What dumb things do you do again and again?

I can’t ever find my car keys, either. In fact, I misplace everything. Even if I put it in a special place so that I’ll “remember”… I never do and end up walking around aimlessly for 15 minutes.

I accidently hurt myself to the point of blood or a bruise at least once a day. So clumsy. :rolleyes:

I am constantly getting up each morning and going back to that hell hole that is called work…I hate work… But I have this keyring full of keys and when I go to open this door to my office that I open everyday It never fails I go through every damn key on the keyring till low and behold the last one is it.

I’m a terrible procrastinator. This is made worse by the fact that I’ll get totally engrossed in some meaningless activity, and I HAVE TO DO IT RIGHT< DAMMIT! For instance, I tell myself I’ll go to bed as soon as I get a perfect game of Minesweeper (or worse, Hexsweeper). A perfect game means that not only do I win, but I get a respectable time, too. Then I want to do another one, and another one…it’s not like these are even GOOD games to waste that much time on.

“I don’t need to write that down. I can remember it!”

This is why I so often find myself making two trips to the supermarket instead of one.

I readily give money or subway farecards to beggars who approach me in big cities (or suburbs thereof). The money probably goes to feed their drug/alcohol addiction, but I can never get the words of Matthew 25: 41–45 out of my head:

Then He will say to those on the left, ‘Depart from Me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels: For I was hungry and you gave Me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave Me nothing to drink, I was a stranger and you did not take Me in, I needed clothes and you did not clothe Me, I was sick and in prison and you did not look after Me.’
They also will answer, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry or thirsty or a stranger or needing clothes or sick or in prison and did not help You?’
He will reply, ‘I tell you the truth, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for Me.’

So feed the hungry or clothe the naked. Yeah, they’re probably addicts, and yeah, your money will probably go toward a bottle of liquor, so don’t give them money. Offer food, if possible.

In today’s case, having been approached right after leaving the grocery store, offering food would have been a possibility, had I been asked for food. Unfortunately the beggar didn’t ask for money to buy food, but rather to ride the public transportation to his home in the inner city. I offered him a subway farecard with $2.20 remaining, but he pressed further, insisting that he needed to ride the bus also, despite my assurances that a subway station was a mere fifteen-minute walk away. I ended up giving him one dollar, in addition to the subway farecard.

I leave my laundry detergent and bleach in my car after I’ve gone to the laundromat. This is not always such a big deal - in the summer, it’s fine. But in the winter, it leaves me with frozen detergent. Even if I’d remember it the night before I’m planning on doing my wash, I could go out, bring it inside, and let it defrost, but I never do.

I have a friend who carries apples in her bag for this very reason(not the Bible reason, the drug reason). Usually just one or two. She says, “Sorry, I don’t have any money, but I do have an apple. Here you go.” If they don’t want it, she figures she did the right thing to not give them money. Sometimes if they take the apple, she’ll give them a dollar or two also, since she figures they’re actually hungry.

The key thing is easy. Keys should only ever be in the lock or in your pocket (purse, whatever). Don’t put them down on the table and then put the mail on top of that, or toss them on the couch, or any of that. Just remember lock to hand to pocket.

It sounds like you are an outstanding procrastinator.

I got a new car (Mini Cooper!!) last May that has the button on the key to unlock it. So I am continually going to my 10-year-old Toyota and pushing the button and can’t figure out why the door is still locked.

CrazyMonkey, go to bed. GO TO BED!!!

Well, just one more chapter…

And probably as a direct result, it is depressing how many times I’ve come home from work to find a box of cereal in the refridgerator, and the jug of milk in the cupboard.
