What's the stupidest thing you have done/said?

...that makes you cringe and shudder now that you think back on it?

Come on, we have all been there, share.

I once, while on my phone to a friend, was in a state of panic searching the house looking for my phone. Eventually, I told my friend that I will be delayed meeting her as I couldn't find my phone anywhere. She said, "Have you tried your ear?..."

Once drove 40 miles back home to retrieve concert tickets that I'd left on the kitchen table.

They were etickets though and so a quick visit to an Internet cafe would have sufficed.

Will you marry me.

NachoBusiness

Okay.

I once agreed to marry someone on the Internet in the mistaken belief that they had just proposed to me.

The dumbest thing I have ever done is not getting here before NachoBusiness.

There have been plenty, believe you me!

In and around 2005/6 I said to my then gf, well our house has now doubled in value since we bought it in 2001 and it's worth about 400,000 euro so by 2010, jaysus it could be worth 5 or 600,000...

I've been wrong a lot, but that's the wrongest I've ever been.

The good thing about being really awkward, shy and quiet is that my stupid thoughts have usually passed through several stages of overthinking before being verbalised. My stupid actions, on the other hand...

Oh I just remembered another one:

I once walked into a Barber, sat down, she put robe around me, looked at me in the mirror and asked, "so what can I do for you?".

To which I replied, "can I have a haircut?"

I worked in a drop in centre for homeless people a few years and we encouraged placements and volunteers to help clear the floor by asking service users to leave.

I didn't say it but a volunteer one evening shouted very loudly and clearly "c'mon folks , have you'se no homes to go to " ?

Probably be easier to list the rare times I've actually done something sensible tbh, rather than try and think of the most stupid things I've ever said or done. I try and scrub those from my memory

well it would have been worse if you had asked the local butcher..

In my last job there was a poster on the wall saying "Sometimes Mammy or Daddy is Mammy and Daddy" or words to that effect. Not realising it referred to single parents, I dumbly said to my co workers that I wondered if it was hard on kids growing up with a cross dresser for a parent .

I've often said very intelligent things to stupid people but I'm not sure if that's the same thing. Maybe you don't understand.

I went into work one morning and noticed a new lad there who was of African origin, so being the nice person I am I decided to approach him to introduce myself etc. ......... he looked at me blankly and replied "I've worked here for 3 months".

It's not often I feel awkward .........
