Stupid things you do on a regular basis

[Steph]

I never get dressed immediately after I shower. I lounge around, clean, nap, etc. au naturel.

For some reason, I usually cook nude, too.

The oil was sizzling, the onions were thrown in . . . why do I endanger my breasts like that? :confused:

I know I'll be doing it again the next time I make a stir fry, tho'.


What stupid things do you do over and over putting you in contention for a Dawin award?

[PantyFanatic]

I talk to Steph.:dizzy:

I keep coming back here to work. :D

[WildIrish]

moi? Do something stupid? How DARE you insinuate such a thing!


My cookware can go from stovetop to oven, and I love that it can. The only bad part is that when I take it out of the oven...the only real place to put it is on a burner. Well...when I am ready to serve, my eyes see a saute pan on the burner and my hand grabs the handle faster than my mind remembers that it just came out of the oven. HOLY CRAP is that not pleasant!

Once in awhile, I'm smart enough to think to myself "I'm gonna burn my hand" and stick an oven mitt over the handle. The rest of the time...well, it keeps me from pleasuring myself! :(

NOT gonna admit to my stupidity!!

Nope.... top secret! :D

[IAKaraokeGirl]

My desk here at work *and* the one at home regularly have a habit of jumping out in front of me. I'm constantly going around with a bruise or two on my upper thigh. :rolleyes:

[flutelady]

I know better, but I never carry cash. My friends keep yelling at me because I'm never prepared that way. Recently I took a 5 day trip with only $5 in my pocket, and that's because a family member gave it to me when I was on my way out of the door. The worst part is that I always forget to post my ATM transactions.

I also never have a tissue. I have allergies and I'm a crybaby, but I never carry a tissue.... duh me.

[denny]

Saying dumb things which produce doubt in my audience. I have sensitivity but no sense.

[BIBI]

coming here....lmao

[flutelady]

Being overly negative...

[CunningLinguist]

Survival Tip: Never cook bacon while naked. It could burn your weiner!

I don't do any one thing stupid every day. I jsut do different stupid things everyday.

[dreamgurl]

i have this strange habit of being very clumsy. when i go down steps i have to look at my feet or else i'm on my butt at the bottom of the stairs. i've done it so many times now my friends and family just walk away like they don't know me.

[imaginewithme]

Trust in people to easily.

[BigBear57]

I still hold to images of romance and happily ever after in my heart. How silly is that?

[wyndhy]

not a painful stupid thing the most stupid thing i do on a MORE than regular basis is f-up right and left. it's so stupid cause i'm pretty sure i can tell them apart. if you hold up your hands with the palms out, the hand with the thiumb that points to the other hand is right, right? :D

[Steph]

I can't say 'no' to a date properly. I hem and haw and make it painful for the guy. A new resolution is to just say no!

[Belial]

*Imagines Steph singing "I'm just a girl who can't say no....." like in Oklahoma!* :D


The stupid thing I do is forget important times and dates, and forget to write them down. If I do remember, it's always on a loose scrap of paper. I *will* do a database thingy on the computer, and I *will* use it!

[LixyChick]

I make myself (nearly) late for work every morning because I can't get off this site! LOL! I run around like a chicken with no head when I realize I've done it again...every stinkin work day!

[mayhem1978]

LOL im with LixyChick on that one....

Also im far too trusting in ppl and can never say no when asked to do sommat

[mayhem1978]

Oh yeah and i keep going outside to my car on a gravel drive with no shoes or socks on. Ow ow ow ow

Ditto! I even get PMs sometimes that ask "Shouldn't you be at work?" :D

[denny]

Ignore things that need the most attention.

[dreamgurl]

i love to drink hot tea, but i have this habbit of taking the spoon right out of the boiling hot water and put it right in my mouth, looks like i would learn don't it?

Yah, yah, keep your enemies closer. I just prefer to think you send them cuz you care. :D





Blech!


I also tend to shoot my mouth off at work to management on behalf of my coworkers and me. It's worked OK so far. <knock on wood>

[scotzoidman]

Getting up every day & expecting that things might go better today...

[cowgirltease]

Keep hittin the snooze button (when I finally hear the dang thing) on my alarm when I'm on day shift. Then I'm late and have to drive 85 and 90 mph to get to work on time.:rolleyes: :o
Thank god my blazer has wings.:D

I don't think I've ever considered a jerk-off session stupid! Explain, please! :D

[Ranger1930]

eh? well.. i don't really consider walking around nude after a shower to be stupid either.. =P

[mcjim623]

I have been know to get drunk, and send pictures to friends email that probably shouldn't have been sent without a little warning.

For some reason, I just naturally believe that everyone wants to see my dick.

Beer, proper lubricant that it is, justs makes these facts crystal clear...

LOL wyndhy ..... I remember hearing on, of all things, Hollywood Squares ..... years and years ago .... that 1 in 5 females have problems (dyslexia) with right/left .... I remember it because I'm one of them .... people can tell me to turn North, South, etc. and I know instinctively which way that is, but right and left, I have to actually do a writing motion with my hand to know which is right or left, and that only stays will me for a minute or two ... if I'm consciously working to remember it. YOU ARE NOT ALONE! :)

I've seen the treatment for that fzzy and wyndhy.:)

In the early phases of Basic Training there is always a couple of “cruits” that have that problem when first learning to march. Our Drill Sgt. would spot a “SHIT-BIRD” that turned left when he should have turned right. If he was dumb enough to say he “got left and right mixed-up”, he was given a bucket of sand (est. 30-40#) to march with. After carrying that around for a day, they seemed to remember “RIGHT FACE” was toward the hand at the end of the longer arm. LOL (it worked for them ;) )

I ONLY care that you get your lazy butt to work because I don't have time to come up there and feed Solon when they fire your evil ass.:mad:

[Steph]

LOL The first crossborder dognapping?

I also do the writing motion for left and right. I thought it was because I'm left handed and my brain stalls for tasks like that. :)

[Ranger1930]

I've never really hand an issue with figuring out which way is left or right...

i write left handed.. but everything else is right handed...

yea i know strange enough..


Now.. its just the up and down i gotta worry about..


But get this... my left hand.. does it very well... :D

[PantyFanatic]

:)

[Ranger1930]

*giggles*

[fzzy]

I know you guys all think that there is an easy solution to the right/left thing ... I've spent 40+ years trying any number of gimmicks to remember ... but it is truly a mild form of dyslexia and isn't really curable ... my dyslexia shows up at other times, mainly when I'm very tired ... red and green get mixed up in my head - doesn't sound like a big issue, but when you drive where there are street lights, IT IS! :) ... also some numbers get switched in my head ... 4's for 7's (or vice versa) is my most common one.

OK, I know, that was WAY too much information! LOL

[musicman]

work

[darogle]

I always run right on time. I allow myself just enough time to get somewhere. Apparently, I just can't be early. I'm rarely late, but it gets to be nerve racking to make it in the nick of time.

BTW...I also have to remind myself about right and left quite a bit. I can only wink my left eye, so whenever I have to give directions ect, who ever I'm talking to probably thinks I'm winking at them or that I have some sort of nervous tic. LOL

PF...I love the sign!! LMAO

[wyndhy]

hey! i resemble that remark! :p

[LarryL]

When writing, posting, messaging, talking, etc., I say too much. I feel--whether true of false--I feel like I constantly blert something out that I wish I could take back two seconds after hitting "submit reply." Case in point, in the thread "Please help me with an avatar," I submitted one too many posts, got all weird again. Perhaps a more relevent example is this post, one I probably ought not submit.

My only defense is that I'm addicted to Pixies. Truth. My wife has been out of town all this week and will be next week also, and I have spent maybe 80% of the time clacking away on this keyboard.

[fzzy]

LarryL - just so you know, you can edit any post you do for up to 2 hours (I think that's the time limit) - and once you hit the edit key - it includes the option of delete. ..... however, I don't think I've seen anything you've written that was over the top, so just keep enjoying the feel of the stroking the keys. :)

[rabbit]

Failing to listen more and talk less.

[osuche]

1. Believe in the inherent goodness of all people

2. Believe others see the world as I do.

[Grumble]

I am too romantic and too trusting. Still it does have rewards as well as pitfalls.

[thedog]

I love to cook but have this nasty habit of using the smoke detector as a cooking timer.

[Steph]

LOLOLOL! I have cleaned the oven in this place 5467 times and the alarm still goes off.

[scotzoidman]

Just wanted to let everybody know, when you catch yourself doing these stupid things, you can dispel any bad karma you've just incurred by repeating this mantra, like I do...but you have to say it out loud & repeat it several times...ready? Say it out loud now...

AWA

TAJIR

KHIYAM


Keep repeating it, you'll feel better, trust me...

[Steph]

LOL Took me a second to catch it!

[jay-t]

Some mistakes are just to much fun so why only make them once?

[mayhem1978]

OK just made a mistake i keep doing. took the garbage out to the road with no shoes or socks on. And surprise surprise trod in sommat smelly

I keep saying i wont do that again but next week i will

[celticangel]

I keep falling for bikers~~~~~~~time and time again!

Again, being too lazy to take my rubber gloves off and put oven mitts on to take a boiling pot off the stove. Man, that's lazy.

[Lilith]

Rubber gloves??????? You delivering babies in the kitchen again?

[IowaMan]

I am too romantic and too trusting. Still it does have rewards as well as pitfalls.
I've got pretty much the same affliction. Seems as if I'm the classic "nice guy" who finishes last when it comes to relationships but I wouldn't ever consider changing myself. When it comes to my relationships, I'm sort of like Charlie Brown trying to kick that football. I've even considered wearing a yellow shirt with a black zig zag on it for first dates just so I can be better prepared.

[imaginewithme]

Get too emotionally attached to people I love.

[BIBI]

smoke :rolleyes:

[osuche]

Not say what I am really thinking

[BIBI]

sometimes saying too much as to what I am thinking

[osuche]

Yes, there is certainly a "sweet spot" when it comes to communication ---- and its amount changes for each individual

[Steph]

Rubber gloves??????? You delivering babies in the kitchen again?

ROFL I can't stand hot water so I wear gloves doing the dishes.

Would delivering babies in the kitchen be a lucrative thing?

[Lilith]

Midwifery/caterer....I have not tried that yet.


If the water is not scalding me then it's chilly.

[Steph]

WTF is it with mods & body temps? - Sharni is freezing in 15 degree C weather, you like scalding water. I feel like my hands are skeletons when I dip them in hot water.

Hmm, posting things like this can also be stupid things I do on a regular basis.

[PantyFanatic]

.....Hmm, posting things like this can also be stupid things I do on a regular basis.
Me reading your posts IS a stupid thing I do on a regular basis. :rolleyes:

[Steph]

Pfft, you love them!




Right now I'm feeling quite good & doubt the existence of a stupid thing I've ever done.

[PantyFanatic]

It’s the stupid thing that happened when your folks were feeling quite good that bothers me.

[Steph]

Mankind doesn't keep records for conceptions as far back as yours so we're not sure how you were born. I picture an egg left in the desert sun for some reason.

It’s the stupid thing that happened when your folks were feeling quite good that bothers me.

[LarryL]

Although I know otherwise and fully realize how unwise it is to expect even a small portion of the joy that once was, still the stupidest thing I do on a regular basis is get the hell up every morning and walk into another dismal day.

Ya, I'm very depressed now guys. At the risk if being branded resident Pixies nut case (although that label has no doubt already been applied), I shouldn't but will share that things in my life have gone downhill since my stupid *said with a snide and mocking tone* "Thank You I'll Stay" post.
Have any of you ever found youself regretting a life path you ought to have taken thirty years ago? I hope to shit you never do. It sucks. A direction I ought to have taken thirty years ago, that is, being gay and living with a transexual, has climbed up out it's burial I gave it in the darkest hole I could find within my pathetic self thirty years ago. Some monsters never die; they just get very angry at having been buried alive.

Why am I saying this here? Don't I have friends to talk to? My one friend is someone I met here a month or two ago. No, I have isolated myself away in the woods and in a normal life hoping my deamons couldn't find me.

You all have been so kind and helpful in the past. Please, if it is not asking too much--although I think it is--could someone please write something to me? I am so confused, and daily asking myself if this is the nervous breakdown I always suspected was less than a week away. Much to my dismay, it seems that being nearly 53 has nothing to do with thinking clearly, or with just wanting to be a little boy crying in the corner. I hate myself for being this way, but it is what is.

Am I glad I hung around Pixies? Yes. Thank you in advance. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

SHUT UP LARRY!

[Steph]

Larry, you know you shouldn't shut up. We're a supportive bunch & perhaps you should post a thread asking for advice? (Just a thought)

[Lilith]

I agree with Steph......right now do you have any idea how much some of us need to feel supportive of someone?

stupid things I do??? pffffft too many to count

[LarryL]

I agree with Steph......right now do you have any idea how much some of us need to feel supportive of someone?
stupid things I do??? pffffft too many to count

I hereby open the Let's All Support Larry club. You can kick youself in the but later for having supported a fool that just crashed and burned his whole damn life away.

I'm sorry. That was bad to say. You are so sweet. I believe I know I need to leave my marriage and live the life I should have been living all along, but I don't think I am able to do that. Options: 1) drug myself until I die, 2) kill myself now. You and Stef are right. I will post a request for advice.

I'm not sure I understand what you mean by "...do you have any idea how much some of us need to feel supportive of someone?" Do you mean that some of us (you) need to feel supportive of someone else or need to feel support from someone else?

I love you sooooo much, and I am so happy that you care about me.

[Lilith]

check your PMs please

[Steph]

She means she's uber helpful, Larry :D

Your life hasn't been burned away. It might be now that you're brave enough to face the truth.

[Lilith]

She means she's uber helpful, Larry :D


some days......

[BlondeCurlGirl]

I keep letting him come back for another chance...and just end up getting my heart broken. :(

[fzzy]

(((((((LarryL))))))) I think that living to a certain age seems to bring with it regrets from choices made years before ..... some big and some seemingly irrelevant to anyone but ourself. Sounds like a pretty big regret you have to deal with .... but there must also be many things that you have done in the last 30 years that have brought you to be the outstanding, caring, giving, empathetic man that you are and may not have become without the situation. The past will always have regrets and missed opportunities attached to it, but there is aways today and tomorrow and all the tomorrows to come where you can start the process of moving to a different place in your life, either to approach the existing situation differently or come to a decision to change the path that you have been on ... either way, it seems obvious to me that you will not do so on a whim, but rather with well reasoned thoughtfulness and do the best you can to keep the damage minimal in your life and the lives of those who are close. Feel free to PM me if you need to unload. :)

[WildIrish]

I wait until the warning light goes on before I get gas for the car. :rolleyes:


Ok, so it's not earth shattering, but if I start down the road of important things I have done that are stupid...well, it's a long road and I didn't get enough rest last night to start walking down it.

[imaginewithme]

Although I know otherwise and fully realize how unwise it is to expect even a small portion of the joy that once was, still the stupidest thing I do on a regular basis is get the hell up every morning and walk into another dismal day.!

The stupid things I do is let someone I care about say something like that and not yell at them for thinking that way!!!!!

Every day you open your eyes is a gift...sometimes it is hard to realize this and at times we are hurt and confused...but YOU are around for a reason! It's either to bring someone joy (which you have to me) or to be someones love. You have family that loves you!

I hope you soon can be happy again. If I never ask for anything else....that would be it!

[Steph]

I wait until the warning light goes on before I get gas for the car. :rolleyes:

I've been known to drive in neutral for a while until I can get to a gas station. :D My excuse is that there aren't any gas stations close by since more than 80% of the 'hood is carless.

Hurt myself, I have been super accident prone recently. Very unlike me normally, but I look like I have been beaten with all the cuts and bruises on me right now!

[PantyFanatic]

Putting liquor in the freezer and forgetting about it. Is there a pattern here? :rolleyes: LMAO

[Steph]

Vodka and the like isn't so bad. I know quite a few people who keep vodka or rum in the freezer full time. Beer freezes and sometimes it's just a slushy foam for a long time.
