Doing something really stupid

vorbis · 09-09-2005 8:35pm #1

Ever do something blindingly stupid?
I was out last night and got talking to this girl outside the club. We seemed to be getting on pretty well. Her friends were grabbing a taxi so I asked for her number. I entered her number in my phone, showed it to her for confirmation and then put the phone in my pocket.

Grand I thought and headed home. Earlier today, I get out the phone to give her a ring. Her number isn't in there. I tried to remember last night and it horrifyingly dawned on me that I had literally entered the number showed it to her and put the phone in my pocket without ever actually saving the number!

I just hope that thats my stupidity quota used up for the next year. So if you're a 3rd year NUIG arts student from Mayo, thats why I didn't ring you :-)

....as she sits, waiting with bated breath by the phone, longing, longing, hasnt eaten in a while, possibly days. She picks up the phone reciever to make sure it's still working. "DAMN! What if he called the second I lifted the reciever!" Rocking back and forth, longing....

Nightmare!!
Hey maybe if you're at that club again she might be there again too? Might be a local stop for her?!?

That's the survival of the fittest rescuing her from polluting her genes with yours. If you can't even store a number how are you going to look after her kids?

stupid is stupid does

Just switch my sarchasm detector on... BOOM!

Sarcaligious.

Is a bit of a stupid thing to do. I dont think I've ever done anything that stupid.

Oh no, you have.

You just can't remember it.

Maybe you repressed it or something!

larryone · 09-09-2005 10:31pm

Oh crap.
There were witnesses.
Going to have to do something about that.

Amongst the cavers I cave with, there is an annual "muppet of the year" award, for general muppetry, and occasions where the recipient of the award has preformed certain rediculously stupid acts that go above and beyond the realm of general muppetry. I have recieved the award for the last two years running...

Ahh I'm sure you had a fair bit of drink on you, so it's ok -- I understand!

larryone · 09-09-2005 11:16pm

Bit of advice for ye vorbis:
If you take someones number, the second you've finished dialling it in, call the number. That way, they automagically get yours, and it gets stored under dialled numbers on your handset.
So you didnt put in her name... Do you actually remember her name? Did you at the time (asuming you were drunk)

seamus · 10-09-2005 11:42am

There's only one thing for it vorbis. Go to the same place, same time next week. If she's there, go up to her and tell her the story, good icebreaker.

Ahhh! I feel your pain. I'll just make matters worse by suggesting she could have been "the one"

Nah, you'll bump into her again. Or if you can remember her name, you can probably guess her college e-mail address...

Gazza22 · 10-09-2005 11:56am

Ah that's a real pain in the ass!

Put tbh take the advice Seamus gave you, it's your best bet

vorbis · 10-09-2005 1:01pm

With my phone you type in the name before the number so i do remember her name Larryone. I had a bit to drink but I wasn't that bad. I will make sure to ring the number in future though. I'll probably be back at that club again so I might bump into her. Galway ain't that big. Its just galling when you do something so stupid.

jamiecake · 10-09-2005 1:06pm

if it is ment to be, you will meet her again

Tar.Aldarion · 10-09-2005 3:48pm

meh i gave my number to the wrong somebody in cuba the other night vorbis,sometimes you are better off when it is just a one night thing

thejovialhost · 10-09-2005 3:55pm

Sickner vorbis. Tough break.
But think of it as a positive, she could be a TOTAL NUTTER and you're better off not contacting her again

JohnCleary · 10-09-2005 3:58pm

To OP: I'd hardly call that 'doing something stupid', id call it 'being pist'

Chill! Where did ya meet her? Was it a pub or a cattlemart like CP? You'd be surprised.. and ill tell you why.

Last year I met this girl in a club in town, got her number. I txt her, never got a reply. Sent her aonther txt about a week later saying 'Was it just a drunken thing blah blah' and never got a report.
A few weeks later I met the girl in the same place, turns out she lost her phone and was actually mad into me. It lasted a few months and I got bored

Or she could have been the best sex of your entire life! She could have been the perfect woman! Breakfast in bed every morning,a cool beer in your hand as soon as you run out,threesomes or even foursomes with her and her female,Swedish porn star friends......

Tar.Aldarion · 10-09-2005 4:03pm

that doesn't always happen,just occasionally in galway and when i turn up to the beers in dublin ^^

ando · 10-09-2005 4:13pm

talk about doing something stupid.... some great looking girl asked for my number today, and I said "what for" ..... D'OH with a capital D. My excuse is she took me totally off guard

Tar.Aldarion · 10-09-2005 4:21pm

omfg,that beats the op hands down.it's the equivalent of when some girl asks you if you like anybody at the moment and you look around,saying,i don't know

That's quite staggeringly incompetent, in fairness.
Big feckin' eejit!

Oh, and to LadyJ: That isn't helping. Unless you wanna help make the OP feel WORSE, in which case I suspect that your post is helping a great deal...

What I mean is that anything that "might have been" has equal potential of being terrible or mind-blowingly fantastic.
Don't dwell on it,just look for something else to hit! The next has as much potential as the last.
