How silly are you?

[sair5412]

What is the silliest thing you have ever done or said?

I often find myself having extreme blonde moments. For example: Yesterday I went into town with a list of things to buy and a list of jobs to do. As I gained more and more satisfaction from ticking off jobs on my list, I went into Clarkes shoe shop and stood and waited patiently for about 10-15 minutes while a little girl had her feet measured and chose shoes etc. Then, when the assistant was free she turned to me and said "sorry to keep you waiting, how can I help?" It was then, the blonde moment struck like lightening and I said with a smile, "I'd like to have my little boys feet measured please." The blonde moment suddenly lifted and was replaced with utter embarrassment as I realised, my son was being looked after by my mum... Who was not in the shop with me... But at her house... 11 miles away... Probably playing with his toys... Oblivious to the fact his mum is stood in a shoe shop looking a complete idiot.

On the silly things said: (phew, there's a list but here's one) My brand new neighbour struck up conversation with me complaining cats were poo-ing in her garden. I casually said "I know, I saw one before when i was in my bedroom, so I p*ssed out of the window at it." Her face was a picture! I was heavily pregnant at the time and her mind must have conjured all sorts!! I didn't get chance to explain that i meant "pssst" "shoo" whatever!!

Anyone else as daft as me?

(by the way, my motto is... I may be daft, but I'm not stupid.) hmmm

My mum rang me earlier on my landline and the first thing she asked was whether I was am home...go figure??? :)

Remember getting very frustrated trying to buy a train ticket and why the lady kept asking me what I wanted, each time I replied "a return to Leeds please". It suddenly dawned on me I was actually in Leeds..duh!

One of my ex girlfriend once made the observation "These chips taste like potatoes".

Used to work in a betting shop. You call your link shop when you're open for security reasons. One morning I could not get through to my link shop no matter what, constantly engaged. I started to panic as there had been a robbery recently and was getting ready to dash down there. Then my cashier asked what number I was dialling. Turns out I was calling the shop I was in.

While at university my best friend nicknamed me the stupidest clever person she knew!! Can't immediately think of anything very silly. But I do remember sitting in our Uni canteen discussing nice food etc and I prenounced Duck A L'orange as... duck ala orange. My friends burst out laughing and wouldn't tell me what they found so funny!!

I have a friend who is very blonde and although very clever she does have some very funny blonde moments! We were sat watching a rugby match between England and Scotland during a past 5 Nations Championship. She pondered for a moment and then said she was surprised that there was'nt anybody waving the Union Jack flag at the match! This we found very funny and struggled to explain why this might be as we were rolling around on the floor... bless her! Scary thing is she is now a very successful secondary school teacher!!

[ummmm]

Gosh, I have a moment most days. I'm very forgetful. Sometimes I think it would be funny to watch myself on cctv doing the same stuff everyday and never learning from it. Roaming from room to room looking for my car keys/house keys/purse.

The most recent, my washing machine broke down so I'd arranged to go to my uncles to do the washing. He said I may as well stay for dinner, lovely, packed up the washing went round his house and he said 'dinner will be about 10 mins, do you want to put a wash on now'

b0llocks!!!!!!

The usual way I get caught out is through smut...

I have also joined in a conversation with the boys regarding a type of dinner with the line ' my mum does a nice r---t.' Needless to say this is not what they were talking about. They stopped laughing at me half an hour later.

I have also answered a question regarding whether I had ever partook in watersports with the fact that I'd like to learn how to surf, dive and that I'm an excellent swimmer. Apparently watersports has other meanings. Cue another person laughing at me.

I get caught out all the time cause I can be quite dozy and often tune out of conversations. By the time I come back in they've moved on and I end up saying something stupid. This is usually greeted with a comment like 'meanwhile back at the ranch...'

Oh yeah, laughed at my sister the other day cause she phoned me on my mobile and I told her I had a new mobile phone, she asked if my number had changed! I kept taking the mick out of her for it... then promtly found myself in the exact same situation on Sunday and asked the exact same question... must be something in the blood.

[ummmm]

My mate and I went to watch the lads play gaelic football in the park. We couldn't see them anywhere. We were looking around to see if we could see them when she spotted some lads walking towards us. She said 'oh look, is that them.....oh no it can't be, they have a football'

[ummmm]

The day before yesterday my cousin was looking through my msn contacts. He came across one AB'er, under her real name and with a pic and said 'wow, she's hot, who's she'

I said 'errrm, I think thats wonderwoman'

His face was a picture!!!

This morning I was trying to scrape the ice off my car windscreen without much luck. My next door neighbour asked if I'd put my rear heater on and I told him I had. After a few more minutes of trying desperately to scrape it off, I opened the door to check and found I'd put the bl**dy air con on! My neighbour just shook his head. ha ha. My poor son was sat in the back absolutely freezing.

I was once responsible for training 2 new members of staff (both young, fit, males) to use the office database, and said "I'll do you both together" (meaning that I would show them the database at the same time).

I don't know who was more embarrassed - them or me!!!

Hubby and I were watching tv and someone with a very unusual surname came on to which hubby said "oh, that's Phil's surname" to which I replied "Phil who?".

Sair5412 the cat bit was extremley funny, i laughed out loud in the office and everyone looked at me. I always have those moments. Yesterday i went into river island and at the till i gave my oyster card for payment, the assistant pointed it out and for some reason my dizzy mind didn't register and i insisted twice that there was nothin wrong with the card, before finally clicking at the last minute. Doh!

[sophieb]

I have just phoned my sister to tell her the cat one! She had to hang up cos she was laughing so much! A few years back when my daughter was about two i was on a bus and said loudly (and a bit too excitedly!) said ' Look at the big fire engine' only to remember that she wasn't there! I was so embarassed i got off at the next stop!

[devilwoman]

a few years ago when i son was just six, i actually went to pick him up from school, it wasnt untill one of his class mates told me he wasnt at school today, " where is he? then i remembered he was in bed with the chicken pox,

i felt a right divvy

When I first moved to London I had to get the bus home one evening to North London. Unknown to me I got on the wrong bus, the journey home shoud have taken about half an hour. About 2 hours later the bus stopped at the depot in Brixton, South London and the driver asked where I wanted to go. He asked had I not noticed us going over the river and I said 'what river'. Doh The Thames!!

Also I worked at Guys Hospital and was on the 12th floor of Guy's Tower (with a view over THE RIVER.) I had worked there about 2 years when I pointed out opposite and said 'what's that little castle over there' - The Tower of London!!!!!

Having driving lessons years ago stopped at a pedestrian crossing and the instructor asked me what I thought the beeping noise was for. I didn't know so he informed me it was for blind people. I freaked out at him that blind people shouldn't be driving!!!!!
