Ever made a complete fool of yourself
 

I have.
I was drag racing at a small track out in country Victoria. (Australia)
I was a bit late to the line and the other car had done his burnout and was ready to go.
I did a quick burnout and reversed back to the line trying not to hold up the show.
Rather than going back through the start line, then moving forward to stage the car, I reversed back in and stopped with the green lights ready to go.
In the rush to do the right thing, the lights came down and I launched the car at
4500rpm in reverse.
Lucky I only went five or six meters before I hit the brake and did not kill anyone.
The whole crowd and I laughed our ass off. :D:D:D

This is a wonderful thread if you haven't seen it. Just checked, and the last post was in January, 2011

flirting with a girl..i left the gas nozzle in my jeep and drove off. the hose stretched like a rubber band and when the nozzle came out, it hit the soffit and broke a light with a cascade of broken glass. i got off lucky. i didnt blow the place up, or destroy my jeep.

the girl laughed at me hard..my peepee shrunk up and i drove off humiliated.

I remember cruising up to a group of girls on my YZ 80. I was sweet on one of them. I killed the bike, and coasted up like James Dean would have, unitl I realized that my pants leg was stuck on the kickstarter. Had to gather up my pride, and pick up myself to the sound of giggling girls. I still got the girl though.

I'm trying to think of a day I don't make a fool of myself!

I did when my ex wife was in the process of leaving me.
At the time I tried everything to hold my marriage together... :rolleyes:

10 years on I've come to realise that it wasn't her I was trying to hold on to.
I just wanted to keep my family together because I was afraid of what would happen if I didn't.

As it turned out it was one of the best things that ever happened to me and my kids. ;)

Some great stories!

Dr Fluffer? Never. :D

Yes, on several occasions. They all involved court houses and women.

I drove my Datsun King Cab PU high speed into the HS senior parking lot and slid into a light pole. Not the highlight of my life but everyone saw it.

Sadly that does not even make my top 10. LOL.

You're not aloneSmileWavy

Sounds like my divorce.

Quite a few times a week since September 2007. ;)

This weekend I will.

I was in a rush on new years eve one night. It was a mild winter and I had been riding my bike all day. I drove the car into the carport with my bike on the roof. My neighbors were outside and all watched as I crashed into the carport. Bike was fine, but it destroyed a Thule bike rack, and made some pretty terrible dents in the roof of our car. We sold that car about 6 weeks later. I still have the mangled bike rack in the garage as a reminder, haha.

Last time we went to a restaurant, I had to pick a side with my meat. The waitress had a choice of potatoes, baked or fried. I heard "baked fries" and I went "sure, I'll have baked fries, I never had that before". She looked at me at me with a duh look on her face :rolleyes:.

I make a fool of myself quite often. The most recent instance being when I told the woman I was dating that I was in love with her. Stupid me, I did this because...........wait for it..............it was the truth. I felt pretty damn foolish when the switch flipped in her head and she went straight to hating me...

Showed up for a Halloween party all done up nice in a rented Confederate Civil War costume. Rang the doorbell, my friend answered the door and told me the party was tomorrow.

I can think of several dozen instances. I'll start out with one for the more tame ones.

I was doing an "off-road" triathlon several years ago. Swim in a lake, mountain biking, then running. I wasn't serious about it. So I formed a team with two of my neighbors. One swam, I biked, another ran. I was doing okay for the biking part. It was two miles of highly technical stuff (logs over the trail, etc) and one mile of flat, open path to be repeated for three laps. On the tail end of my first lap, I hit the flat mile and was pedaling for my life. I'd like to think I was doing 25-30 mph coming into the staging area, where the whole crowd was waiting. At full speed, I lean into the horseshoe turn around the staging area. Next thing I know, the bike is on its side and I'm sliding across the dewy grass. I swear I slid for a good 100 feet. As I was sliding, I got to see a good 20 people pass me. I get back up on my bike, step on a pedal, and discover that my chain has fallen off and it is now choked with dirt and grass. So I got to extend my humiliation as I tried, repeatedly, in vain to get the chain back on.

This same chain would later break during the race right as I cruised into the staging area at the end of my third lap.

A few months ago I was crossing a busy street on beater bicycle and turned the handlebar too quickly. The front wheel stuck and ended up doing a monkey roll into the middle of the street before a row of drivers, sans one shoe.

When I was about 13 and riding my bicycle, there were a couple of cute girls walking on the sidewalk.
I looked at them.
They looked at me, and were saying something aloud.
I kept looking at them.....and ran into the center of a parked car.

I was talking to a cute girl on one of my job sites once.
I was doing well, even had her laughing at one stage.
As I turned to walk away I let out one of those " out of the blue" farts.
I did not look back, just kept on walking.
No point after that. :D
