here's a stupid story that makes me look like a fool

I found a voucher in the mail addressed to the previous owner, for $50 off any purchase at this local dress shop. I was just about to go buy a dress for some event, so I couldn't resist and took it. (in my defence, it wasn't sealed, and I didn't have her forwarding address, but knew she had moved interstate)

Anyway I got to the shop, which was also having a huge sale that ended that day; had fun trying on heaps of dresses, and found one I liked. I reach into my bag only to discover I'd left the voucher at home. I tell the sales person that I'd left it at home, and she says never mind, if you have the voucher you must be a member, so i can look it up in the computer. I thought : oh crap.

She says, whats your name? I say Rebecca (which is the name of the prev owner)

'And last name?'



'...I don't know.'

Exactly like that bit in the Simpsons where Homer tries to collect mail posing as Mr Burns.

she looks at me like I'm a total retard, which serves me right.

i didn't buy the dress but fled the shop in total embarrassment.:p

Northern: BAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!! Im still giggling...AT you and WITH you hahaha

Biggest dress blunder I made was trying a dress on and falling in love with it. Stood in the change room with it on for near on 10mins making sure it was really perfect! The sales lady even did her job and ohh and ahhed at how great it looked on me etc. Checked the price tag.. $29.900 awsome! Took it to the counter with a huge grin and took out $30.
Sales lady: That'll be Two Hundred and Ninety nine :)
Me: ..*dies inside and goes bright red* oh...umm...hang on, i'll be right back, just going to the ATM *nervous giggle*

Never did go back into that store.

I forgot my name when I was pregnant. I had to put on a layby and had to ask my Mum for help. I felt so stupid.

Oh, and if you use the previous owners Myer One voucher as you have no forwarding address, be warned that you need to present a Myer One card to use it.

heres another, although this one has my DP looking the fool

we live near a large-ish bush reserve, and walk the dogs there almost every day. We have 2 dogs, one border collie x blue heeler, and one kelpie x blue heeler. As you may imagine, they are insatiable exercise wise, love chasing things like sticks and tennis balls, and are very smart and obedient.

So DP and I are walking along this sandy track, when up ahead I see a snake on the side of the path. I love snakes, used to be a volunteer snake handler at the local reptile centre. DP is Scottish and while he isn't scared of them, he has no familiarity or trust of them.

The bush is full of snakes of course, but surprisingly we have come across very few in our walks over the last 2 years of living here. Unfortunately most of the ones we come across have been killed by the local thugs, bashed with sticks or run over with motorbikes.

This one was quite still, but had a very natural looking curve to its body position, so i couldn't tell if it was dead.

The dogs had run ahead of course, completely oblivious to the potential danger. DP calls them back before they walk on top of the damn thing. My biggest fear is one of the dogs getting bitten, and having to carry them back to the car and driving the 40 mins or so to the closest emergency vet.

Anyway, DP had been throwing a stick for the dogs during the walk, and what better way to find out if the snake is dead than to throw a stick near its head?

events proceeded as you can imagine

Northern see snake
is snake dead?
DP find out
DP throw stick
Dogs chase stick
Northern stand mute with horror, a '...nooooooo!' building inside
as dogs stand on snakes head

Thank god it was dead

DP withered under my glare the entire week:eek:
