for 2 seconds, mind you, and while multi-tasking under the pressure of deadline, grabbed my stapler instead of my mouse and wondered why the #$^#(* curser wasn't moving....

Looked for my pencil when it was tucked behind my ear.
Done it. And that is usully where the pencil is when I am not using it. It really is bad when it is behind the other ear. Then I really confuse myself.

hey guys- here's a cure all to that- as I have done the same thing. but I heard this and have NEVER put a pencil behind my ear ever again since hearing this....I always catch myself before actually placing it there....
Placing a pencil or pen behind your ear makes you look like an order-taker, subserviant to those giving you the orders. Never give them that satisfaction.

hey sparky I had a similar situation happen years ago when I rented a cabin up north with my cousins. The pilot light on the stove burnt out. So I think well I better turn on the gas and light the pilot, right?
yea.....even tho the pilot is out, there is still a gas feed.....not that I am an overtly hairy guy, but what arm hair I did have on my right arm was totally singed off, and I had a pretty good bruise on my leg from the stove door almost being blown off into me.

When I was in High School I was welding with a gas torch and every once in a while it would pop slag all over the place. Usually you could locate the lava metal chunks. One day I tipped my goggles up to look for the slag and didn't realize it was on top of my goggles. Yep you guessed it, Back in the days of aqua net I know how Michael Jackson felt!

By now you have probably guessed I use my nickname as a screen name. When I was a freshman in high school I worked at a store simular to the Walmarts and K Marts.
I was 16 at the time and my manager thought he would save a few bucks by letting me change the ballasts in all the lights in the store that were out. He thought since I had taken a class called Electricity 1 the semister before I was a qualified Electician. Mind you most of the lights are 20+ feet from the ground. So I'm up on the ladder twisting wires together when another co-worker decides it sure was dark in the back corner and turns the breaker box back on.
Two hours later and an EKG, they finally released me from the hospital. I've been called Sparky ever Since.

A few months ago I looked feverishly for about 30 minutes trying to find my sunglasses, I finally did, and when I went to put them on they wouldn't fit because I was already wearing the other EXACT DUPLICATE pair!

Guilty. It was a little propane grill that didn't work too well. One day it kept going out. Well, although the flame was out, of course the gas was still be trapped underneath the lid. I shoulda let it air out a bit before I relit it.
