I am a very nutty guy and I have a ton of em!

Coming home with a microwave dinner and a movie from work, I put the movie in the freezer and realizing I had the dinner when it wouldn't fit in the VCR

Recently: I put some creamed corn in a bowl and wanting to put it in the microwave, I put it in the fridge and sat in the living room thinking I had put the corn in the MW and just waiting a couple of minutes LOL

While blowing my nose at work with a thin piece of TP, the snot went thru the paper and landed on my desk, it was a big green booger!

My computer beeped (email) and I jumped while sitting at the computer writing a web app!

And much more... Any other nuts out in the world?

 

Very funny, you might wanna lay off the stuff before dinner

 

Yeah, whats in them TV dinners?
Are you sure they are, in fact food?

Still waiting for your email

 

Yikes, I'm staying out of Canada for awhile....just in case it's contagious.

 

there was the time many years ago when I came home from work and the door had the sliding chain lock across it so I couldn't get in. I knocked, banged, scream through the door to no answer from my wife. So I stormed out to the detached garage and called my wife, getting more and more PO'd because she was on the telephone chatting away and not answering the door! Finally after much banging on the door she awoke - and I realized the telephone in the garage was connected to the same telephone line

 

One of the dumbest things (and I think I posted that B4?)

I just finished changing the plugs and wires on my truck, when time came to test my installation, the engine would crank but it would never run, and when it did it would backfire etc...

At first I thought I misplaced a wire or something, next to impossible since I removed them 1 by 1. But I double checked everything. Then I removed the plugs to check them out. Nothing wrong? Anyway 2 to 3 hours go by with a lot of bitching and swearing and about to call in a tow truck LOL

Then it hit me! I FORGOT ABOUT THE FREAKING ANTI-THEFT I turned on and off my lights, started the engine and all was back to normal!

Or once I had a computer problem right after changing the CPU heatsink. After about 40 minuts of playing with the BIOS, I checked the CPU and I didn't push it all the way into the slot

 

How could you forget to push it all the way in to the slot?
LMAO

 

Ok, I'll fess up and share in the shame.

I had a truck that failed inspection cuz the Hi-beams did'nt work. I figgered it was no big deal but I had to order the expensive headlight switch and even after i got it, installation was a real pain in the ****. fast forward to momentof truth, high beams still dont work so I recheck my work and all seems legit. Out comes the circuit tester and lo and behold both headlights have the high-beam filaments burned out! :o :o

This is what happens when you assume instead of diagnose. Had I begun with the circuit tester.........................aahrrrg, well you know.

P.S.-Sorry for the typos, I just finished a TV dinner and my head's spinning.

 

Jeez you guys aren't planning on breeding are you?

Actually one time i pulled into my driveway shut off my truck but i couldn't get the key out of the ignition. It was cold out so it thought maybe it froze in there. After spraying half a can of wd-40 into the ignition i yanked and twisted on the key for about 20 minutes. I took the cover off the steering wheel and was just about to remove the lock cylinder when i realized the truck was still in drive! I shifted into park and the key came right out!

Did this yesterday....

Arrived at friends house, parked in front of his slide-in camper. Pulled in a little too far (was under the overhang). Backed out a bit. Got out walked around the front of the Screw (admiring my new Bull Bar I put on last week) and walked straight into the overhang of the camper, nearly knocked me down and chattered my teeth so bad that I can't even drink ice water today (temp sensitive). Still have the headache and goose-egg on my head too.....

most recent one i've done is going to microwave a cup of coffee. ( i know, tastes like crap ) put coffee in mic. come back in a couple minutes. remove coffee and take the first satisfying sip. spit and then realize never turned on mic.

 

LOL ok I thought I was the only one! LOL. I'm practically known in my family for putting empty containers back in the refrigerator, I just don't think about it as I'm putting it back. I also spent about a half hour one morning looking for my jacket only to find I had put it in the washer but hadn't started the washer or put in soap or anything. Still not sure what I was doing! LOL.
I've also come down to find something in the microwave like "what is this doing here" only to realize I put it there instead of back in the frig (hey there right next to each other, its an easy mistake!). i can't use the old "I'm getting old excuse" because I'm only 21, so I'll just use the "I'm so dumb sometimes" excuse, LOL.
Now, vehicle bloopers. When installing the lights on the roof of my explorer, I spent hours drilling holes in the roof, running wires down through, running them to a power source (which was a fuse block mounted under my back seat), sealing up the holes, concealing all the wiring, go to flick the switch and nothing, no lights. Go to start the car, car starts fine, still no light. Then I remembered that I was using an optima battery with two battery posts (one set on top and one side set of posts), I had hooked them up to the sidepost but had disconnected it while doing the wiring so as not to fry anything. i had left the top terminal connected though which is why the car started no problem. This was discovered after about an hour or two of tracking down wires, checking connections with voltmeter, re-connecting, etc.

 

The weather has been pretty good here and everyone has been raking their yards. There was a line of trucks, trailers even stationwagons with leaves at the dump on Saturday. I felt sorry for the guy at the speaker, as each vehicle pulled up he had to say,
"Whatcha got?"
Each response would be the same as mine, "Leaves".
and he'd say, "Go on back."

On my final trip I heard, "Whatcha got?
To which I responded, "Well I had leaves but, most all of them blew out."

Silence. No command came from the speaker.
Finally he said, "Well, go on back."

 

I always have to go in in reverse while I need space to open the door.
I forgot to close the tailgate.
You can guess what happened.
Lucky for me there was no damage.

 

I have a few I am not proud of....

Hitch hiking back from school. Car stoped 50 ft in front of me and let some one out. I run up to the car ( it was a 2 door ) while the door was still open, push the back of the front seat forward and jump in the back. All excited to get a ride I look to the driver to say, thanks for stopping, but the expression on his face was that of bewilderment. He asked what I was doing in his back seat to which I promptly answered "getting a ride". He then politely informed me that he had only stoped to let the other person out and that he had no intention of giving me a ride. I reluctantly got out of the car and he drove off. I laughed all the way home. I ended up walking home....

My second claim to fame was my first oil change. I had everything ready. I bought a new filter, 4 quarts of oil, funnel, rags, filter wrench, drain pan, etc... I did everything by the book;
removed plug, drained oil into pan, oiled the filter seal and installed, Put in the oil. It was an excellent job. When I pulled the pan out from under the car I noticed what I thought was a lot of oil in it. Turns out I forgot to reinstall the oiul drain plug. I walked 2 miles to the parts store to purchace more oil. To this day I have never forgotten the drain plug....
