Your most braindead dumbest moment?

Was looking at an old school friends wedding photos on facebook recently, and saw a girl wearing a lovely dress.

Kept scrolling and saw another girl wearing the same dress, thinking ah god, 2 of them in the same dress, but sure look it happens, whatever.

Scrolled again and theres a THIRD girl in the exact same dress! And I'm thinking jesus 3 girls at the same wedding in the same dress! What are the chances!?

And then it hit me....

So! What was your dumb moment?

Was going through the airport in London, saw a workee with a name tag BA, saw another worker with BA, all looking south Asian, I though it must be a popular surname there until I realized it meant British Airways

Tried to park a car in a tight spot in the forecourt of a garage after a test drive and did €300 worth of damage.

It was never going to go in easily.

One of the girls i work with had a birthday coming up.....let's call her Anne cos that's her name.

In was tasked to organise a collection from the other guys to get a card and some goodies.

Anyway I sent the email around making sure not to include Anne.

Later on a few of the guys start laughing......there are two Annes on the team. I assumed it was Anne sitting beside me.....it wasn't her Birthday but the other Anne......oops!!!

Another one.....it wasn't me. One of the guys dad passed away. The Team Leader sends an email to the team members using the team name asking for some euros to buy flowers...... what she failed to realise was that the guy whose dad passed away was included on the email. She never realised. I ended up going over to IT to ask them to go into his email and got it deleted.

In forth class primary school, Throwing the unwrapped sweet into the classroom bin instead of the wrapping paper.
Running across the road and the path of an approaching ambulance with its lights. If it knocked me down....
Think about the "Carry on doctor" movie without the laughs. That vintage of ambulance.

Oh yeah

When I was in my teens, was working on a roof. Was standing on scaffolding. There was a bow saw on the roof which started to slide down. I reach out to grab it......ended up grabbing it by the blade slicing the inside of my fingers.

Broke my mams favourite Christmas decoration and accidentally superglued it to the palm of my hand in my haste to fix it before she noticed.

Drunkenly falling asleep with a fan heater on on my bed when I was 18. I woke up the next morning and it was still on but covered by the duvet and my shin was quite badly blistered by being pushed against the heater face for hours. It could have been much, much worse though. I know fan heaters are supposed to switch off when they overheat but this one clearly didn’t. Not even a funny drunk tale. Just pure stupidity.

I got a bit of work done on my car and after getting it back I had to refuel, that was grand but when I was at the petrol pump, I picked up the diesel one by mistake and couldn't understand why the nozel wouldn't fit into the tank. I was so close to calling the mechanic to see had he changed anything. Thankfully I realized how silly I was before making any call.

Ive done quite a few.

When I got my first house, for some reason best known only to myself decided to decorate everything in the kitchen blue. Blue floor tiles, blue wall tiles, blue dishes, blue kettle and blue microwave.

Fast forward about 6 years and the blue is driving me to drink. Had my sister down for dinner and the conversation came round to the blue overload. I said to my sister..."what kind of eejit gets a blue fckn microwave. How did you let me buy that?' She got up and peeled the blue protective plastic off leaving a WHITE microwave.

About a year later, she tagged me in a lad bible thing that some girl in the UK did with a fridge. I was first though. They still take the piss out of me over the lovely blue microwave.

Another time I came back to my car in a private car park where the parking guy had written a ticket to time my 10 mins grace.

I rang up head office anouncing I was clamped. They said you are not, I insisted I was, there was a yellow yoke on the wheel. Parking guy came out to 'unclamp me " and pointed out it was not a Clamp but the yellow brake caliper on the 4 wheels.

He asked me am I a blonde who dyed her hair black with a deadpan face.

A friend of my OH called here one day and realised he had his fathers keys. I was going in the direction of where his father was working and said I'd give him the keys. I got there and saw his father, a carpenter, on the roof of a 3 storey building and his van parked right beside it. I shouted up to him that his son sent me to give him back his van keys, he shouted down "ok just throw them into the van there". So I went to open the door but the van was locked and I shouted up to him "it's locked!" and he said nothing just looked at me like I was a bit slow, which I was because about 10 seconds later I had a lightbulb moment and unlocked the van myself with the keys that I had in my hand

Standard thing.

Saw a try being scored on tv in the pub, much celebration.
What, I thought was reasonable time passed and I celebrated the second try scored. Nope just a replay, game hadn’t even restarted.

In the airport last year, 6am sitting at the boarding gate waiting for my flight to france. Lots of people waiting with me. Decided to go off and hunt down some pills for flight sickness just in case I needed them. I spent maybe 15 mins walking around until I got them... Returned to my boarding gate, everyone was gone! The plane was boarded and the gate closed. I couldn't fckn believe it ! I went to the checkin desk and explained what happened and they said all flights were fully booked and I wouldn't be flying with them today ! I had a hotel and someone waiting for me in France so I had to get there today ! I ended up paying 3 times the price with another airline to take me to France two hours later.... At this stage I didn't give a sht, I had to get to France. I will never make a mistake like this ever again.

You really are a bunch of idiots.

Anyway, I've got into the passenger seat of my own car on more than one occasion. And rather than getting straight back out, I rooted around in the glove box for a minute, pretending that I was looking for something.

One time I was in a conversation with some work colleagues about climbing Croagh Patrick. One of two of us were saying it’s a fairly difficult climb, to which another colleague chimed in with a great plan.

You can climb half it on one weekend and come back and climb the other half the weekend after.

Except it never dawned on her.

I was in the hospital visiting one day and went to the shop to get a takeaway tea. As I was paying the cashier asked “do you work here?”. “No”, says I, “I work in bla bla bla, why? Do you know me?”
“Eh no”.. he said awkwardly. “I’m just asking to see if you have a staff card that needs swiping”

....I knew that.

I was in a club before and I saw this guy who looked exactly like me and was wearing the same thing.
I went over to him to try and make a little conversation and he ignored me. I thought he was a real twat.
Sometime later I realised I was looking in a mirror.

Looking back my most absolute brain dead moment was marrying the total psycho who is now thankfully my ex.
