What's the stupidest mistake you've made lately?

[(Anonymous)]

I managed to clog our plumbing system with overcooked pasta, necessitating calling a plumber. What's the stupidest thing you've done recently?

Re: What's the stupidest mistake you've made lately?

[forgottenjester]

Did you put pasta down your sink or the toilet? I'm sorry. I have to ask.

And stupidest thing this week... I didn't check to make sure a large metal door was secured so it swung back and smacked me right in the face in front of students I was teaching. I had a headache the rest of the day and the next. Fun times.

Toilet. I thought it would be okay. It was overcooked to the point of being sludge, and my family has a big issue with food being wasted. So I was trying to hide it. Stupid. I know.

Oh man that sucks. :(

Re: What's the stupidest mistake you've made lately?

[forgottenjester]

It's not stupid. You made a mistake due to fear of other's reactions. That is understandable and now you know better. I'm sorry you had to go through that though.

You don't have a garbage disposal?

Anon, I hope your head is OK. {gentle hugs}

Re: What's the stupidest mistake you've made lately?

[forgottenjester]

Thanks. My head is good now.

Decided to go on a walk when it was triple digits out. I WAS A FOOL! It didn't feel that bad at first. But 20 minutes in I felt like I was going to die.

lol I tried going for a run when it was 97 degrees out. I lasted maybe 5 minutes. It remains the only time I have even taken off my top in public (I still had a sports bra on underneath).

Re: What's the stupidest mistake you've made lately?

[kaijinscendre]

Yeah, I'd have actually died if I had run!

I'm kind of glad it is raining right now if only because my dad is supposed to be walking every day to heal from his back surgery, and I'm supposed to walk with him if he does it outside. But since the storm is here, he is just doing it in the hallway. I really don't want to walk outside. It has been over 100 here for a while.

Re: What's the stupidest mistake you've made lately?

[syncing_feeling]

I feel you. I swear I have the worst tolerance for heat. I love the sunshine/summer but the heat just makes me cranky and stops me sleeping. Ugh.

Re: What's the stupidest mistake you've made lately?

I killed a fly by slamming it between my Kindle and its cover. On the other hand the Kindle survived and the fly didn't, so it worked out in the end.

I was folding laundry the other day - a load that was mostly bedding - and I realized that while I had a top sheet, I had no bottom sheet. I have 2 sets of sheets and always wash both pieces of each set together while the other set is on the bed. There's no reason I would have no put the bottom sheet in with the top sheet. I checked the dryer and washer - not in there. I checked the linen closet, just in case, but there were no sheets in there, of course. I checked the closet where I keep the laundry basket on the off-chance the sheet got stuck in a corner, but no luck. I was stumped. Where the hell did a big, white, queen-sized fitted sheet go? Losing a sock is one thing, but there's no way a piece of fabric that big could just get lost in my apartment. I was starting to wonder if the people in the other unit stole it out of my dryer (totally not something I can imagine them doing, but what else could have happened?) when it occurred to me to check under the fitted sheet currently on the bed.

Yep, there was the missing sheet. When I was stripping and changing the bed, I forgot to take the fitted sheet off and I just put the clean sheet on the bed on top of it without noticing that I hadn't stripped things down to the mattress pad.

Oh anon, this made me laugh. Thank-you!

Re: What's the stupidest mistake you've made lately?

[forgottenjester]

I'm glad you at least found it.

Re: What's the stupidest mistake you've made lately?

Everything in life.

NAYRT.

[(Anonymous)]

That's funny. I didn't write this yet it describes me to a T.

Re: What's the stupidest mistake you've made lately?

[syncing_feeling]

Definitely not the stupidest I've made, but I drunkenly spent at least 5 minutes last night caressing the bathroom wall to find the light switch, before remembering we have a pull cord. It's weird how being drunk can make you forget the layout of your own fucking house.

Re: What's the stupidest mistake you've made lately?

[rosehiptea]

I could do that sober.

Re: What's the stupidest mistake you've made lately?

[syncing_feeling]

You mean I can't employ you to guide me around my place and remind me where I keep the milkshake mix? I pay well, you know!

Argued with my boss about cash handling procedure after I fucked up, and now she apparently thinks I hate her and am trying to undermine her authority. I don't and I'm not but I flip out when I run into a problem I can't fix, and reassurance is a lot less reassuring than knowing how to stop it happening again. And now I'm on her shit list and she likes to fire people.

Re: What's the stupidest mistake you've made lately?

[(Anonymous)]

Ouch. Yeah, if the mistake was yours, it's really best not to pick a fight about procedure because it might look like you're trying to shift blame and responsibility for your mistake. And it's rarely a good idea to pick a fight with the boss.

Re: What's the stupidest mistake you've made lately?

[(Anonymous)]

No, I didn't argue about it being my mistake, I argued that she shouldn't take money out of her own pocket and start figuring out a more "reasonable" amount to go missing. Nothing went missing, another employee rang up an overage by mistake and I fucked up trying to void it out.
