Not too long ago, I noticed as we were on our way to church, that I was wearing a blue pump and a black pump. Different styles, different heels, etc.

The first time I faxed a document, I made copies for my files!

One sleepy morning many years ago I began brushing my teeth with Brylcreem. The upside was my teeth stayed in place all day.

Spent 10 minutes looking for the rewind button on my (new) DVD player.

About 3 weeks ago, we stopped for gas, my husband got out, started the pump and after a few minutes, got back in the car. I thought he was finished, so I drove off. Turns out, he got in the car to get out of the cold and I drove off with the nozzle still attached. Luckily, it came out, but gas was spewing everywhere on the ground.

Truly embarrassing.

Here's one more horrifying than funny.

I sent my husband an e-mail while he was out of town once, b!tching up a storm about his annoying parents who were staying at our house for a visit at the time. I sent it to his parents by mistake!

I realized it, right after I hit send. It was funny trying to apologize to them after that. My wicked-evil father-in-law forwarded it to my husband with comments, no doubt trying to get my hubby pissed at me. Joke was on FIL from hell though, because my hubby happens to agree with me.

My first time on a legal drag strip, rolled up to the water box for a burn out (street legal vehicle) and proceeded to do such in first gear. In about half a second, I pegged 8 grand on my tach and threw a water pump belt that tore my radiator hose 3/4 through.

The staging lane that I used had to be closed off for 20 minutes to clean up the coolant mess.

I had to be pushed back into the staging area to put my belt back on, duct tape the radiator hose and limp back home.

**Lesson not known at time: Do burn outs in third gear (auto trans).

Aw, man I have so MANY! I'm a natural born klutz and I ALWAYS have an audience.

Like one morning at work a few years ago, I tripped over a power strip with a hot cup of coffee in my hand, fell, and the coffee went up all over my face, hair and the shoulders of the shirt I was wearing. AND it stung my face.

And yep...I had quite an audience for that one.

I had to go home to change clothes, wash my face and wash the coffee out of a large hank of my hair.

That's just one of many. (sigh...)

Ok, stupid I'm sure, but my blonde moment (at least the first thing that comes to my mind) is when I came home from church one Sunday and had left my bible on top of the car (like who hasn't done this).

What's cool though is that the rack on the top of the car, had kept the bible from falling off the car and all my notes/papers were still in the bible because the it was facing the opposite direction of the wind.

I thought it was pretty cool...

I went for a meal with my boyfriend and his brother. My boyfriend and his brother ordered a large steak each, I had the chicken. When the food came the steaks were huge but both being men with big appetites they managed to polish them off to my amazement. When the bill came it was passed to me for a joke (my boyfriend's brother was paying). I looked at the bill and said "oh look, it says "well done" for eating your all your steak". He said, "no Rachel, that's how I asked for it cooking". I wanted the ground to swallow me up! Rachel, Leeds

Of course, the true blonde moment in here is ordering a steak well done.

One time my brother and I were making fun of my aging mother for an earlier incident in which she'd served some 'banana pudding' to guests, but had forgotten to put any bananas in it (our pudding recipe contains vanilla pudding, so there was not even any artificial banana flavoring; it also includes condensed milk, Cool Whip, etc.).

My mother defensively said, "Well, at least I didn't forget the Miracle Whip!"

Your Blonde Moments

I could tell you, but FR is a "family forum"... oh, wait... those are my "moments with blondes". never mind.

[Cecily]

I once ordered fish and chips with a side order of fries. The waiter had to point out to me that fries already came with the fish. Duh!

[calljack]

Glued three, count em, fingers together with superglue, had to cut them apart with an exacto knife, ouch!!

[Woman on Caroline Street]

Funny you brought this up, Milstar. I just retold the following story the other day to my husband:

Many years ago, I was in the supermarket when I ran into a man that used to be a booster parent for the band when I was in high school. I graduated with his son so I was interested in seeing how he was doing.

It was just turning to winter weather, and I was wearing a long black coat I hadn't worn since the previous year. As I'm talking to him in the fruit aisle, I had my hand in my pocket and felt something kind of strange. You know how you leave things in your pocket and forget about them, right?

So I feel this large piece of strange fabric. Curious as to what it was, I pulled it out. Apparently, the last time I wore the coat was when I was at a formal function and had been wearing a strapless cocktail dress.

Yup. I pulled out my strapless bra that I had taken off on the ride home, because it was killing me after the party. I'm just holding it and he looks down and I think I turned about 8 shades of purple.

They left out the young lady who phoned in a bomb threat to LaGuardia Airport, from her own cell phone, to try to delay the flight so she wouldn't miss it. She just HAD to catch it, because she was flying to Atlanta to see her boyfriend, who she was afraid was about to fly to Minnesota to "confront" her ex-boyfriend. Despite the long delay she caused, she still missed the flight, and now has no boyfriend to worry about either. She does have some FBI agents and federal judges to worry about, though.

As for the smashing of the Qing vases, I think the real blonde moment there was when some museum staffer decided to display them in a place and manner which made this possible.

[Conservative Texan Mom]

I went to a Christian college in Abilene Texas. There were also two other Christian universities in that town. From time to time we would have college get together. One particular time was at the old Paramount Theater in the downtown area. I can't remember what movie they were showing but it was long enough to have an intermission because that's when everybody took a bathroom break. Well, the line at the girl's room was kind of long, so I took off in search of another ladies room. I really don't know what kind of misfire was going on in my brain. I found another bathroom that had a man's figure on it and a handicap accessible sign, but there was also a sign on the wall next to the door that had both a female and a man figure with an arrow pointing down the hall. I suppose I must have thought the arrow was pointing at the door, because I marched right up there, swung open the door and took a giant step inside only to be surrounded by four guys standing at the urinal peeing. Well, I squealed! What's funny is that none of them jumped. A couple of them casually looked over their shoulder and another asked if I was cute. I bolted out of there, ran down the aisle, found my seat and sank into it. Then I held my bladder for the rest of the movie! Only the hundred and something people standing in the area outside the restroom saw.
