That Was Stupid
POSTED IN: Blog Posts
We’ve all made our share of “Oops!” kind of mistakes. Just this morning I was laying in bed willing myself to crawl out from under the covers. Lisa told me that I needed to get up because I had a coffee appointment with someone. I was convinced it was tomorrow and told her to open my laptop and double-check. Sure enough, she said, I needed to get moving. I was half-way to downtown Noblesville when she realized that today is actually TUESDAY, not Wednesday. She was looking at the wrong day on my calendar.
Most “Oops!” mistakes are relatively harmless. Some are a more pre-meditated and slightly more…permanent.
My first thought at seeing this mugshot is to question the claim he tattooed on his upper lip but, judging from the lipstick on his cheek and neck, I guess he’s right. Who knew?

Went to turn onto a street in downtown Indy. Thought the street was one way and I was going the WRONG way. Didn’t think…jerked car back into traffic. Sideswiped a SUV. Blah!

Yowsers, that’s a bummer! Downtown traffic can be confusing sometimes.

I had a “Duh” moment. I pulled into the gas station, paid for the gas and left without getting it. Luckily, I remembered that I hadn’t pumped it before I left the gas station and was able to back up to the pump I was at and put the gas in. I felt so stupid…

Got in the van. Started it. Foot on the brake, put it in reverse. Remembered something I needed in the house. Took foot off brake and jumped out of the van. Van started down the driveway. Lucky for me I was able to jump back in and step on the brake. Prayed that no one in the neighborhood saw me. Dumb, dumb dora!

first of all…best picture ever…man that tattoo cracks me up.
My life is one big oops so I cannot begin to tell you the last time. The only thing I can think of is that I looked down at my cell phone ringing a few weeks ago and proceeded to rear end the car in front of me…

That tat is epic. EPIC, I tell you!
I once got my wife these little chocolate candies that she loves (and are hard to find). In my smoothness, I called and said, “I have a surprise for you today, and I know you’ll love it…’cause it’s food.”
Oops. A real-time backspace key on life would be awesome to have.

Yeah….that was over 3 years ago, and she still talks about it. I keep reminding her of the forgiveness of Jesus, and how we should do likewise!

The first thing that comes to my mind is the time we locked ourselves out of our house.
The short version is: we live in a small rural town, with (apparently) one locksmith, and he was in the hospital that day. So it took several hours to get back into our house.
My poor pregnant wife had to pee like Sea Buscuit, but she was a trooper.
Here’s the long version:
