Had a thread before about stupid hints and tips in day to day life. That one didn't quite work the way I thought of it so I thought some more and came up with this.

Every day, all people make stupid misstakes, some of them big enough to have a thread of their own, but most of them just trivial, yet comical, -uck ups.
I would like to have this thread in wich you could post how you messed up today, so that people can avoid doing the same misstakes and have a laugh at the same time. Get the idea?

I'll start off with a few examples.

*Saturday: If you're drinking shots, make sure the glas you use is smaller than your mouth. If you don't care for having most of the precious liqour pouring down your neck that is.

*Sunday: When having a picnic, be sure to look for a place to sit that isn't hosting hidden piles of dog poo.

*Monday: When chopping salads in a professional way, like the chefs on TV. Remember to keep smiling even if you do happen to chop off the tip of your indexfinger.

*Tuesday: If you're expecting company it is a good idea to take care of the no.2 buisness before the guests arrive. Be sure to lock the front door though, at least be sure to close the toilet door. And always make sure that there are at least 3 squares of paper in reach.

Sunday: When camping make sure to find a windbreak when pitching your tents so that 35 mph gusts don't ruin your outing.

Monday: When your German Shepard who weighs 75 lbs has her leash wrapped around your ankle, don't throw her favorite ball!!! :think:

Good job jdm, I was thinking this might have to be a solo preformance by me.
Talking of dogs, here's one I have aquired from a friend of mine

When out walking your Greyhound and you spot a rabbit before it does, hand the leash over to any other person you happen to have brought along.

Monday: When shaving your head bold, make sure young children do not steal your hair and use it to stuff your shoes.

Tuesday: When picking your nose, make sure to do it as un-noticable as possible if you don't wish it to become a family tradition passed on to the younger generation.

Tuesday: When removing all children from car seats and booster chairs, ensure you have the car keys in your pocket - not on the floor of the van - prior to locking the doors. :doh:

When you are "taking your imagination" to a further level when drawing, never underestimate your little Cousins "imagination".

OK – these obviously didn’t all happen in one week (cus that would have been a seriously bad week, but they are all 100% Gid’s very own experiences):

Monday - When you have just split up from your girlfriend, try and remember what her sister looks like so that you do not inadvertently start chatting her up in a nightclub (with the ex standing right behind you).

Tuesday - Do not get completely wasted on a ferry 12 hours before you are participating in an international Karate tournament abroad.

Wednesday - Under no circumstances is it ‘fun’ to insert bananas into the exhaust of a police car as they pull up to traffic lights.

Thursday - Do not insert lit air bomb / banger type fireworks into a glass milk bottle and then play ‘pass the parcel’ amongst a small group of you to see whose nerve goes first and throws the bottle

Friday - When first starting to date a new women do not try and cheer them up (if they appear a bit down) by making them watch Dennis Leary’s No Cure for Cancer if one of their parents has died from cancer only a few weeks previous. [SIZE=2](How the fook was I supposed to know?)[/SIZE]

Saturday - When sleeping with someone always try not to A – forget their name; B – call them by somebody else’s name. Doing so can often spoil the mood.

Sunday - When visiting the country of Germany, do not walk around whistling the tune from Dambusters and saying “achtung! – papers Englander schnell, schnell” at every conceivable moment – particularly if within earshot of the local police force.

Wednesday: If you plan to preform the collected works of Wagner in the evening and intend to use your behind as the only form of instrument, it might be a good idea to eat 2 pounds of dough (the kind with yeast in it) for lunch. If not, it might be a bad idea

Back to Sunday, when trying to break camp in a hideous wind, do not curse God. For some unexplainable reason my middle finger has developed an aching pain. I'm not religeous but I kid you not!

Ah, that reminds me.
wednesday 1988: Try and avoid shooting glasfibre arrorrow with steel head straight up into the sky. Chanses are you end up with a crushed toenail.

Thursday: If trying to mend the pains of having 2 ponds of dough swelling in your stomach by drinking Vodka, don't be surpriced if the pain has magically moved one floor up during the night.

This didn't happen to me but I was *very* close when it happened...:cunning:

Thursday...When you go to traffic court and lose for an 82 MPH speeding ticket... do not get up and punch some poor guy in the front row of the court room because you will quickly learn what "contempt of court" means. :woot:

Monday morning - when tipping the 45 gal. drum back to roll it off the truck, check first to see if it's empty or full before putting all your energy into it.
Monday morning earlier- when resetting your alarm clock after power outage, make sure you don't switch around AM and PM, enabling you to show up for work on time.

Friday Night: When running over a snake at work with the forklift, try to aim for the head as they get very upset when you only get the tip of their tail! :fight:
