    I have on more than one occasion......

    Left the house keys in the door on the outside when going out.
    Spent 20+ minutes trying to figure out why a pc is giving me little alert boxes, then actually *reading* one and knowing exactly.

    Im sure ill think of (or be reminded of), more stupid things...

    Read this thread :P

    On a more serious note though, don't think I've done anything I'd consider really stupid when sober tbh. If I have then it obviously wasn't significant enough to be remembered.

    Talking about someone to someone else via text and sending the text to the person I'm talking about... serves me right for talking about people I guess! Lol! Hasn't happened in a fair while, but I'm fairly paranoid about it.

    Give honest opinions to herself when asked about new clothes or a new hair-do. I'll never learn.

    Left the house very early one morning and was wondering why everything seemed a bit blurry - put it down to the fact that I had just rolled out of bed and gone straight out the door. I was halfway down the road to the bus stop before I realised I'd forgotten to put my glasses on.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,563 ✭✭✭connundrum


    I go to work on a daily basis :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 224 ✭✭Jotter


    When holding money in one hand and rubbish in another ive thrown the money in bin - more than once!! :o


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 441 ✭✭brown*eyed*girl


    A few years ago when my son was around 1, I put his dirty nappy (thankfully wet only!) in the washing machine and his dirty pyjamas in the bin. Didn't realise it until I unloaded the washing machine after the wash was done and was wondering what all the white squidgy stuff was on the clothes :o

    Also put the remote control in the fridge once and couldn't find it for ages..

    Often bring the remote control to bed too..

    Years ago before we had mobiles :eek: kept trying to ring my best friend and the phone was constantly engaged until I realised I was ringing my own number the last hour.

    in my house when you come in the front door there is a small hall then another door into the kitchen.. every night my dad locks the door into the hall so about 2 or 3 mornings a week i'll go to walk out the door to go to work only to walk stright into the door... i never learn!

    Left the keys in the outside of the door after a night out (yes, sober), thankfully I'd locked the porch door thingy...
    that and calling someone after talking about them when i'd meant to call someone else...

    accidently sent a message to my mother which was supposed to be for my girlfriend.... oh how I cringe when I think back :o


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 589 ✭✭✭Deer


    Looking for my glasses when they are actually on me.
    Despite the fact that I use it at least thirty times a day not being able to remember the date straight away.
    Jumping on cardboard boxes and either falling through them or bouncing off them and falling and hurting myself.
    Tripping and falling on my high heels (I never do this when I'm p issed)
    Trying to change the channel on the tv with the remote for the dvd

    The list would go on... I'm a very forgetful person.

    Taking a piss in the washbasket and throwing my boxers into the toilet.

    I did this straight after waking up from about 2 hrs sleep....

    I've got an upright washing machine next to the toilet and find myself throwing my laundry into the toilet occasionally.

    Once or twice I've been known to spend about half an hour looking and wondering where my sunglasses are only to find I'm wearing them.

    Or the usual things revolving around thinking or being told to do something, and five minutes later having completely and utterly forgotten what it was.

    Me too...
    and someone asked me to get their handbag from them once... I went and picked up the tv remote and handed it to them... I didn't cop on until they pointed it out :o

    I just stood in the lift for literally 4-5 minutes.. wondering why it was taking so bleedin long to go up one floor. Apparently you have to press a button to make it move :o

    I hate it when that happens, especially when you're not alone in the lift and you're the one who "pressed" the button. The other occupants of the lift look at you as if you were born yesterday, and then throw their eyes up to the high heavens. Meanies. :(

    I once spent about 15 minutes trying to order drinks off a mirror in Fireworks in Pearse Street. I could see the reflection of the bar behind me and thought I was stood in the queue. (drunk for that one thanks be to Jebus)

    Once I left the Turks head and accidentally took a (big) girls coat instead of my own. Because I was so drunk, I didnt notice the lovely white fuzzy cuffs and neckline. To make things worse, I tried to get into a car which I thought was a taxi, but wasnt. Essentially, some poor girl in North Strand turned around to find what looked like a very p*ssed six foot two 240 pound transvestite trying to squeeze into the back of her Micra. Hope she saw the funny side later, but she drive off with the door open. :o

    Waste my money on stupid stuff I don't really need....:o

    This will not be beaten.


    When i worked out on the road as an apprentice carpet fitter we where looking for directions to this place. My window was half way open and i stuck my head out to theses two lads to ask for help in finding our destination. I stupidly stuck my head out and went to roll the window down cause it was a bit tight but i rolled it up jamming my head between the window and the top of the door (hurt like hell too) and the two boys couldnt give directions, not because the didnt know where the place was it was because they couldnt stop laughing.
