I have done the 1 hour drive and forgotten my fishing reels, but my proper list of stupidest things are not fishing related, but they were funny;
1. Waiting to go into bat in an important cricket match. Sitting on a deck chair, decided to move it round towards the sun, it collapsed, I fell backwards and snapped both thumbs (ouch).
2. In bed, very bad case of wind so I decided to move offending backside out of the bed clothes so as not to offend the wife. Released an absolute snorter. Opened my eyes only to realize that I had fallen into a rather deep sleep on a packed commuter train traveling to London. To make matters worse, in the process of moving the offending backside into a “safe” position, I had actually “cuddled” it up against a lady passengers thigh!
3. During my driving test I tried to be a bit clever. The examiner said “when I tap this pencil, please bring the car to a stop as quickly as possible”. Seeing him raise his pencil I actually did the procedure a bit early. Result – examiner had to have the pencil surgically removed from his nasal cavity.
There are many more. I have a bit of a reputation for these things!
