Ever felt stupid....................

[LoftyLottie]

I phoned the vet this morning to find the ins and out of a flea treatment for my cat and dog. Because they know me well, I well into full flow without introducing myself and explained that I had a flea problem and that Frontline wasn't working well and that I had heard there was a tablet that you could use instead.................... and so on and so on.

Long silence and then, "Well it sounds as if you need to talk to a vet - not the doctor" Mrs.....................

I had phoned the doctor in error and they know me well too unfortunately.

Funnily enough she then gave me the vets phone number.

Not a question, it is, just my musings!!

I once walked into an optician's and asked for two pound of onions...

[ummmm]

Ever forgotten your pin number at the checkout?

[LoftyLottie]

Quite often ummmm. Don't know that forgotten is the right word. Have put in my year of birth instead on several occasions!

[woofgang]

snigger.......at least you didn't start the conversation with "I've got fleas"

[ummmm]

Ever forgotten how to spell your own name? :-)

As you can tell, I've felt stupid on quite a few occasions ...

Yes about a few months ago, was in a telephone booth in Manchester and say the telephone number of an escort agent who did hotel calls. I took the number, rushed back to my hotel room all excited and dialed the number.

A sexy soft female voice answered and i said " I want a massage, a blow job, soixante neuf, and a breast masturbation."

The sexy voice at the other end continued "That sounds very pleasant sir, but would you mind dialing 0 first for an outside line.

LOL, brilliant sqad. another kicking coming up I suspect.

[shaneystar2]

You were in a "telephone booth" Sqad ?
Do you not have a mobile phone ?
How common to have to use a telephone booth .

[Sqad]

tony....at least i toned it down.......breast masturbation was ....well.....something else that WOULD have given me a kicking.

[tonyav]

LOL @ sqad.

[sunny-dave]

I see sqad has been using the wit tank again ...

[sunny-dave]

... but I have stood outside a village hall thinking "where the dickens is everybody - I've got a training session to run" .... right place,right date,wrong month ....

When I was new to the area I took our cat to the surgery, and actually went into the doctor's across the road from the vets.

You should have seen the faces in the waiting room.

They say laughter is the best medicine, so perhaps I cured a few that day.

Lovely stories. I started with a most embarrassing moment, being born on a polished hospital corridor floor. Didn't know where to put myself.

[pusskin]

ha Ha Lottie, that made me laugh!

About 3 yrs ago, my hubbie rang the doctors for a repeat prescription, and he rattled off what it was. I was listening as he spoke and wondered why he keep on repeating himself as they couldnt understand him either. Turns out he was speaking to the local chinese take away, haha. We still roll up if ever he brings it up today! x lol

[LoftyLottie]

Pusskin, that made me laugh out loud. So did Hopkirk

Sqad, I simply don't belieeeeeve it - (in a Victor Meldrew voice)

It's not a question of feeling stupid. It is actually BEING stupid. And as I am TOTALLY stupid nothing bothers me except I don't have any pets !

[LoftyLottie]

Stupid and loveable like a pet dog thenry? ;o)

I believe that a lot of people have used the excuse ' I thought it was Saturday' when they were late for work.

However, I genuinely did race to work once believing it was a work day when it was Saturday :(((((
