Over the years I have developed a sense for when I may need a little psychiatric counselling. Here is an example-
When, on seeing a pink toenailed foot hanging out of someone’s boot/trunk, and the car with the foot is just in front of you at the fast food drive-through, you get out of your own car, go to the passenger side of the possible psycho’s car, open the door, ask him to turn his music down for a moment, get told to F#$##$%#%#$% off, shout to him, “I think you have a body in your boot,” go back your own car and quickly write down the licence plate of the psycho’s car, tell the fast food people (and order food), get home, ring the police who laugh and say it’s the latest craze – buying plastic body parts and sticking them out of car boots.
Okay this happened a few years ago when I was young and naive but I have never forgotten Anthony’s response when I got home all traumatized.
Anthony: So you thought there was a dead body in the guy’s boot so he must be a murderer but you still got out of your car and asked him to turn his music down so that you could tell him there was a foot hanging out of his boot?
Me: Yes.
Anthony: This reminds me a bit of when you went all the way into town to buy something to unblock the sink when it was just that you left the plug in.
Me: And?
Anthony: Well you don’t seem to have a lot of common sense.
He was right – am still struggling with common sense – argh!

hahaha that’s funny!
I wasn’t scared even – how stupid!
I’ve done stuff like that…
Glad I’m not the only one!
That plug in the sink story is just…..hysterical. Gosh, you make me laugh.
I laugh easily about such stories because I’ve done similar things and if one didn’t laugh about them, one could easily cry (out of embarrassment).
But I think we both have a lot of common sense, otherwise how could we survive these humiliating incidents and still carry on.
Ah, we are kindred commonsensical spirits!
Now I have just killed myself laughing.. my reaction exactly, you thought there was a murderer in front of you so you go to confront him… your wish? to join the body in the boot? I still can’t stop laughing… now my wife is on her way over to see what I find so amusing…
I’m glad my stupidity is providing you with a laugh – haha!
oh i love it when we have such a variety of days …………..
I bet you wouldn’t be as stupid I was that day – ha!
i can’t even begin to tell u the stupid things i have done. haha, could make a short funny booklet
Well, come on, blog about it!
thank you for my laughs of the day – we all do things like this (okay not confront someone whom we think just killed someone) but the plug in the sink one I can relate to. LOL lol lolololololol-this is me picking myself up from the floor – you are so funny – I do not put much stock in common sense myself
I still do the plug sink thing but no longer confront potential killers.
okay a little common sense is good when it comes to self-preservation (I am still on the floor btw)
Glad I gave you a laugh!!!!
The world is full of people with common sense. Anthony has enough for both of you. Probably why you’re such a good match–you complement each other.
Yes, even now.
🙂 xo
I’m so glad you shared those stories. I don’t feel like such a fool now. It’s just normal.
What’s normal any more? Ha!
OMG Julie … I think maybe that’s a syndrome of some kind 🙂
I’m sure you are right!
rofl. oh jules, you are priceless!
I’ve forgotten what rofl is Rhonda!
Oh Jules, sorry. It’s rolling on the floor laughing.
which you make me do often (not literally on the floor, but it’s a visual!)
Well I am glad you are getting a laugh out of my stupidity!!!
Holy Cow…that is soooo the wrong word! Nothing stupid about you or your antics.
f-wittedness?
let’s just say ‘human’ 😉 you are the whole package julie!
Human? Quite a good word – thanks Rhonda – will check it out with my linguist buddies.
Ha! Let me know what they say.
ok
That is so funny. I remember being so shocked at seeing a limb hanging under a car. but you..oh Julie.I get so embarrased by some of my goof-ups but my friends seem to enjoy the entertainment.
So is this plastic limb thing common over there too? Weird isn’t it!
The imagination creates the darnedest things.
I know!
Reminds me of the first time I made home made bread. I misread how much yeast to add, and those loaves never did rise. We used them for door stops! LOL
This is exactly why I don’t try anymore to make bread – haha!
Ok this gave me a bloody good laugh but have to aske what is this common sense you are talking about I though Political correctness killed common sense and buried him where no one would find him……………….

Very true!
That’s about the funniest thing I ever heard. Thanks for the laugh. 🙂
Thanks for laughing – ha!
OMG! That is hysterical! I was laughing out loud – only because these are the kinds of things I do all of the time!
I’m very glad I’m not the only one!
I so love your sense of humour and Bravado Girl!! A woman after my own heart.
Reminds me of the time I had been on straight estrogen for 5 days for unsaid female medical issue. The old long hair type who was in front of me tooling down the highway Cheech and Chong style taking his sweet lovely old time. I was late, in a hurry, get the you what out of my way!
He pulls up to a stop light I know he missed on purpose, just because of me, and I promptly put my car in park bhind him, got out of my car, waved to those waiting behind me and walked to the stoners window and knocked. He rolled his window down, I read him a whole new riot act.
He just looked at me, said “Melloooow Pleeeease” and just as nonchantly rolled his window back up and looked away. Never saying one more word to me.
That’ll teach me. 🙂
Oh I can’t stop laughing!!!
Oh Good, then my work is done ~ LOL… ~ BB
Hahaha
Lol, I don’t think that means you need psychiatric counselling, that just sounds like life to me!! I once confronted 2 guys stealing my friends car and told them to get out, that it was my car. And they did! Have also fallen pray to the leg out of the boot thing! See, just life!
How come you are ‘anonymous’ in this comment?
Lol, sorry, cos I have never done this before (comment on a blog!) Hi Julie, is Susan Appleton and yours is one of only 2 blogs I read!
That’s okay – hi!!!
I thought FB might do something automatically but think I was meant to click on something!
I don’t know how it all works either!
ha, ha…that’s a great one! I’ve never seen a leg out of a boot. I think that would seem freaky at first.
It’s a pretty weird prank I reckon!
I agree! Jokes aside, I was quite unnerved.
I’ll say!
Oh Julie! Priceless! 😀 😀 😀
I still have an underdeveloped commonsense condition – ha!
This is hilarious! We are all so funny! (Usually when we think we’re quite serious……. ahem….)
Ahem!
Hilarious! I work at a Walgreens and one night I was at home and was filling my pillbox and could not find one of my prescription meds, so I assumed I had run out and just forgot. I called the pharmacy where I worked to ask them to fill it. She told me it was 2 months too soon. As I hung up the phone I saw my bottle of pills sitting right in front of me on my desk!!
Glad I’m not the only one who does this kind of thing!
