What's the daftest thing you have ever done?
« on: June 11, 2012, 07:50:18 PM »
I can't say this is the daftest but still daft - I ate my roast beef dinner with Tarter Sauce on instead of Horse radish  ??? I kept thinking " I think they have change the recipe to this!!!!" Was half way through it when I cottoned on  :-[  My only excuse is that the jars are alike in the fridge  :)

My daftest thing, and it makes me cringe even now 30 years on, was to attempt to walk out of an Oxford Street "trendy" store through one of their giant plate glass windows... I can still hear the sound in my mind now - and the peals of laughter that followed...  :-[
I started out with nothing and I've still got most of it left.

I once was rudely awaken by Barry, early one morning, naked(me not him),  in an hotel room in Ibiza.
Apparently we'd gone to bed in the same room  :)
I'd got sleep walk mode on and knocked on our friends door, 3 rooms away down the corridor about 3.00am.
Barged in, and made my self comfy in their bed.

Only when Barry woke up at about 5.30am ish, and couldn't find me in the room, he rushed to our friends room for help.
Bless.  O:-)

I used to have one of those Phillips electric shavers with the floating rotary heads - about 30 years ago.
Two pin plug socket in the kitchen - in fact I think it was a 3 pin plug adapter in to 2 pin.
It had a curly wire which plugged in to the bottom of the shaver, which was a bit worn, and kept falling out.
So mid shave, after the cable had detached itself a few times, I thought "F@@k this", and bit the prongs together with the teeth - still plugged in to the mains!!
Luckily it did not touch me, but I had that momentary lapse before I realised what I had done!!

Many years ago I parked my car in town, completely forgot about it and caught the bus home.   ::)

Ohhh Aitch you have just jogged my memory.
At the age of 11yrs I had a new baby brother (Slacker you know him) The following year I was allowed to walk him in his pram just down the road to the shop where I parked him up outside whilst I went in.
I arrived back home to be asked by my mum where my brother was ??? OMG he was still outside the shop  :-[  :-[

While in sixth form, I was asked by my parents to collect my sister, 13 years my junior, from nursery, after I finished school.
Me and a friend decided to wag school and go into town instead.
On the way home, an hour later than usual, we got on the bus in town, only to see my parents sat there  on the bus, and for them to ask me who was picking my sister up.
This was in the days before  phones, etc, so the nursery had no choice to keep her back until I eventually turned up to collect her.

Not something that happened to me personally, but still funny after all these years.

A relative of mine was getting married and, at the reception, her now Father-in-law had asked for a cup of coffee - to which he then put some sugar in.............................EXCEPT it wasn't brown sugar in the ramekins - it was parmesan cheese. You really should've seen his face!!  :P

One (of my many) daftest things I've done was when I was a youngster (c8 years old). At the time my parents ran a country pub in Nottinghamshire and I used to 'help' some of the regulars in their daily working life. On this occasion I was 'helping' the window cleaner, all was going ok until at one house he was cleaning the upstairs windows and I placed the bucket of water at the bottom of his ladder............................................yes you guessed it, he didn't spot it and put his foot straight into the bucket of cold water on the way down!!

Needless to say I never went to work with him again  :(

I have done that several times myself.

In an earlier life I worked as a ceramic tiler. When tiling someones bathroom, the easiest way to tile the wall over the bath is to stand in the bath. While working, its useful to have all your bits and pieces at hand, including a bucket of water to wipe up your mess from the tiles, as you go. I would often place my bucket on the floor next to the bath, and frequently stepped out of the bath straight into the bucket.

I once owned a 3 litre reliant scimitar thats a surprise eh?
I lived at Mums at the time.
Anyway, it was misfiring, so I had it parked on Mums drive, bonnet up tinkering trying to find out what was causing the misfire. Drivers door open, engine running, Auto transmission in "N" for neutral.
I called it a day, couldnt find the fault - besides which the pub was calling - meeting the girlfriend at 9pm. So I half sat on drivers seat, one leg in the car the other not, engine still running, foot on brake, moved gear lever from N to P (Park) - or so I thought. However, inbetween N & P is R-Reverse,and I felt the car start to creep backwards. I was not sat in it properly as already mentioned so went to reapply foot brake, but hit the accelerator instead. Mums house was too close, and as the car shot back bye bye drivers door - ripped it off completely -smashed to various pieces of fibre glass.
Felt such a plonker!! Luckily a friend knew someone who made fibre glass body kits for Go Karts, so they scooped all the pieces up and managed to rescue the door for me all for the price of a couple of pints.
Still miss that car - it got stolen - never recovered :(
