This morning I realized that I threw out the box my new Sony Clie came in…with the Memory Stick, headphones and other assorted items still inside. Despite checking under my desk 16 times, it’s still not there.
Earlier this week, I sat on the shock pad protecting our living room couch for the past month. Of course, I got zapped a whole bunch of times before I realized what was happening. As my ass turned into a giant circuit breaker and my weiner glowed like a light bulb, I have a good understanding of why the cats don’t pee on the couch any more. In fact, I’m certain one of them was laughing at me.
This afternoon I, without thinking, scratched an itch inside my ear with the end of a chopstick. The chopstick I used at lunch. The lunch which I spiced up with wasabe (spicy, very hot Japanese horseradish paste). I will never make that mistake ever again, ever.
I asked a well dressed maniquen for directions yesterday.
I sat for at least three minutes behind the wheel of my car trying to figure out why something seemed just a little bit off. Oh, that’s right! I don’t live in Melbourne anymore, so now the steering wheel is on the left!
Spent 5 minutes looking for the right wiper blades at the auto parts store. Finally asked for some help. Merchant found them for me. I said, “Thanks!” took the wiper blades and walked out the door without paying.
Returned after I got to my car, surprised I wasn’t tackled by the merchant.
Tried to speed up the freezer defrosting by chipping away at the ice with a hammer and screwdriver (a phillips head - doubly dumb). Punctured the coil and received a faceful of freon. Tried to plug the spray with my index finger. Finger color matched the ice for 15 min.
I was in Spain, wanting to cash traveler’s checks at a department store customer service window. There’s a poster in four languages explaining how to do this. Each language is marked by the flag of the country associated with the language. I got really, really mad because there was no American flag, and sputtered to my friends about how could they possibly not have English on this poster. Then I realized there was English and it was marked with the UK flag. Sheesh.
Dumb thing I did today: I intended to set the vcr to start taping 3 minutes before the show I wanted to see, and end three minutes after, as no two clocks in my house are on the same time and I wanted to tape it all. Appearently I set the vcr to tape for six minutes. I should have double checked the start time…
Once a week, making coffee, I hit the Auto button instead of Start. When it doesn’t start I realize my mistake and hit start. But I always am too tired to remember to turn off Auto. So the machine will turn on automatically at 12:00 heating an empty pot.
Feel a tickle on my leg. Thinking that it is a mosquito, I slam my knees together in hopes of squashing it, without even looking at it. Turned out to be a bee [homer]DOH![/homer]
Waited until the day that school started to buy my books. They were out of half of them, and I had to wait in line for an hour and a half to pay for the other half. :rolleyes:
