It wasn't consciously intentional. I just did it for some bizarre, subconscious reason. My wife says...what the fuck did you just do?!! After about a millisecond of indigent self righteousness,...oh, sorry, humongous brain fart. That was really, really stupid. No harm done but I don't recommend it.

I took driver's ed. when I was a teenager. At the time this stupid thing happened, I didn't have a license. We lived out on a graveled country road. One day, I drove to the neighbor's, who was a 1/2 mile away. I don't remember why I drove, it wasn't usual. My brother was in with me and as we headed back to the house, we approached a flat gentle curve. Remembering my driver ed. teacher's advice about accelerating as you approach a curve, then let up as you drive it, I asked my brother if he wanted to see how we did it in driver's ed. I accelerated as I hit the curve, hit loose gravel and slid right into the field of our nearest neighbor. We weren't hurt, but I was stunned at my failure. The neighbor came out and yelled at us punk drivers, always going too fast. Thank God, the field was dry and I drove out onto the road. Of course, with brothers, that wasn't the end of it. For years after, I heard the question, "Want to see how they do it in Driver's Ed?" and then roars of laughter.

First thing that comes to mind...

I was leaving a job (HVAC) site, an elementary school, through the gym. As I went through, I saw the kids doing some floor exercises and decided to do the exercises with them as I crossed to the exit.

It was not a graceful exit.

19 years old and drunk on Boones Farm wine. Put me in the Jacksonville Naval Hospital for a week and three weeks in a walking cast. After 30 days I lost my duty station on the USS Yosemite, and was assigned to the USS Albany.

Nothing good ever came from drinking Boone's Farm wine...

That I'll save. Forever!

To a lightbulb socket in a ceiling fan. I thought it would be funny when my friend’s mom would turn it on, thinking it would spin. I didn’t think about it sparking. I got grounded for that, especially being a fireman’s daughter.

I still wince when I think of it.

in the kitchen. I'm short (5') and was wearing slippery stockings. As I said, I was too lazy to get a safe step ladder so I brought over a wooden captain's chair from the breakfast nook. Climbing up on the counter went well, but coming down I slipped on the counter, tripped on the arm of the chair and the chair came with me. I fell backward, landed on the floor with the back of the chair hitting me in the middle of my back.

A couple of weeks if valium and muscle relaxers later, I was as good as new.

Idiot.

I've started trying to say "I'm brilliant" instead of "How could I be so stupid?" in an effort at positive thinking since my answer to the question is always, "How am I still surprised by how stupid I can be."

Perhaps the thing with the most long-term consequences was assuring my cousin I'd look after her cats if anything happened to her. She was younger than me so I was sure she'd outlive me. That's how I ended up with 8 cats in a small apartment. Loved each and every one of them but they all liked lots of attention and I was working long hours (before my company went work-from-home).

My first thought is always "Is this a sign of aging?" But the truth is, I've done silly things all my life, so this is just one more.

Never had more than one pet though.

Something strange happened to me during the registration at the labcorp.com web site.The company performs medical tests and the site is the customer portal to get the test results.During the registration it asks questions like email address but then the follow up question was to request the password for the email account.I did not answer the question and ended the registration.At the conclusion there was a survey with a line of faces from frowning to smiling.This does not give me much confidence in Labcorp with hacking so brazen they start during the creation of new accounts.This phishing brings customer data collection to ambitions beyond expectations.Anybody else is welcome to try the registration for themselves and tell us your result.

The website looks pretty normal. I have no need of an account there, so I expect it would be impossible for me to create a client side account without my name being in there. Hopefully there is another way for you to get your results.

You misunderstood. They are asking for you to specify the password for the new Labcorp account you are setting up, not for your email account.

...how would you sign in if you don't specify a password for your account?

Thanks for checking that out.

I was flying home, alone from Chicago O'Hare to Phoenix.

I had been attending my husband's family reunion, but had to return for the start of school.

Anyway, I get to the terminal, and I find a stuffed monkey on the sidewalk outside.
I pick it up.

I look for a family / child who look like they might be missing a monkey. No luck.

I go into the terminal, ask and employee where lost and found is? She points to a garbage can.

So....long story short, I take the monkey home with me. It was brand new, no tags on it, but obviously new.

Yes, I did think about the possibility of problems, but I figured there was most likely footage of me picking the monkey off the ground, in case it was stuffed with drugs, or whatever.

My husband was not impressed that I took it through security. Probably not the smartest thing I've ever done, but not the dumbest, by a long shot.

She replied, "Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday."

Sometimes I work long hours, and I get tired. I once caught myself stopped at a stop sign, waiting for it to turn green. After about half a minute, I realized it wasn't going to change, and I sheepishly drove forward, thankful there wasn't a cop in sight.

I do have a ton of dishes to do, however, so it could happen any minute!

I had just bought a video and left the checkout counter. There was a wall of windows at the entrance/exit of the store and I was engrossed in examining what I bought and as I turned to leave I walked into the window next to the door. It made a loud noise and fortunately the window didn't break. I could see in the window's reflection people looking at me so I acted like nothing was wrong and calmly walked out the store.

your order. I thought why is the car going in the wrong direction? Turns out the last time I used them was when dear husband was in the hospital and I didn’t check the address when I ordered this time. About 30 mins later and a much larger tip lunch finally arrived.

I had been at a meeting and just got into my car when my phone rang. I answered it, got into a conversation with the caller, at the same time I realized my phone wasn't in my pocket where I usually kept it, and I dug around in my purse for it, couldn't find it on the car seat or floor, began to wonder whether I'd left it on the table at the meeting - and all the while I'm talking to someone ON THE PHONE THAT I COULDN'T FIND. I explained to the person I was talking to that I was now officially senile because I'd been frantically trying to find the phone I was talking on.

I keep my keys (car and apartment) on a lanyard which I wear around my neck when I go out.

One time I went to the dog park and when I was ready to leave I started looking in all my pockets for my keys. I even enlisted another person to help me look through the grass for the keys.

After about 10 minutes I realized I was wearing my keys.
