what is the stupiest / 'blondest' thing you've ever done/said?

[GraceAnais]

despite having a certain amount of intellect (i have a degree) i'm notorious among my friends for doing the blondest (no offensive intended) things... just wondered what the rest of you have been up to? anyone give jade goody a run for her money?

I have a lot of mates that say the silliest things. One in particular I remember was when me and my mate had just finished aerobics. She said that she had sweat loads. When I said that�s good because you lose weight when you sweat she said, �great I�ve lost loads on my forehead� !!!
And I was listening on radio the other day about a girl who was in a pub when her mobile rang and she missed the call and couldn�t find out who had rang her, when her mate said call 1471 she said it didn�t work on mobiles but maybe the pub would let her borrow their phone!!

Sticking a knife in the toaster when I was about 12 despite knowing better. nothing was even stuck, just did it to see what would happen. I'm still here to tell the tale, but I wouldn't recommend it. And I'm a brunette :o)

When I was working in my previous job, which involved processing cheques, I hadn't been there that long and I remember not knowing whether the amount on the right of the cheque was a figure 1 or 7 due to bad handwritting and when I asked somebody their opinion, I was told to read the words on the left and was asked when the last time I wrote a cheque was!...I felt so dumb...I just wasn't thinking!!

My husband was fixing my car, and asked me to go to our local motorist discount shop and to buy a Haynes Manuel for my Pergeot. (There's a Haynes Manuel for every car made and it breaks down engine and parts etc)

Well, I forgot the name of the manuel and went into this car shop, full of blokes, and asked for a hyman manuel... I was blonde then, I'm brunette now!!!!

my absolute best "blonde moment" (of which I have many!!) was one day while still at Uni. Went to post a couple of letters and cards and ended up posting my purse along with it! D'Oh!! Had to wait till the postie arrived to empty the box, and explain what I'd done. He was an old guy and looked at me like I was the biggest kind of stupid he'd ever seen. Couldn't give me my purse back (rules, fair enough) so I had to go and scrougne some money, bus it into town and go to the depot to collect my purse. Of course, that meant having to explain yet again, what a stupid thing I'd just done. I'm sure I could hear laughing from the back of the depot as the smiley man handed me my purse!!

Grace - you win my prize for today's best questions! xxx

Oh ok I�ve thought of one I can�t blame on my mates. My older sis lived in a flat next door to me and moved out recently. She still owns the flat and one weekend sent me a message to ask if I could just tidy it up a bit and clean bed sheets etc. because her mate wanted to stay in it. I didn�t mind so I said yes but later on that day she messaged me to say her mate didn�t need flat now. Well I thought as a surprise for my sis I would still give it a good tidy round. So I let myself in with my spare key and started on washing up some old cups that had been left on the side. I noticed she had no washing up liquid so I went back to mine to get some. As I went to go back into hers I pushed the door to find I hadn�t left it on the latch and I�d left the key inside. Doh! Usually this wouldn�t have mattered because although she lives over an hour away she was coming back the next day and has a spare key herself but I could hear the tap running that I had turned on to do the washing up!!! I rang her in tears and eventually she had to ring a locksmith to get the door open before her flat flooded. Needless to say I made sure her flat was spotless although I left the washing up because I�d ran out of hot water :-)

My sister hs got to be the blondest person i know,just couple of her blonde moments(thou i could go on) include my mum asking her to get a lettuce rom the shop for our salad and her coming home with a cabbage!

And I got stuck in a skirt once that I thought was a dress. And was stuck in top shop changing rooms for about an hour but thats another story :-)

You know the nurofen adverts and it says "direct to the source of pain" whilst watching it with my sister with a fasinated look on my face i looked and said -

"But how does it know?"

"Know what?" she relpied.

"How does it know when I take it if I have headache or a toothache?"

If that wasnt bad enough, I didn't understand why she was wetting herself with laughter until she explained...

Then there was the - "Is Somerset in Wales?" (Bear in mind that I live in Wales..)

But my friend was the best bless her, When in school we were talking about palm readers, fortune tellers etc and my teacher said - "I went to see a clairvoiant (spelling??) on the weekened." To which my friend replied, "Ooh my mum went to see her - she said she was very good!"

I really am reasonably intelligent but I found myself asking my boyfriend why baby chimps dont have nappies on in the wild, but they do when being hand reared!! I nearly died laughing when I realised what I said. I think I was thinking aloud!

[trionam]

I had just started work a gym and I was on reception,one of them members asked me who was taking the spinning class at 7pm.I looked at the time table and noticed most of the classes had the instructors name beside it so I looked up and said Will Vary,the guy said excuse me so I said again Will Vary.He cracked up laughing at me!Oh the shame.

[alijangra]

Trionam that made me laugh out loud!! How funny :)

[GraceAnais]

my most embarassing moment was during a double date with an ex, his mate and the mates new g/friend.

it was a few years back when i had a bit of an attitude and was quite judgemental. somehow we got onto the topic of lapdancers and i went on about how i thought it was an awful way to make a living and although i might take home crap wages at least i had some dignity and that my job was respectable etc. i was having a proper rant and completely oblivious to the rest of the table.

5 minutes later the girlfriend went to the toilet and her boyfriend lent over and went 'shut up...she's a bloody lapdancer.' i nearly died.

i spent the rest of the night trying to dig myself out of the biggest ever hole. you could have cut the atmosphere with a knife.

[fizzydrinks2]

trionam - that has got to be the funniest one yet. i'm still giggling :-)

[GraceAnais]

thank you guys for making me laugh out loud! it just goes to show that despite high levels of intelligence we can all do stupid things.

kick - know how you feel bout the postbox incident. my mate posted the belt to my new coat through a letter box for a laugh. i waited three hours at the post box to get it back. how do you explain that one?!

also my mate managed to convince me a porche 911 had that name because it only had a 1.1 litre engine. for weeks i was puzzled as to why my 1.4 couldn't beat one off the lights.

the best one has got to be my father though who spent an hour trying to get into his car. he couldn't understand why it wouldn't work and called the AA to come sort it out. the AA man turns up and then this guy comes running over asking what the hell is going on with his car.... turns out his car was parked round the corner and the reason he couln't get in is cos it wasn't his bloody car.

I asked my aunt (my father's sister) what her maiden name was before she got married!!!!!!!!!!!!

DUH!

[trionam]

I must say I've never really lived that one down,I'm laughing myself now just thinking about.It gave everyone in the gym a good laugh though.

When the football is on the telly me and my friends all have a sweep-stake on the last goalscorer.

During one game I'd collected alll the money and everybody had a player or two each when one of my mates asked if I'd put no goalscorer in. When I replied no he asked 'what shall we do if its nil nil then'

My other friend replied instantly 'if its nill nil we'll pay out on the first goalscorer'

Still lives it down to this day.

[kick3m0n]

guys thanks for all these brilliant stories. I think I've laughed at every one of them. xx
