What Stpid Thing Have You Done Today? - Page 11

SzczerbiakManiac · 09-21-2009, 12:10 AM

I use a lot of props at Rocky. So when I'm coming or going to the theater, I carry a cloth grocery bag, three robes on a single hanger, an extension pole, a wooden pointer, and a large portfolio. I.e., my hands are quite full.

After the show last night, I packed my crap into my car and pulled into the street. As I did, I heard a strange sound--sort of like what you hear when you pull a strip of duct tape off of the roll. I just figured I had run over something sticky, so I drove home.

It was not until I parked my car in the garage at home that I figured out what that sound was. It was my portfolio sliding down the edge of my car and falling into the street. I had propped it against my car as I was putting the other crap into the trunk but forgot to pack it. I was exhausted from the show, but I knew I had better drive back to San Pedro ASAP to see if it was still there.

Ergo, my normal 30 minute drive home after the show became a 90 minute round trip and a half. But at least when I got there, the portfolio (and its contents) was dry, undamaged, and lying right there on the street where I had inadvertently left it.

I dropped my keys.

While getting into an elevator.

Right down the shaft.

I can just see them on a ledge.

Good news, I'm getting a good internet connection while I wait for the building guys.

It's rather funny. A dozen people have walked by and not one of them has asked why I'm standing here blocking the door. Even with the buzzer going off every 45seconds.

Monnie I did that once as well. I had to wait until the next time the elevator guy came out to do maintenance. Unless I wanted to pay his fees.

He pulled out at least 8 other sets of keys so I didn't feel so silly.

I've flushed my keys down the toilet. They fell out of my pocket as it was swirling. Down down down. Byebye keys.

Forgot my bike shoes. Didn't realize I'd forgotten my bike shoes until I was at the gym for spin class, in the locker room, half undressed.

STPID!

From now on the bike shoes stay in the trunk.
