Paint yourself in stupidity

Okay Pnq members

we like to think we are an intelligent lot, so
I would like you to share (if you dare) moments of pure stupidity, things you have said or thought.

I will kick off with two of mine,

1) It was only a few years ago that it dawned on me why a T'shirt is called a T'shirt. I was ironing one and suddenly realised it is T shaped.

2) When pay as you go mobiles were first launched they were advertised on TV with 2p pieces being put into the handset, this was to illustrate that calls would only be 2p per min, But thicko here thought "how the hell are you going to empty that, you put £2 in and it will be really heavy!!!"

anybody else brave enough to share their blonde moments?

I used to watch a network called EWTN with my mother when she was living They sometimes featured a blind Italian who came on the show and told about going to confession to a mystic controversial priest named Padre Pio who I believe has been recently beatified. Joey said the Padre called him by name and knew things about him he should not have. After a particularly stressful time in my life my sister took me on retreat . While I was there I confessed to a priest face to face I had never seen before. My heart raced when he began by saying; "I am glad you are here Michael". I thought OMG!! he is a mystic. While I was trying to figure out how he knew my name I remembered that I was wearing a name tag lol

I like this thread Darren.

An unforgettable blonde moment. Well, I have many.

I pronounced Half as Ralf with R and L. My teacher said:
Ralf is the name of my dog. Say Half.You don't pronounce L and H is not R.

I don't know if it makes sense for you but I felt embarassed especially because there were a lot of people looking and of course, laughing at me.

OK!

This is probably the most stupid blonde moment ever acknowledged lol

In the olden days where there use to be black and white Tv's, I actually thought that everything was black and white, by this I mean I thought people, cars, roads, trees, houses . . .literally everything was black and white then suddenly some how colour rained upon the world and that is how we got colour
hehe

I told you it was stupid, right? o_O

My latest act of idiocy.........

I went Christmas shopping on Ebay, looking for a present for my sister-in-law... she collects frogs and as I was looking at all the frogs I didn't realize when you hit the "Buy Now" option that meant you were obligated to buy... I thought I could change my mind... (wal-mart lets you do that... go back and change your mind) ha ha

so a few days later my husband says.. "Why didn't you pay for the items you bought on Ebay?" He received emails from them requesting payment.. I told him I changed my mind... LOL ummm no... I had to go back and purchase all the ones I did that too... I ended up spending 70 dollars on my sister in law... ha ha and one item came from Taiwan... ha ha took me 6 wks to receive that package... so now My Husband has grounded me from shopping on Ebay :-)

Ha, just yesterday went into work and had the hand over report from my colleagues. They informed me one of our service users had went home with his Dad for a week, so he'd miss his workshops and wouldn't need picked up by staff. Cool.

30 minutes later I'm standing in the kitchen at the day service building smirking to myself because John isn't there, just as I was told 30 minutes ago. I'm an idiot.

Perhaps my earliest recalled instance of idiocy was holding up a story session in primary school. I musta been 7, maybe 8 and we were being read "Jonathan Livingston Seagul" by Richard Bach. The teacher could see I was frowning intensely at everything she said so eventually she must have asked me what was wrong. I remember say "how can I Seagull talk?" (because the book is from the point of view of the bird). The teacher must have said something like "you have to imagine the seagull can talk". I spent the next 15 minutes debating her about how retarded the book was.

She wasn't the retard.

AS, same story!!! looool

I used to think they brought kids by just sleeping on the bed, looking at each other.

*forgot to add that I went bragging infront of my friends telling them I KNEW IT, I KNEW IT, and they said HOW? I told them. And they started laughing.... it was so embarrassing.

^^ LP I never knew anyone else who thought literally everything was black and white . .. even tho it sounds redundant lol

hehe, and YES!! you should embarrassed jk! nah, everyone has a perception of something then later find out what/how it really is and that's part of life everyday each individual learns something new :P

Until a couple years ago, I strongly believed weird was spelled "wierd" and even my computer didn't know it.

In 7th grade, I was doing a report for social studies about George Washington in front of the class and I didn't know colonel was pronounced "kernel". Someone asked me if that is what I meant, and I remember saying, no it's colonel, exactly how it sounds. Then my dad told me later how it's pronounced lol....

I was trying to buy some boots online today, well there as a 40 percent off code I was going to use so that they would be cheaper, but I ended up buying them without using the offer code, of course... so I sat there wondering why they were so expensive... then I realized an hour or two later that I didn't use the offer code. Stupidity at its finest lol

Thanks everyone so far, I am pleased that I am not the only person on here prone to bouts of stupidity.

anyone else brave enough to share,

Larry in my opinion you are the most intelligent person on here, so to give us all hope do you have anything to share?

I have the shortest memory of these things. They happen all the time, though.

On the first day of my first year in high school (14 years old) the "cool" teacher had us write in class a short essay on why we wanted to go to college. I could not remember whether there were one or two "l"s in college. I deliberately spelled it several different ways and made the essay from the point of view of an uneducated hick.
I did not impress him at all. He returned my paper with no grade & just 5 words: "Larry, you can do better."
