Stupidity: only genius has limits

[bluebell]

Gone crackers

I sent a truckload of product overseas...to the wrong country and I didn't find out about the mistake till it was too late to fix it...

Yeep!

I did another really dumb thing the other day, too.

I mailed the stub of a bill; had written the correct amount to be paid, then sealed, addressed, and stamped it.
The crazy mail lady who always has to cackle about how much she loves spring took it away.
I was satisfied until Marcia (a woman I'm working with who dyes her gray hair dark brown, but shouldn't) ambled over with...the check. The check that was supposed to go in the envelope that I had already efficiently sent off.
Payment without the payment.
I probably don't need to tell you that my "Yippee Skippee"-ness kind of wore off after that.

I was just a little embarrassed.

I hit Reply instead of Forward on an email from someone who had a problem with the correct use of the English language and pointed out their faults thinking I was typing to my friend. Never heard back from them, but I sure felt stupid.

I did this once also. A manager in the company I used to work for sent me an email requesting a vehicle to take to Organ (Oregan for those that can spell).

Thinking I was emailing my boss with a comment about how stupid a manager can be and some talk about 'I wonder what organ it is?' I had actually hit reply and sent that demeaning mail to the manager.

Thank God he was too stupid to understand that I was berating his stupidity.

Just an aside, I think it's Oregon.

Thank God he was too stupid to understand that I was berating his stupidity.

I know a couple of people who also fit that description.
Thank goodness for the word "simpleton".
