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
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!"
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.
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.
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.
