My "you idiot" moment this week - Empty Closets - A safe online community for gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgendered people coming out

beckyg · 4th Jun 2008, 08:18 PM

You ever have one of those times you could just crawl in a hole and stay there? Well I had a blind woman call the PFLAG infoline this week looking for a ride to the meetings. After putting out a feeler hoping somebody might volunteer to pick her up, with no luck, I said I would do it. What did I say to her? "Just look for the green van". She reminded me AGAIN, she's blind but I could honk the horn when I pulled up in front of the building.

What an idiot I am!!!

pirateninja · 4th Jun 2008, 08:19 PM

Ok, that is officially brilliant. Thanks for putting a smile to my face

LOVEjames · 4th Jun 2008, 08:21 PM

I repeat stories to people because I can never remember who I've already told it to. Like, if I had a great experience the other day, I'll tell whoever's on my msn list, but in another couple days when I'm talking to someone, I'll just start with the story again 'cuz I don't think that I told them, but then a little bit way through, they're like, "... James, you told me the other day." - it gets annoying sometimes.

So yeah, I've been there.

Hoppip · 4th Jun 2008, 08:21 PM

Oh, I'm sorry! Well, accidents happen, you know.

Ummm... My 'idiot' moment for the week...

I dunno. I did print out a strategy guide for a video game, and I STILL can't get past the part I'm at. I'm so confused. It's sad...

But that's a bad one.

One time a couple years ago, I was a teacher's assistant for my science teacher, and she wanted me to go make copies. So I accidentally put '100' for the copy amount...

And...

Well, 100 I got. Luckily no teachers were in the lounge. I just through the papers in the trash can because I was so nervous and scared.

I only needed 9.

James that typically happens to people MUCH older than you.

LOVEjames · 4th Jun 2008, 08:29 PM

I live with my grandmother, I think a lot of it has rubbed off on me. xD

Same here! I think it happens to the best of us. Especially the talkative ones like you and I.

And I realized that my main conversational topics are things that have happened to me in the past week, so that's where it comes from for me.

Beckyg you are HILARIOUS!!!

SamAlex728 · 4th Jun 2008, 08:49 PM

I'm sorry Becky but OMG I had a 'roflmfao' moment when I read that.

LOL! Happens to me too!

I dunno what moment I could have, but usually, I end up forgetting what I just did a few hours ago or especially when me and my friends go out, I forget what movie we just watched right after it

Though I end up remembering it after I while!

**Gerry** · 5th Jun 2008, 01:18 AM

Poor Becky! Lol. At least she reminded you she was blind or else there may have been a problem then. I think everyone has those moments once in a while.

Defraction · 5th Jun 2008, 02:30 AM

Haha, sounds like something I would do.

Usually I will talk about something, and if I say a lot of things I tend to confuse myself, and name something else.

Err...

Well for example, if I was talking about a murder story, I'd swap the murderer and the victim around without realising it. It's quite funny sometimes but it annoys me, because I can see myself doing it at the wrong time.

I think it's mainly because I think while I talk, and I often stop speaking to think, and then when I resume speaking I end up talking about what I'm thinking about.

I'm a noob.

Daniel · 5th Jun 2008, 02:55 AM

Wow...

Well at least you got through it!

Idiot moment here-woke up very hungover on monday (Don't ask) and then proceeded to walk down 4 flights of stairs. On the last 14 steps, I missed one, landed wrong, tripped over my sandal, and fell face first the rest of the way.

Moral of the story, don't wear sandals whilst hungover.

Trumpetplyer23 · 5th Jun 2008, 05:34 AM

My idiot story: I was running through my house because I had to get outside quickly, and I came to my back door (its a screen door with a little push handle) and I went to hit the handle and keep running because I hadn't slowed down, I missed that handle and proceeded face first into my screen door.

Beebo · 5th Jun 2008, 07:24 AM

Omg... I Literally Have Tears In My Eyes Laughing!!! From Reading This Conversation Between Becky And James... This End Line Topped It Off!!!

No need to apoligize. That's why I shared it.

Hopefully this woman thought it was funny too.

Beebo · 5th Jun 2008, 07:51 AM

I'm sure she did.

Hoppip · 5th Jun 2008, 09:40 AM

My friend Kelly and my other friend Leslia get REALLY annoyed by each other (which is beautifully ironic because they are so alike in so many ways).

And I've called BOTH of them each other's names.

"Hey Le- er, Kelly"

Yeah. Kelly got REALLY pissed when I did that.

crimsonarcher · 5th Jun 2008, 10:48 AM

eh, don't worry too much. becky.
I do it all the time!
for example, I hugged my mom, when i found out 2 seconds later that she wasn't my mom, just another woman. Pretty embarassing, i must say!

interstella · 5th Jun 2008, 10:49 AM

rofl, really. this has just made my day
