In high school I was working in a radiology department's dark room developing x-ray films.  The films are stored in lightproof  cabinets so they aren't exposed to light and ruined when the regular lights is one.  I got in a hurry one day and turned the light on to leave.....before closing the cabinet.  I ruined somewhere in the neighborhood of $5000 in x-ray films.


I shuddered when I read this, I'm in school taking radiology and another of the students did exactly this last week in class. OMG the shit hit the fan. She was almost thrown out of the program.

Note it was not me.


lol, I probably would have been thrown out but I was universaly loved by the whole department and it was sort of covered up.  The lesson here, it pays to feed the department well....my secret weapon, chocolate chip and honey roasted cashew cookies.

I think I love you. I don't say that often but I think in this situation (ie the chocolate chip with honey roasted cashews) I can make an exception....will that utterance get me the recipe???

One day, the kitchen sink had a problem with the drain pipe......hubby was head and shoulders under the sink, taking the pipe apart. We had a bowl sitting underneath to catch the drips...after he disconnected the pipe, he reached back, handing me the bowl of dirty water, and said, "Empty this." .............and, purely by force of habit, without thinking.......can you guess? *L*

I think he has to have a strong masochist streak, to have stayed married to me this long.

Status: offline 		How about ditzy?

Years ago, I was sitting in my kitchen with a boyfriend of a few weeks and my two new-to-me roommates.  My boyfriend, Rod, and I decided that we were going to take a hot bath together, but we were concerned about running out of hot water.  I pulled out a giant pot and filled it with water and put it on the stove to heat up. 

My two roommates, my boyfriend and I were sitting around the kitchen table chatting while we waited for the water to heat up.  A minute or two after I put the water on, Rod leaned back and dipped his fingers into the water.  A funny look crossed his face.  "Hon," he said gingerly, "this water is hot."  My roommates looked at me oddly.

"Right, that way the water will heat up faster."  I was rather pleased with myself -- it seemed obvious that you would want the water to heat as fast as possible.

He paused for a minute, exchanging glances with Dave and Carl.  "But the reason why you were heating water was because you were afraid of running out of hot water to begin with."

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh ... that was a hard one to live down.

Cut through the cable on the mower and riverdanced across the back garden (kids enjoyed that one).
banged a nail through a water pipe and didnt know where the stopcock was.
Went on a first date to the cinema wearing my first pair of high heeled boots, fell down the step and snapped both heels off.
kickstarted my bike, lost my balance, and it fell on my ex's pride and joy with me sandwiched in the middle.
The list just goes on..........

Status: offline 		The two that I can recall just go toward proving I need a domestic pet... as they're both mishaps that occurred in kitchen areas.

I was in the mood for chocolate chip cookies one day, so I pulled out those frozen squares and put them on a tray. When the timer went off I opened up the oven and reached in, pulling out the tray. Note: I did not say I grabbed an oven mitt first. The fun didn't end there. I dropped the tray, of course. But as it started to fall I thought, "Oh shit. The cookies!" I grabbed it again with one hand and angled my other arm to catch the side of the tray with my upper arm. I can't imagine where the logic was in that moment. But I'm pretty sure it tasted like burning. Suffice to say, I got the tray onto the stove and only have a very faded crescent shaped burn mark just above my right elbow.

The second bit of fun was when I worked at a grocery store in the bakery department. I worked in nearly all departments while employed there, but I was new to bakery when this next bit happened. I'd pushed one of the carts into the oven and started packaging baked goods elsewhere. When the timer went off I headed back toward the oven and pulled the door open. This time I had an oven mitt. It's the only way you can get the cart full of trays out of there. I was, however, only wearing one since I'd been too lazy to put on both. As the oven door started to close before I'd pulled the cart all the way out, I instinctively braced it open with my right forearm. I didn't notice right away, but jumped back when I did. I'd estimate that it wound up being a second degree burn.

Instead of fearing gymnastic acts involving scissors I can't be trusted to play with heated objects.

Status: offline 		One of my funnier bonehead moments happened when I was with my ex at a friends. I had her feeldoe in my hand and was teasing him about taking him from behind with it. As I was teasing him, I was waving it around. I ended up hitting myself in the eye with it.

That was the last time I teased him about it. Shortly after that I decided I should stick to bottoming....

Status: offline 		Some great stories here. For some reason it makes you feel better to know you’re not alone in doing boneheaded things. Thinking about it, it seems to me that for something to qualify as boneheaded, two things need apply.  First, as PseuableAllonym (I have absolutely no idea how to pronounce that) mentioned, there has to be an obvious lack of logic. Something that, if reduced to a sentence is blatantly obvious. For example: don’t roll the window down when you’re inside the car wash. But, for some reason, your brain was turned off at the time and force of habit – as nyrisa pointed out with her great tale of the dirty water and the sink – overruled logic. Second, looking back on it, you can laugh about it.

Status: offline 		Decided that I didn't have time to go find the safety containment equipment or anyone to come give me a hand, what was two feet away from me would do just fine.  That was amazingly boneheaded. 

Wound up with thirteen feet of snake wrapped around my leg, shitting copiously in my shoe.  Kind of forgot that while I was holding the head end, there was still a lot of snake to slither around and make mischief.  Nothing good atall would have come of this if she'd have gotten sufficient leverage on my leg to get out of my hand hold.  Fortunately it wasn't a constrictor species and I was able to do some fancy maneuvering to get it unwound and stuffed into the bag with one hand while retaining the head hold with the other.

Yeah.  Not doing that again in a hurry.
