Stupid Things You've Done?

[Zombie]

OK, been meaning to write this thread for a while, the "Taxi" thread reminded me.

What things have you done that you have just looked back on and thought 'I am a complete idiot'?

I once got into a Taxi after a long day at work on a Friday evening and as i sat down the taxi driver asked me "So where are you off to tonight?", me thinking he was asking what I was doing that night responded "Oh probably just going into town to meet some friends" which I meant I would be doing a few hours later after I had gone home.

So off we head into the city and after along day I didn't even notice where we were going but after about 10 mins I realised I hadn't even told him where I lived and wondered how he knew, so I tuned in to the situation and realised the mix up that had occured. I then had to explain to him that I didn't mean i wanted to go into the city but rather I wanted to go home, the guy must have though I was a nutcase driving in the opposite direction of my house before I told him. So eventually I got home with a much larger than anticipated taxi fare.

Another stupid thing I have done occured whilst I was driving, I had just filled up with petrol and was turning a corner of a back street when I realised I hadn't reset the temporary odometre so I put my arm through the steering wheel and pressed the reset button but as I did it the wheel was turning back as I turned the corner and my arm got stuck stopping the car turning half way. I feel so stupid looking back on it as I had to jam on the brake sending the car into a skid other wise it would have mounted the curb and gone into someones house as the car hadn't completely turned the corner and straightened up yet. Also left me with a sore arm for a few days after that.

I usually wake up in the morning after a big night drinking and think to myself, "why in the hell did I do that?"

That's better than waking up and thinking 'What the hell did I do last night'

Stupidest thing would have been last year. Travelled back to country Victoria from WA for an old school friends 21st. Hadn't seen him for approx. 10 years. Anyway it was a great night and we were all pretty drunk. We started drinking at about 5pm and were still going at 6 the next morning. One of his mates had come pretty late and wasn't drunk. Anyway we all agreed it would be a good idea to go hunting for rabbits. So all three of us are walking through paddocks, taking pot shots at just about anything that moves. I hadn't even used a gun for 10 years. How we didn't shoot each other is a bloody miracle. We got back home at about 10. I went to sleep and woke up at about 7 that evening. Worst hangover ever

Recently gave my Lab pup the rest of my Mango magnum I was eating and it swallowed the stick hole.
Didn't know if I should take it to the Vet. Being broke I let Nature do its cource and the next day fould the stick in the garden. Also noticed a lot of other stuff the little bitch has been eating.
Must cleen the yard I think.
