Now here’s a thread.
We’re all dumb in our charming (and less than charming) ways. I can’t think of a better unifying force than our common shortfalls.
When did ya last fuq up?!
We’re here for ya, cuz we have, too…

a BIG Fuckup….
There have been too many to count.
I remember turning down a tech career in the early 90s, not on principle, but because it woulda interfered with my partying…
I can remember allowing myself more and more disenchantment with my married life. Eventually wholly unable to see that i’d never had it so good…
A life lived without regrets is a life wasted.
If someone never said that… well… someone should’ve.
Or, you know, go the Individualist route and lob stones.
I dunno.

Shoot Pop.
Thinkin like Roady could be seen as a malady, for sure.
I know i’ve been certain that’s the case.
I think we file that under Small Fuck Ups.
I mean, because, at the nexus, you and Roady and I are indistinguishable.

I don't know what I was thinking but I once bought a vegetarian pasty, I still feel ashamed when I think about it.

Sent an email to my boss once telling him that the architect I was dealing with was a fuckwit. I did the old "reply instead of forward" button trick. In the wash up my boss agreed with me and we had a laugh about it.

Went out for dinner with some friends and a few people that I didn’t know. Next day out in the surf I said to old mate “ how long have you been travelling with your mother “ turns out it was his girlfriend not mother . I didn’t know what to say next or where to look .

How could U ?? !!

I gave the biggest % Tip of my life , in Bali on my recent Tour .

Had my glasses on and not alcohol affected 2 .

To a middle aged waitress " Expecting ? " .

The reply , "fn Oath , a huge fart as bloody bloated as" .

I'm starting to hate this thread .

I have had more time 2 F Up than others .

Ban it .

edit

Just had an MRI .
They put headphones on me to distract from the Itching and Pulsing vibes .

The first song was " I Got 2 Get Out of This Place " .

Thought it a very funny joke until the Radio announcer came on , 104.7 .

Not a good sign !

just been talking with a feller in bali, reminded me of an ubud jaunt:

I was staying down at the raya ubud end, past the kids' soccer ground (seems to be half car park these days?) and went for a walk up monkey forest road to look at the new mega supermarket on the corner of hanoman. Coco's Market?

when I got there I got excited at the variety of weird chip brands and stuff, and decided to take some quirky stuff back for mates... bbg squid twisties, fruitboxes of rambutan and durian fun-drink, that kinda thing.. and came out with three bulging plastic bags of snacks...

I was just starting to slog back down the road with my booty, wondering how to pack it for the trip home, and some guys parked on scooters started pointing and shouting, and of course.. forgot, the entitled forest sanctuary monkeys come at you, they were ripping into my bags and running off with stuff.. couple of them swiped at my leg, long pants but.. only lost a couple of bags of chips, but it was funny, and I was flustered..

a top scooter taxi bloke pulled a couple of plastic bags out, repacked my stuff carefully, and said he'd take me to my digs. lovely guy.

when we got there I whipped out the first note, thought it was about 2 bucks and handed it to him, apologised for it being such a small amount and thanked him deeply. realised 20 mins later that in my fluster I'd given him, not 20,000rp, but 2,000rp..

felt like a right royal western ballbag... (I feel like I have a few of these sort of stories, as a rushed westerner, going 'doh' after the fact..)

working up to it cowboy, haha!
(though I love an everyday story, rather than big vegas style one;
the ones that don't end with 'and that band turned out to be an early version of acdc!!
or 'and that guy turned out to be a young tom curren!!)

It was September 1999 and was in Kenya , Dark Africa .

In the shadow of Kilimanjaro , my ex wife and I , were taken to a remote a Masai Village , after a game drive .

All the Villagers came out and welcomed us with songs of joy .

After being shown inside a Mud hut , we emerged to see a Semi Circle of their beautiful Trinkets etc , laid out in 20 groups , each family had a pile .

How lovely and thinking each piece would be about $US5 , I picked something made by each family , 20 pieces .

The King of the tribe and I , then had to negotiate the exact price and he started with $US 150 for a nice neckless .

F Me I thought !

20c I replied and the Chief was a shocked as I was .

I knew I was in trouble , called over the guide and he said the piece was worth $US 2o+ .

I said , I have fucked Up , here's 100 , whatever you come back with , is fine by me and walked 2 the Truck 2 be greeted by my wife shacking her head .

The guide came back with some lovely pieces that are now gone .

That's as low as I can think of , base6 levelish .

Decades ago living in Redcliffe.
After a trip to Toombul music we had acquired a beaut Yamaha amp, speakers surround sound system.
Even had two outdoor speakers for the hot spa that could be isolated via a push button.
Had some fun cranking that that afternoon.

Next day missus at work. Father and son team renovating the house next door as they had been for months.
Someone decides they’d have some private special massage boom boom time by bunging in an old VHS and pressing play. Sound just through the TV. Or so he thought.

Those damn spa speakers!!!
DOH!!!!!!!!!
