    Last night I had my surface tethered to my phone and wasn't thinking, so managed to burn through over half of my monthly data allowance because I didn't think to check the youtubes settings. It was streaming at 1080p for an hour. Yesterday was the first day of the data allowance period.

    Oh well, I'll use the work phone and not youtube things. Sorted!

    HD porn can be a real pain in the wallet...

    Five minutes ago I sat on one of the dining room chairs and the legs broke.

    Oh also yesterday I was going to meet with a friend and some of his friends at a place that sells board games and where you can play board games but also has a restaurant attached to it. We said 5 so I got there on time and waited about half an hour before figuring they got there early and saw how crowded it was (there was some kind of Magic tournament going on) and decided to go somewhere else. When I got home I had a message saying they were late picking him up and I guess they got there a little while after I left.

    So my other dumb thing is I don't have a cellphone. I can't afford a cellphone, but that's kind of beside the point.

    My dumb thing for today is laundry. Once you start folding laundry it never, ever ends.

    It's a God damned perpetual laundry machine in my house.

    A lundrian hydra if you will.

  • OmnipotentBagelOmnipotentBagel floof Registered User regular
    Goddamn it, I had successfully forgotten about having to do laundry today. I mean, it's probably good you reminded me, but now I'm mad I gotta do laundry.

    Speaking of laundry: I was really impressed with how our new washing machine span most of the moisture out of the clothes at the end of the cycle, until Mrs Rhesus pointed out I'd not actually started the program, just pressed the wrong button, walked off, then came back an hour later and hung the clothes up.

    I dropped my keys and tried to catch them in midair and hit myself in the balls

    I tried to catch a glass once, as it fell out of a cupboard I had just opened.

    I have a scar on my hand as testament to the stupidity of that endeavour...

    I once was getting a glass out of the cupboard, knocked another one with the back of my hand and somehow, somehow managed to put the first glass back on the shelf and pluck the second one out of midair before it hit the counter.

    I don't know how the hell I managed it, I'm normally a pretty malcoordinated guy but it was amazing and even better a housemate saw me do it and the look on his face was spectacular.

    Honestly I don't see how anything I can do can beat it.

    Off the top of my head: not just once, but on multiple occasions, I have spent a considerable amount of real live money on items in a text RPG.

    The way this usually goes for me is that I'll tap the second glass with the back of my hand, panic-jolt my hand in any direction, drop the first one, go to catch it, knock the second one, both glasses fall and break and my stupidity is the sole cause of all the destruction.

    What I'm saying is that there's a timeline out there where you were horribly maimed by just all the glass.

    I went to work and was bored off my ass
    I was so used to busting my ass pulling out the contents of a trailer by myself downstacking the contents by myself and then doing 4 isles by myself.
    I just two the 2 isles now and got talked to last night about how I now just hope isle to isle finishing them off and going to the next one.

    I fucked up my shoulder over the weekend

    I have no idea how, mind you, but I'm assuming it was pretty dumb

    I just woke up yesterday, got out of bed, and my shoulder hurt

    And then it hurt a lot

    Like, hurt because it had an arm attached to it, and that arm was way too much weight to bear, hurt to breathe because it shifted my muscles slightly, that sort of hurt

    Luckily I didn't have anything strenuous to do and still had some leftover painkillers from when I got my teeth caved in (a year ago to the day)

    But oh man this is terrible

    I dumped a box of expired mashed potatoes down the drain. I had to pull and clean the pipes, lucky they got stuck in the catch and didn't make it in to the wall.

    On Sunday I decided to take a ride through South Philly on a bicycle that was way too big for me.

    Long story short, I wiped out a few times, and I am now in a world of cuts, bruises and pain.

    I played dodgeball yesterday, and tried to dodge a ball by falling to the ground, which aligned the dodgeball perfectly with my balls.

    I'm really bad at dodgeball.

    In front of my brand new students at a brand new high school on my first day of teaching, I face planted while playing kick ball. It was preceded by that long declining run you do where you just know you're going to fall over but keep somehow propelling yourself forward in order to delay the inevitable

    So that's a potential really dumb move.

    Sunday I took our tupperware of sugar from the shelf and realized it was getting chunky and I needed it to be granular for the recipe. So I shook it up.

    Only the lid wasn't on properly and I basically exploded sugar upward and all over the kitchen counters, floor, and myself. It was in my hair and down my shirt and everywhere.
