Don't you hate it when...

This morning at work I'm in a "very important" business meeting when I happen to glance down and notice that I have 2 different color socks on. My right foot is navy blue and my left foot is gray. Don't you hate it when that happens?

Anyone else want to confess to doing something stupid lately? :)

To funny Sherri!!! Just lately it seems mostly I am just forgetting where I am or why I am there. Scary, guess a lot of the "happenings" in the world have got me terribly preoccupied or "old farts" disease has caught me already. My most embarrassing moment at work was when I was working nights at the hospital on the OB floor where we had to change into scrubs when we got there. Grabbed my shower at home after working out in the garden, threw on a clean shirt and jeans and flew in to the hospital at the last minute. Well, I don't wear a bra at home......follow the drift??

Did a classic one yesterday. The one where you pull up at an intersection, roll a little to far out in the intersection, so put the car in reverse, stop, and forget you are still in reverse. Luckily for me, no one was behind me, but I nearly killed a bystander by laughing her ass off to death.

I was in a hurry and grabbed Tom's glasses instead of mine and put them on my face and rushed out the door and missed the first step because I couldn't see it. Only then did I realize that they were his glasses.

I once went to a party wearing two different style & color shoes. I decided to just pretend I meant to do that until someone said "Hey, did you know you're wearing two different shoes?" and of course he said it in front of everyone who then had to look!

Wishing you enough.

Yeah, I've worn two different shoes to work, too! Fortunately, both were black. Unfortunately, (and obviously) one was a regular shoe, and one was clog-like (no heel)!! I figured it out before the situation was spotted by others, and I prepared a damage-control statement (!) that I had a swollen ankle or something equally lame... (pun probably intended...)! Interesting that not one person even noticed! Dolts! (Of course, I'm absolutely exemplary! What was I even thinking!??? I think I was trying on different shoes to see which ones looked best, and um, got distracted!)

Last week, I wore two different colored socks to work, too. Sheesh! I actually TRY to pull myself together for my job! But there's those mornings when I just barely get the critters fed, and off to work. (It's spending time on the internet that gets me waylaid!!!)

Funny. Thanks for the post, Sherri!

I got out of my blazer and came in the house searching for my keys , only to find them 15 minutes later hanging in the doorknob from the night before. Felt really stupid when I realized I overlooked them when I unlocked the door and not only didn't notice them hanging there from the previous night,but also left them hanging while I searched the house.

My oh my see how I felt when one day I was running late for work(I drive a school bus) and didn't have time to "fix" my face so went on the bus and acted just as cheerful as ever and that afternoon when I went to pick up the kids they were like "Ms Sandy we are so glad you are back that lady this morning was so mean and she didn't smile" There was no way in hell going to tell them that was me!!!! Just shows you the little brats really don't pay you a whole lot of attention,since the Lord knows I don't look that much different!! Honest ask Mike he see's me every morning with no makeup.......

A little over a hundred years ago, when I was in the Air Force and stationed in Japan, we sent all our laundry out. It was so cheap and they really starched my fatigues. My neighbor, Southowski, and I had the same laundry man pick up our clothes and deliver them. One morning I was running late and we had Commanders Call first thing and I really didn't want to be late. I threw on my fatigues and got there just in time. My fellow airmen were laughing at me and when I asked them why, they pointed out that I had on Ski's fatigue shirt. Ski, had on one of mine! From then on, I checked to make sure my shirts had my name on them before going out of the house.

Wildman, (embarrassed)
