How Do You Handle The Moment You Realize You Have Done Something Stupidlike?

You have just inadvertently burned all the hair off your face lighting the grill, or you just tripped over nothing, what is the first thing you do?

    Ok, I'll be honest...I usually say a cuss word!  I get so mad at myself for doing stupid things you'd think I would just laugh it off, but I get to intense sometimes.  That is one of my weaknesses.....  LOL LOL I just noticed what you wrote about burning all your hair off your face!  When other people do stupid/silly things I DO laugh and that makes them mad, but when I do stupid things myself, I just cuss and swear!  ☺

      The first thing I do when I realize I did something stupid is to look if maybe there was someone else that saw me doing the stupid thing, then I try to recover and depend on how bad it was, I would get very angry at myself for being so stupid.  The one day I had very slippery shoes on and I decided to run across the highway, so what happened, I landed up on my backside in the middle of the road, with cars coming my way with a hell of a speed.  I took of the shoes and left them there in the middle of the highway, and ran like hell never to return for the shoes.  I was very cross because everyone was laughing at me but afterwards I did see the humor in the situation, but at that moment in time you don't think that it is funny when it happens

        First and foremost I accept what I had done. People tend not to accept that they have done a stupid thing. Analyze where things have gone wrong or why I had done it like that and rectify myself. We are human being we do mistakes. But a wise person is the one who doesn't repeat them again. What do you say my friend

        Good answer; me, i always check to see if anybody saw me in my stupidity. It is bad enough to be stupid but then to have an audience can really make it worse,LOL yes you are right my friend. Live and learn.

        I usually laugh at myself unless I am very mad before hand. Then I curse, lol I usually am not angry when I do this stuff, so, me laughing at myself is o.k. On occasion I will be mad, and realize how stupidlike something was, then laugh anyway. Lol But the hubby, forget it. Seriously, the face thing happened recently, remember how I told you he was very sick, well he went to light a cig, and I heard the poof from it, and turned around to see his face lit up. That was not scary or funny at all to me. He even got a burn on his nose from it. The only funny part of it was that he didn't have to shave the mustache. He laughed about that, not me.

          out of my "Blondeness"! So, I guess I can look at my clummsieness as a 'gift' of bringing Joy to others! Ha! Love ya!

          I usually scold my self outloud like this "watch it you big dummie" or "you clumsy fool" one time in the supermarket I dropped something on the floor, keep in mind I'm in a wheel chair and paralized all over except my right arm and hand work a little, so when item hits floor I holler
          "you big a++ clumsy idiot" this was said just loud enough for the very large woman in front of me to turn around and give me a stare down. I said sorry, just talking to myself.
