Stupid Moments in Life a.k.a You failed

[Alpha-neos 46]

So a random thought, or should I say memory, had just occurred to me...

I sucked at Pokemon when I was a kid.

No matter what I did, I never could beat the ones on the gameboy color.

Basically here's how it went....

I sat down and played yellow; my brother refused to let play gold or silver until I beat the others. So, I played the game, I did pretty much fine. Til I made it to a gym leader. this is where I suddenly lost my intelligence....I believe I was battling Brock, and I got knocked out pretty quickly...

I think I spent quite some time trying to figure that out and I never did.

Years later! I realized something....pikachu is weak against rock

Because you know, you get him at the beginning! Plus I liked pikachu because of the show! Thought he was the strongest too!

And it took me until I was 13 to figure out the problem....even though my brother had a Pokemon MANUEL book which tells you about that...which I refused to read....

Very stupid right? Well, that doesn't happen now since you know, I'm older now, so its pretty easy(for the most part).

So, my question to you all is, ever had one of those days or moments.

I was tired of my dog always slipping out of his collar, so I tightened the leash and hooked it to a fence pole....... I woke up without a fence.

I kept putting off cleaning my room because I'm a slob.  Today I twisted my ankle tripping over a pile of shoes.

I already mentioned this in another recent post, but one time, when I was very little, I wanted to surf. I lived in Arizona though, and in that state, oceans are nonexistent. I had to improvise. Instead of a surfboard, I got one of those long body pillows, and instead of an ocean, I used the hardwood floors of my house. I guess I didn't really understand the concept of surfing too well, because I planned on jumping into the air, and quickly throwing the pillow between my body and the ground before gravity could kick in. The inevitable happened: I messed up and ended up slamming my head against the floor. Fortunately, I didn't get a concussion. Just some bruises and a black eye.

That's hilarious. You just made my day.

Okay, so I literally am so oblivious to everything. My mom could ask me for a cup. No joke, and I go into the kitchen and open up every cabinet and state right at the cups and completely miss them. It happened today. I was staring at the cups, shut the cabinet and told her I couldn't find it. WUT. I felt so stupid.

 

Also when my family went to some mountain in Washington, there was a bunch of snow and I was running towards my sister with a snowball, but my foot fell into a hole in the ground and I smacked face first into the snow. -_-

 

Edit: I just remembered these. Ohmygod. I have three more great stories.

 

1. I was taking care of some house down the street a few year ago while the owner was away and they had a trampoline. So I took advantage of my powers and would go jump on it. Well I was doing front flips with my sister and I accidently split my pants.

 

2. When I was in second grade we had to write a miny story or something. Well mine was apparently about some cowboy, who met this woman and he spent the night at her house, slept in her bed with her, woke up, took a shower, and had ice cream for breakfast. My mom was so embarrased. The way I wrote it sounded so perverted, she booked out of the classroom so fast.

 

3. A couple years ago for spring break my family went to visit my relatives in Missouri and we were at Burger King. I went to throw away my trash and I ended up making all the garbage fall out of the can and end up all over the floor. I ran out without saying anything.

I pronounced the word 'wafer' wrong until one day I was out grocery shopping with my then fiancee and she picked up a box of 'Nilla Wafers. 

 

Me: "Oh I love 'Nilla  wah - fers"

Her: pauses staring at me. "What?"

Me: "I like wah - fers"

Her: "You like ... wah - fers?"

Me: "Yeah? Why are you laughing"

 

 

 

 

To this day she brings that up every time I start winning an debate.

I have also lost car keys while the car was still running, and sunglasses that were in my hand.  It's a gift.

Holy crap. O___O

Your dog is pretty strong.

Ouch, I know the feeling.

I tripped over a toy, and fell another toy....which resulted in me having a painful ache in my heart. >____>

Wasn't too serious though. I'm just lucky it was a sharp or edged object.

Man that is horrible...I don't even remember getting hurt like that before in the past. o___o

I'm going to say this now....

You must of had the most interesting childhood ever.

And I really mean that. Also all of that was pretty funny. XD

Lol XD

I remember one time, me and my family were sitting in the kitchen talking.

And I had commented about my older brother's picture when he was younger.

I had said he was wearing pantyhose....everyone looked at me confused.

Took about a few minutes before they figured out what I was talking about.

Apparently their called overalls...who knew....

 

 

I have also lost car keys while the car was still running, and sunglasses that were in my hand.  It's a gift.

 

Did you ever find them?

And I question how something in your hand disappears all of a sudden. o___o

That's just really weird...

The one moment where I failed most was when I applied for university based on what my parents wanted me to do instead of something that didn't go against almost every fiber of my being, but that is not in line with this thread's (hopefully) more light-hearted type fails (making that first sentence a moment in which I failed  ).

 

My most classic derps include looking for my glasses while wearing them, trying to adjust my glasses while not wearing them, and using a flashlight to look for a flashlight (in my defense it was, obviously, late and I wasn't thinking properly).

[AppleLover 146]

I was like six years old and playing with a metal folding chair against the wall. Well, I got to thinking about what would happen if I put my legs through the hole. Well, I ended up acidentally folding up the chair with me still in the hole, and the chair folded up almost reached past my head but the back part of it was against the back of my head, the chair folded up, and i fell, seat against my legs, back part against my the back of my head, and landed on the wall. Thing was, I got stuck there, and everyone was asleep. I began to cry for a minute before I think I blacked out. Because when I woke up I was in my bed, and everyone was really nice to me. 

[Lunar Song 8]

This is mostly recent actually, my fail? Thinking I could handle being in an open relationship with so many partners.. Turns out I was wrong..

[ScaleWrangler 122]

I was goofing around showing off infront of a girl and ran in to a tree, made a right idiot out of myself and she never let me forget it 

 

 to this day i maintain that it was a very windy day and the tree was blown into my path

[NotoriousSMALL 1,984]

I tried explaining something but I kept accidentally stuttering. God, I felt so weird.

I don't even know what to say to that. XD

Man, kinda reminds me when I got my head stuck between a latter...buuuuut its nothing compared to what happened you. o-o

Wait..how is that even possible? o___o

Do people actually do that????

The tree must of hated you if it moved in your path. XD

I was showing off to a girl once.

Ended up getting a basketball thrown in my face, which somehow made a basket...

At least she thought I was funny...for a little kid....

Something like that happened to me once....

Except, instead of stuttering...I was mispronouncing words and might of just broke a few rules of grammar..

If that's even possible. O___o

I hit myself in the face with a baseball bat when I was ten.

 

Sports just don't like me, guys.

[boiteporte 591]

Well, one time, I was quad-biking, and decided to show off my super skills. So, I went at max speed. However, there was an abrupt turn which I did not see. I hit the wall straight on and the Quad flipped over and I got trapped underneath.

 

Humiliating....

[AppleLover 146]

I hit myself in the face with a baseball bat when I was ten.

 

I did that exact same thing once. Except I was 14, the saem age I am now. And i was spinning the bat around, getting ready to hit when it clocked me in the head. Was seeing double for a minute. No one let me live it down till the end of school a few months later.

I tried to make a grilled cheese sandwich at my friend's house earlier this morning, and I failed in every single way possible. I guess I just suck at cooking. xD

 

Firstly, I almost accidentally burned myself before I even started cooking. My friend had used the pan maybe only 5-10 minutes or so before I did. I didn't realize it didn't have a safety handle, so I just grabbed it. Thankfully, it wasn't hot enough to burn me.

 

Then I tried to put the sandwich in the pan, but both pieces of bread were completely out of alignment. Like, if they were any further out of alignment it would have been two pieces of bread laying next to each other in the pan (if it had been big enough).

 

I actually did alright at flipping it over, and I managed to align the bread a bit more, but at this point a bunch of cheese had spilled out into the pan.

 

However, I then leave it on the stove way too long so by the time I pull it out it's all stuck and everything. I ended up having to throw one of the pieces of bread away because it was burned so badly, so I just ate the other one. 

 

It had some cheese on it, so that's something.

[Everleaf 541]

Holy crap. O___O

Your dog is pretty strong.

 

 

My thoughts exactly to that comment XD

 

 

that is one strong dog. 

Umm I can't think of anything please PM me when you give me a idea. XD

[Professor Annabella 330]

I was playing with duct tape when I was 5. I duct taped my arms together, and face planted on my garage floor

[EllieTheFuzzy 23]

I once tried to install a graphics card into a PC that was turned on.

 

big bolt of electricity came at me from the PSU.

[iceestarz 5,764]

I just remembered another great story. This happened when I was in 3rd grade.

 

Well there were these older high school jerks who lived up the street in the court. And my god me and my sister plus my 3 neighbor friends hated them. They we're complete douches. I remember we rode our bikes to the park and the meanie heads decided to walk right in our way as we rode back to our houses. Of course they told us to move, which one of my neighbors being the idiot he was started giving him lip. Yeah...didn't end well for my friend. They lifted him off his bike, threw him on the ground and then threw his bike on top of him...

 

Anywho so we all hated these guys and I was riding my bike around the street with my sister and I could've sworn I saw them coming. So instead of just cooly riding away I decide to completely wig out. I started panicking and screamed out "THE GANGSTAS ARE COMIN! THE GANGSTAS ARE COMIN!" I didn't see a bump in the road and well i caught so much air, hit the ground and skinned my knees all the while my bike did some crazy flip and landed on me.

 

I still laugh whenever I think about this.

[AppleLover 146]

I just remembered in second grade. Oh My god it was so embarrasing. Me and like three other girls were takn out of class every day, I never knew why, and we were takin to the library. This one girl Jessica had a sweater on and she had the zipper halfway. Well because I was hell bent on things being even back then I grabbed her zipper and pulled it up for her. I swear to god as soon as I was done she looked at me like I was a the weirdest kid ever, and I was so embarassed. Immediataly afterwords I was like "Shit that ain't what people do!" (I didn't actually swear it's for dramatic effect). And the worst thing was that we were takin to the library EVERYDAY. She never looked at me the same way again. 

[The Crimson Cross 7,532]

*ahem* 

 

I may or may not have mentioned this in another post before, but I once touched a hotplate to see if it was "on". And can you guess what happened? That's right. I got burned... Failtastic, I'd have to say... 

It's the stupidest thing I've ever done in my entire life.
