Today I accidentally was dressing in front of the window wiper. I forgot to close the blinds on my window so he could see me. That was embarrasing. And to make matters worse I allmost did a jig au natural until I heard the sound of the squihey brush cleaning my window and so I legged it out of there. If you ask how that happened I was in a bit of a rush out of the shower cuase it was late in the day and I didn't see the window wiper when I first entered the room. I was First and last time that happened.
All hail his Purple Majesty!!!

This is somebody else's screwup but concerning my family: Our car had been making a strange clanking noise while driving, and my mother even thought it might be broken. Well, today my brother finally checked beneath the car and somewhere in there was a pair of pliers. It's a mystery to me how they stayed in there without falling, but they are from a repair shop.

About three years ago, just before a school parents evening, my lab partner and I were conducting an experiment that produced a thick brown gas as a product (can't remember what). But my cloth-eared lab partner thought the teacher had said kilograms, not grams, resulting in 2kg of material forming enough gas to fill the laboratory floor (the labs are upstairs and the other classrooms are on the ground floor). All the parents had to crowd into the hall for the smoke. Really funny.

Okay I don't think this one is funny but I'll let you be the judges
Last Sunday, I was going to work. I work for Handi Transit, driving a bus for people with Disabilities. When I go to work, I drive to the office and park my truck, then I get into the car of who ever I switch with which on this day, was my boss. I was driving his 1993 Thunderbird LX. From here I don't remember what really happend, but some how I must have ran a red light. 2 cars hit me on the drivers side, slamming me into a lamp post. The thing that is strange is I don't remember, and I've never ran a red light before or a stop sign for that matter, I'm a very cautious driver. Any ways. My boss seen his car yeterday for the first time since the accident, it is a write off. He has told me that the Drivers side door was crushed into the drivers side seat, which now was more in the middle of the car, the steering wheel was twisted and angleing to the Passenger side. The car hit the lamp post on the passenger side rear fender. The trunk was crushed, My boss had kept some oil and antifreez jugs in his trunk, and they had been crushed ,and spilled all over. I don't remember the accident, I remember driving along, checking my speed (50 kmh) and looking up and feeling shocked, then I remember standing out side the car saying my version of the lords prayer ..."Oh my God, Oh my God, My bosses car........Oh my God" When I had to grab the Insurance papers I called my boss to tell him what had happend, He told me the papers were.........in the trunk.
I feel real bad about his car, and he just jokes about it. I still have a job and he still treats me the same as before, My boss has a heart of gold, and I'm glad I work for him. But he just keeps telling me that He's happy I'm alive. He's convinced I have a guardian angle......I don't know, but if I do, perhaps they could help me pick out the winning numbers for the lottery.

I went to a private doctor today.. You probably know how much papers they stuff into your hands.. Anyway, half of the papers went to the receptionist so that I could pay the bill but I still had a couple of sheets with me when I went to a burger joint. I put them under my tray so that I wouldn't mess them. When I left I felt that I had forgotten something, but didn't stop to worry about it. Then when I get home I noticed the papers weren't with me. The other one had my full name and social security number on it. And even worse.. it wasn't an ordinary doctor but a gynecologist... The paper had ey full status report of my.. private parts.
I called the burger place but no one had seen the papers so I don't know if somebody took them.
Edit: They called me next morning that the papers had been found. I quickly went to get them, I don't think any harm did occur.

I must be turning into a real Mr Bean... Today I managed to lock myself out. It ain't funny! I had to carry a lot of things in the kitchen and of course I forgot to pick up the key. On the way back I suddenly remembered... First tried kicking the door and cursing it, but when that didn't work I knocked on the nearest door and asked my classmate to search the info paper that has the phone number of the lady who has access to the keys... I had to borrow my classmate's cellphone too because mine was also locked in with the keys. Luckily the key lady was still on campus and I didn't have to pay for getting the door opened but it still was damn embarassing. I guess it happens to everybody at least once.

I just dropped my car key down a parking lot drain the other day, trying to get it out of my pocket, it fell two feet and was getting wet ( remember this is a $70 key with a $50 remote attached to it ) I tried for awhile , then finally had to call the police, the first officer arrived in about twenty minutes, she couldnt get it either. she called another police officer to get some coat hangers and we finnally got it. talk about calling the police over something stupid. everyone I knew was either at work or I dont have their number.

This ain't so funny but anyway, when I was walking home from the store with a huge load of groceries in my backpack (6230 grams I counted by the receipt), I kept hearing this slight zrp-zrp noise but I figured since the straps didn't seem to be falling apart at the seams, it has to be only a plastic macaroni bag rustling inside. When I had walked about 2/3 of the journey, a guy from our school (a total nerd who has tried to be nice to me and once even invitated me to try out his dance mat after midnight, but I simply find him irritating) came towards me, we said hi and when he was about to pass me something suddenly fall from my backpack (- a box of pantyliners). Luckily I was able to pick it up before he had the chance to be helpful (I saw him reach out for it). When I glanced over my shoulder I noticed my backpack had in fact opened by itself, since it has two zippers reaching almost all the way to the bottom and if you pull them both up so that they meet up in the center, apparently the weight of the stuff inside will eventually make them unzip.
There was a chance of a bigger disaster but I was able to put the pack down (almost) before other stuff had a chance to start falling out, and the guy decided to keep on walking (it would have been awkward to have him helping since I really can't stand him).
I also happened to be talking to my bf on my cellphone, so it must have been quite strange for him to hear "shit, seems like my backpack is falling apart" and after a long silence "I think we better end this conversation since I need to put this stuff back in".

we love you Seko... in that L.U.V. way... really. even if you do have more stories for this thread then anyone else.
hehehe
oh. so last week... some of you folks may have gotten this already... its not really a "did something silly" story, more like a "could anything else happen" story.
first, my horse got sick. almost had ta be put down, then my boyfriends dog got hit by a car... she did have to be put down, broke both hips. so the next day, I did a stupid, and my horse, who got better, desided to spook and run right over me... now my knee is sprained. I had to laugh when that happened because well.... all that in one week just borders on rediculous...
anyway, that saterday, our other roomie, while driving my gimpy butt around, blew the water pump on his car.
i must just be a walking target for bad luck. So really, at least all the silly stuff that happens to you folks... isnt that bad.
