I have been carrying my camera in my purse for years and never thought anything about it. I also carry my glasses in my purse. I don't need them to see just to read. And I used to take all kinds of pictures of things while we were out. Any way my camera lense the part you view through got broke and I can't tell what I the picture will look like before I take it. So I feel stupid that I was carrying my camera in my purse. My glasses I kept in a soft case until this happened that day I put them in a hard case so they won't get broke like my camera. So have you ever done anything that made you feel stupid or foolish like this?

Hi Sweetloveforeve. I have done that not remembering about a mirror. My husband has lost his glasses and they would be right on top of his head. I get a giggle out of the stupid things I have done. I am glad I am not alone. Thanks for the giggle this morning.

Everyday... I do something foolish... I just realize I did something stupid after doing it. It's really embarassing...

Hi Bestylish. I think we all do something we wish we had done differently. But alas it gives us all something to learn from.
Hi Nevaarchey. I have washed my feather pillows at home but never dried them in the dryer I always put them on the line. Never tried drying them sounds like it was a mess. Oh well lesson learned. Thanks for the giggle!

well i have numerous candies in my purse but i don't really like candies. i bought most of them myself maybe because they're colorful and it's nice to look at.
well i used to have a camera before but i don't take pictures. maybe i did before but that was like once in a blue moon. in fact i had two, the other one was given by my sister. i don't know why i accepted it.

Hi Thamaker. I don't like carrying a purse anyway but my husband kept telling me I need to carry one so I don't look so tom boyish. I like keeping my important things on me. I don't think I would carry candies in my purse. Oh well I hope you get another camera. Thanks.

Yes, I have done something even more stupid. Several month ago I was applying for a scholarship to support me to study abroad. At the very beginning I chose a 'wrong' project(there is several different ones)which needs additional application that I didn't know about. So after the application I had been just waiting for the results without any worries. Then when the results came out I found no my name on the list but almost all my schoolmates who applied for got their scholarships. Finally I got to know that I should have chosen another project!! Then I hurried to get contact with the scholarship council and explained my experience and wanted a reapplication. Lucily I was permitted to reapply! I could just avoid this stupid mistake by just asking others. So do you think it stupid or folish?

Hi Songbaofang and welcome to my lot. No I don't think it stupid I think you just didn't understand what they wanted from you. Glad you are able to reapply for the scholarship and hope and pray you get it. Some people just don't like asking questions. Me I ask too many questions I want to know everything so I ask. Never too old to learn new things. Good luck!

What you said is common. It is not stupid.It happens just like that. Why worry?May be it is due preoccupied thoughts or thoughts requiring priority. That is all.

Hi Chayapathys and welcome to my lot. I don't worry about it just makes me feel like an idiot sometimes. But it gives me something to laugh at when I do these silly things. And your right it is usually when I am preoccupied with other things I have to get done.

Hi Free man,
I'm blonde so what do you think? I have done things way way way stupider than carrying a camera around in my purse. Oh and I also carry a camera around in my purse and it is not in a case. I have a case for my glasses which I also use only for reading and still I would say most of the time they are just tossed in my purse. Until I read your discussion, those were not even on my list of things to feel stupid about. The list just keeps growing longer every day.

Hi Sid. You gave me a real giggle about the blonde thing. I am not blonde and I still do stupid and foolish things. I needed to be more careful my husband and I are not rich by no means and we can't aford to replace things like my camera or glasses. The glasses cost about three hundred dollars, and lets face it that isn't money we have on hand. Thanks for the giggle.

We would not be human if we didin't do something stupid or foolish in our lives. i know I am guilty of this more ttimes than i would like to count. it usually involved something trivial that could never happen again if i wanted it to. Sometimes the foolish act would have to do with keeping a friend or beginning a relationship. the things we will do in the name of love!

I have done all stupid things all the time. And most of them have been mostly at home only. At times i completely fill the water filter and later i find that the water has leaked and i would find my room filled with water at times. I had to clean up the house myself. Took 3 hours to do so and the most stupid thing is that it happened again!
What you gonna do....
Cheers!

Oh yes, I slipped and fell in the water with my digital camera. If I had only been wearing the neck strap the camera wouldn't have touched the water, but I was holding it in my hand without the neck strap and when I reflexively reached out to catch myself I dunked the camera right in the water!

Hi Jessieza and welcome to my lot. I hate doing stuff like that. Cameras are so expenssive and money isn't something we have enough of. My camera was about 250. and I can't replace it any time soon. But as long as it still takes pictures I won't worry about it. I hope you are able to replace the camera you got wet.
