The "I'm a bonehead" thread.

#21
My buddy amd I left his Rickenbacker guitar in the back of my '66 Cuda once. Needless to say when we arose around noon then next day, it was gone.

I once drove to a Hot Tuna/Jefferson Airplane concert 45 mins from my house with a carfull of guys. We were partying pretty hard outside the
park and starting to get a real head on when I realized I left the tickets on the side table by my front door. That was a memorable ride back.

Last Thanksgiving I opened the oven to baste the turkey. It got a little hot so I turned the oven off. I noticed about 3 hours later the turkey wasn't getting done real fast. Needless to say,
the appetizer/cocktail hour was a bit long.

One time in band camp I stuck a flute in my........ whoops!

Once when I was a little bit younger, I tried to open a two liter bottle of soda and couldn't. I got all pissed off and head-butted the cap!

Well, I walked around with a two inch knot sticking out of the middle of my forehead. That was a bonehead thing to do!

Well, obviously, I just find that odd. Of all the possible things to do, you chose the one thing that has NEVER solved a cap problem in the history of cap.

Sounds like my friend Cory... y'know how you crush a can on your head, by starting it with you fingers momemts before impact, then the cumple is easy, right?

My bud Chris showed him this (not telling him the pre-crushing), and Cory proceeded to SLAM his head into the butt end of an empty Pepsi can. About knocked himself out, and rolled around in pain for about 5 minutes, witha ring shaped bruise on his forehead.





Then he did it again. He was down for 10 minutes the second time.

I just remembered another one. I usually walk to the local store to buy bread, milk whatever. We were getting ready for a party and we needed a few things. I decided to take the car because people would be arriving soon and it would be quicker.

On the way home I had that nagging feeling I'd forgotten something. I pulled out the list an went through it again and it all checked out, so I kept going. It wasn't till I got home that I realised what I'd forgotten.... THE CAR!

My brother is going to bike to school one morning. Runs up the driveway, swings his leg out over the bike. Slaps himself in the forhead and runs back down the driveway to the garage.

He'd forgotten his bike.

That's not necessarily a disability. I have an excellent sense of direction, yet I have never been in Portland without getting lost. That is one confusing city :eek:


On the other hand, I have, on more than one occasion, put papers on the floor in front of the door so I would be sure to remember to take them to work, then stepped right over them and left without a clue. :rolleyes:

Iv got a couple good ones

I have developed a nice habit of getting on the wrong bus after school this happens about 1 or 2 times a month (the farthest if ended up from home was 30-40 miles) and of course everytime i forget my water bottle on the bus so the next day i have to search every bus on campus for it because i cant remember what bus i got on.

Another one is if im holding something in my hand/hands i forget about it and drop it to do something like scratch my head it ranges from paper to hundred dollar glass pieces

thats all for now

I got a C on a test in a class that I would have made an A in otherwise. When I got the test back, I knew the answer to the ones that I missed. I either wrote down the wrong answer (I have no idea why I did this) or made simple algebra mistakes. Crap.

I locked my keys in my car twice in the same day on one occasion. Once with the car running, as I had left it running to let the engine cool down after a pretty hard mountain run. The second time that day was at my friend's wedding reception.

I also forgot my brother once when I was in high school. Just completely forgot to stick around to take him home.

Same thing happened to me on the first geometry test this trimester. I knew the answers to the two questions I got wrong resulting in me not getting 100%. Thing is, I wrote only half of one of them and accidently put the wrong word in for the other. I was thinking the word to and put in a different one. I need to start going over my tests when I'm done...

A friend of mine was flying back to the Burbank airport, just blocks from her house, after visiting her parents in Washington. She got bumped from her flight, but caught a different one just a little later. When she arrived at the airport she got in a cab and told the driver what street she lived on. He didn't seem to know what she was talking about, so she gave directions. He still didn't know, so she explained in more detail. When he still had no idea, she got out angrily and got in a different cab. Same thing. When she got out of the second cab, she realized she had landed at LAX, not Burbank.

All my own bonehead stories are way too banal, but whenever I do something stupid, like accidentally knocking over a lamp, I instinctively think "Control Z! Control Z!"

Cuz I'm a geek.

Left a shopping mall, got in my truck ready to drive home. Had a horrid feeling that I lost my checkbook. Promptly ran back to the last place of business, retraced my steps, and found nothing. Called the bank to freeze the account. Then, as a last resort, checked in my truck to see if I may have put my check book in it's traditional 'safe and sound' storage place, TA DA!!!

There it was, safe and sound (after full panic for 45 minutes and freezing my account.)

:rolleyes: :rolleyes:

When i sat my GCSE's looking over my test after i had finished was one of the things i told myself to tell people taking tests.

I think i gained about 20% overall from checking back.

I have my fair share of bone-head moments, but they dont happen when sober, a lot of you sound like stoners...... :hiding:
