Ever do something so dumb you question your own basic intelligence?

Ummm several years ago me and 2 older lady friends of mine went to a movie. We parked in a parking garage, got out, locked the car and went to see the movie. Came back to the car AFTER watching an entire movie to find we'd left the LOCKED car running the whole time. We had to call a tow-truck to come open the car for us...and live down the stupidity! Our only excuse was we were busy talking and the parking garage was loud enough you couldn't hear the engine...sigh...

I'm at work, with my afternoon cup of mint tea (like I have every single weekday) and I noticed a spot near the bottom of my mug. So what do I do? I tip the cup away from me so I can see it better. My very fresh, very full cup of very hot tea. You see where this is going, don't you? Too bad I didn't...I poured tea all over my desk - my mouse and part of my keyboard are now very minty fresh, and unfortunately so is a pretty expensive programming book that doesn't belong to me.
What the heck, brain?!?! Seriously??
Oh well...at least I didn't have any honey or sugar in the tea so it's not all sticky!

Been there, done that. Remember spilling a very large mug of ice cold tea in my lap while driving. Have you ever tried driving practically standing up? Not fun but there was no where to stop to change clothes or dry the seat. Still laugh at myself for that one.

I like the idea of blaming it on the earthquakes, though!

My latest - Getting ready to run errands so emptying trash, loading up the car with a bag for Goodwill as well as my shopping bags for the grocery store and my Kindle so I could stop at Panera's for lunch and have something to read. It was a lot to carry in one trip so I evidently threw the Kindle into the Goodwill bag.
I realized what I had done within 15 minutes but no one at Goodwill could "possibly" locate it. I was probably the first one at Goodwill that day but all I got was a song and dance about how it would take "forever" to search all the bins. It was a Kindle Fire so I contacted Amazon and got it locked immediately so it won't do them any good.

My great thought one day-the power was out so I decided to go downstairs to my sewing room to sew, not on a treadle that works without electricity. I sat down, took the lid off and couldn't figure out why it wasn't turning on...duh the power was out. And my dh was standing there looking at me like I was crazy.
