Real life screw-ups

[csgasser]

A relative recently paid off the last mortgage payment for her house, (or something like that) and that night she was cooking. Some fat dripped onto the flames (it is a gas cooker by the way) and then the whole thing set alight! We spent ages trying to make the walls look white again...

Well this isn't my screw-up, or really a screw up, but I think its just hilarious. I have this friend (who's a fellow cantirian, you know who you are) who works at this supply dept thing, where he can get stuff in bulk for cheap. Well if always gets tampons for a lady friend of his since its cheaper to buy it in bulk, and she would go through all f it, and I mean like 1000 tampons each month. SO he gets a wondering, and decides to go check and see what the problem is. It turns out she lives right by the highway, and got the great idea of throwing the tampons at passing cars. This had been going on for awhile until she hit a police car. The female cop just laughed it off and gave her a warning. *sigh* welcome to my world

People who chat with me know that sometimes I get all silly and start talking baby language. I also have a habit of muttering aloud to make it easier to write this baby language, I use it sometimes when playing Seko and Bessie, it helps to think where to put ... and so on. Anyway, a couple of days ago I was chatting with Spider, taking on a childish role, when the phone rang... and I answered with my baby voice! The guy calling was stuttering a bit, spat out his name and then, after a moment of silence he started explaining "Your parents must've called me, uhh, is your dad home?", he must have been wondering if I even understand what he's saying. It was a tad embarrassing. The lesson is, get off-character before speaking to someone who doesn't get it.

One embarassing moment for me happened about 3 hours ago. I went to the supermarket for just a few things and didn't have my list. I took ym time knowing that I'd get to come back home and spend a nice quiet day at home, alone. I even watched my Uncle leave for work, which was fun for me! YAY!! free time! Anyway..I continued shopping, bought more than I needed. Afterwards, I left the supermarket and got to the door..only to discover that 1. My keys were locked inside of the apartment. 2. I had perishable items. 3. I had my Uncle's insulin that needs refrigeration. and 4. I had to use the bathroom really bad. Ending of the matter..my landlord was coming in about an hour after I sat there and wiggled on the from steps and was able to let me in the building..then go get the keys from the office and let me in my apartment. I feel so dumb..

Two years ago I lived in a dorm. Now, my roommate and I didn't usually lock the door to the room, and he usually slept in later than I did.

One morning, about an hour before my first class, I went across the hall to take a shower (there was one bathroom w/ shower for about 5 rooms).

All went well until I tried to get back into my room.

No go. I didn't have a key, it was locked, and my roommate had left for some reason.

So I was standing in the hall in my towel, 45 minutes before class started.

Neither of the building's RAs were in, for some reason, and I had to call around for half an hour (first bumming a cell phone from someone else who was awake) before an RA came and unlocked my door, letting my poor naked-except-for-a-towel self into my own room. And of course, it was a female RA.
