So while I was in Florence, I needed to do some laundry. Fortunately for me, there was a laundromat right around the corner, not even 1 minute away. So I dragged all my clothes down there in a large plastic bag, put my 3 euro into the machine to get the token to put in the wash, loaded the washer, put the token in, turned it on, and felt extremely proud of myself.
Until I realized I loaded the dryer instead of the washer. Interesting fact about Italy–washers and dryers look exactly the same there as they do in California. So I had to stop the machine, run across the street to the little store, and use my last 5 euro bill to buy a 2 euro diet coke so I could have the change for the token machine.
Honestly, at that moment, I felt like I was too stupid to live, as I sipped my 2 euro Diet Coke…which made it worse because I realized I spent nearly $3 on a fucking can of soda.
I won’t even mention all the times I got lost within SIGHT of the place I was trying to find.
I was late for work this morning. I spent a frantic ten minutes trying to find my cell phone.
Eventually my roommmate kindly pointed out that it was in my hand and I had, in fact, just sent a text message on it. (In my defense, I’m trying to cut back on the caffiene. Probably a bad idea.)
I had been reading a book and put it down somewhere. I couldn’t find the book in the usual current book spot on top of my dresser. I searched all over my room for the book. I decided to lie down for a minute and look for the book again later.
I lay down and turned to my left. The book was on the plastic container right by the bed, where I’d put it so it would be somewhere convenient. :smack:
haha i have a similar one though a little bit stupiderer
i never used to have a car park under the building i work in, which i do now fortunately, so i used to park at one of 2 public pay parking lots. where i parked would just depend on which one was full. in the morning i parked in parking lot A, which is further away, and during the day i had to run an errand so on returning parked in parking lot B which wasn’t full anymore. that afternoon i walked towards parking lot B, as it was my more common parking lot only to remember i’d parked in parking lot A, so i turned around and walked to parking lot A to discover my car was not there realised i had parked in parking lot B all along felt like a fool
Job related error earlier this week. Too technical to get into here, but it was one of those basic “I should have known better” moments caused by trying to rush things a little too much.
Fortunately my blunder didn’t do any harm, but I was throughly disgusted with myself when I realized what I had done.
Oh hell, none of you people are stupid at all. I win this hands down.
A few weeks ago I had a number of drinks on an empty stomach. I ended up passing out on my feet, falling, and banging my nose. I’ve never done this before, and don’t intend to do it again, but I’ll have a nice scar to remind me about it for the rest of my life.
Shortly after that, I decided to have my garage apartment painted by some kids I know. I went out and bought the paint, they painted it, and it looked great until I scratched it with a fingernail and it came right off. Seems I’d had them put latex over oil without any prep. We spent the next week and a half scraping. Admittedly my painters were ignorant, but I was stupid.
though a little bit stupiderer
