Chatterbox: Down to Earth

This thread is

This thread is dedicated to... (drumroll, please)... The Ablsolute Greatest Facepalm Moments In History!!! :D *laughs really hard while remembering some*

 

Ok, so this thread is for posting time when you did something really embarrassing or asked a question/did something and later looked back and asked yourself why in the world you did/asked it. *blushes while remembering something really dumb I did once* Or you could post embarrassing stories you've written, or irrational fears you have/once had, anything funny that you don't feel unconfortable telling us. :) You don't have to post any DEEP DARK SECRET, or anything like that. Just a funny story from home or school or Chatterbox or Elsewhere or Everlost or… (I could go on and on)  *sly grin*

My irrational fear I had was this: Until I was about 8, I was terrified of those towels with animal faces that go over your head like a hood. I got one when I  turned 5, and it had a bunny's face on it. I cried and cried and cried because for some strange reason, my 5 year old self reasoned that any towel with a face on it was evil. Yep. *facepalm* :)

 

So...There you go, I guess. :)

Great idea for a thread! xD Not sure if mine counts because I was so little, but whatever.

 

Anyway, when I was three, I was playing around on the floor and found a metal hairpin. There also happened to be an electrical socket nearby. Being my rational three-year-old self, I reasoned that of course it would be a good idea to stick a little metal thing into the outlet, what else could it be for? You can guess what happened next. Very smart. *facepalm*

 

P.S. Whenever my friends and I are talking about embarrassing things we've done, one of my friends will say this: "You want to know the most stupid and embarrassing thing I've ever done? I was walking in a park, and this man said 'hi' to me, and do you know what I said? I said 'hi' back." Then she bursts out laughing and we ask her why that's so funny, and she just says "I don't know." Yeah, she's a very interesting person... :)

This isn't so much facepalm as just plain stupid, but it's funny.

So it was last summer, kay? And my friends and I were sitting on the back porch drinking milk, because that's what you do when there's nothing else. We were REALLY REALLY bored, and I had run out of milk, so I take my older sister's (yeah, the killjoy's out here too)  cup and pour her milk into mine. And I drank it. This led to a spirited argument as to whether that was gross or not, and a series of superficial insults. 

Later on, I'm still out of milk, and I don't feel like going into the house to get more.  I take my sister's cup (again) and attempt to pour the milk into my own cup. The only problem is, my sister does not have the good sense to fill up her cup again so people can steal her milk for their own amusement. A tiny drop goes plop! into my cup, and I just LOSE IT. Result:

Me: You have NO MILK! /chucks (plastic) cup at sister/

Friend: Why? Is that a problem?

Me: Of COURSE! The only reason she should have milk at all is so I can steal it!

Yeah. I know.

So at our middle school, our assistant principals call tables to get into the lunch line....

 

Assistant Principal: Tables 3, 45, 65, and 34 may go to line 2.

AP: Table 45.

AP: Table 45.

AP: TABLE 45.

AP: TABLE 45! GET IN LINE!

Table 45's Inhabitants: *get in line*

AP: Sit down, Table 45! I didn't call you!

My table: *laughs*

Me: *facepalm*

 

Note: I don't remember the actual table number. But oh well, what does it matter?

Once, I picked up paper, and said it smelled like... get ready for it... paper!

Another time, I shook seltzer water.
