The question for this week is-
What is the stupidest thing you have ever done?
Anonymous commenters (I promise not to look up your IP or check you email addy) and embarrassing moments are not only welcomed but ENCOURAGED.
I’ve done a fair few stupid things in my time but here’s one that comes to mind:
When living in Adelaide, I decide 3 in the morning is a good time to do some general cleaning up around the house. Wait this isn’t the stupid part. So there I am with a huge garbage bag of stuff ready to take outside. I am in my pyjamas and walk out of the door to the bin outside. Wait this isn’t the stupid part. So I casually walk back to the house and realise that I’ve shut the door and it’s locked! Wait wait, this isn’t the stupid part. So here I am 3 in the morning living ALONE with no family in the city or anyone who has a spare key, IN MY PYJAMAS and nowhere to go. So I sit there. Wait, not the stupid part. I remember I may have left the bedroom window open so I walk to the back. YES! The window is open but there is a flyscreen there. I climb up the window sill, scratch the screen WITH MY BARE FINGERS and make a hole large enough for me to climb in. SUCCESS!
See the thing is, while sitting on the window sill scratching at the flyscreen I spied a key next to my foot. So I’m casually thinking to myself, “Oh it must be a spare key for the front door. The previous tenants must have done that (how scary is that now I think about it)” And instead of stopping there, grabbing the key and at least TRYING the front door, I just keep ripping up the flyscreen.
NOT THE STUPID PART.
The stupid part is I only realise my gross stupidity when relaying the story to husband TWO YEARS LATER. It finally dawns on me as I run to the windowsill outside, grab the key (which I am stupid enough to LEAVE there for TWO years) and fit it into the lock in the front door. Lo and behold. It fits.
Beat that, readers.

LOLOLOL. Hands down! That’s hilarious as!!!
That was funny.
I don’t quite know what was the stupidest thing I ever did. When I remember, I’ll come back and comment.
LOL…that is too funny! I know exactly of something and I can’t live it down. Shaz brings it up constantly!! We were bowling….when the pin setter failed to cycle…I thought it would be good to give it another shot, so I bowled another ball….welllll at the same time somebody pressed the reset button, and my bowling ball hit the pin setter HARD!!! The bowling alley people came and gave us a talking too, and everybody was glaring at me!
That’s the BEST story. Hubby and I laughed till we cried. I bet no one can beat that story. And I hope they don’t cause I don’t think our bladders could take it….heheheheheehh
