Hi
im always doing silly stupid things, and was wondering if anyone else does it to!!

(examples)
going out with labels attached to shoes/clothes

wearing yellow and red so everyone shouts 'banana man' at me

talking really loudly about a horrible child bullying everyone on the play thing in the pub garden when parents were sitting right next to me

could go on and on, but if anyone else has anything they would like to add???

I shouted at a kid in school 'Get off your bike this is not a pavement!!!!!!!!' when it was, in fact, a pavement!

once said to this woman after christmas service - that wasn't too bad at least the vicar didn't go drowning on and on like usual and it was his wife.

Every time I open my mouth, really. I'm one of life's natural prats.

At my first ever job I was having a really good whinge about my boss to someone in the post room, mainly about what a spiteful b*h she was, when the person I was talking too went very quiet and pale - yep, you guessed it, she was standing right behind me

Have also been on the other end of the stick - we live in a spanish speaking country and because I´ve got blonde hair and speak to my son & husband in English the locals assume you don´t speak Spanish. One day while standing in a queue at a supermarket checkout (I´d told my son off) some lady looked, tutted and then proceeded to tell her mate what a dreadful mother I was as her children were shouting & swearing. I duly turned round and said in a loud voice (in Spanish) "whose are those dreadful children, they could do with a good smack" I´ve never seen a woman go red so quickly

i took back some soup i'd ordered the other day because it had a long blond hair in it.

my dp is brown headed

my dd has SHORT blond hair

i have brown hair, well i did, i got highlights the day before and completely forgot

the worst thing was that the waiters clearly thought it was mine, and it made me really angry, because at the time, i thought it wasnt

my dp let me go along with it all because he thought it was 'funny' as he told me earlier

well that, and the fact that he didnt have to pay the £8 for the soup

Surferbaby is dd, CharlotteLouise, it's just that I don't use her real name on here. But having said that, she did catch her first wave before she was off armbands.

There is not a day goes by, in fact not an hour in that day where I don't do something stupid.
