The it can only happen to me thread

**Palooka** · 08-11-2010, 12:17 AM

So I got my new plates on my Jeep the other day. I can't believe it. The first three letters on my new license plates are...just wait for it........GOP!!Yes, that could only happen to me.

I was cracking up with the lady about it and said these are the worst plates I've ever had.

I found the humor in it.

Dh says, hey, maybe your parents will think you turned from your evil ways. *snort*

Okay no sticks and stones...

One from a few years ago. I was running on the treadmill at the gym and looked down and noticed that my patch was laying on the ground. No, not a smokers patch. So embarrassing and the treadmills behind me was full.

So what funny/crazy things can only happen to you?

The first three letters on my license plate say SPY.

Okay, here's one for you....We were in a bar during a local "band night", so the place was packed. And since what else is new, the ladies room had a loooong line. So, being "miss thoughtful" to the "ladies in waiting"

, I hurry in and hurry out. I walked across almost the whole length of the room to get back to where we were sitting, and my SIL is sitting there laughing like crazy, and I had no idea why....that is until she pulled off the long trail of toilet paper that was stuck in the back of my pants....lolol!! Yes, this can only happen to me too!

I really could write a book. Growing up and living most of my life among crazy people in Brooklyn, NY, brought on lots of those....ICOHTM moments...HA!

I've had that happen recently. So embarrassing!

Not sure this counts, but I'm always dropping coupons or receipts at the checkout in stores & everyone looks at me like I'm an air brain or a pack rat.

-We are going on vacation in 2 days. I have the kennel arranged for the dogs,shell cleaned,groc. bought,clothes packed,camp reservations...(DH doesn't hekp because of his work schedule). All of the sudden 10,100,1000,10,000 bees arrive and swarm in our front yard. Couldn't even be the back. I almost cancelled because I was afraid a neighbors kid would pester them and get hurt. Fortunately,they left in 2 days. Even had a beekeeper lined up.

-I'm a joanne fabrics. Park my green windstar w/ park stickers van,use my clicker to lock it. Shop at Joannes,come out, get the door open,The alarm goes off. I panick. I DON"T HAVE AN ALARM!! I have just broken into a green windstar,w/ park stickers,parked on the same side of the same row, 2 spaces up from mine. I quickly got in mine and left. I still don't know if their was unlocked or my personal key fob clicker worked.

-This is funny simply because my DH is NOT an easy going person,
I worked at a mall in my 20's. There are always many "types" that hang around the mall. There was a mentally disturbed lady who was there a couple days a week. She seemed harmless and I kinda ingnored her. She never approached me either. She looked strange because her hair was snarly and her lipstick looked like she put it on during a bumpy car ride but she wore nice enough clothes. 1 day my BF now DH and I were leaving my work after I finished. She was walking arm in arm w/ her "BF". As she passed she became animated and whirled around. She started getting into DH's face calling him Charlie. He said sorry,no,I'm not him,your mistaken, please go away, I'm afraid your wrong. as he kept walking. She just kept coming. I finally said something and said to keep going. The humor was how freaked out DH was getting. She wasn't harming him but was like a fly. I found it funny because she never said a word to me after,anytime. I also got a good week calling him Charlie.

Quite a few years ago DD was going to junior High and there was a new principal at the school. We decided to go to the open house to meet him. 2 hours before a neighbor call and say "all 3 of your dogs just got skunked. So I screech over to the vets and buy a $10. bottle of "skunk away". It is getting dark so I put the porch light on and scrub the dogs outside. But it begins to rain. So I scrub them again because water makes more of the oils come up and they start to stink again. I leave them outside to shake off and jump in the shower. I wash up in the "skunk away and then the regular soap. Then I let 3 wet poocked in. Luckily, the meet and greet was outside and Not in the enclosed auditorium. Needless to say i didn't stay long-just in case!!

This happened to my DD today. After she got off work she drove to her dad's house to drop something off. Her dad told his wife to turn off the alarm. Well, she forgot.

So my daughter goes in with the garage code and lets the dogs out and the alarm goes off. She was freakin and the phone was ringing. She told the lady that this is her dad's house. The lady said, yeah right! She asked for the password and my daughter thought it was the code and gave it to them. lol The police was on their way and thank goodness her dad was fast enough to respond and called the cops off.

So apparently when you have an alarm system, you will get charged if it's a false alarm??

I was having a really rough day a couple of months ago. I was sitting in my car, getting ready to go into DQ. I grab my keys, lock my car with the key chain thing, then open the door. Well, duh, I locked the car. So I am sitting there inside my car with the alarm going off. And I was freaking out and couldn't figure out why it was going off!! It took a good 5 minutes for me to get the alarm off.

Another alarm story--it was about 5 pm and all of a sudden my car alarm wnet off. I couldn't figure out why. I went out and shut if off. 2 minutes late it went off again. This was a 20 minute cycle. My husband was at Guard and I couldn't figure out what was going on. I finally call our friend Joe and my neighbor Dave comes out. We took out the fuse, solved the problem. About 2 hours later I went to switch out laundry--hubby had left his key in his pocket. Everytime the key fob went around in the dryer it was hitting the panic button.

When I was still driving and just bought a new car, I parked the car and put the car in D. Well, I go to start the car and can't figure out why it won't start. So I ask one of the male workers to help me. They quickly noticed I was not in Park. That was embarrasing.

I did the same thing this summer at a amusment park.

On August 13, 2010 I cut my finger while chopping broccoli. I go to the bathroom to stop the bleeding and wrap up my finger. Come out of the bathroom and proceed to close the door on my newly bandaged finger.

Four hours later I am at the emergency room feeling really dumb because my finger is still bleeding. Mind you this is a really small cut. Feel even more idiotic when the triage nurse asks on the scale of 1-10 what my pain level is. Then get to walk thru the emergency room with my small cut only to see beds of people passed out.

Fortunately the people in the hospital said I was right to come in.

So the next day I wrap my finger up good with gauze. Go to leave the house and proceed to close the door on my finger.

**shoiji** · 08-15-2010, 06:53 PM

Today I was defuzzing my face. Almost shaved off my one eyebrow. Luckily I realized what was going on and only have a small bare area on one eyebrow. I think I will stay away from sharp items for a while.

Never using a garbage disposal before I put carrots and egg shells and potato peelings in it plugged it up solid had to Google this and found out that these three things should never go in a garbage disposal after snakes and special plumbing tools and staying up all night I read about plugging the non disposal side and plunging the other side yep it come unclogged .
I could go on and on because if it can happen it will happen to me lol!!!

**craftypam** · 08-16-2010, 12:26 AM

I think it got clogged because of stuffing it. I have been putting those things in my garbage disposal for 35 years and it has never been plugged up.

**Palooka** · 08-16-2010, 12:37 AM

I agree with CP. I never put potato peelings down them though.

If you read what to never put in a garbage disposal, it makes you wonder why they invented the suckers in the first place.
