I live in what is sort of the attic room of an apartment block (so there's some roof below the window). The other day I was alone in the apartment and I walked over to the window. Suddenly something popped up at the window and I screamed and started hyper ventilated...before realising it was a pigeon that had been sitting on the roof.

I was waiting on a lift from a mate outside a shopping centre awhile ago, someone pulled up and i blindly hopped into the car and started chatting away... til I looked up and realised it wasnt my mate. It was a 40-something year old mother with a kid in the back looking at me as if I was stark raving mad! Felt a wee bit silly after that one..

Telling a good lookin Hippy bird who was chatting me up a few weeks ago that "I couldn't afford one" when she asked me "Do you like children??":rolleyes:

When i was young, probably around 8 or 9 i was climbing the large tree out the back of the house, a branch i was using broke and i fell. I landed on the ground on my back. I lept up and ran into the house screaming my 'back is broken, my back is broken!'. My family still laugh at me for it. I am getting married in three months and i know for a fact that the best man will tell it.

This is actually very terrible:

I worked in a toy shop years ago, and one Christmas I sold a gameboy or some such device to a woman as a santa present for her kid. Only thing was, I sold her the display box, and forgot to put the gameboy inside it. So, Christmas morn, the kid runs downstairs full of expectation and joy, tears open his present only to find it empty! And I saunter into work Stephens' Day to find a long, rather angry, expletive filled fax from the irate mother!! I still feel bad about it, but can;t help giggling whenever I remember it. Poor kid is probably scarred for life. I've probably played a decisive role in the development of Ireland's next serial killer!

:eek: i did the exact same thing a few of times when i first started working in a toystore , noone told me the boxes were empty so as far as i'm concerned it wasn't my fault . By the time i copped it , it was too late , there was no way to track down the customers so i kept quiet and quit on christmas eve

I don't know if it can be termed stupidity but in the past I've said thankyou to an ATM and apologised for kicking a chair that nobody was sitting on.

I always seem to reply "You too!" when the girl at the check in desk says to me "Enjoy your flight". Feel like a tool afterwards.

1Went to see Ardal O'Hanlon last night and when he was introduced (forgetting I was holding a pint) I clapped it - tsunami of Guinness all over me, bright.

Fixed that for ya!

So, I'm the only one guilty of raising my hand in school when answering a question and yell 'mum! instead of 'miss'! The fluhucking shame of it!

Guill · 24-01-2011 08:39PM

Mammy, Mammy, i mean Miss, Miss!
The shame....

xoxyx · 24-01-2011 08:43PM

I've left home with the tv remote control in my hand instead of my laptop. Mistaking a remote for a phone is one thing, but a laptop? It slowly dawned on me later that day when I remembered that my laptop bag had been way too light on the race to work.

Also ran all the way downstairs one morning and then had to run back up because I'd forgotten to put on my shoes.

I never get up on time. Mornings are stressful for me...

rusty_racer94 · 24-01-2011 08:44PM

Once, It was snowing so much that I couldn't get out of the house.
The door was like stuck. So, I got a strange idea...
I opened the window and jumped out in the snow.
It was from 2nd floor but it didn't hurt

That was like a rush feeling, and I had to like plough the door so I could get in again.
But, I didn't take with me any "digging tools" so I couldn't get inside...
At least a neighbor came helped me

I've done this.

I was waiting for a lift at a Luas stop and accidentally got into a car with a stranger. We shared a moment of complete and utter shock before the apologies started. I've never jumped out of a car so quickly in my life.

TanG411 · 24-01-2011 08:54PM

I turned a corner and nearly bumped into a dog. While walking around him, I apologised by saying 'sorry'.

Similar thing happened to me back in 2007.
My dad was driving and I was in the passenger seat, we were in a parking along the road. there was an exact same car as our's ahead of us...a guy came running and thinking it was his car, he opened the door and he literally sat on my lap!!!!
He was so shocked that he wouldn't stop begging for pardon.

I clapped when a band on the Late Late Show was finished playing despite the fact that I was sitting at home on the sofa and they were on the telly.

Images of you sitting on the couch clapping like a seal!

Don't worry, I've watched The Late Late Show before as well.

Do you ever sleep somewhere different than your own bed and for the first time it feels like you've forgotten everything?

The first night I slept in my ex-boyfriend's house I awoke to my phone beeping but instead of switching it off I shushed it, when that didnt work I tried tapping it.

A friend of mine had a similar experience staying in a friends brothers bed. His phone went off and all he could do was shout at it til it stopped.

rusty_racer94 · 24-01-2011 10:06PM

Don't know why But I actually said this when I was asleep, '' Dad, whats the english translation for 'boiling an egg'? ''

darragh16 · 24-01-2011 10:09PM

Took a few painkillers when I was drinkin. Got on a plane and had a toss without remembering...

I've been unfortunate enough to drop my phone down the toilet.

wurzlitzer · 25-01-2011 04:05AM

I give presentations for work
After a presentation
1. I have clapped at myself
2. On the way down from podium tripped on a microphone landed on my face while ripping the microphone from the wall making it defucnct

Also lost the coffee pot by putting it in the microwave
Put a tin of beans in the bathroom
Left the house wearing slippers
There's loads more enough to fill a book
But too tired

I've done the "clapping for stuff on tv" thing as well.
