I was having a real hard time answering this. I'm normally a cool dude in a loose mood. MagnumMike's post about the 80 yr old stripper reminded me of an incident that happened 30 years ago. So it's true confession time.

I was a sales rep, making calls on regular customers out of state. Most of them knew how straight laced I was. I walked into a customers place about and offered to take the parts dept mgr to lunch. He told me he knew of a good place and directed me to a business that I thought was Johnnies Supper Club. Upon walking inside I was hit with a $10.00 per person cover charge. There were four of us. What could I do. I offered to take them to lunch. We were escorted to our table by 3 young ladies who then sat down with us. When I asked for a menu I was told the only thing on the menu was them. We stayed there a couple of minutes and left amid laughter from my lunchmates. Every time I went to that place after that they asked if I wanted to go to lunch.

Well I'm Queen of the dorks!! The most recent thing was a few weeks ago.
I've mentioned that the furniture shop where I work is shutting down and everyone is a little slack right now. Any way part of my duties at work is to drive the company van to the other shop and deliver repairs and pick up the mail and whatever. Well since we are all being very slack I took a friend with me and we stopped for lunch on the way back.
I told her to put her seat belt on before we left!!

As I was going through the drive through I was running my mouth as usual, paid for our food and was rounding the curve to the next window she said something I didn't hear--
(your not going to make it) I ran into the railing, I thought i could just kind of side swipe it a little but no when I hit the gas the tires started spinning, she was cracking up. I backed up and continued on to get the food. We were laughing and she said you are going to run over the curb sure enough -- I did and all I could see was arms and legs!!
She went flying up in the air and wallowed all over the van floor. I was laughing so hard I was crying. She had food and drink everywhere. She just sat there laughing and trying to catch her breath.
I told her to put her seat belt on!!lol

Years ago while on a trip, we stopped at a convenience store to get some snacks and drinks. My hubby parked our vehicle and I got out first. I walked to the front of the store and grabbed the handle of the big plate glass door. I yanked on it several time, it wouldn't open. I walked across to the other side of this plate glass door and tried the other handle. By now, people in the store were turing around and looking at me. with questioning expressions on their face.

My hubby came up behind me and went to my side and walked into the store. Yes, of course, the doors were open! Talk about being humiliated and embarrassed.

lol thefer
you reminded me of another of my "hubby witnessed" dork moments
we had just started dating and were going to waffle house I parked the suv and when we came out the spot in front of us was open so I decided instead of trying to back out of my spot which would of been tight because of the cars behind I would just pull forward and be on my merry way
well wouldn't you just know that their parking lot was one of the few remaining ones with those concrete curbs in front of each spot
I guess I was a little heavy on the gas because next thing you heard was "thump thump" and I was over the curb
omg I was mortified because you know how when you first start dating you want to be on your "best " behavior
well I had no choice but to continue forward so we had another "thump thump"

lol now years later everyone once in awhile when I pull forward from a spot I will hear
"thump thump" from the peanut gallery in the passenger seat

nwv - when it comes to glass doors well lets just say there is a reason I have something hanging on my sliding glass about eye level

Ok, I'm a day late and a dollar short, but I finally thought of one!!!

One day while my husband was in the shower, his cell phone rang. He has the ringtones individualized for different people. Well, I thought I recognized the ring as being the "Batman theme" for his best friend. So I picked up the phone by saying, "Hello, Batman!" Well, it wasn't the Batman theme, after all. It was the Pink Panther theme (which was generalized for everyone!) After a couple of seconds of awkward silence, a girl says, "Uhh...I think I have the wrong number..." (She DID, but she was probably rather surprised to hear someone answering from the batcave!.) I felt like a dork.

I know how high the nose landing gear shock strut on an F-4 fighter jet extends when you don't follow the service manual directions and add too much air to it... (No damage to the aircraft, fortunately)
