the "why did i do that?" thread.

[stoph]

ive got an art essay due tomorrow, had a good lot of it completed, Ctrl+X'ed an important and sizable paragraph to paste it somewhere else, forgot what i was doing, Ctrl+S'ed it and shut down. *sigh* twas lost indeed, this makes 'stoph angry. you dont want to see 'stoph when hes angry *begins to bust out of his clothes* anyone else done some dumb things like this that with a seconds thought could have quite easily been avoided?

:frustrated:

[darth massacre]

Yeah that happens....not as often as it could've been...which is a good thing for me.


Most memorable one happened about 3 weeks back. Only 2 hours of sleep and an 8am class. Then I went to get coffee...and proceeded to open a couple of packets of sugar....then I dumped the sugar into the rubbish chute and dropped the empty packets into my coffee.

Couldn't stop laughing.

[stoph]

BAHAHAAA oh man im glad i started this thread, just what i need, to laugh at others misfortune and dumb mistakes cause they make light of my own situation :P thanks man i genuinely burst out in laughter there :D

[Rascar Capac]

How bout sending an email to someone who isnt' supposed to get it... :frustrated:
I wont bore you with the details...Ive done it twice and its NOT gonna happen again
The rush of blood to the head when I realized what I had done...
what makes me cringe is how much worse things could have been...

but as always with these things - you get a good long laugh afterwards

[mr. Point]

rascar: Been there, done that... too many sms-messages gone to the wrong person. And it always have to happend when I'm complaining about the particular person who eventually gets the message... now that's annoying..
and yeah. yesterday was one of those days when you wake up in a hangover, make coffee and find your keys from the fridge...

I rejected Natalie Cunial (http://www.breaktv.com/tropic/ht2001usa/Natalie_Lynn_Cunial.html) when she asked me to the prom. ARGH!!!!! >:{

[rick_hershey]

Here you go, it's 4:15 in the morning, i got to a job interview at 11:00 (cause I can't manage my freelance money and keep sinking bill money in personal projects) but instead of getting a goodnights rest I'm working on artwork and editing a film demo (yes, at the same time, and yes at seperate computers. . .my chair has wheels-bitch!) So, yes sometimes we do stupid things, and know it while we do them.

[Evil_Sloth]

lol, i once was at this party getting on with this girl on the top bunk of the hosts sisters bed and i went to go get some more vodka and i told her id be back an i got chatting with some friends and forgot about her...

oh this one makes me feel soo guilty, me and my friend went down to the shops and i took my dog along with us for a walk and i tied her up out side the shop and when we came out he told me this really funny joke so i was laughing so hard that i completly forgot about her and so she waited their overnight for me to come back and she was so good that she apparently didnt even bark. and so the pound had to come and pick her up and i had to pay $120 to get her out...

What about all those resized/wrongly saved paintings in Photoshop? Did that just 2 nights ago.. good it was only a sketch. :$

thats always fun to do.. or not. the higher the rez, scale and consequent detail, the more it hurts :dead:

ok, an update, im out of the woods and on my way to finishing this bastard of an essay. special thanks go to these guys -

- ive had at least 4 tonite (recommended max daily intake: 2), and plan on finishing off the remainder of the carton before the nights out. i swear these things have a diuretic and laxative effect..

ahem.

why did i do that? :nohope:

[flatliner]

Back at collage, the computers on the network did'nt have recycle bins. If you deleted something it was gone for good.

Navigating through my files, select subject folder with most of my coursework button. Go to hit the back button to go back up a folder. Hit delete button by accident. *Gone*

Whole peices of work gone in seconds. The sad thing? I did it more than once. I was lucky enough to have some of the work backed up by the administrator, and some printed off so I was able to salvage it.

Although this unfortunate incident pales in comparison to some of which has been mentioned :D.

When I was young, I went with my mum to drop my sister off and a dance class. I waited outside whilst my mum went inside with my sister. My mum came out, forgot I had gone with them and walked off without me. Luckily I spotted here walking off so I went after her. So don't worry, people have done worse ;)

I was a nice, but pretty shy (especially around the ladies) during high school...well, I still am. So when one of the hottest blonde babes in the school asked me to the prom, it was intimadating :[

We were friends in art class and she was an aspiring fashion illustrator.

[stoph]

can we get CA.org's stupidest/unluckiest guy ever award over here? ParkerD's the recipient this year i think :P

EDIT: and oh yeah i finished the essay about an hour ago. you can all breath a sigh of relief now :)

[JERI]

Yeah I once did the most retarded thing in the world.

I ran across the road. I wasn't at a zebra crossing. I didn't check for oncoming traffic. I was making my way across in front of a bus. Therefore the driver simply couldn't respond to my idoicy in time. BOOM.

I still wonder why the heck I did something like that, I wasn't even in a hurry to cross the road.

[Crash]

Well ive got a few of these.

First one was just a few days ago. I didnt sleep that very good that night and i wanted to get up to the clothing stores early before the traffic got heavy, well i got into the store and i looked at the clock inside the store and it said 8am....note: the clock was INSIDE THE STORE. I thought to my self "hey the store doesnt open until 10:00am" and i walked out...


I was helping my neighbours to decide what trees that were safe to cut down and my dad was on the phone who does things like this as his proffesion. So i was on the phone and pointed at a tree and told my dad ( he was on the phone) "this is the tree they want to cut down". My neighbours just gave me the weirdest look...Again i was tired.


This summer i was going to try the new landing we built for our ramp, the gap was kinda small but i figured that 3 gear on low rpms would do it so i wouldnt case the landing, the thing i didnt take into my calculations was that i was going to make the gap....but i would miss the landing....totally....
Ah well 3 screws later and 2 broken bones in my right ankle and a severly sprained left ankle i said "live and learn".

[Interceptor]

This was'nt really my fault. But I kicked a girl scout on accident once.I was about 8 and playing on the jungle gym. I went to jump off, pretending I was Spider-Man as she ran out in front of me, I knocked her to the ground, cookies and all :(

Ahh man, that's unlucky :(

[Snowsfall]

I studied all of yersterday, set my alarm and went to bed nice and early.... except I forgot to actually turn on the alarm. So this morning I slept through my art history mid-term. I was sooo pissed at myself.

luckily i got to take it later with another class.

[timpaatkins]

With the risk of everyone hating me (including myself, even more):
Treated this girl like shit for a year until she dumped my stupid jealous ass:

I once worked for a writer looking for a publisher.....not only he had a terrible idea, he was also hard to work with, overdemanding and loved to send the instruction e-mail over and over again, plus some more manure, all with heavy attachments.( just to fill up a 50 MG e-mail anyways)

But he still payd me the average fees.

Or when i tould Mom that buying a beagle was a good idea..... and it was untill bite the crap out of the laptop´s cables and the Wacom´s grip pencil ( still functional though, but now with no buttons ).
But he is cute anyways

So in the end, even a stupid thing that could be avoided can have a good side :).

[Craig D]

timpaatkins
On the contrary
I finally got to date the girl of my dreams after she went out with someone similar. :)

[brokk]

darth, something like that happened to me not too long ago. I keep water in bottles in the fridge, and I was having dinner. I was gonna grab the water bottle and fill my cup, but instead I grabbed the ketchup to do it. Luckily I realized what I was doing and didnt put ketchup inside the glass, but I thought, haha how weird.

[brokk]

And another time I unwrapped a gum, threw the gum in the trash and kept the wrapping. I know people who have had similar experiences too : P

[Wertle]

I have poured orange juice on my cereal instead of in the glass on more than one occasion

[timpaatkins]

Hehe Craig, you hold on tight to her!
Unfortunatly though women are insane, and for some reason come back to the ones that are pricks. Like I was.
But Im a changed man now.

I'd once spent a couple of hours working on a PSD in Photoshop, it was turning out very nicely, so I hit CTRL-S to Save it... or at least I thought I did. Turns out I hit CTRL-W, which is the shortcut for Close.
It even popped up a message window that said something to the effect of "Hey, you haven't saved! Sure you want to close it?", and I clicked Yes without thinking. I guess I must have assumed it was a "Sure you want to overwrite?" message or something instead.
Suffice to say, I didn't feel like working any more in Photoshop that night.

And that time I was meant to meet someone for dinner since it was their birthday, I told them I would surely be there, then promptly went to sleep and woke up 3 hours after I was meant to have gone out. Go me!

[talmir]

I´ve looked all over the place for the keyes that were in my hand the whole time :P

[DavePalumbo]

My brother is great with absent minded stuff because if he's tired enough, he'll do things real slow and deliberate. Like, very slowly, and for no reason whatsoever, tilt his coffee and pour it out on the sidewalk. He has this look of steady cencentration, followed by a surprised look of "why the hell did I do that?"

One of his classics, we were on a road trip down to Texas and back, six of us crammed into my Cadillac, and I think it was after a night of little sleep. He was driving and we were stuck in a traffic jam somewhere outside New Orleans. The traffic was all screwed because our lane was closing and people kept shooting up to the merge point and gumming it up. The guy in the lane next to us signals us, then tells us to keep pace along side him so people can't get around, then he'll let us in at the merge point. My brother is looking at him and nodding and saying "right, sure, ok" and then in the blink of an eye hits the gas and cuts right infront of the guy who he was talking to. He claims he spaced out, saw that there was an opening and went for it, right in the middle of his conversation. Had to ride the rest of the traffic jam with the guy right behind us.

[Blue]

why did i ever skip class..


i regret that more then anything, because i used to do it A LOT.

[brokk]

talmir, hehe, yeah I know how thats like :teeth:
happened with the remote control a few times, good thing I don't watch tv anymore : P

[Slash]

A year and a half ago some friends and me were drinking on the beach. We had a lot of fun, and i dont remember if i had 15 or 18 cans of beer.

As soon as we got back to my friends house, we sat down, chatted, smoked and had more fun. I grabbed a bottle of vodka and a shotglass. Nothing wrong with a little nightcap, right? Well, i proceeded to have one, two, three, four... you get the idea. I went through one 70 cl bottle, and started on a new one before i started walking around the apartment, mumbling strange stuff to myself. (atleast this is what my friends tell me i did.) My friends eventually got to sleep, i had started to do something in the kitchen.

The next thing i remember was hugging the toilet, with someone banging on the door. I opened the door, stared at two police officers, and instinctively slammed the door shut.

Noone knows what i've been doing, but apparently some kids have found me lying face down on their lawn, with a blanket, a long, serrated bread knife, several rolls of toilet paper, pencils and paper, cigarettes spread all over the lawn, a plate, a fork, and a puddle of vomit. Apparently, while the kids were crying to their parents, and their parents called the cops, i had crawled back into the house and into toilet to puke in peace.

On a closer examination of the plate the next day, my friends found out that i had taken pretty much everything in the fridge, mixed it up, and put it in the microwave. (we're talking potato salad, sausage, strawberry jam and so forth..) My epic hangover lasted for two full days.


The beer i can understand, but the vodka... why the FUCK did i do that?

[Blahm]

awsome story Slash. It remided me of when i was 15 and at my brothers bachlor party. I got alchohol posioning and was hung over for a week. THat night my brothers just draged my into the kitchen so i wouldnt puke on the charpet. The next day i had to be in the wedding and i couldnt even stand up for half an hour without puking. So when i see someone go to the hospital for alchohol poisoning nowadays i feel tough.

[Quicksilver]

...Most memorable one happened about 3 weeks back. Only 2 hours of sleep and an 8am class. Then I went to get coffee...and proceeded to open a couple of packets of sugar....then I dumped the sugar into the rubbish chute and dropped the empty packets into my coffee.

LOL. That's similar to what I did once when I was working for my parents (take-away)

I had the ever-exciting job of cracking several crates of eggs into this big deep pot. Someone else was helping me one time, to speed up the process, but I ended up focusing on talking to her so much I cracked the egg into the bin and chucked the empty shells into the pot.

I had to dip half of my arm in (which was clean!) to get the shell back. XD

[timpaatkins]

Ahh, on with the drunk stories, hehe!

First party I went to with my new classmates, at one guys great flat in the middle of stockholm, I was pretty cool and soave throughout the party, drinkin white russian and doin my best to not slurr to much, eventually I got pretty pissed, (I could drink litres and litres of that stuff. And yes I know its a girls drink) So out on the street last thing I remember is suddenly running away from everybody. Then waking up, thinking "where the fuck am I" still extremly drunk, Im wearing a thin shirt and nothing else. Clothes folded neatly on the seat next to me, and a glass of fizzy water. The door opens and a doctor apears, informing me that I was brouht to them by the police last nite, so wasted that they didnt dare put me in the drunkcell, out of fear that I was on stronger stuff, and had ODd. No I wasnt, put apparently I was brought in with 3.25 promille blood alcohol content. Legal limit for driving is 0.1.
It could have killed me. Instead I had to walk to my new flat without my key and shoes, they were gone, at 5 in the morning and wait for my roommate to come home. My class later informed me that just before we left the flat I had, on a dare, downed almost 50 cl of tequila (on top of the 50 cl of vodka, 50 cl of white russian and a few beers) in about 7 sec.

Another one was after drinking meskaline I decided to take a stroll on the parisian subwaytrack, and then falling backwards several times. Waking up in a pool of my own vomit after free booze at a gallery opening. And going back to sleep.

Ah yes, I do the bindge drinking swedes proud I tell ya!

[cotron]

who says white russians are girl drinks? them drinks is tasty!

[darth massacre]

I just remembered something completely embarrassing.


Our lead storyboard artist started using Painter because it takes too long to scan our pencil drawings as dailies. So I followed suit.

First day. Instead of pressing Ctrl-Z, I actually took an eraser to the screen before I realized how dumb it was. Good thing no one noticed.

2nd day. Went back to do some corrections on paper, kept pressing Ctrl-Z on the keyboard before realizing it was on paper. Good thing again, no one noticed.

This was 12 hour work days, 6 days a week.

[Floris Didden]

Darth reminded me of this one. I sometimes do this when I'm drawing on actual paper in front of my computer, while chatting with someone. I type a few lines, hit enter to send then alt+tab back to my sketchbook. Draw a bit, alt+tab again and chat some more ... Yea, I have "thought" control+z on my sketchbook as well ...

[Slash]

lol, yeah. ctrl+z should work in real life too. I remember playing around with this fan i had connected to my motherboard. long story short, i managed to short cirquit the whole MB. i had to press ctrl+z several times before i realized it didnt work.

[Cique]

Today I managed to delete a third of my files off the computer, for some reason undo did not work and recycle bin was empty? anyway just after closing my computer I realised I pressed they were all the last things I copied and could have copied them back >.<

[Chingwa]

I once posted a picture in the finally finished section that still had visible photoshop brush squiggles in it.... Then a few charming people came on and ripped me a new ass for posting in the wrong forum.

What was I thinking?!

[S.C. Watson]

I have, on far more than one occaision, rinsed my paintbrush out in my coffee cup.

*And* conversly, I have grabbed my thinner jar as I am painting only to realize as I'm bringing it to my mouth that it was not my coffee cup :x

I now try to keep them on two different sides of my easle.

[DavePalumbo]

how many times have I almost drank the turp? Too many

[stoph]

wow.. this thing is still going! haha yeah the ctrl+z thing is a nightmare, ill be chatting to someone, put my foot in it and then try in vain to rectify the situation with the shortcut that (normally) works oh so well in Painter.

[cotron]

how many times have I almost drank the turp? Too many

a girl in my class actually did drink a swallow of it on accident when staying up all night painting... she looked busted in the morning... surprised she didn't go to the hospital.

[Interceptor]

I ate a cigarette once to prove a point.. and threw up so hard I dry heaved until my penis was sore.

[stoph]

ew :S

[timpaatkins]

What WAS the point?

[stoph]

that if you barfed bad enough it would have a profound and undesirable effect on the male sexual organ?

[Slash]

the point was probably that tobacco is worse than ipicak. I've proven that before too.

[timpaatkins]

Man, first of all I wanna know:
How did you guys stumble upon the topic?

And two:
How did it turn in to such a heated debate, that you saw no other option than to deliberatly eat something you knew was gonna make you vilolently ill and throw up worse than ipecac to prove your point?
Hehe that insane! You rule!

Ha, yea, done that. I do used to use an old coffie cup to hold water/turp though. Stopped doing that, more so because i have gone to drink out of it too.

A freind in collage snorted sherbert once. This was during a lesson, when he had to fight back the tears and the burning in his nostrials when the teacher walked back into the room.

Lol, the guys used to do that in school; sherbert, crushed polos....But only ever in Maths. o_O

[S.C. Watson]

I think my personal worst was once when I accidently snorted part of a pickle into my nasal cavity (was eating the pickle, laughed and it went up into the nasal cavity).

Oh. My. God. That was pain.

The other was when I had a type of contacts that had to cleaned overnight in a special cleansing solution. Some friends came over after I had crashed for the night, so I got up and threw my contacts in without rinsing off the cleaning solution.

I don't think my friends had *ever* seen someone attempt to claw their eyes out so fast. That was also some serious pain. I think I actually chemically burned my eyes with that number.

I don't use those type of contacts anymore....:S

[modern]

countless times ill just take stuff out of the freezer and set it on the counter, then go downstairs and watch tv. come upstairs later and get pissed because someone pulled out the chicken nuggets and didnt put them away. and they went bad.

and i dont realize i did it until after i ask if someone didnt put them away.

[stoph]

gahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.. oregano, thats just plain nasty. it didnt even happen to me, and yet my eyes hurt sympathetically!

[sour]

i am a natural klutz so i have way too many stories.
the past couple nights i have unplugged a lamp from somewhere to plug it in to somewhere else without turning on another light to see, so i had to feel around for the light socket with my fingers and guide the plug. while i am doing it i am like 'gee i hope i don't electrocute myself' but does that thought stop me? no.
mostly because i am really afraid of the dark and i would rather shock myself than wander around in the dark trying to find my ceiling light cord thing. and also partly because i apparently like to question common sense at every turn. i live on the edge!

[Advocate of Fate]

i snorted the sour sugar crap thats left over from a bag of sour patch kids. Because of that, im pretty much immune to pain.
i also drank the entire bowl of dipping sauce for breadsticks at pizza hut ... through a straw. You may not think this is too bad, but i dare you to try it. I think the flavor paled in comparison to the actual slurping of a warm, thick fluid through a straw. Needless to say, i threw up.

this was all for money, though. I guess that saves me some dignity.

[asoir]

I remember when I was around 7 I walked into my friends glass, it broke and made a hope in the bottom of my lip, i've still got a scar, it's an unsolved mystery..

I've almost put Nair foam in my hair instead of mousse. I had it in my hand and was rubbing it together and everything and I noticed it smelled funny.

[young paddy1]

I've fallen asleep in a strip club, and a stripper humped my face, I didn't even wake up. I still had whipped cream in my hair the next morning.

I've also woken up in a wedding shop doorway with a fox nibbling at my shoelaces.

I really hate getting drunk due to stuff like this.
Self preservation seems to kick in to overdrive if I'm asleep as well, I dislocated my mates shoulder because he was trying to slap me awake, I didn't mean it, I still had my eyes shut when I did it, then I had to take him to the emergency clinic and explain to his parents and girlfriend why he was now doped up on prescription drugs with his arm in a sling.

I made the mistake of driving away from a scene of a fender bender in which I caused.

In my haste to jump off a bridge in Yosemite National Park I forgot check to see if there were any park rangers around. Ofcourse there was and I got busted.

[Steinmetz]

Alright, here's a good one(not as good as Slash's though). ON the last night of term at the boarding hostel in the school grounds, some friends and I smuggled in some booze which we had been hiding under our beds, it was warm but beer is beer am I right? we started drinking late and eventually got hammered, then we started making dares for each other to do, my dare was to throw this guys shoes in the pool, so I crept over the pool fence, unlocked the gate and threw in the shoes, then the beer kicked in. Grabbing anything I could find I cleared house and everything near by went in, more shoes, peoples blazers from the hostel, towels, shirts, then I kind of went crazy and dragged in rubish bins, bbq racks, some picnic tables, fricking chairs, basically anything in the region. The best part is that the pool only gets cleaned at summer we did this in winter and you couldn't see the bottom of the pool, therefore no evidence. Since then I've left school and I wish I could see the looks on their faces when it does get cleaned. The next morning the school caretaker must have been like " Where the fuck are all my rubbish bins?"

[S.C. Watson]

That's the very reason why I'm still not very keen on using contact lenses. Even though I am really just gonna use it when I am playing soccer.
That was like 15 years ago. I don't think they make contacts like that anymore - most are disposable, easy to wear and are hardly noticable. You only need saline solution to clean them.

Yah... Keeping the cup of sprite and the glass of water to clean your brush side by side is indeed a bad idea. Luckily I hadnt cleaned my brush too many times when I drank the paint water :^^;: .

ANother one! I got up it was around 12:00pm went to go grab myself a glass of water to realize I was completely naked well ha-ha vie never seen such weird looks from people.. Also when you get up and just walk around in your boxsters to fing out later your penis is just hanging out of them!1!1

Ok, fixing my computer with my dad and trying to figure out what the problem is. So, we want to see what is going on so we take off the heat sinc and proceed to turn the thing on. It starts smoking right away and my dads screaming turn it off! Managed to fry the CPU and the Motherboard in about 2 second flat.

Its like only for a splitsecond, until I realise that Im alone and stop, hehe

Another strange thing is that I sometimes find myself thinking about something, and after a while I realise that the object in my head isnt real, its like something my mind has pieced together from subconcious thought-fragments, but Ive been spending what seems like a few minutes thinking about something (like a machine/person) that is just like a mischmasch/collage of something impossible.
As soon as I think "what the hell is that thing" its gone, and I cant piece it back together. It ususally happens if Im really tired, or just about to sleep. Weird as hell.

[acuna_read]

I've fallen asleep in a strip club, and a stripper humped my face, I didn't even wake up. I still had whipped cream in my hair the next morning.
Please say that isnt a euphemism.:S

Havent done anything apart from the usual drunkeness.

Apparently when I was about 1yr old I smeared my own shit over the TV and started eating it according to my mum. I have no idea either.

Edited, cheers Mint.

Don't you mean "euphemism"? :S

oh, ive got another thing. i was about 3, toddling around the backyard. i went on over to these black recycling bins that my father put his empties in.. except i found one with about a quarter of it still in there. it was a generally hot day, and i was thirsty. i had seen my dad drink the stuff and thought that i could drink the same thing (i had no concept of alcohol at that age). the bottle itself had been in the sun for a couple of days, and of course it was open, so i knocked it back. i swear this is one of my earliest memories, but i drank the warm - probably insect infested - beer, stumbled about a bit, then blew chunks on the lawn not long thereafter. fun.

About 3 months before my final college exams, I decided to upgrade my computer. I was planning to take it to a friends house (as I had no idea at that time) for him to help with the upgrades, and knowing that I had some suspicious material in my "My Documents" folder that I didn't want friends to see, I moved everything in that folder to a less obvious location.

So, we've lanned up the computers before we're going to do the wipe and reinstall, and he tells me to copy all my important stuff over to his computer. "Fair enough," I think, and just copy what I think is vital over... namely, my now empty My Docs folder and my art folder (I didn't bother to double check). Five minutes later we're in the process of formatting, and something in me clicks. Oh shit.

All my notes, all my study material, all my practice essays... gone. Everything I'd built over a year and a half in preparation for my final exams.

I bounced back though, but it wasn't fun.

Oh oh! This is a tad funnier. Okay, so a month back I was down at the shops (standing IN the supermarket infront of the service counter) with a friend, bumped into a different friend, and decided to show him how I could backflip perfectly now after so many months of gym training.

So, I check behind me... all clear... check again... all clear... JUMP AND TUCK OH SHIT BANG CRASH

I didn't see anything, but the first friend saw a Woolworths girl run around the corner, not looking. He tried to warn me, but I didn't hear or see her...

Seems that I managed to headbutt her right in the breasts while upside down before rotating and crashing on my face. I can't remember any of it, I just opened my eyes once I hit the ground and thought "what, I messed up?" Either way, I felt okay (if a bit headachey) until people pointed out the fact that my face was bleeding everywhere.

I managed to split myself open all over my right eye, quite nastily. I thought I needed to go to Hospital, but it turns out Chris's mum is an awesome nurse and fixed me up at her house real quick. Either way...

My fave part was the residual purple and yellow "eyeshadow" that people commented on for over a week.

Haha, there's so much great stuff in this thread!

I got another one for you all..

How many of you have woken up in the morning, hung over, making yourself a nice bowl of cornflakes, and start eating, thinking about yesternight, only to realize that you put salt instead of sugar on the cornflakes?

Violent shouting into the big, porcelain telephone ensues.

When I have to go somewhere or meet up with someone and I dont know how to get there, when they're explaining to me what routes to take, I never pay attention. I'm thinking of something different and just saying "yeah I got it".
Then, I will arrive really late, because I search for the house or the location endlessly until I get there by chance or asking people on the street how to get to the addess (which I don't retain really well in my memory either).

I dont know why I do that.

Ohohoh, ok so like when I was about 8 or 9 I was over at my grandparents house, and it was almost bed time so I go into the bathroom to brush my teeth. I picked up the tube of 'toothpaste' and began applying it to my brush and then the brush to my teeth.
Well this paticular 'toothpaste' had a funny taste to it, which I had to run out into the living room where every one was and announce it.
Turns out it was my gramps shaving cream in a tube.

WHY DID I EVER PLAY WORLD OF WARCRAFT....


mmorpg's are the devil...and with winter break coming and the prospect of all my friends being far away.. WoW tempts me now. :(

[Bad Brownie]

LOL Interceptor! I actually noticed that before but didn't say anything. Too busy being a yeomen. I should know better than to keep things from my captain! Off to repair the warp core! (I guess now I'm an engineer...) ; )

you can count on me to keep the tiger balm away from you, sir.

[Bad Brownie]

Although I have been known to put things in the fridge that don't belong there.

I do the exact same thing. I would never find my way anywhere if it wasn't for Mapquest.

Well, I can't miss out on THIS action. All the good stories in my life involve me making a fool out of myself, and I can't help but share this tale, which is a favorite among friends. I'm not sure it translates to text well because it requires gestures and facial expressions, but I'll do what I can. Please forgive how very long it is.

This occured on the 2004/2005 New Year. I've never been one to do anything special on New Years. My habit of not drinking sort of knocks out 90% of things that can be done on that day. The most exciting thing I'd done in recent memory was go to some strangers house with a friend of mine and sit in the kitchen by myself while he was on the phone with his girlfriend. Or perhaps the 1999/2000 New Year where I'd had surgery for sleep apnea and I was out of it when the ball dropped. Regardless, you can see that I don't paint the town red, and the like.
I had moved to Nashville, TN just a few days before New Years this time around, and my ex-girlfriend, who also lived in Nashville, said we should go downtown and see what there is to see.

Now, I don't know if any of you have been to downtown Nashville for New Years, but it is 100% anarchy. We both took one look at all the people running around with no pants, breaking beer bottles over each others heads and decided that we'd experienced all we needed.

Sadly, there was little else to do that we could find. Eventually we ended up stopping at an Indian buffet eatery and having a bite, and then drove around for a while pondering what we might do. After the literal hour it took us to drive out of downtown due to the traffic, we ended up, somehow, in the ghetto. You know, the place where a little baby is born and a mother cries. That ghetto.

It was around this point, of course, that the unthinkable happened. I had to go to the bathroom in a bad way. And for those of you out there who've eaten Indian, you know it wasn't the type of bathroom using I could do standing up, unless you're VERY skilled and happen to carry toilet paper on your belt.

I tried to ignore this problem. The beads of sweat that began to burst upon my brow showed the intense effort at which I tried. I could not, obviously, ask this girl who I'd been dating but a few months to risk life and limb and stop somewhere. Besides, those of you who have been to a men's room know other reasons I'd not want to stop. In fact, life and limb is a small price to pay compared to going into one of those hell holes. But soon, not even Poseidon himself could have held back the fury of the tsunami that I was keeping at bay, and I had to give in and ask her to stop, and stop we did.

The first thing I noticed was that there were about 5 bullet holes in the door when I entered, but at the time, I didn't care one bit. I ignored the oddly upper-class seeming clerk with the high pitched voice and made my way to the damp, dark bathroom in the back.

What relief swept over me! I'd made it. Sure, I'd probably just gotten crabs from the toilet seat, and I might look around to find no toilet paper (I left my belt at home), but for now, life was good. As good as it can be, in such a situation, anyway.

We can [censor] pretty much all of this part, but let it be known that while I was sitting there, I noticed that the lock on the bathroom door was broken. I'd noticed it when I tried to lock it on my way in, but at the time there wasn't a moment to lose on such minor problems. However, now I was a little anxious about it. The door was out of my reach, and to try the lock again, I'd have to stand up, which was NOT happening until the completion of this ritual. But I figured, "Hey, I'll be quick and if anyone knocks I'll just say it's occupied". If you didn't know, no one knocks in the ghetto.

The guy who walked in was about the size, and also looked like, Tom 'Tiny' Lister Jr. (who I sat next to on a plane once, might I mention), crazy eye and everything. He opened the door, and he opened it wide. And then he stopped and stared at me. And I stared at him, and he stared at me, and around we went. There was a long, uncomfortable pause for what HAD to be around 15 to 20 seconds. Waaaaay longer than anyone should be in this situation. Eventually I had the foresight to say "um...it's occupied?" (yes, I formed it as a question). And then he says to me, "Aw, dude, my bad!" and he walks out. However, he forgot to shut the door. And while I'm thinking to myself "do I ask him to shut it or do I risk standing up for the seconds it will take to close it?" he says loudly, back in the center of the 711..."that mother f'er stunk it UP!"

The world stood still. Except for the fact it didn't, because a second later, I saw about five heads lean into the viable area of the bathroom. They were stacked on top of each other, like in a cartoon. And they looked me dead in the eye, with no shame. And what could I do? Sit there and take it. And that is what I did.

When my work in that place had been complete, I had planned to just run outside, hop in the car, tell NO one about this experience EVER and put it all behind me. But I couldn't. And the reason? I still had to go to the counter and pay for gas.

Oh my...that is very very funny. That needs to be animated. Badly. ; )

I have a few stories that could probably top that...but I don't know how comfortable I (or my boyfriend) would be discussing my romantic life online. = ) Most of my funny stories involve a little bit of the nasty, lol.

[dachish]

Not to be bold but I don't think anyone can top that! =p
And I don't think it needs to be animated...seeing it in motion once was more than enough hehe.
