What is your most recent "I'm stupid" moments?

When I walk over to a room to get something, get to the room, and forgot what I came there for. This happens way more often than I'd like to admit.

Yesterday, at starbucks the barrista was telling me about a fireman who told him that they buried trash under the ground and that they built the place on top of it. I was only half listening. I ended up staring at him like a moron and then I said, "I don't know if I believe you." for SOME reason because I didn't know what else to say. He insisted it was true. I simply looked down and awkwardly walked away to sit down because I was getting a little weak in the knees. I felt really dumb and embarrassed the rest of the day and still get a little sick thinking about it. Wish he hadn't spoken to me.

Tried to buy my mom a game at Future Shop today, and my transaction kept getting declined. I checked the bank, tried using my M/C, kept getting declined. What the fuck.

Yup. Hitting "cancel" instead of "confirm".

My husband had spilled jalapeno juice in the fridge (it went everywhere) and he told me to wipe/rinse out anything that had jalapeno juice on it while he did the dishes. Well, I found a pack of hotdogs that had two missing that was covered so I immediately went over to the sink and rinsed off the packaging. My husband just stared at me and he asked "What are you doing?"

"Well, you told me to wash anything that had juice on it." I replied

"Yeah, but why would you make the packaging wet and put it back in the fridge. That's how mold starts. Put the hotdogs in a plastic baggie."

So I went and grabbed a ziploc bag and proceeded to put the wet plastic packaged hotdogs in the bag. My husband looked at me again and was like "Wtf are you doing? Take the hotdogs out of the packaging and put them in the baggie." I took them out of the packaging and zipped up the ziploc bag as soon as they were in there.

Well, I forgot to check the expiration date on the packaging before doing all of this and it turned out that the hotdogs had expired 3 days prior. So my husband throws them away and we basically wasted a plastic bag for nothing.

Got a cashier's check. Lost it. Waited. Had a new one written. Lost it.

Luckily I found it today, so I didn't have to do all of that again.

I made a pb & j sammich and plopped it down on the plate. I then proceded to throw the knife away and had to dig through garbage just so I didn't lose a knife. But that sammich was as good as a pb & j sammich can get.

I recently got a solid-state drive, and decided to reformat my old drive to use as a second drive for large files. Upon reformatting, I was surprised to see the old drive reporting as 1TB, instead of the 640gb it was supposed to be. I spent an hour just trying to figure out why Windows was screwing up like that. I couldn't find a satisfactory answer, so I let it go for a few days.

I revisited the issue today and remembered the 1TB drive I bought as backup last year. It dawned on me that this time last year, I decided to use the 1TB drive as my main at the last minute, with my old 640gb going into my external enclosure. As I removed the side of my computer and pointed the light inside, my idiocy was confirmed. I was troubleshooting a perfectly working drive, foiled by a younger me.

Pulling 7 straws from a bowl of smoothie. Such a mess.
