Having been on many first aid courses I was nominated as the first aider at work.
All went smoothly until some poor benighted swine cut his head and I was called to attend.
The chumps already on scene had been unable to staunch the blood flow.
Without thinking I quickly applied a tourniquet around his neck.
The bleeding did stop, but I was removed from first aid duties shortly afterwards.

They asked me if I required counselling. I said losing the £80 per month (approx. $100) first aid allowance was upsetting but counselling was not required.

I've asked an abdominally plump lady about the due date of her baby. She wasn't pregnant.

I'm still spitting-out the black feathers from that debacle. 🙂

I had been up since 2 am, as usual, and was leaving the stop smoke clinic. As I was leaving with my pushbike there was a loud noise as I forgot it was locked to the downpipe.

Many years ago on a boozy night out down the pub it was just before
last orders. My mate offers to be a round but I've had enough
(I still have most of my pint left from previous round) and refuse a
drink. After some negotiation I agree to half a pint as a top up.

My mate returns and hands me my beer.
Which I pour into my still half-full pint glass to top it up.
... except he hadn't bought me a half as promised, it was another pint!

Most of my attempts to cook scrambled eggs have been among the dumbest things I have done.

You did the proper thing. Tourniquets are a viable and effective method of precluding excessive blood flow out of the common swine's body.

First job in London (only been there a week or two) and as I got off the train I suddenly realized my work mobile wasn't in my pocket. In sheer panic, I got the next train to Victoria and rushed to lost property in the desperate hope that somebody had handed it in. (Yes, I tried to get some random person to ring my phone, but it just rang and rang). Suffice to say, nobody had handed it in and I had to endure the embarrassment of telling my manager that I had managed to lose my phone.

Got home that evening and found the mobile plugged into the wall, charging.

Just about everything I do is dumb but one time I trashed my place looking for my reading glasses only to realize I was wearing them.
