What stupid thing have you done today?
14My brand new air fryer is no more, I dropped it on the ground and a good amount of the plastic broke off. I am assuming it is still usable, I do not think the plastic was doing much, but don’t want to risk it.
I also purchased a new television today, luckily I did not drop that when I was taking it out of the box.

Some pizza company (I forget who) advertises “pizza insurance” so if you drop your pizza on the way home, they’ll make you a new one.
Mehbe somebody in the forum remembers, and you might want to order your pizza there today.
@therealjrn Dominoes. https://www.dominos.com/en/about-pizza/carryout-insurance/
@ruouttaurmind Oh. Dominoes?
/nevermind
@therealjrn Dominoes uses potatoes.
@ruouttaurmind @therealjrn They also advertise that they deliver. I want to bring them a cow and watch them take out the liver.
@therealjrn They used to be good, not now, now I would rather have a hot Little Caesar’s!
@chacham @ruouttaurmind @therealjrn Good thing I wasn’t drinking anything when I read your deliver joke. On the other hand, I’d have had something to report about my drowning my tablet.
@ruouttaurmind @therealjrn Dominoes makes me sad. Such an icon, and such uniformity and consistency of experience… and they’re the only pizza place around here open past 10.
And they are the first place I remember being able to order pizza with a Perl script.
But then the pizza. It looks like a pizza. It looks like it has been constructed with greater than average care. But it does not taste like a pizza. It does not taste like anything.
Got out of bed.
@rockblossom I got out of bed, twice.
@chacham You win!
@conandlibrarian, why were you wrasslin’ with your air fryer? Anyhoosles, I think even if it’s a little de-plasticked, you should still try to use it…I bet it’s fine.
@UncleVinny I think so too, it just looks sooo ugly!
got drunk at 12, had a depressing conference call with a government organization that is only trying to do good, sent a text message I shouldn’t have.
@Seeds You sound like Trump. Except the drunk part is clearly drunk with power, since Hair Furor doesn’t drink. It kills his coke buzz.
@mike808 Shit. I hope I’m not Trump.
@Seeds Poor Seeds- I hope today is better for you.
@dashcloud thanks, but honestly yesterday wasn’t so bad.
I checked the Meh.com website hoping there would be the anomalous offering of something better than … meh.
Sigh. I am so stupid for falling for that trick every day.
@mike808 …at midnight Eastern time
I posted another dumb link in the meh forum.
Waiting for the last minute to pack for a friend’s wedding. I fly on Friday morning. I have a suit so I am looking through Youtube for ways to fold it without having to bother with a garment bag and place it in my main luggage.
Plus I wanted to activate my first smartphone.
@JT954 You sound like me with packing, I usually end up doing it the morning of.
Congrats on the phone!
@JT954 We haven’t used a garment bag in more than 10 years. My husband leaves his suit on the hanger (ironed shirt included) and places it on the bottom of the suitcase folded over once. He takes it out and hangs it when we get to our destination. The shirt occasionally needs a quick iron touch-up but usually he’s good to go.
I left the dog with free run of the house.
There may be something stupider to come. It’s still early! I’ll keep you posted.
@aetris And?
@lseeber - without going into TOO much detail, I knew I should be keeping a tarp in the car, and didn’t. Time to take it to the detailer…
I put on these jeans that I thought would fit better but are too tight. Gah!
Shopped at Walmart.
First time in many years, had to get some test strips for a fish tank and it was close to where I was. Get home realize somebody had opened the box and taken out all the strips. Yep.
Now have to decide to go back and explain the situation, or just swallow the $10 and not go back.
And Yes it appears someone stole something worth $10.
@MrMark I know someone who works at a Dollar Tree. Their most shoplifted item is a pregnancy test kit. There is so much wrong with this that I can’t even begin to unpack it.
@moondrake We could all start by making sure we vote people into office to stop making it worse. November is coming. Every vote matters.
@mike808 @moondrake Are they going to oversee the Dollar Tree and Walmart? Or hand out pregnancy tests?
@lseeber - VOTE DOOM: Anyvone caught shtealing fish test shtrips vill be shott on zight.
@moondrake Many years ago I managed a Rite Aid. Most stolen item was usually Preparation H. Guess people were too embarrassed to bring it to the register.
@MrMark So I ended up taking it back, and they totally acted like this was something normal they experience. Which perhaps it is.
@MrMark My dad managed real estate trust properties for a bank. A lot of them were houses being rented. Among other problems, he said you could count on evictees stealing all the light bulbs, even from hard to get to ceiling fixtures.
Funny, two Walmart stories.
The mistake was to go in the first place.
I went flower hunting.
I forgot the end of the month is teacher payday.
I had so much fun, every time I finished hugging one former coworker, another came, former parents, kids.
Regular reunion.
I bought five plants and tomato stakes.
Problem, it took me two and a half hours to buy them.
No one will go to Walmart with me for this reason, at any time.
My goddaughter was amazed and will never go with me again!
@Calabama Funny… that’s like the little town I used to live in and raised my kids in. The local doc retired but the man could not go to Walmart or the Piggly Wiggly. He would be waysided by everyone over the age of 60 with all their aches and pains and never make it to the checkout.
@Calabama You know “The people of Walmart” site? We were unsurprised when someone found a photo one of our notorious co-workers on the site. He dresses… interestingly at work. The Walmart picture was much worse.
Ongoing delusion that I’m not a clutz…
Nearly rolled my ankle when I stepped out of the shed at work (wasn’t paying attention to where I was going) yesterday (day of the question). Not swollen or bruised, but it’s still sore today.
Gotten out of bed.
Went to a French pastry place. The chairs are too small for my thighs and the pastries were terrible.
Not me, but I was involved. Setup a new computer for a new engineer yesterday. This morning they complained it restarted last night, spoiling their test. Another complaint about restarting later in the day. I know the computer is stable, I ran it for several days after building it.
Before I get out to look at it, I get a third message: “Maybe the computer is restarting because I have it plugged into my motion-sensing power strip?”
Yea, that might do it.
@blaineg Millennial Critical Thinking skills in practice.
Sounds like you’ve found the root cause: PEBKAC.
decided to unplug the vacuum cleaner from across the room. gave the cord a good yank. it was like slow motion after that. i saw the plug hurtling towards me. my reflex was to move, but my brain was too occupied. it marveled at the slow motion sight; a coiled up snake, ready to strike. as the plug approached my face, the black beast unfurled and…
it struck my chin with the force of 13 very small hammers. my head snapped back. i cried out. the dog sneezed. reeling from the strike, i grasped the kitchen counter. unable to swear due to the close proximity of my son, i yelled the only thing that came to mind, “MOTHER PICKLER!!”
the boy glanced up from his iPad, gave me an annoyed look and told me to please me quiet, he was trying to concentrate. the dog sneezed again.
good times.
@carl669
Oh My!
Oh your behalf I offer:
/giphy fuck fucking motherfucker!
Consciousness seems to be a bad idea today.
Nothing today as stupid as this guy:
