I went to work with two entirely different sneakers on. One even had a far thicker sole on it so it was extra silly of me to not have noticed since one foot was higher. Someone else pointed it out.

I once tried to chat a very very sexy biker who was in a caravan next to me when I was on holiday. I was trying to speak to him in German (I was only 14 when this happened) and was asking him loads of questions. Problem was, he wasnt German.

Language barriers. Sighs. Yes, I know your problems. At this thing I was at everyone else in the room spoke fluent Irish except me and my friend who can just about bodge together a sentence. For some reason she appeared to think that this meant that they wouldn't understand English and began talking loudly about how good looking one of the felas was. She then went on to tell one of them that I liked him and when I re-entered the room there was a painful silence.
Oh the pain the pain!

I just hid for the rest of the holiday. Why did he have to be so hot? It was so unfair that I made such a tit of myself.

Okay, here is another. We were driving down the road having just watched the Simpsons. It was the episode where they have Bear patrols. In Angus where I live there is a road operator called BEAR. Anyway, my boyf went look "Bear patrol" pointing to the bear van. And I asked if a bear had escaped. Dumb dumb dumb.

Lucky you. They were staying in the room next to us and we spent the next 28 hours with them. Actually you know, I bet you that with my luck they are on this site currently, reading this post thinking, God she really was insane wasn't she? Lucky escape there.
Feeling really nervous now..

Perhaps I should go.......

Not quite so “Harriet” but the other day I was walking around the office for quite a while with toilet roll stuck to my shoe!

My friend went to school with similar shoes on but they were different. She took them back to the shop complaining she'd been given two different but very similar styled shoes. She got a correct pair but sitting in my room I noticed they had now given her two left pairs. And she hadnt noticed.

I often do Harriet type things, I'm always late for school, and I've always forgotten something. Thankfully I've never had the problems that bunbun has had

I said words with my mouth, you heard them with your ears, you understood them with your brain. Is that correct?

I'm really gullible - my friends dad asaked me (I was about 12) if I wanted to play 52 card pickup and I said yes....

I have also fallen for the whole
"he was deaf"
"pardon?" thing and kept repeating it louder and louder.

The other day I asked my nephew why there was a line up to his next doors phone wire and he said it was for the pigeons to climb up - for some reason I didn't twig, just thought he meant they had home-ing pigeons and this was some type of exercise kit or something and said "oh, right!"

Hehehehe! Those are funny stories! I’m pretty dumb as well though so I don’t know why I’m laughing!

I used to think “air guitar” was a type of electric guitar (!) and I’ve fallen for the “gullible isn’t in the dictionary” joke before now…! My parents favourite story – the one they like to tell all my friends – is when I was small I used to ask where are we going and they’d reply “all depends”. I actually thought it was a place so I used to ask when we were going to “alldepends” again...

Oh dear...

at skool, i was always late and never had the right books with me. I turned up with a suitcase for a skool trip only to find it was the next day.
Ran out the house without me shoes on, was late for work and didn't notice 'til I got to the bus stop.
And the list goes on and on. Hence why the first part of my nickname is Nutty

Yes - Harriet arrived without her skirt.

You're not alone on the fancy dress - my husband and friend once went out for a St Trinians themed party at the local club only to find that they were the only ones dressed as schoolgirls!

My brother and sister in law went to a fancy dress - they were picked up by a minibus and everyone else was in fancy dress. When they arrived no-one else was in fancy dress and everyone else from the minibus went into the toilets and got changed into their proper clothes - it was an elaborate hoax!!
