What's the Stupidest thing you've done recently?
 

I unplugged my sump pump a couple days before we got 4 inches of rain.....

I think I was using the grinder, and forgot to put it back like it was.....

So, I came home to 6 inches of water in my basement. how do I get 6 inches if it only rained 4?

Your neighbor's sump pump was running.

There is a creek near our garbage cans. There was some trash that had blown into the creek so I went in to get it.

Let's just say..no good deed will go unpunished. :)

Loose yer shoes did ya ??

hehe no just muddied them up with frog and duck poop/mud.Anyway that's what the early spring mud thaw felt like. I was sinking. I didn't fall in though.:) That was a plus.whew

I had to laugh.

I put on platform sandals for the first time since last summer, before stepping out on this lovely spring day...and proceeded to walk at least 25 blocks.

Ow, ow, ow...

Well, as the day wore on (and on, and on) yesterday, it quickly became apparent that the stupidest thing I did was get out of bed. Srsly.:mad2:



A friend did the stupidest thing a few weeks ago. I was at her house, we were watching a dvd. She had a flashlight in her hand from searching under the couch for the -ahem- "smoking accesory". At this point there was very dark scene in the flick, and I commented that something was about to 'get' the girl in the scene, my friend said "What is it", to which I replied, "I can't tell, it's too dark".

She pointed the (still on) flashlight at the tv. She knew she did a stupid thing, and tried to cover it up, but, the damage was done.:sweat:

Built homemade ramps to load my lawn tractor on the F-250. Extremely bad idea. No broken bones, but I went straight to town the next morning and purchased a set.........

Three minutes ago I made a pot of coffee. I forgot the actual coffee. I made a pot of hot water.

I just wasted SO much energy. ;)

I did that last week and when I poured the hot water back into the coffee maker, it made the coffee in like 30 seconds.

I didn't think of that! See how much energy I wasted? I poured cold water back into a too hot coffee maker and am lucky I didn't scald my face off!

Well, thank god you're not in charge of student loans or anything like that. :bolt:

So I'm getting close to the end of my Twin Peaks obsession. 20 years after it was on TV, I am now almost through the 2nd and last season.

BUT...I remembered putting disc 4 into the mail, and I had one more ep on disc 5, so it's still at home. However, I didn't have disc 6 next in my netflix queue. I'll have to wait until next weekend to see the end of the series.

I will get to see W. I wonder if it's any good?

I got bogged down in season three of the sopranos and ended up reading the synopsis on wikipedia.

I would consider watching the last bit of twin peaks or Northern Exposure if it were available streaming on netflix.

Put off doing homework until an hour before it was due. I knew I needed more time to figure this project out, I had to miss a class this week so I have no real clue whats going on. I just turned in a program that will not compile. Fuck.

Somehow when playing with my watch I set the date forward TWO days!

This morning I thought I had missed two payments due on the 14th, had not put the birthday card through Mum's friend's door on the 13th and missed a hair appointment.

Realising it was still the 12th after I logged on here should have been pure relief, but my nerve endings have been set to jangle and won't stay quiet. Sigh.

Let's see - recently? A carnie.....yep.

Carnie? Carnival worker? :confused:

Exactly Bruce. Two days I knew him and he was already talking about meeting my parents. When I mentioned how I want to go to Bora Bora - he was going to take me.

Danger! Danger! :eyebrow:

Tell me about it. But he is already out of town and will be gone for seven months. Plenty of time for me to burst the bubble.

You're smarter than the average bear. ;)

Sometimes. ;)

Woke up from a horrible nightmare and then quickly wanted to go back to it when I realized I am to blame! I voted for the anti-Christ! (okay, technically I didn't vote for Obama recently, but I am paying for it now!)

Read Yznhymr's post when i know they're an idiot.

That would be me!

Dyed my hair.
It's not good.
Working up to posting an RFN pic :(

Hey, didja know that even though parchment paper can go in the oven, it can't go under the broiler?

Well I do now.

ohhhh shit!

It's okay, I smelled it before anything got out of hand. But my kitchen still smells like charred paper.

i LIKE that smell

I've done worse clod

At least you can express remorse about it -- unlike one who shall remain nameless because I've taken a real dislike to him. :mad2: Took years of effort on his part too.

C'mon, peeps, no politicking outside the politics forum. And maybe current events.
:grouphug:

Stay up so late on thurs? Anyone want a glass.

Stupidest thing? I assumed that the published deadline was the deadline again...

Here's a Tip for ya ,
When Building a Bathroom from the studs out ,
Keep up With what water line is What .
It's Much Easyer that way .

Oh you didn't. :smack:

Wait a minute. That's like face palm PLUS.

Oh craaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaap.

Yes I did Bruce,

Thinking I could trust my mother.

Turns out that the bitch that waits and uses personal information to hurt you isn't in fact gone. It lies just beneath the surface, and a pissy enough mood is enough to rouse it.

Silly me.

No worries, just swap them in the basement.

No basement , our House is on a slab , so I had to take down a few pieces of Wainscoting, swap a few water lines around ,

Thinking I could trust my mother.

Well at least she didnt Empty your Checking account ,
not tell you about it ,
Almost get you thrown in Jail for Check fraud ,
Then Borrow money from a Mutual friend saying that You would Pay them back ,
Then when you send Pay Checks home to settle the debt Spend those and never pay said EX Friend a Penny .

It Could be worse SG !!!!

So, Zip, what actually happened with the pipes?
Did you just mix up the hot and cold inflow? That would be easy to deal with, remark the taps. Or did you put the SEWER - OUT into the SHOWER - IN? eeeiiiuuuww.

Had hot water going to the potty.

haha, not a disaster, but inefficient.

Tanx Jinx.

Ouch, well at least you didn't have to pull tile...
