The stupidest thing I've ever done?
OKay, this happened a couple of years ago, but it made me laugh out load when I though about it today...One day I got in my car and was driving to work when I tried to play the CD in my CD player. Damn...it wouldn't play nor would it eject. Now this totally sucks because I used to commute an hour each way to work and the radio pretty much blows! So every few days I would try and "fix" it (you know, slap it around, kick it, push all the buttons numerous times like I was trying to unlock the secret code of getting my CD to play) until about a month later I got fed up and made an appointment for the dealership to fix it. I had to leave extra early for work, drop off my car and wait for the shuttle to take me to work. Total pain in the ass.
*ring ring*
Me- "Hello"
The Mechanic - "Hi Summer, this is Ryan from the Ford dealership and I was looking at your stereo. Now, what exactly is the problem your having?"
Me - "Well, the CD player won't play or eject the CD (duh?)"
The Mechanic - "Hmmmm. Well, it works fine for me. Did you realize that there wasn't a CD in the CD player when you brought in your car?"
Me - "Shut up...Are you kidding me?! Oh my god. How embarrassing..."
Doh! Yep, that's right I went through all that trouble for over a month without actually checking to see if there was a CD in there. Nice. I'm sure I'm still the butt of a joke or two down at the dealership...

You beauty. Alright, now I've had my laugh for the day.
Thanks (and sorry for laughing at you)!
The phrase dumb blonde springs to mind ;)
Only joking

Hmmm... I'm not sure if being called the "Tokyo-Twin" of someone that, um, un-technical, is very flattering...
Ok, I lied I've done even MORE stupid things, like the time I went to my *old* office, sat at my *old* desk, and the guy whose seat it *now* was turns up 10mins later.... "Umm, DWR, your department moved to the *other* office building? "
Oops.
haha...The funny thing is that I *am* technically inclined. It was just one of those points in my life where I was so busy and had so much on my mind that I instantly accepted defeat from the damn CD player. Kind of the old, "Oh GREAT, of course my CD player would break today. Could anything else go wrong?!"
