Ladies, what are some of your embarrassing goof's that you find humor in?

(Correction: goofs-no apostrophe, thanks Elbanditoroso)

@KNOWITALL look at the bright side. There were a bunch of manual laborers about to go out for a day sweating in the hot sun. And the prisoners – who can’t be having a good time in jail – were also going to sweltering.

You made them laugh. You brought a few minutes of sunshine into their otherwise humorless lives. Your action (albeit unintentional) gave them something to grin about. It changed their day.

So in essence, you were an angel of light. Even if you didn’t mean to be.

@elbanditoroso Aw, thanks, that’s a nice way to put it. The foreman did say “I didn’t see a thing, darlin” and laughed.

And using those exact words ‘angel of light’ is highly ironic to me personally, since you don’t know me that well. Inside joke.

It seems to me that the jellies are hesitant, to say the least, to incriminate themselves on a public forum . So I won’t be the first. I see what’s going on.

@Aster We all make silly mistakes sometimes, or maybe it’s just me. I amuse myself constantly though. :) Come on, tell me…..pretty please?

I pull up on the opposite side of the pump all the time when the line is longer for the other side. It’s designed to be pulled to either side.

One time I ran out of powdered dishwashing detergent for the dishwasher. Made the poor assumption that I could just sub with liquid dishwashing soap. Ended up knee-deep in foam. And totally freaking out.

As it turns out, it’s actually really hard to get rid of foam! I tried stomping it with my feet. I tried crushing it with bath towels. I tried putting it in the sink and washing it down. I even tried flushing some down the toilet.

LOL

@raum some are, some aren’t.

The local BP near me has comparatively short hoses and I can’t get the nozzle to stretch to the side of my truck.

However, the Costco gas station at the mall has REALLY long hoses. So I think it depends a lot on the station owners.

Hmmm…interesting. I don’t think I’ve gotten gas from a BP? Maybe it’s a regional thing.

(Usually use Costco, Safeway, Chevron or Mobil. Sometimes Arco, Shell, 76, or Valero.)

Also, curious…is there a reason why this question is addressed to “ladies”?

Are you looking for more specific types of goofs?

@raum Not really, but some of us tend to hide our more silly mistakes rather than announce them. I figured this was a safe space to mock ourselves. Please feel free to post any!

And I did not know they were designed that way, I left myself not one sliver of additional room when I did it this morning haha!

Don’t remember how many times I looked up directions and time to get somewhere on Google maps—but forgot to switch from Walk to Drive. Totally balked at crazy ETAs.

Well, I’m pretty good with PCs. For one thing, they don’t scare me the way they scare some people. I’m not afraid to experiment so I know more than most.
Well one day, something happened. Don’t remember what. I called a local computer guy who we bought it.from and he briskly told me what to do. It involved tracking down the software programs that came with the computers. He wasn’t very specific and seemed hurried, but I thought I had a good idea of where he was going.
We hung up, I found the programs and…..long story short…I COMPLETELY WIPED OUT MY OPERATING SYSTEM!! Oops.

@Dutchess omg, too funny!

AAAAND that’s how I learned you can recover even from the worst thing you can do to your puter. It gave me even more courage!
