My bonehead moments tend to be my forgetting things. I would have shown up 2 weeks late for the flight to my Dad’s. I have been known to make comments about events or people and not realize they are standing right there. Luckily nothing I’ve said has been too negative.

Jack London has left the CPE’s shoes in the cart not once, but twice. I don’t understand why they come off. I don’t understand how you can’t see them in an empty cart. I don’t understand a lot of things, though.

anyone else left their purse in the shopping cart? I turned the car A/C on for the kids, unloaded the cart, put it in the cart return, then drove away without my purse… it’s a big one, so when I have a passenger in the front, I usually put it in the back seat. I didn’t realize it was gone until I got to my next stop. Had to do the walk of shame back to customer service. Thankfully, one of the kids working collecting carts turned it in!!

Julia I have done the two different shoes before. Luckily both were flats, one was blue and one was black.

I have also send emails to a whole group of people when I meant to forward it on. LOL

I have almost learned to check who its going to. Almost

Once in an important meeting I had a contact shift in my eye. It looked like I was having a fit. Poor Manager didn’t know what to do. LOL

I have locked my keys in a running car. Ran up to the house where I knew my parents had kept my extra set. My mom is going on and on while I am trying to say where are my keys. LOL

Strange you should mention bonehead today. We just switched carriers for our phone, internet and cable today, I just got a call from the tech about his tool bag, it is still in my kitchen beside my computer. I myself have NEVER done anything boneheaded, but I have heard of those who have. Anyone believe that?? Anyone??
The other day we were in Goodwill and I was looking for something in my cart and I had a glass figurine I didn’t want to chance breaking, so I put it in my purse for safekeeping, in front of an employee. Thank heavens I realized what I was doing before I completely put it in the bag.
My sister lost her Dayrunner recently and we looked all over the house and in the car and no luck. We knew we were going to have to replace all of her ID, I went out to the car to get something else and opened another door and the Dayrunner fell out, it had slid across the seat and fallen down.

LOL Julia. You reminded me of a couple of stories about my daddy. He wasn’t a funny man, but he did things funny. Once we were sitting in the car in front of the bank while my mother went in to make their business’s deposit. Daddy kept the motor running for the a/c. Unfortunately, he didn’t put the gear into idle. He rolled back and bumped the empty car behind. He jerked around and said “That damned fool hit me!” LOL

I was also told the family lore story of when he and my mother were newlyweds and went to a New Year’s Eve dance with several other family members. Daddy had been nipping a bit at his Scotch, apparently. He dance half the night with a coat hange still in the back of jacket. And nobody else noticed till late in the evening.

I guess boneheadedness is in my genes.

Have I ever told you guys the story about backing into a guy’s car twice? It was at an ATM. The guy in front of me would stick his card in, and the ATM would spit it out, and he’d stick it in again, and the ATM would spit it out. So me, being very impatient, throw my car into reverse and hit the gas — and slam into the guy behind me. I never saw him! I get out, I am so frazzled. He gets out. I apologize profusely. Our cars are only an inch or two apart. He says, why don’t you pull up so we can see what the damage is. I say, okay, and get in my car, put it in reverse and BAM, hit him again. I was just so frazzled! He thought I was a huge freaking bonehead and I was.

Oh yeah … went a week and once a month late to a doctor’s appointment. Forgot the life insurance guy was coming by once and answered the door in a housecoat. Bought a new car and tried to use the new key on someone else’s car that looked like my own one. Fell in front of my new boss — and not a simple fall, but a glorious Keystone Cops fall that took FOREVER before I finally landed. Lost my car in the mall parking lot oh, too many times to count — I could go on but I’m already embarrassed.

I AM glad to know I’m not the only one! HELLO, SISTAHS!

I’m telling on myself again…

when I find a pair of shoes or a purse I particularly love, I’ll buy it in several colors to match all my outfits.

Yup, you guessed it! Got up early for an 8 am client meeting, showed up at work with one black shoe & one dark blue shoe. They looked the same in the closet when I was changing!
(later that day… met my co-workers & client at the restaurant for lunch after ducking in & buying a new pair of shoes)
