    I heated up a tin of dog food the other night instead of beans. Words cannot describe how bad the microwave smelled.

    Finished work one night and went into the Chinese beside my flat and I order a Beef Satay. Boy says it'll be ready in 15 minutes, so I nip up to my flat, get changed, sit down and stick the TV on.

    Wasn't till the next morning at work when somebody asked what I did last night that I realised that I'd clean forgotten all about the Chinese :o Fucked up thing was after about an hour in my flat I remember feeling really hungry and I went and made myself pasta :thumb:

    I applied for a data entry job via careerbuilder online at my current place of employment. I now have learned to pay closer attention to the name of the company besides just the location.

    This is more stupid than silly and didn't happen to me, but...

    In the fitting rooms at in John Lewis last week there was this really smart middle-aged lady looking at herself in the mirror outside the fitting room. My boyfriend was loitering by the entrance to give his "valued" opinion, and out of nowhere points at this woman's arse and says in his most helpful voice "I wouldn't buy those trousers love, they've got a massive brown stain on the bum". Said lady turned round and snapped "these are my own trousers, I'm just trying on the top".

    :lol::lol::lol:

    haha Briggi thats hilarious!

    This is more to do with drunkness, but on Saturday night me and my friend were throwing keys to each other when we were walking home from the pub and I sort of missed catching them and they hit me in my face. Bursting my lip. it hurt. hehe.

    on Sunday at work I asked someone for ID who was buying j2O's. I thought they were alcopops cos i wasnt concentrating, haha. They give me a right funny look.

    I did something in the same vain. My real names Emma (middle name Jane). On a job interview the head teacher asked if i was Emma-Jane, i miss understood and said yes. Throughout the whole interview they called me Emma-Jane. I was strangely relieved when i didn't get the post, but a few months later they offered me a part time job. On the first day i made a point of saying i prefer to be called Emma.

    :lol: Ace.

    Probably for myself, it'd be cooking some beans for the full time (2.5 mins) then putting the in again for the SAME TIME. Needless to say, they tasted crap, and made nasty dry bean gunk stuck to the bowl they were cooked in.

    Also, I picked up the wrong mobile phone. With my old O2 pay n go sim in, which hasn't been used for so long, they deactivated it! Cunts!

    Its quiet funny a few years ago I applied for about 20 jobs around my town centre, I filled out I am white British and never got a reply, this one job I filled out I am white other (being half Italian myself) and I got called in for an interview later on in the same day. lol

    What could they say?

    I don't get it...

    As for me, this might or might not have been that daft...
    A couple of weeks ago I was at my dad's, and so was the guy who married my dad and stepmum. I was talking to the babies and mentioned him as their godfather, while he was around. They've not been baptised yet so there is no godfather, and I don't even know if it's going to be him...

    On friday night my dad and me went to sainsburys and I was going to the chippy on the way back. It was chucking it down so when my dad parked up the road a bit from the chippy I put my hood up to walk down the road, BUT my hood goes way over my eyes. Anyway walked in the shop, took the hood down and went to look up at the menu, then thought where the fuck am I? I was in the pizza shop a couple of doors up from the chippy. I said "oh shit" and walked out very embarassed hehe and made my way to the chippy!

    I'm on a hunt for a new job. I applied for a job at the place I'm currently employed at via an internet job finding site. Luckily the guy who recieves all of them is a bit of a bonehead and I passed it off as a joke.

    I picked up my straighteners at the wrong end today. The hot end. (They'd been on, at 200 degrees for about an hour). Yet I still held on to the bastards fir a good few seconds.

    Needless to say, my hand kills.

    i think it makes you sound even sillier tbh. :p

    i.e. you transfered the dog food from the tin to the bowl and didn't even realise.
    ;)


    however when tired i have been known to make a drink in a bowl instead of a glass - it was when i first woke up so i would've got confused with making a drink and making my breakfast!

    No no no!

    I was on the phone and making the dinner, took what I thought was beans from the fridge and fired them in the micro, I didnt know that Mr Glitery had used the beans for his lunch and then put leftover dog food in the bowl while I was out!

    I have the habit of walking all around the house while brushing my teeth, instead of staying in the bathroom. Once (this was several years ago, mind) I forgot to go back to the bathroom before spitting the toothpaste out and spit it on a tablecloth. :blush:
