Laugh at Yourself here
I'll start.
When I use my computer I often sit in my comfy chair and put my feet up on my desk (No, I never did this in my office at work)! I call this my 'executive position'.:D Anyway, I was sitting here today and suddenly noticed that I had two different shoes on my feet. One was a brown sandal and the other a black loafer. Generally I am able to match my shoes and yes, one day I actually did wear two different shoes out when I went shopping. In that case they were at least similar (two different black shoes). Well, hope this made you laugh or at least smile. I'm going to go and search for the mates for my shoes and decide which will be best. Got anything funny to share? Tootsie:rolleyes: |
I did the shoe thing myself when I was still working. At least they were both the same style, just one was brown and one was black. No one noticed - or at least was too polite to say anything :D.
Several months ago I got up & dressed & went off to Target. I was almost done with my shopping when a lady came up to me, bent over (I'm in a powerchair) & told me (in a low voice) that one of my chair arms had a pair of panties wrapped around it :eek:. Sometimes when I'm getting dressed I stick the old ones there until I take them to the hamper. I was absolutely mortified :icon_redface:. She couldn't have been nicer - she said she was a nurse. I frantically shoved the panties into my purse, hoping an employee wouldn't see me and think I was shoplifting them! It's now ok to laugh about it, but it took awhile! And no, I don't stick pieces of clothing on my chair anymore (at least when I know I'm going out :wink:!) |

I am laughing so hard at that! I can relate. I once left the house midday and went to the hardware store. I looked around, went to the checkout and purchased what I'd come for. When I got home I walked by the mirror and noticed I'd been walking around with a dish towel thrown over my shoulder. No one said a word. Maybe they thought it was a scarf??? I'm glad though it wasn't my panties. Oh wait..... |
I said (in the previous post) oh wait...
because I remembered one time when we were traveling and staying at a very nice hotel. The day we were leaving husband gathered up a bunch of stuff to take to the car. I made a quick sweep of the room to make sure we didn't leave anything and when satisfied I had everything I left. As I walked down the hall I saw in the distance a small pink 'item'. Hmmmm, I wondered, what could that be? As I got closer I suddenly realized it was my panties!:eek: Seems like husband had taken a little too much with him and 'spilled' some of the dirty laundry. :icon_redface:I quickly took a look around, trying to be nonchalant as I hastily picked them up and stuffed them in my pocket.:Blush2: When I got to where dear husband was waiting for me he said "why are you glaring at me???". I don't let him carry the dirty clothes bag anymore. Tootsie:D |
I made it half way to work without my skirt on once!! I had a slip on, plus my blouse - but generally waited till I was ready to leave to put my skirt on so it wouldn't get too wrinkled or dirty (I had two small boys at that time). Luckily I looked down and to my horror :eek: I had no skirt!! Good thing I wasn't too far from home AND we had a garage so I could inconspiciously get into the house!
Now....I double check everything before I leave the house!! :rolleyes: |
Oh Kelly! Thank goodness you didn't drive all the way to work and have someone say "Ummm is that a new style of skirt you're wearing?":D:D LOL
I have gone to the grocery store with my slippers on. They are a bright light blue color and they are really fuzzy! I noticed when I got out of the car but decided what the he!!, I'm not going home now. I did my shopping in my slippers:D:D. I so don't care what people think of me most of the time. I thought that it would give some who noticed a chuckle:):). |

I once visited a friend and her dad was sitting in the rocking chair rocking; suddenly he went ***** over applecart!:eek: After we found out he was okay we got a good laugh out of it. Tootsie |
Kelly, I have to admit I've usually made it out of the house with my skirt on! That is truly funny:D
Joelle, So are the blue slippers a hoot, but I too wouldn't bother going home to change them either. Once I am there I'm there and that's it! |
I hate to wear a bra..but since I am blessed :o I have to whenever I go out.
I was waiting tables at a family style place several years ago and had to be to work at 3am...needless to say I wasn't quite awake...drove all the way to work and went inside when my boss (thank goodness a female) asked if I forgot something. lol Not sure what she was talking about she gave me a little hint...she told me that I work for tips...not with my ti*s! :eek: I was so embarrassed! She had to cover for me while I went home and put my bra on! :rolleyes: if she'd kept her mouth shut I might have made good money that day! lol Susan |
Most embarassing moments
Okay... I have to tell on myself here.:Talkative: Here goes: Back in the day,when I was young,slender and full of myself, a group of us went dancing at a local club.I had went into the restroom to well...you know, and touch up my make up etc... I went back out and everybody was staring at me. I thought "Gee I must be looking fantastic", so I pushed my bosom out a little further and strutted a little more and was all feeling sassy and sexy untill the waitress tapped me on the shoulder and told me to pull my dress out of my panty hose.:holysheep: I have to tell you, I bee lined for the door without so much as a good bye to my pals and never did go back to that club. I was soooo embarassed.
|
You all are cracking me up! I have a few of those embarassing moments in my past but since this one just happened today I thought I'd share.
I had just finished off the remnants of a can of cashews and was taking the can to the trash can in our utility room. Weird thing was it felt like the can was vibrating. I am so used to the strange MS things and am in an exacerbation so I just figured I was getting vibration in my hands. As I got closer to the trash can I noticed the vibration getting stronger. After I threw the can in the trash can, the vibration went away. Are you ready for this? The dryer was running and the can was picking up the vibration! :Doh: |
Redfaced
A long time ago, I was in the Navy, and we were required to stencil our name on all of our clothing while in bootcamp. Well, at my first duty station, I still had most of those same items of clothing, including my underwear. One day doing laundry, I apparently left behind one of my bras. Some kind sailor was good enough to pin my bra up on the bulletin board so I could find it (and of course so everyone else could see it hanging there!) I was only 19 and mortified!
|
lol yall are nuts I laughed so hard reading those, I am sure i have done similar things did the shoe thing but they both were white gym shoes just diff logos went to work with a half shaved face ooops
|
Just last week I put the detergent in the fabric softner dispenser of my washing machine.:p I started to put a gallon of milk in the cabinet. :p I put my dogs food on my dinner plate.:p There is one more thing I can't remember but it was funny too. LOL:D
|
Becky; I've done that too! I get distracted and put things away in odd places.
I also hide things; like when we go away and I'm worried we'll be robbed (by the way, we have been robbed!). That was long ago but after the experience you get kind of concerned. So I hide my jewelry; bad thing about this is that I'm so good at hiding it that I can't figure out where I put it when I get back.:confused: Mostly my jewelry is stuff I'm sentimental about; not like it's of major value. We do have a safety deposit box; I should take the sentimental stuff and put it there. Tootsie |
You all have made me pee myself laughing so hard. So since I got a good chuckle out of your mishaps here's one of my own that mortified me.
I've been wearing dentures for the past 4 years due to a heriditary condition. Well I never and I mean never leave my house without them or even when guests come over I have to have them in. Well about 2 yrs ago I was working for Big Lots as their bookkeeper and I got to work and realised I was still in my slippers. I figured oh well at least they are the black ballerina one's and no one shoud notice. I ring the buzzer to get in and my boss opens the door. I usually greet everyone with a nice big smile. I did so and my boss gave me the strangest look back that I was like what is it? He goes shoot Sara I never knew you didn't have teeth. I was so horrified I said be right back. And ran home to get them. I get back to work teeth in mouth and he says to me. You went all that way and still forgot to put shoes on? I just walked right past him said don't say another word. From that moment on we had a secret giggle we'd share every now and then when one of us was having a bad day it would cheer the other up. Sara |

I open up a brand new file and add details of what I've hidden, and where. If my computer goes down, It'll still be lost...:D |

I once 'hid' a Christmas present. My DH and I looked and looked for it but could never find it. It was a little VW car for our then little boy; just a metal toy. He is going to be 41 this month and I still puzzle over that one :D |

Tootsie,
Are you sure that little one didn't fine it and hid it somewhere else. LOL:hug: |
So I'm taking one of my sons tempuratures with a digital thermometer.
I check it and sy outloud, "8.66? Stupid metric system!!!" My Mom looks at and says, "It's upside down, dopey!" |
I used to sing alot of solos in church.
Well, at the last minute I decided that I should wear a girdle under the form-fitting dressing (clingy material too) I was wearing. I put it on last minute...over pantyhose. I'd got to the bathroom prior to church beginning. Well, we all stood to sing a chorus (at our seats) and I got a tap on the shoulder. My dress (back then dresses below the knee were the style) was pulled all the way up in the back and tucked up under the girdle! To top it off, the row behind me were young men, so it was one of them that thankfully told me! It wasn't a moment too soon, because not two minutes later, I was "announced". Whew! I've never worn a girdle since...lol. KD |

I consider that one a 'miracle'. Maybe I should change my name to 'Bubblehead' or 'Forgetful one'? Tootsie |

OH MY Gosh!!! I haven't done that yet.:p I'm glad you got your purse before it fell into the street.:eek: I saw a neighbor do it once and couldn't get her attention before she drove off. When I saw her later, she said drivers were honking and waving at her and it scared her until she relalized what they were trying to tell her. Thank heavens she didn't lose her purse. She didn't have MS so I don't know what her excuse was other than she had two little bitty kids. That would do it!:) |

One time my DH and I headed to the post office to mail a package. When we got there we couldn't find it and figured we'd forgotten it! So back home we went. As we drove along the same road; just going the other way, I shouted 'oh my god, stop'!. DH pulled over, I opened the door and leapt out. There was our package neatly sitting in front of a road sign. Some good samaritan apparently found it lying in the road and figured we'd look for it. Amazing. Apparently we'd both managed to leave it on top of the car! Must be something in the air. We live in a small rural community with some very down to earth, kind folks. Where else could this happen:winky: Tootsie |
I love these....so funny! I always say there is nothing that happens in life that you can't make a good story out of. ;)
I have way too many embarrassing moments to put down much less remember. Actually, they are much more embarrassing to my grown daughter than to me, I'm used to it! Yesterday my daughter & I with my grandson were out to lunch. This precious little old lady & her nurse came up to us to say how pretty the baby was. She kept patting me on the back & smiling. Her nurse was with her & here's what I thought she said, "excuse us but she's 93". I responded, "that's awesome, she's so sweet". After they left my daughter was shaking her head & said do you realize what you just said? I'm like, yeah...why? Turns out the nurse said, "excuse her, she has dementia". Ooops.......I guess you don't say awesome for that! :o I looked at my daughter & said well, she's still cute! |
Tootsie,
That's a good one!:) I'm glad you found your package by an honest person.:) Now, who left the package on top of the car?? You or DH?? LOL I bet is was your DH!:D Quote:
|
kinch,
I have lots of funny and embarrasing stories too! I need to write them down to remember them all. It would be funny to have a journal to look at and laugh about. I think the nurse probably realized you didn't hear her correctly. After all, she does work with the elderely who get confused easily. I cracked up at the part where you told your daughter "well, she's still cute" after she told you what the nurse really said. That's priceless!:D Quote:

I hope that if I ever have dementia like the little old lady in Kinch's story, I'm a sweet and happy demented person:D I don't mind giving people something to smile at now and then. These stories that everyone is sharing are very good for us! Nice to know we are not alone in our dingy stuff:) Tootsie:winky: |
Well I actually ran a couple of errands and didn't try to leave my billfold on the counter. I got home without any incident today.:p
We definitely need a good laugh everyday. I either laugh at myself, my pets, funny emails, TV or all of them. Sometimes it's not easy but I really try to keep a positive attitude for my own well being. :) Plus I might run off my few remaining friends. LOL:p |
I was in a car accident two years ago (just after my dx with MS, actually). My son, who is a police officer, met me at the ER. He was on duty but was able to leave his zone in order to come to the hospital. My friend Julie had driven me there.
Matt was in uniform and was hanging out in the examination room with me while I waited for the doctor. The doctor (and nurse) came in and he ordered an x-ray. When they came to take me to have this done the nurse asked my son if it was OK that I went or did he need to accompany me. I spoke up before he did and said that he could wait in the room or wait out in the waiting room - his choice. The nurse sort of looked at him funny - like I shouldn't have said anything - and asked him again if it was OK that I went to x-ray. She thought he was there to guard me - she thought I was going to jail after I was released!! OMG - I laughed so hard at that! She did, too, after I told her that he was my son! He never lets me forget that, either! :D |
OMG these are great......
I also have the habit of throwing my dish towel over my shoulder...and Sundays here are the big dinner day....so Sunday DH was doing his laundry while I was cooking. He had gone out doors to do some stuff so I took one load of his clothes out of dryer and put the next washed load in. While carrying his pile of stuff to the bedroom I drop an item.... Well I had to rush back to the stove because my taters were about to boil over and forgot about the dropped item for a bit..... Later on I came across the item and gave it a pitch over my shoulder as I went to turn something else off on the stove planning to go and add it to the pile in the bedroom...well.......dinner got ready table was set....MIL and Aunt, SIL and her son and grandson and my DD and DH ...we all sit down to eat......I washed my hands and went to grab the "towel" That was on my shoulder....(I am standing next to the table) and begin to wipe my hands................ it was DH's boxers I was drying on............everyone cracked up....I felt flushed and just decided to play it off............finished drying hands and said lets eat I am starving.....laid his boxers in my lap......but had to try hard not to use them to wipe my mouth through out the dinner....... THANK GOD THEY WERE CLEAN!!!!!!!!!!!!! |

I always seem to be doing more than one thing at once. I drop things; forget to come back for them; burn the cookies in the oven due to going off and checking something else. When I was young I'd blush at some of my little goofs, but now I just laugh. I guess that's what I mean by laughing at yourself. :D Tootsie |
Just had another yesterday....my daughter's new favorite. :winky:
My Betta fish Fred died yesterday. It was sad because betta fish usually only live about 2 years & he was 4 1/2. I was very proud of him for sticking in there so long. Anyway, as my daughter & I are preparing to give him a burial at sea, I stopped and said, "Fred deserves a few words of silence before we flush". To which my daughter starts saying "ssssh, hush, quiet, shush, no words, speechless". I look at her like she's crazy & ask "what are you doing?!" She responds with "these were the only words of silence I could think of". She is such a smart alec :icon_exclaim: |
These are all so funny !!!
I have done so many things - too many to chose from... here is one of them... My Mother and I were shopping at Target a few years ago, I went into the restroom while she waited for me. I come walking out of the restroom and over to an isle where she is shopping nearby. As I walk up, Mother starts saying "Nancy, Nancy..." and she is running over to me and I don't have a clue what is going on. She starts hitting at my "behind" and then I realize - I am trailing toilet paper behind me all the way back toward the restroom. :eek: It was tucked into my pants ! I still don't know how I didn't notice or feeling it tugging. Mother and I just died laughing after we got over the initial shock and all that toilet paper that was strown across the floor !!! I often wonder how long I would have walked around like that if my Mother hadn't been with me !!! Surely some good soul would have seen the sitatuion and told me. Ever since that incident - I now check, and check and recheck my pants after I go to the restroom. :D |
Then there was the day my sister turned up unexpectantly and said "Lets go 10 Pin Bowling" (I was about 19 or twenty at the time).
I looked a mess, so I changed my clothes, but my hair was bedlum! I grabbed a wig and wore that.........I looked beautiful, or so I thought! Yep............you probably guess it by now! Half way through our afternoon at the bowling alley, I sent down my ball only to see my wig sliding down the ally with it. I don't know whether it was the fact that everyone saw the wig, or the fact that my unruly long hair was pinned up in a make do arrangement that was sticking out in all directions, but I've never felt so embarrassed in my whole life. I just wanted to dig a hole right there, and crawl in! It took a while to get me back at the bowling alley, and I never, ever wore a wig again. |
I am laughing so hard I am going to pee my pants.........
Whew........ I was depressed but this thread sure cheered me up. Soon after my 4th child was born. We got ready to go out somewhere and all piled into the car. Drove a couple miles when to my horror "where is the baby"? I said. We had left her at home, peacefully still sleeping in her basket!! My kids never let me forget that one either. |
