Whats the dumbest thing you've done today?

I've got off to a great start

Thought I'd get some of those little jobs the wife wanted me to do done and started off with sticking a big broken fruit bowl back together.

As soon as I mention superglue I imagine you can guess the rest but there is a bit of a twist.

While I was avoiding sticking myself to the bowl I didn't notice the tube of superglue dripping on my desk. In order to get a bit more room on the desk I pushed my mouse out the way with my elbow and also moved the tube of superglue. The result is my mouse is stuck to the desk.

Needless to say the superglue failed to stick the china back together :mad:

Bit early yet, give me a chance

I went to the trouble of making a coffee in a moka pot and said I'd treat myself to a spoon of sugar. Instead of sugar I put a spoon of instant coffee in.
That's the dumbest thing I've done today but it's early yet.

Other than getting out of bed, failing to get a similar comment in first.

Went to the swimming pool with the kids. All changed into togs, I'm packing up the clothes, and realise I forgot to pack a towel. 3 of us, get back on our clothes, walk home, get towel and head back for the swim. Helps we're a 2 min walk home.

Probably staying up all night watching the UFC, having copious amounts of wine and posting in a Celtic thread and hoping that Celtic is tarnished by the actions of 30 hooligan morons...but alas every terrorist cliche has been thrown at the most family friendly club in Europe by people who have probably never been to a football match never mind parkhead.

My wife has gone out for the day, left me with the 2 youngest so there's plenty of time left for me to do something stupid

Four Phucs Ache

Grandad did that in Only fools and horses and no one noticed until after they poured it over their turkey on Christmas dinner...didn't really matter though because poor Grandad didn't take out the bag of giblets....well the wrapper did say pre cleaned and ready to cook...such a plonker

I put a screw in a tin of tuna fish.

Not today but this thread reminds me of when I accidentally put shampoo on my toothbrush and started brushing my teeth.

I was fairly sleep deprived at the time to be fair. It was really horrible. Washing your mouth out with soap definitely does not stop you from swearing because I did quite a bit after it happened!

Reminds me of my mother an ardent user of hair spray and spray deodorant. She has mixed the two up on many occasions :rolleyes:

Woke up, started drinking and spent all my money until payday on booze and cigarettes. I'll never learn.

Not today but I think this warrants a mention anyway.

I had a stye in my eye and my other half's son had a verucca at the very same time.
Got out of bed one morning,went downstairs and picked up my eye drops from the mantle piece.
Little did I know that it wasn't my eye drops but in fact the young fellas stuff for burning off his verucca in an almost identical container.

The second it hit my eye it felt like pouring acid into my eye.
Ran over to the sink and started splashing water into it.
Then a visit to the doctor where the first thing he said to me was "ya F*ckin' eejit'.

Not me, but its too good to not share and it happened today, I was out walking the dog and passed a cafe where a work colleague was sat outside. We saw each other from across the road and I waved to say hello and he went to wave back but used the hand with his coffee, lifted it to wave and poured it all over himself. He'll hear about that tomorrow, they'll all hear about that tomorrow.

My mother always tells the story of the morning of her wedding day when her father (my grandfather) mistook hair removal cream for brylcream. He took a handful and slicked his hair back and for the next two hours large clumps were falling out....she says as she was walking up the aisle, he had literally only two clumps, one at his right temple and the other just above the middle of the base of his neck....everything else was smooth as a coot..wedding pictures have him wearing a trilby....she was gobsmacked one day when the sitcom 'how I met your mother' had a situation where Marshall shaved his hair badly on his wedding day and to cover up wore a trilby...she is convinced that the story was robbed from that

After a house party of drinking games, went into a store and started eating a bag of chips without paying. Cops called on and was chased around the aisles. Was put into the police car and tried to escape by opening the door. However, the child lock was on and using all my force, I managed to break off the handle, not intentionally. Cops were pissed. Was cuffed and spent the night in jail. Paid 100 bucks for repairs and released with no charge

Have to say I'm quite proud of myself, my wife has been away for 9 days and the house is still standing, kids are still intact, worst thing was experimenting with fairy liquid in the dishwasher (there was a plus to this, when I took the dishwasher out, I found that the inlet was slightly loose)

Burger and crisps doesn't quite have the same ring on a drunken Friday night walk home.

Bought a new pair of brown shoes identical to my old ones because they were so comfy. Clearing out my room for new people to come in and I managed to throw the new pair down the garbage shoot instead of the old ones. :-(

Only realised what happened when i went to grab them for work.

That reminds me about one of the secretaries where I used to work.

One morning when she came into work and I said to her, you must kick your shoes off under your bed at night. She was a bit spooked by that and said.... "yeah why did you say that"? I continued and in the morning you sort of fish around with your toes and slip your shoes back on. At this stage she must have though I was watching her through the window but looked at me and said, "how do you know"? Easy I said thats the only way you could be wearing one blue shoe and one red one

Almost creamed a cyclist.

Running late for work and pulled out of traffic to take a short cut down a bus lane - missed him by inches. Would have been entirely my fault. A split second of my stupidity coupled with a cavalier attitude to the rules of the road could have had serious consequences for the poor chap.
