I am cutting down on caffeine. So this morning I decided to "drip" my coffee rather than press it. I filled the little cone with coffee and used the biggest mug I could find. (I am only having one cup a day :) .) The cone didn't quite fit, but that was okay, it's just one cup of coffee, right? So I fill it with boiling water and the cone slipped and I got a little on the counter. As I am waiting for the water to drip through I grab for the sponge to clean the spill up and dump the whole filter of boiling water over my left hand and all over the cupboards, the dishwasher and the oak floor in the kitchen. Stupid, stupid stupid. I am not really hurt since I got cold water on it right away, just a little scalded and very stupid.

What is just a stupid thing you have done? Fess up!
 
Does accidently dropping my friend's freshly rebuilt 454 engine down through the engine compartment, through the front axle count? Just an honest mistake of bumping into something, and causing a chain reaction...resulting in the aforementioned disaster.

Thankfully, you didn't get burned.

:( :( :( :( :(

My hunny bought me a beautiful huge statue designed by Randy Bowen of a Shivan Dragon. It cost over $150.00.

While we were in the store, I was so touched I was crying. We went to a cook out and I was so happy I wanted to show everyone what a totally sweet and wonderful guy he is, so I took the statue out of the box to show people. One of the wings fell out of it's slot on the back of the dragon and broke into 3 pieces. I cried. I did not even have it for 3 hours before this happened. And we can not buy a replacement wing for it.

See the pic below. That is what it looks like. I am searching iOffer for someone who might have a wing. But it's doubtful. Our artist friend has offered to fix it for me. But I will still know I broke it due to my own stupidity.

Well I am the queen of stupid things....but the dumbest thing I did lately was while we were moving. We had been given this really expensive crystal serving platter. We had never used it or really even taken it out of its box. Well I took it off the truck and turned with it to tell my hunny that I was gonna take it inside so we could use it..and the end of the box opened and the platter hit the ground and shattered into little pieces.:(
 
That's just tragic Silver. :(

For anyone intrested in my stupidity, see Ketchup.

You have the honor of giving me my first laugh out loud of the day. Thank you
 
I listed it one time here already, but just for those tuning in...

Taking a sheet of cookies out of the oven with only one oven glove on. As I pull the cookies out, the thick glove touches one of the elements and starts to smouler.. I blow on it but that only causes a little flame to start. In a panic I reach with my bare hand to grab the cookie sheet and drop the glove from my hand - totally forgetting the other hand isn't protected.

I had some pretty nasty burns on my hand and a burnt glove.. But the dog was happy because it got to enjoy the hot cookies that I dropped.
 
Just today I was discussing the time I drove to the wrong airport to catch a plane. That was pretty dumb.
 
When I was 18, I took three jobs over the holidays to help offset Christmas costs and give me some extra spending money. After a few weeks of retail and restaurant hell, I showed up at each job over a two day period to find out I wasn't scheduled that day. At the end of it all, I worked so hard and so often I never had the time to do any Christmas shopping!
 
I kept ice on my hand at work this morning. The skin is alittle leathery, but all in all I came out clean.

Thanks for sharing. It makes me feel better to have people share with me when I am being a dunce!
