nouggatti Posted July 22, 2008 Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 Sitting in a strange bu comfortable position on your desk chair - @rse on seat sideways, legs over one arm and then leaning back against the other arm forgetting it moves Ah I have done this often Wenders, warning NEVER do this whilst wearing a skirt Also always check which version of an email you are sending I once emailed the whole company an update on an outage, not realising I had forwarded the version which included the IT Infrastructure managers reply slagging off his predecessor who had started a different job in the company The recall button didn't work Last year in HP someone in the press office accidentally emailed the financial results to a third party three days before they were due as they didn't check the address they were sending to Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billydog Posted July 22, 2008 Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 Trying to zero my mileage clock on my car by putting my hand through the gap in the steering wheel needing turn a corner to leave the petrol station Add me to the list On the topic of wrong emails - I was emailed to ask if I would give a presentation at another organisation. As I was off work at the time I forwarded it to my supervisor saying, in lless than flattering language, that I couldn't be bothered with this right now. Only I hadn't forwarded it, I'd replied . I got a very brief email back fom said organisation. Fortunately my supervisor is very understanding! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boosboss Posted July 22, 2008 Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 Heading for Eynsford, not knowing where I was going and not taking the satnav. Ending up giving up on finding it, so stopping at a random location and heading off across some fields to find ourselves surrounded by sheep. Boo and Gyp were less than impressed that I wouldn't let them chase the sheep. Then getting lost and making a normal length walk a very very long and tiring one.

Tisaann Posted July 22, 2008 Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 Yesterday I brought a Mango that wasn't quite ripe so I told my daughter that I was going to put it on top of the coal bunker at the end of the garden where it would be in the sun and the birds couldn't get at it. My daughter looked at me and said " Mum, birds have wings" "Yes and that is why I am putting it on the bunker" say's I. I can still see the look of pity on my son and daughters face as they both turned to look at me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tegk68 Posted August 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2008 I want to crawl into a deep, dark hole and die For weeks I have had nothing to add to this thread and now, for me, the ultimate in Stupid Acts. The builders are here digging out the remains of the floor to our extension. They had to disconnect the outflow/waste pipes to do so, including the one from the bathroom, which now runs down the house wall to a foot off the ground where it opens up on the floor where they are digging. "do not empty out any water, use the bathroom this afternoon" I am warned. So I don't, thinking good god no way! BUT I do. 10mins ago Then I make a cup of coffee for them all and merrilly make my way round the corner.... "oooo, I'm not sure I want to be digging in that corner", says one of them and I look, and horrors of absolute horrors, a cold shiver runs down my spine as I realise a whole afternoon's worth of pee and poo, mine, is now bobbing along with lots of pieces of toilet roll Yes, I have now poo picked after myself, which is a novelty as it's usually just the dogs, with an audience looking on with their mugs of coffee in hand. I cannot face the outside world, ever again Seriously, can that be topped? Quite possibly. If it can please tell as I need to know I am not the most stupid person going.....

mooandboo Posted August 15, 2008 Report Share Posted August 15, 2008 Everyone pees and poos - some do it in wardrobes, or on their partner's pillows when they're asleep, when drunk (not me btw but it was my pillow ) Laugh it off & they'll forget about it - just pray that they don't drink in your local Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
