Things you do occasionally that make you feel like a right idiot.

We all have a few things that when they do occur, you feel like a right tool.

So what stupid things are you guilty of?

A few minutes ago I cooked a small pizza for myself due to skipping dinner. Even though the thing was roasting hot and I knew it'd burn the inside of my mouth, I've had it happen a thousand times before, I went for it anyway. I now sit here with a scalded tongue, feeling like a complete idiot.

The floor is yours..

Thanks, didn't know this was a competition to win a new floor.

Humans eh! · 04-11-2010 02:16AM

Pizza, oh yes mmmm

CorkMan · 04-11-2010 02:16AM

Ejaculating in towels and putting them back on the rack.

You can choose the floor or risk it all for what's in the mystery box..

Does it make you feel like an idiot or do you sit there with a smug grin waiting for the next helpless victim to go into the bathroom?!

Sometimes I boil the kettle and pour it over my head.

I know it'll hurt but I do it anyway!

As a corkman do ye now call that a "prendy"?

Augmerson · 04-11-2010 02:21AM

Tripping yourself up while walking.

Bumping into people and being all awkward getting by them.

Only if it's done on a plane.

The last time I risked going for a mystery box, she wouldn't leave me alone for a month.

I'll take the floor please.

mikemac · 04-11-2010 02:26AM

Someone calls me.

We agree they can call me back later

I ask do they have a pen and paper to write down my number, forgetting that they phoned me in the first place

PanchoVilla · 04-11-2010 02:30AM

Saying "ok, love ya" to someone on the phone when you really didn't mean to. That's embarrassing.

Tried cooking a steak when i first went to college. Nothing was happening for 20 minutes so I decided to check if the burners were on... with my bare hands.

I assume it was takeaways for the next 3 years of college??

Sometimes, I absent-mindedly sit in the passenger seat of my own car. If I'm in a public place, I then have to pretend to rummage around in the glove compartment for a minute, before walking around to the driver's seat.

Brendog · 04-11-2010 02:53AM

I cooked an omlette for dinner, the phone rang and by the time I got back to the table to eat it, it was cold. So i threw it in the microwave and after a few crackling sounds I realised I had left the fork on the plate...

Boy was there egg on my face!

magicface1 · 04-11-2010 02:57AM

the funniest thing just happened to me there I was lying on the bed and hadn't moved for ages and my left leg was dead. I stood up and my left leg gave way and I actually fell over...

jdooley28 · 04-11-2010 03:11AM

I ring my friends on their house phones and ask them if they are at home.

OutlawPete · 04-11-2010 03:13AM

Ordered an Indian earlier and being the sound bloke I am, gave him a nice tip.

He looks at the money that I told him to keep the change from and says:

"Oh thanks so much, enjoy your meal.."

And I said:

"Same too you.."

Usually he just says something like, 'Have a good night' - that bastard confused me I tell ya

Sometimes I think I lose the remote for the TV, I look around for it for about 2 or 3 seconds and then I realise its in my hand.
I can't be the only one? Please say I'm not the only one?

alwaysadub · 04-11-2010 03:16AM

I do a lot of things that make me feel like an idiot tbh.

Bumping into inanimate objects and saying sorry would be a usual one.

Senna · 04-11-2010 03:21AM

I'm terrible with names, so if i remember someone's name, i over use it; Hello Tom, lovely weather tom, what you up to today tom......
But every-so-often, it's not their name and when you've used the wrong name 3 times within 20 seconds, its embarrassing.

I can do better than that.

Was in a mad rush to leave the house, went on a screaming rampage round the house whilst looking for my hairbrush..... while I was brushing my hair.

Decided to ware my new boots with a knee length skirt, so put on an uber attractive pair of grey wooley knee socks for under my boots. Left boot failed to zip up fully so abandoned the idea and trotted off to work. Noticed people looking at me funny and thought "wtf are You looking at" and threw a dirty look. Walking on overpass and looking at my feet thinking "black, grey, black, grey, black...WTF? GREY?". Ah yes, still had one lovely grey wooly sock on.

Have been know to leave the house in two odd shoes, or a shoe/slipper combo.

slightly absent minded, me.

I do that-but with my phone. Takes me longer than a few seconds to realise most of the time though!

+1. Saying "excuse me" to shop dummies.

Bumping into inanimate objects and telling them to "Shh!"

Things you do occasionally that make you feel like a right idiot.
