I'm dumb sometimes.... ok, a lot of the time. I know I should do things, yet I don't. For instance, last Sunday (over a week ago) I woke up with a super sore throat, I knew strep throat was going around, I knew I had it, but I still didn't go to the doctor. Monday and tuesday sucked, with the rest of the week not being that great. Finally I went on Saturday, when I was pretty much better. Now I got the call today, yep it was strep throat, I still have to take the penicillin, but of course I got to suffer though the whole thing only because I'm dumb.
 
There are many other instances of me being dumb, I'll add more later to this thread, what are some of yours?

Well I have some really blonde moments:
"The paint can't dry if it's wet"
"usually 2 solid lines means that you can't cross from either side.."
 
There are tons more. I did pretty much the exact thing you did Joe, back in January. It took a week for me to go in and I ended up having to go on 3 different types of antibiotics because it kept coming back. I had it for about a month.
 
edit: by "it" I mean strep

I'll continue,
 
I went to the Chiropractor for the first time ever yesterday, it was long overdue. About 3 1/2 years ago I crashed hard off a jump in the park (don't try to clear a spine like a table and go 20 feet too far) and bashed my head off the snow pretty good. Since then my neck has sucked, and I didn't do anything about it. So now it's time to finally try and fix it, and hopefully my lower back as well. Apparently I pronate a bunch on my left foot too, so that's not helping anything either. Fun times.
 
More to come

I often forget where I put my shit. IE: I thought I lost my phone at on a plane from when I touched down in Edmonton after flying back from Van City, when really, I left it in my carry on suitcase.
 
And I still have to get my shoulder checked out by a proper doctor after doing weird shit to it 4 years ago. *sigh*

I talked the doc in France out of giving me surgery...All because I wanted more mobility in it.... and 4 years later I still manage to mess up that stupid shoulder. 
 
I had this fear of missing my flight when I was in Germany.. mainly cause I almost missed the one leaving france... so Cathy and I set up 4 alarms.  And somehow, with all the education we have between us, we managed to set ALL four alarms for the time we had to LEAVE, and not the time we had to get up.   This resulted in Cathy and I runing threw town with large suitcases, snowboard and packs (I had been living in europe for 7 months so had a ton of crap)
 
I jumped off a playground structure when I was 9ish, and fell on a bolt that was sticking out... ended up with a shit load os stiches in my leg. it's gross, but I refuse to get plastic surgery. scars= good stories :)

If you don't owe, you don't have anything to worry about, if you do. That's gonna suck your looking at  6% late filing penalty now, and an additional 1% every full month its late.

Damn...sorry I'm still in work mode. (I work at the CRA)

Oh and to contribute to the thread:

This past Saturday I had to shoot a wedding. I forgot the battery pack to one of my flashes and had to drive 160km/hr to my house and back to grab it and come back to the wedding before it started. I ended up making it back 10 min. before the guests started showing up.

Oh, we know the abuse he puts up with, hell you're even flaunting a Husband-Beater shirt in your avatar!
 
I do stupid shit all the time, just last week I left the water running in the kitchen sink for about 10 minutes and had water running everywhere.  Takes awhile for the hot water to come on so I was letting it run and then got a phone call...the funny part was that after I got off the phone I went and sat down in my office for another few minutes before the HOLY SHIT! moment.  Took forever to clean up the water, not to mention that it also soaked through the roof of the people downstairs and they had to re-drywall it.  Whoops SORRY!!
 
Don't even get me started on taxes.
I came here to do 2 things: Kick Ass and Spout Cliches

i brought mine in yesterday and the accountant started to laugh at me lol looks like im going to be paying a few penalty's!

When i was 5 i threw a rock at a tree and it bounce back and cut open my forehead, still have the scare.

When i was 18 i broke my arm, new it was broke, my dad(worked in the medical field for over 30 years) knew it was broke, and yet i still didnt go to the hospital, few years later and my arm is pretty jacketed up at the wrists, makes some good conversation though haha

When i was 15 i was playing basket ball and was hit in the face by some guys knee when he went for a jump shot, it cracked 2 of my teeth and chiped the front one all together, i got the cracked ones fixed, same with the cavitys i had, but didnt get the chipped tooth fixed hahaha

on friday on the way from my lawyers to my new house........i lost the only key to the house.(ended up breaking in through the basement to grab one of the extra keys they left on the counter, i still havent told my family/roomate about this hahaha)

I locked my keys in my car... in a gas station along with my cell phone, wallet, and everything else I hold dear. Everyone was pissed. I had to get to work 45 minutes from then, and my mom had the spare set of keys over in the East end of Ottawa (about 45 mins away without traffic), and my dad was walking out the door to go to a doctor's appointment when I called. He had to bring a coathanger and do it that way. He was late for his appointment, and I was 5 minutes late for work. Needless to say we keep the spare set of keys in the cupboard now.

Sigh, I have a whole lifetime of doing dumb ass things.....
 
the very first time I hired a dvd from the vid shop, I spent ages trying to work out how to 'rewind it' before I took it back.....
Last season, we drove down to the snow in my car and I only had 18psi in the tyres....
The first time I got on a T bar, instead of sliding it between my thighs, I tried to mount it like a horse so's my board was pointing sideways....
I didnt close a bank account and now the fees have mounted up and I owe a couple hundred bucks...
and dont mention taxes...

was gonna go check out niagra falls with some friends while i was in toronto.  figured wed be smart and get a bus to the casino so it was cheaper than the greyhound plus u get a free lunch. 

problem was we cought the bus to the wrong casino 2 hours in the wrong direction from toronto.  all worth it tho to see the look on the concierges face when we asked him how long it would take to walk to the falls from the casino.  he had to try n hold back his laughter enough to explain to us that it was 4 hours away by car on the other side of toronto.

yeh that was pretty stupid

Boy, where to start.... Im such an over-achiever when it comes to blatant acts of stupidity.....

Okay.

Just recently I was soldering a broken pipe in a ceiling. Safety glasses? Yeah...what are those. Dropped molten metal directly into my eyeball. Couldnt see too well for a few weeks and I still have the burn mark on the white part of my eye to boot.

Some of you might remember this one (because you were there... Dan I'm looking in your direction). Anyway, I was riding the creek in Whistler for the first time. In spite of Jace explicitly telling me to watch out for the holes, I fell in one anyway... right down to the creek bed. Good times.

I am a complete idiot when it comes to remembering shit. The other day, I hiked way up above Timberline`s top lift (Palmer) on Mt. Hood up to my turn around point. In the process of switching from snow shoes to my board, I left my cell phone in it`s padded case on the snow, put my heli pack on and rode away. I was halfy back to the Palmer chair when I realized what I had done. This phone is uninsured and expensive so I got to hike bak up to get it. GRRRRRR!
 
I instruct and my favorite trick is to drive all the way up to Mt. Hood Meadows only to discover I left my very nice, very comfortable snowboard boots at home by the fireplace. All I can say is I REALLY have empthy for my students in those damn rental boots!!!

when the gas light comes on in the car indicating a near empty tank....I just keep driving.  I like to live on the edge.  yesterday the car shut off in the middle of the road b/c I just didn't want to buy more gas.
