The Best “Dumb Blonde” Moments That Happened to Real People
It’s okay to have a momentary lapse of judgement and even the smartest of us can forget the simplest of things sometimes! But when those little dumb moments effect your job or other people’s lives they can go from forgettable funny moments to a life changing event.
These real people shared the dumbest things they ever witnessed and they are pretty surprising, to say the least.
Her Greatest Hits
My sister has done all of the following. She is 26 years old, and all of these have occurred around and after the age of 18. She accidentally lit a loaf of bread on fire in the microwave, and set countless frozen pizzas aflame from neglecting to remove the cardboard ring on bottom.
In the car, she insisted that her headlights wouldn’t work because she’s almost out of gasoline. She also asked my dad if our boat had brakes. He knew just what to say for a laugh. He told her yes, but they don’t work because they’re wet for a laugh.
But those are nothing compared to her greatest hits.
She once asked my mom if Mickey Mouse was a cat or a dog. She thought Canada was a state and thought Washington, DC was in the Pacific Northwest.
She also asked why we (as humans) can’t air-condition the outside world. She once asked how to spell VCR, as she thought it was a word. Also, just last week she bought two right shoes!
It Must Be Right
My sister was working on something and asked me if a word was spelled right. As I was looking at it, she said something I’ll never forget, “It must be right; there isn’t a red line under it”.
She wasn’t on a computer. She was writing something on paper by hand. I couldn’t get over it. It was too perfect. I’ll mock her forever for that one.
Maybe They Were Exaggerating
I worked security at a hospital desk during the start of the pandemic. A security bulletin had gone out about an escaped psychiatric patient with a history of being violent and obsessive towards pregnant women.
He had gotten loose during a patient transfer because he was being taken to a secure prison psychiatric facility. We were told to be extra careful of who we sent to the OB/GYN floor.
I was worried—but I had no idea just how nightmarish it would be.
He showed up at our desks and asked for directions to the maternity ward. Before I could make up an excuse to stall him or do anything else of the kind, my co-worker told him where it was!
I freaked out and said how that was the escaped patient, thinking my co-worker hadn’t paid attention or something.
My dumb co-worker said, “Oh, yeah, I know. That was definitely him, but I’m sure that it’ll be fine. The whole ‘violent and obsessive towards pregnant women’ thing is probably an exaggeration. People can be so sensitive”.
This idiot didn’t even think to call security and let them know he was on his way up. I yelled at a different co-worker to call security and then had to run and hurl myself into the elevator with him and distract him until security got to us.
My co-worker was fired really fast. That was the only time I was actually happy to see someone let go.
She Was Allowed to Keep Her Job
I worked in a restaurant that didn’t serve booze on Sundays, so there was no one behind the bar, but our lemonade was kept there.
Someone, one of the new waitresses made a big mistake.
She filled a child’s cup with pre-mixed margarita, thinking it was lemonade. The worst part was that the child drank it all before his grandparents noticed the cup smelled like booze.
They were religious, non-drinkers, and the grandfather was a state police officer. They were obviously outraged, but our manager was able to talk them out of pressing any type of charges. The waitress was allowed to keep her job but quit shortly after that.
