FabSwingers.com forum: Stupid things you've done that bug you

I'm not sure why this still bothers me. It's not like it plays on my mind constantly but every now and again I think of it and it bugs me.

One beautiful summer's evening, after work, fifteen years ago, I was standing outside a pub having a drink with some work colleagues.

In another small group standing not far from us, was a tall black guy in a sunglasses and a long black leather coat, (I've no idea how he stood it in the heat, but still). He looked the spitting image of Morpheus from The Matrix.

One of my workmates commented on this and dared me to go and ask him if he's Morpheus.

Being stupid at the time and not able to turn down a dare, (I've since learned), I wandered over, tapped him on the shoulder and asked. He said yes and turned back to his friends, I thanked him and walked back to my group to report my findings.

I doubt he remembers it. I don't imagine he gave it more than a few seconds thought even but I am still bothered about being so rude.

Anyone else done something daft that bothers them? Especially if it was a zillion years ago and should have been long since forgotten.

£500 worth of sex line phone calls from a tiny sheet of porn I found over the Heath. None of it live, all recorded and I was 13 at the time. 20 fucking years ago!!!! Still cringe now. Was known as 'Herbert' ever since by my uncles! Always ribbed at family Christmas' to this day. Fuckers!!

Yesterday!!!

I was laying up a table in the bar when the knife slipped and stabbed a poor man in the crouch

. I was mortified and so embarrassed.

Think that one will stick with me for a long time.

Hello

yes sad as it may seem I once had to sit next to this boy in school and tbh he was harmless and one day I was bored and decided to slip string through his belt holes and tie him to the chair God knows how he didn't feel a thing so anyway he eventually stood up and of course the chair was hanging off him everyone laughed except him or me I wished I hadn't done it and felt bad for him being embarrassed I apologised a while after and he told me to eff off what I deserved

Can't (don't) want to think of anything specific but these little guilt trip earworms happen to me occasionally. It may be something as trivial as bumping into someone you know out walking..say hello...then after wonder if you seemed sullen or unfriendly or upset them. Really that trivial but it can loop in your mind. Funny old thing the mind.

Worst thing is the waking up the morning after the piss up thing where you kind of half remember saying something off...and your memory kind of drip feeds it back to you til tea-time when full mortification sets in. And you are not gonna see them til Monday to set it straight. *shivers*

I could write pages and pages about this!

Doesn't help having a low embarrassment threshold and and excellent long term memory, plus a brain that likes to play back those memories at random moments.

The first time my ex and I ended up in bed he farted in my face as I was giving him a bj.

I laughed and promptly forgot about it. Sex is ridiculous and messy sometimes; no big deal.

He was mortified and mentioned it regularly throughout our 7 year relationship until it was firmly etched in my memory.

If he'd not mentioned it again, I'd not have remembered it.

Suffolk - East Anglia

We were on holiday with our caravan at a caravan site where a nearby caravanner guy was being a total nob head. He annoyed everyone by playing music loudly until the early hours.

During the night I crept out and threw a few slices of bread up onto his caravan roof, knowing that as dawn broke, the pigeons would be scrabbing about pecking at it. This makes quite a bit of noise on a caravan and I knew it would wake him up - it did.

Ok, on second thought...

When I first met my inlaws they took Marc and I on a vacation in the Colorado Rockies. They got us these beautiful hotel rooms - each was a log cabin with a deck. Their deck opened to an amazing view of the Rockies in the backdrop.

I looked at the view, exclaimed how wonderful it was, then proceded to walk directly into the CLOSED glass sliding door.

I doubt they even remember it, but I can't forget it. What a great first impression. Walked away with huge bruises on my forehead and knee.

I say and do dumb things all the time. I'm hunched over in a constant cringe.

I have the horrified faces of many forumites etched into my brain after I've said something really fucking stupid.

How perfectly put. Almost everything I remember falls into this category.

I got mugged as a young child by some crack head in his mid-20's.. as I walked away from the mugging onto the main road a police car drove past and for some bizarre reason I never flagged it down! I don't think I had the confidence to as a kid. I still kick myself. Instead I went into a pub and they phoned the police and we waited an hour for them.

I often think how great it would've been to flag it down, say: "I've just been mugged" and go on hot pursuit. Would've been satisfying watching him be arrested.

In reality.. I've since recuperated the £5 fortunately and I do wonder where crack head Joe is in life. Hope he invested it wisely.

One that always makes me laugh. I was being chatted up by a really nice looking geordie guy. For reasons known only to myself i asked him if there was a river in newcastle. One what a silly thing to say and two you got to be pretty stupid not to know there s a river in newcastle. Soon as i said it i realized. I just turned round and walked away.

When i hadnt been with jay long we where out having a meal and when they brought the toothpicks it was those big pointy ones on a stem. I stuck it in my mouth back to front and cut the back of my mouth.
