WHY I'M A MORON

[CriticalCrittles]

I freakin washed my cell phone in my pants pocket.

AND dried them in the dryer.

NO. It doesnt work anymore. Yes, I had a plan on it to cover that kinda crap. I think it'll be like 30 bucks for a new phone.

BUT DARN ME. DARN ME I'M A FREAKIN IDIOT. GRRRRR

AND my credit card is almost maxed. GOD I am full of teh SUCK.

I have good news to share later on though. But right now, I'm so mad at myself I don't really care.

Needless to say, don't try to call or text me anytime soon, until I say I have my phone back again.

GOD WHY DO I SUCK SO MUCH?! ;-;

sometimes this things happen ... It doesn't mean youre an idiot

If it makes you feel better a friend of mine went through this twice already,  but instead she washed an Ipod  then she got another one and the same thing happened again , she ruined two Ipods

[Leonardo]

hm, to flame oneself....
not something I can join in the fun of tossing things on the BBQ in the normal way to vent.
because that would require insulting you, whiiich I can't do....
because we are all of us freakin idiots at times.
so you suck no more than me, really.

so burn your bad moment in the flames of this pit!
and go foward a new Crittle!

I agree with zkarlette.

*considers the topic and ponders if The Moron Queen came through with some statement to Crittle a la the Old Toon Rat King "ah my loyal subject...."*

[Leonardo_Mystic]

Ouch. That sucks.  

You're not a moron, Crittle. You're just human, and we all make mistakes. Hey, I can relate almost to this incident. I almost washed my favorite Leonardo watch when I forgot to take it out of my work uniform pants pocket. Luckily, I noticed it wasn't where I normally put it, and raced back to the washing machine. I rescued it just in time. I would've been very upset though if I hadn't.


I hope you feel better. *hugs to you*

[moronqueen]

Leo...hehe...geeze. You're bad.

But yeah...everyone has their moronic moments (which should make me the most powerful woman in the universe, but hey...). I had my own a couple weeks ago involving laundry...I tend to have a bad habit of throwing the clothing in the dryer...tossing in the dryer sheet...emptying the lint trap...and forgetting to turn the damn thing on.  

So i did that, and Brent came across the load oooohhhhhhh...five, six days later, and almost passed out from the mold which had grown in there. He ended up cleaning the barrel of the dryer out with bleach while I was at work...but he wasn't mad...he just thought it was funny. ;p

So yeah...that kinda stuff happens to everyone from time to time.

[Aignatius]

Ayee!

Dunno if this is any comfort, but that almost happened to me, too. Fortunately my son found his cell phone was missing *before* I washed his work clothes.
Then there's the Sharpie that was left in one of my pants pockets that basically rendered a partial load of clothing unwearable.
 

[Brinatello]

And I can count how many times I washed money, not just coins, but bills that went through the wash and survived!  I can now say that I have carried around clean money!  It happens, pockets become a bottomless pit of goodies that fall into the wash by accident.  Don't feel so bad.  It happens to all of us.  

[Donatello]

Yey... I don't feel so stupid anymore! Just when I thought dropping my phone on a nice hard sidewalk was bad.  (fortunately, it still worked after)

 



Yes, I can be such a nuisance at times like that.  

[Raphael]

Yeah, I bounced my digital camera across the pavement when I was in England, this past June. Jammed the lens part open, sent the memory card flying across the courtyard...

Luckily, I got it to close up fine and, after a few tries, the camera started acknowledging my memory card again. And you can bet I maintained a death grip on the poor thing after that.

I've also done the 'wrong colours in the wash' thing many times. Brand new black socks? Yeah, they really shouldn't go in your whites/light colour load. Not unless you don't want the dingiest grey underwear you've ever seen.

Could be worse, though. When I was younger, I, trying to be helpful, put all of my father's hunting clothes in one load of laundry. Yeah, red shirts, white underwear... Let's say my father was wearing pink long before it was fashionally acceptable for guys to do so.

So, I guess what we're all trying to say, Crittles, is that we're all morons some times, don't beat yourself up over it.

[CriticalCrittles]

Yes, I suppose we all do stupid things sometimes.

It's just that....it extra bummed me out cuz it seems like technology HATES me lately.

First I had my IPod stolen at work (and apparently there was nothing they could do about it, it was MY fault since I didn't have it kept in my locker. Grr...)

THEN I broke my boyfriend's laptop. Tripped over the cord and sent it crashing to the floor. The screen got all messed up and he had to have he sent away to get fixed.

NOW this! Putting my week old phone through the washing machine.

Oh and last night, my computer froze up and wouldn't even restart all the way through, even after trying to restart it several times! Luckily it finally worked after I left it off for about an hour before trying again. But ya know...that can't be a good sign.

Yeah, the lord of technology must be angry with me or something....;-;

[Donatello]

Heh.. yes, hubby and I had bounced our digi-cam a few times, and miraculously.. it still works!

But my misforttune was with fender benders, when I was younger.  Just bumping into stuff, most of which involved phone poles and landscape rocks.  And then maybe an actual bumper ot three.  And... a rearview mirror.  It had made me wonder if my truck was a magnet!  

The one thing I did that cost us the most though, was accidentally throwing out my husband's paycheck.  Yeah.  Unfortunately, the employer he had at the time was anything but merciful (some private sushi chief at a small restaurant), had thought we were lying about the loss, and refused to give him another check.  So hubby tok them to court.  A fine mess that became... but after so many fees and traveling aome ways to a court in another state, he got his money.  Arr...  Now I try to double check the stuff I throw out.  *eyeshift*

[CriticalCrittles]

A paycheck?! Ouch! Luckily for me, I have direct deposit so I don't have to worry about that. It's a good thing too, cuz I've had my fair share of pay stubs go through the wash >.>

[Raphael]

Ouch...so that former employer hasn't heard of putting a stop payment on a cheque, Don? Oy, some people are major pains...it takes nothing to stop one cheque from getting cashed and reissuing a new one, or even checking of the original cheque had been cashed or not. Sounds like a total jerk all around.

Hmmm...fender bender, done that...pedestrians in a crosswalk, done that...money in the laundry (not cheques, actual cash), done that...laptop boingied from the bed, done that...leaving cd tray sticking out then hitting it hard enough to disconnect it, done that....

[Donatello]

Yeah, hubby worked for some stingy, stiffy sushi shop in Michigan for a bit.  That job didn't last long since the chef was such a *beep* too.  But no, direct deposit wasn't an option with many of the ppl hubby worked for.    

Whoa, you've hit a ped, Raph?  Ooo... that, I haven't done yet (as I prayed that I wouldn't... dunno if I could've lived with myself if my carelessness actually seriously hurt anyone else).  

[Raphael]

Well, technically, it was two peds...but he was only hit by the side of my car...she came up over the hood (also from the side).

I do not recommend it...not fun at all. Thankfully, neither required hospitalization.
