I would like you to think of a time you did something silly, what springs to mind?

Asked by ucme (50047points) April 26th, 2020

I took Oscar our 14wk old Border Collie pup out for his walk this afternoon.
Put on his harness, checked I had poop bags & off we popped.
After around 20mins or so I began to feel a little discomfort in my feet & so imagine my surprise when I looked to see I was still wearing my slippers! :D

Your turn, but only if you want to.

Ha ha! Now that is fancy!
The one that never fails to come to mind is when was doing housework and whistling this song.
I jumped from the top of the basement stairs to get down there quicker and smacked my forehead on the overhang.
As I crumpled to the floor, my whistling faded out just like in a cartoon when things go black!
I have also gone out with the pocket of my t shirt on my back and a lint roller stuck on the shoulder of my coat.Like a parrot. That was recent

Silly or just plain stupid?

I had been to an electronics store, probably around 2008. I had bought some specialized (at that time) cable connector that I couldn’t find any place else. (Now, 2020, they’re everywhere)

I went to a fast food place on the way home, and then to get gas. While I was filling my tank, I decided to clean the mess in my car, so I gathered all sorts of papers and bags and cups, and threw them into a pretty good sized dumpster.

You guessed it – I ended up throwing out the special cable that I had gone out of my way to purchase a half hour before. And I was not about to jump into the dumpster.

I recorded, on a cassette the sound of a tuba playing—about ten minutes into the cassette tape—so that the sound of the tuba would start about ten minutes after the play button was pushed.

The next morning, before my girlfriend and I were out of bed, I put the cassette player in the bathroom, pushed play, and turned the bass up as high as it would go.

When the throbbing tuba started, it sounded more like something from The Amityville Horror as the loud tuba music started playing from the bathroom.

Pretending to be scared myself, I told my girlfriend to wait there, and I’d go check it out.

I turned off the cassette player and told my girlfriend it was just that new “tuba toothpaste”—that I forgot to put the cap back on.

@lucillelucillelucille The lint roller parrot on your shoulder almost had me crying with laughter.

I’m so glad you told that story @ucme. I go out in my slippers accidentally pretty regularly.

The first silly thing that comes to mind is a few Halloweens ago, before we went out, my friend and I brushed each others teeth. Thoroughly. I was dressed fully as Prince and he was dressed as some white rapper with corn rows. It was so ridiculous, we laughed so hard the whole time, toothpaste flying everywhere. One of my fondest memories.
