Duh moments.

I was just shopping for cat food and came across a bag that was $5 cheaper than what we normally get, so naturally, I was excited that I could get the same stuff from a different brand for a better price. Of course, I had to make sure the bag wasn't just smaller or something, so I dragged it over to what we usually get. It was the same brand and I took another look at the bag I was holding. There was a dog on it. I was about to get my cats dog food. XD

Post your own duh moments so we can all laugh at ourselves.

The sickness I have right now gives me that several times a day. It's just a flu plus intense fatigue.

We call that here a "brain fart." I was doing an audition piece for a few summer shows - my monologue being George Carlins "Fart Jokes" - and I screwed up in the middle. The adjudicators, the people I've known for years, just told me I had a brain fart - while snickering - and told me to keep going.

Dammit, Seil, I know all sorts of names for them! Brain farts, blond moments, temporary lapses, etc.

My favorite variation is "walking through a magic door," which is what my manager called it when you'd walk into a room and totally forget what you'd gone in there for.

But this isn't about that, it's about posting yours! :p

Last night, I was playing some Modern Warfare 2, and I had to drop a gun to pick up an item I needed to get past a certain part. After that part was over, I tried to find the gun I dropped. I couldn't find it anywhere. I spent a good few minutes combing that room trying to find that gun. Finally convinced I had lost it, I continue onwards.

A few seconds later, I switch guns...and lo and behold, there was the gun I was trying to find, safely stowed away as my second weapon.

And, of course, I will admit I have had some classic "I can't find my glasses!" moments...a personal favorite being when I was holding my glasses in my hands and couldn't find them.

I used to have a pet lizard, a pretty docile lizard to, I could hold it in the palm of my hand and it wouldn't run away or do anything stupid.

One I got it out of its cage and put it on my shoulder while I searched through some papers on a desk. When I was done, I somehow convinced myself that I had put it on the desk and it had run away while I was searching. I got my mom and sister to help me search for it, and my sister suddenly noticed it on my shoulder like 5 minutes into the search.

I felt pretty dumb.

I've arrived at work once, looked around, looked at my schedule, and seriously just had to sit there and wonder...
"What the hell am I doing here?"

I eventually realized it was to buy books. In a book store. D'oh.

I have bought a laptop not once, but twice. Both times it took me about a day to realize I have no use for it at all.

Buut I was at least able to lend it to a computer-deprived friend. Twice.

"Aivopieru". That is an awesome word.

I once delivered an entire shipment of incontinence supplies to the wrong address. Like we're talking three huge boxes of adult diapers and five boxes of underpads. You should have heard that phone call.

I've done other stuff like that too. Like delivered a hospital bed and forgot the mattress, delivered a wheelchair with no brakes, put a bottle of Viagra in the wrong customer's bag...yeah.
