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.

As soon as I posted the thread I thought to myself that posting here was probably the dumbest thing I've done today.

Went to the loo thinking it was number 1 and it was number 2. Dirty.

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

Fried 2 eggs for the kids and put the grill on for the rashers.Sat down all happy when the fire alarm went off.

Rip rashers.

Poured hot water into the coffee jar instead of the cup, bye bye full jar of coffee!

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.

I had my fun. That's all that matters.

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'.

razorblunt · 30-07-2017 02:18PM

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
