Dumb things you’ve done that you didn’t realize were dumb until it was too late.

1. While making vanilla ice cream, I added melted butter to make it richer.
2. Enlisted.
3. Asked Lisa to be my girlfriend and had no idea what that entailed.
4. Bet too little on the Daily Double

Boy that batter was hard to blend! This happened at a scout camp many moons ago where I worked in the kitchen. Dutifully told the cook(an old Navy cook) what should I do to correct it? He kicked the garbage can at me. I got the point.

7. Popped the lid off the cat food, put the lid in the bowl and the food in the trash  
to be fair, this was at 5:00 in the morning, and I hadn’t even started the coffee yet. I didn’t notice it until the cat meowed loudly and knocked the food dish around

10. Drove into a gated parking lot without realizing how close I was to a big metal guardrail. $2500 worth of damage to my car.

I added in Sampiro’s entry from the previous page, which I put as #9. It should be #5 but it’s too hard to renumber everything when typing on the phone.
