luvmykids replied: Once I stopped to check the mail and hopped out and locked the doors to the car, with the kids in it, motor running. Cell phone, in the car too. Couldn't walk anywhere to call for help since the kids were locked in the car and had to sit there in the freezing cold until DH came home

Went to the zoo---walked from the car to the front gate of the zoo ---long walk! Forgot my zoo pass in my car ..walked back got the pass. Spent way too long at the zoo, kids were cranky, time to go. I had lost my keys (big zoo). Went to lost and found, not there, walked all over the zoo looking for my keys....nothing. Called DH (we live about 30 minutes away), he said he'd come BUT we had no spare. DH went to the dealership, 50.00 for new keys (darn those microchip keys). Meanwhile I kept looking for my keys...walked until my feet ached.

DH came, took me to my car to unlock it with my brand new key... no need, there were my keys, sitting in the seat of my unlocked car.

TheOaf66 replied:
ok she had her chance

Where we live, the stop lights downtown "beep" when the light is going to change. So we are sitting at a light one day and she says "what is that beeping"? and I said it was for the blind people...and she says "well that is not safe" I said why not and she went on to say


WHY ARE BLIND PEOPLE DRIVING

I just looked at her and said you can't be serious...I then went on to explain it is so they know when to cross the street.

PrairieMom replied:

that IS right up my alley.

OMG ROFL

Laughing WITH you Jennie

Boo&BugsMom replied:
Sure you are.

That's ok, yuck it up you guys. In my defense, I think I was pregnant with Aiden wasn't I? That would give me an excuse at least...that pregnancy dumbness.

Hillbilly Housewife replied: Hmm.

I hadn't realized that Dukes of Hazzard and Dougie Howser were different things.

Teesa®© replied: Well, the stupid things I've done are more mistakes - like going out with my ex and getting horrible abused for years.

The funny-stupid things I've done are just par for the course for me. Some people like extra cream in their coffee, some have to sleep on their right sides, I'm... well, just plain weird.

I've walked around a grocery store humming the theme to Bob he Builder in my head and realized I couldn't remember the words, and proceeded to sing it out loud. My children were at home with DH.

I've stood on a corner waiting for the light to change and yelled, "Look!! A boo boo bus!!", looked at the other people waiting with me and said, "What??" My children were at home with DH that time, too.

In the first year of being together with DH, we got into a discussion about him not being very romantic. He decided to prove it to me and kicked me out of the ap't. We lived in a very small basement ap't and he didn't want me to see what he was doing. He told me to stay away for a couple of hours - it was 1.00am. Well, there just is not ANYTHING to do here at 1am, so I just wandered up and down streets. It had snowed nicely, so near to 3.am, I was on a main street that has really wide sidewalks and I was hopping, jumping and walking backwards to make really strange footprints. My intention was to totally mess up the next person walking the street

Well, I noticed a car driving by a couple times, and rather slowly. Having been a street kid, I'm very street-wise and my radar went up BIG time. I'm walking North, and the car is going South when it crosses the lanes and stops beside me. The guy tells me to get into his car. I promptly told him to f-off. He orders me in the car. I ordered him to f-off. He tells me to come closer and I asked him if I really looked that freaking stupid?!?!?! He says, "Well, yeah, I've been watching you walk for the past 15 minutes." Ok, bud, you got me there!!

After him and I arguing for about 10 minutes on whether or not I was getting in the car, THEN he decides to tell me he's a cop. I said, "WhatEVER. Show me your badge!" He was in an unmarked car, no uniform, not even a cap. I told him to explain himself. [yeah, I'm pretty ballsy at times!!! ] He told me he'd gotten off shift and saw me walking. He thought I was totally stoned and was worried I'd get hit. I was MAD! I have never done drugs and never intend to and when people assume I'm on drugs, well, I get IRATE! When I do things like above, there's no excuse, and I don't need one, it's just ME, not some outside influence. It's like my genetic make-up. I have to be weird. I'm the one who does the things that no one else has the balls to do, even though they want to. It's not an attention thing, most times I'm alone

ANYwho, so he proved he was a cop. He asked what I was doing and I explained it to him. He laughed. He went to take to me Timmy's for a coffee, but they closed at 3am to make their donuts [goes to show you how long ago this was, Timmy's doesn't even MAKE their own donuts anymore]. We drove REAL slow to my place. I was only a block from my place. We get there, I unlock the door and the cop and I walk in and I yell to DH, "HONEY!!! I brought a friend for some extra excitement!! He's a cop so he's even got handcuffs!!" DH walks out and is all huh? what? and the cop's jaw dropped and he's got this REALLY weird look on his face........ So I tell him I'm just kidding and I tell DH that his idea of being romantic SUCKS because I got picked up by a cop because of him and . The cop is laughing, DH is sputtering.... LOL

The cop left and Dh and I did have our little romantic evening/morning, but it was the last time he ever tried to be romantic again LOL

OK, maybe not anything dumb I've done, but I guess some parts were. Who, in their right mind, argues with a COP??? lol
