I'll go first.

Just a couple hours ago, washed and detailed the golf cart. Electric Yamaha. Turned on the garage stereo/CD - 'Chicago' tunes, nice background stuff. Cart in the garage - jumped in; key in and turned on, pushed the reverse switch and backed out onto the driveway. Stepped on parking brake and turned the key off.

Got the hose and bucket with soapy water. Started the job and in the background heard this irritating very high pitched sound. eeeeeeeeeee. There was a landscaper down the block, thought it may be his weedwacker. Washing for 15 minutes more and still...that sound. Landscaper still there. More minutes. Still, that darn high pitch. eeeeeeeee. Maybe the CD or stereo is going. Nope, it's AOK. Maybe it's the squeal a hose makes. nope. Tinnitus acting up again?... oh no. Landscaper now gone. This is crazy. Sound making skin crawl. eeeeeeeee. Now, more than 1/2 hour into the job I'm cleaning the dashboard -and- the cart's reverse switch is still on. eeeeeeeeeeeeeee. stop.

STUPID.

The stupidest thing I've done in a long time, was when I drove away from The Villages in February.
Some days I fear I'll never make it back.

A woman was trying to make a phone call to her home and was hitting the number keys on her keyboard as I was working nearby fixing a terminal. She looks at me and asks me why her phone, is not working.

Trying to be as polite as far possible, I looked at the phone and then the keyboard several times. She angrily demanded an answer as she seem to imply that my working on a terminal, had everything to do with her phone not working. I informed her it would work better, if she hit the keys on the phone.

She turned several colors of the rainbow in embarrassment.

True story.

While running a test on my husband's phone the other day to test the ringer, I used my phone to call his phone. When his phone rang I said to myself, who is calling now I'm trying to run a test on the phone.

That was dumb.

Stupidest thing I've ever done was at a T intersection. 1971. Looked left; looked right, pulled out, rear-ended the car waiting in front of me. (Where did he come from?)

Just a couple of months ago, my first time back to playing golf from having my shoulder fixed, I was playing with two other guys and one of them hit near a sand trap on the right side of the fairway. As I approached the trap, I saw the ball and as I turned around to motion to the guy as to where it was, I drove into the trap. Luckily, it was a shallow part of the trap and had the consistency of concrete slurry, like they always do, so I stepped on the gas and out the cart came. I got out and quickly raked the tire marks in the slurry, errrr sand. Kind of embarrassing for the Pro Shop Mgr. to do that.

my wife, well, really me, put a pencil behind <ahem> her ear. five minutes later, accompanied by hysterical laughter and the phrase you idiot, she pointed to my, er, her ear.

Drove cart onto our driveway and turned ignition key off. Stepped out of cart and saw it rolling backwards. Grabbed front windshield with both hands while trying to get my foot into cart to push down parking break. Leg not long enough. Starting screaming for Tom hoping he would hear me inside the house with doors and windows closed. He did, and was a bit agitated with me that I did something so stupid. A few hours later we laughed about it.
