i recently had to climb up ladders to paint the top of our rusty metal shed. sawed tree branches away from it too. did all that without getting rust remover, primer or white paint on me. yea!! then i cleaned the paint roller with the water hose. well, that stupid roller started to spin. now i have white sprinkles all over my dark jeans!!! almost got away with it.

Once at a store they had a display of knives for sale. They didn't really look to sharp so I decided to run my finger down the edge. Believe me they were sharp. I had to go to a cashier to get a tissue to contain the bleeding. I felt so dump.

Just last week I was spraying the back side of a framed quilt I won at an online auction, carfully peeled the backing way so as not to destroy the quilt (all hand done), sprayed the frame backing perfectly - except the bleach spray caught the breeze and ruined a brand new top. Tried to dye it - no luck. My last resort is to try to dye it black next - I love that blue! Cried for an hour over it.

I made a bad mistake the night before Thanksgiving when I was preparing my chicken and dressing. You're supposed to put the dishes you use less often on the top shelves, right? Well, I had two large Corning baking dishes on the top shelf of my cabinets. The bottom one was in a metal carrier. Unknown to me, my husband had placed a smaller baking dish inside of them making them heavier. As I took them down, I don't know if my arms gave way, if they slid forward, or just how the accident happened, but all three fell onto my counter top and broke, along with a glass butter dish. After the mess was cleaned up I cried. I don't believe Corning makes these anymore. I found one on eBay for $35, but the others I don't expect to find. I wish I didn't get sentimental about "stuff" but they were nearly 30 years old and I thought of all the holiday dinners that had been served in them. Plus I wanted to pass them on to my daughter. I had to bake my dressing in two smaller dishes and it just wasn't the same.

Today I was trying to fix a bycice for my kids, well, the whrench slipped off the bolt and I banged my finger really hard on the handlebars, finger swelled up, got a blood blister, thought I had broke my finger for a little while as the pain just kept getting worse. Man! that was really dumb! I mean, what do I know about fixing a bike? nothing!!! lol
So, I thought it would be fun to share some of your dumb ouch experiences!

Probably the dumbest thing I have ever done was years ago. I got ready for work went flying out the door and climbed in my station wagon. Started it and backed up right into the side of my DH's truck. I knew it was there and he had to move it before I could get out but I forgot!! LOL He had a dented door for the life of the old truck.
