Probably when I was painting the other night. No, I didn't drink my paint water.

I had dipped the bottom of my paintbrush into my paint in order to pop a big bubble (any of you who use GW paints know what I mean - when you shake it up, sometimes a big paint bubble forms on the rim). A few minutes later, I was skipping songs on my iPod using my right hand, and had as usual stuck my paint brush in my mouth while I did so. For some odd reason, I had this really nasty, bitter taste in my mouth...then I realized what I was sucking on. The gold paint I had just dipped my paintbrush into.

What did your mom teach you about putting random things in your mouth? You're more civilized than that.

Let a noob make a Garage Band CD for me so I didn't have to do it. Soooooo many mistakes

7 weeks ago I was out with my friends and we started jumping trenches and I jumped the second trench and injured my ankle.....we were in the middle of nowhere and I had to walk on my injured leg it took 45 minutes then I got a lift of my friends grandad got home my dad said I had to go to hospital.......4 hours I found out I broke it in 2 places.

Wasted post 8k on OT.

Woke up after sleeping for nearly a whole day, having the wrong idea what day it is and going to the FLGS to play, only to realize it was Saturday and they have a store tourney on the first Saturday of the month. I thought it was Sunday, which is open gaming day. It was like abduction missing time, but in reverse.

This happened to me a couple of months ago.

Me and my friend were doing a project at university. Our computer class is in the top floor (4th) of our school. So, it was a history project, which we were doing on the first floor. We went to the computer class in order to get some information. We climbed up the stairs only to realise the door was locked. So, off we go to the teachers' room to get the keys. It was on the first floor.

When we got the keys and climbed to the top floor again, we realised neither of us remembered our password. So we returned to the history class. Then we remembered we had left the project work into the top floor. We went there again, and returned the keys on our way down.

Then I remembered my password, and up we go again. Now, we had no keys, so we had to go back to the teachers' room. We went upstairs once again, and realised our project was in the history class.

Anything after 2am really

Coming back from overseas, getting drunk in a bar and then determining that it was my god-given right to smoke where I wanted to, and bemoaning the British condition of bending over and taking whatever laws are put in place. Then the bouncers descending on me like a pack of dogs on a piece of meat, and me playing the wise guy with one of them who is rumoured to take cocktails of drugs and has put several patrons in hospital. Lucky to escape with my nose and teeth intact I think.

Forgot how many tightly clenched ass-holes there were in the UK, and the people are all fething miserable

Wresteling with my girlfirend dog.25 stitces afterwards I regret it, Damned dog did not have a sense of humor

Currently have a cold/chest infection/man-flu going on and decided that having the heating on would help. That was 2 days ago but flat was not heating up, so went into kitchen to have another look, while studying the boiler and checking the times and everything were set, I realised I hadn't turned the actual heating on itself...

Felt pretty stupid but its now on and I'm warm. Still ill though.

Also ill here, ruined what was going to be a very productive Saturday for me, which doesn't happen often (being productive, I mean).

Biggest problem is I'm supposed to be starting new job this week in hospital as a HCA looking after the elderly, can't afford to be ill or infect the patients. Could be bad start.

I had to leave work early cuz I was ill as well. In my case, I knew I was ill yet worked myself next to passing out and vomiting thinking I could just power through. Man power! :d

I was in a church full of people and I was at the front with this woman and then I said, "I do."

Oh wait. The LAST stupid thing. I ran over a snake on my motorbike and it's guts splattered up on to my legs on the way to work. Try explaining reptile gore on your pants at 8am.

If you'd had your requisite spiky plating this would not have been an issue. Bring that vehicle up to standard and I'll refrain from telling our Lord.

Wait till you have some experience for that, the doctor my mom works for showed up to a hospital to check on some charts after deer hunting with blood still on his pants. He gets away with it because he's been doing this for over 20 years.

Checked how sharp my X-acto knife was with my thumb.

Waiting to do a hefty 80-mark chemistry AS level homework untill half past seven tonight, and it's in tomorrow. No sleep for me tonight. :(

Let myself get promoted on monday.

Also trying to figure how Astravans were actually the "fastest things on the road" well there is less weight with no back seats...

Was quite sarcastic to the boss via email this morning.

Flashman's Boss "Why hasn't this been done yet?! I realise there are issues, but it shouldn't be that hard to accomplish."

Flashman "I'm glad you think it shouldn't be that hard. I will now spend the rest of day thinking of the solution that has so far eluded me."

I'll have to remember that one
Actually he may respect the brass you're showing and call you in to talk about 5 year plans and business buzzwords. Keep us posted.

Lol, unfortunately, I work in the public sector and promotions don't quite work like that in Local Authorities. You basically have to wait until the guy above you either retires or dies before you can apply for their job. At least that's how it used to work. In today's era of cuts, they now delete the post and pass all the work down to you with no pay rise.

Ah in that case run and hide under some coats until its safe to come out, bosses have thick...skins (nearly said something else there) I'm sure they'll forgive you in time.

Waiting six months to finish a commission

Also, making three sandwiches for lunch because I thought I'd be hungry, and forgetting them all at home.

Its okay don't fret its easily done a guy at work came in one lunchtime and cursed the world because he'd forgotten the spoon to eat his yoghurt with. He came in the next day and cursed the world because he'd remembered the spoon but forgotten the yoghurt, we didn't laugh too much.

I posted sarcastic things on my social network page. Freinds have a hard time discerning sarcasm over the web and i enraged everyone. Had to post a retraction. Social fail.

I told my boss exactly what I thought of her son.

She has been trying to fire me for 5 months now. Winning!

Last week I was playing paintball with my friends in a relatively new and uncut field...

We learned the hard way to scout out areas before we play on them because I ran straight into a pothole disguised with tall grass as a small bush and my knee overextended as I put my weight on that leg...

Hurt like a !@#$ and I think I pulled a hamstring but lesson learned...
