So the background noise of water running for the last 20 minutes, that had been assuming was the dishwasher, was actually the kitchen faucet.

We used to have Cub Foods here, back in the 80âs and maybe as late as the early 90âs. I assumed they were now gone everywhere.
Well, the supermarket business isâŚfluidâŚevery decade or so someone gets bought out or spun off or what notâŚregardless, Cub is a major player in MN - particularly, the Twin Cities Metro area.

When you are working on something before lunch and when you come back you print it.
But only after you print the 70 page document, you realize you were only about 60% done with itâŚ

WTF? finally days later, the handyman shows up. iâm all ready to fight with my N95 mask on cause he probably is bringing covid. he opens the unit and is all confused why it isnât working. finally he looks at the plug AND IT IS NOT ENTIRELY PLUGGED IN!

Sorry it was a faceplant situation but happy it was fixed easily. I had something like it. Replaced heater when ac went out this summer. Turn heater on for first time in late fall and it doesnât work. Same failure mode as old heater had many years ago. Grousing to myself about stupid installers, didnât they test this, under warranty I will be darned if I pay for this, blah blah blah. Guy comes out, and mud daubers built a nest in intake (first time in 11 years since intake was put in with last heater). I should have figured it out myself.
I went the wrong way down a one-way street this morning.

Thread for silly or stupid stuff I do? Iâm a dad, so itâs ongoing.
I call my dog over and ask her to sit. Then I announce âwhen you throw your jacket over them, you find out how smart they are based on how quickly they get out from under itâ.
Then, I throw my jacket over my wifeâs head.

does it have to be stuff I did? cause my sons gave me a 
moment a couple of days ago.
I tell 13yo, âhey, take out the trash, will you?â
He goes to the garage, calls to 16yo, says, âHey, 16, will you come out here for a minute?â
16yo goes out to garage, 13yo comes back in and announces, âHey, DadBro, I took out the trash!â Hilarity and fistfights ensue.

Drove to the ski shop to get skis waxed without checking holiday hours. They open at 11, I arrived at 10:20, canât decide if I should waste time for 40 minutes or drive home come back later.
Who am I kidding, I am going to waste 40 minutes.
username checks out.

I was grinding some pepper into a bowl of soup when the pepper mill slipped out of my hands and hit the lip of the bowl. I lost some of the soup to the tablecloth.

Husband threw coffee at the stairs (and all over one leg) this morning, so I made him a new cup and completely sealed it in saran wrap. #gotem

Threw or dropped? Throwing (to me) is a conscious act. Was he mad at the stairs for some reason?

Stupid stuff I did: re-tiled my bathroom floor with penny tile. On top of existing tile. In a 120-yr old house.

Based on the aftermath I think it was sort of both (but unintentional).
YeahâŚthey were giving him a long fixed or vacant look. It was creepy. He was trying to help them snap out of it.
Spilled some coffee on legâcoffee cup left hand with sudden jerk resulting in a âthrowâ in the coincidental direction of the stairs.
They were up to something . . . I just know it!
