had a baby breaking 4 molars, clinging and howling all day bless her.

I spent ages making a brown stock. I roasted chicken carcasses etc, cut the whole fucking mirepoix exactly right (loads, I was doing a big batch to freeze n wee batches).

Then had some kind of total mind meltdown and poured it all down the sink, leaving myself with a sieve full of shite.

About 4 hours of effort. Literally down the drain.

justthatperson · 25/01/2024 22:57

Fell down the stairs 🤪👍🏼

LiamNeesonIsADerryGirl · 25/01/2024 22:59

@onwardandupwards it would make my day if someone gave me a thumbs up and told me I was doing a great job! 😂

Tusktusk · 25/01/2024 23:00

Broke my favourite mug.

I stood up to get off the train and, in front of the entire carriage, put my coat on upside down.

Forgive me but I really wish I had seen that.

My gran was a Home Economics teacher and she did this the first time she demonstrated a blender to the students in the late 70s. I have recently made a friend who was in her class and she remembers this hahahaha

I went to see said friend today as she is just back from 3 weeks in New Zealand. I have had a trapped nerve in my hip for over a week, and when I saw her come into the cafe I got up to hug her, it gave way and we both fell over. Looked like a twat but so funny.

Nextbitoflife · 25/01/2024 23:08

Just got in from my stupid today thing. Away for work, had booked a hotel as have another meeting tomorrow in the same town. 2hrs way so doable but fancied a night to myself. Got to reception to check in, had booked last night instead and was charged as a ‘no show’ Im a muppet as won’t be able to charge to expenses and have to drive back up the mway in the morning.

Mynaddmawr · 25/01/2024 23:31

I forgot I had a biro in my jeans back pocket for most of the day, stood up from the sofa and realised it had leaked ink all over my levis and the sofa cushion. Sure enough, it had also leaked everywhere else I perched my stupid arse today including the car seat, the new duvet set on the bed, the bath mat and my coat.

Ilovetea33 · 26/01/2024 00:34

I asked where the cutlery was when it had just been put in front of me. Okay, It was in a little bucket thingy, but that didn't make it unrecognizable. Also, I paid for things online with my card yesterday and promptly left it at home today, so I gave myself a great fright when I couldn't find it in the bakery and thought somebody must have stolen it.

JanglingJack · 26/01/2024 00:46

Not today, but many years ago I once started to unpack my cold shopping in to the washing machine.

Heady days of tiredness.

DeForced · 26/01/2024 01:05

Got my legs all tangled, and fell out of the car in a heap!!
I howled a mixture of pain and silliness… got a lovely red bump coming up now😭

Ouch!

Please tell me that you're okay.

(Then please tell me there was a puddle involved!)

Sorry!
