I'm an idiot....

[Huskee]

I do dumb things regularly, outside of bbq. Just couple weeks ago was making coffee. Instead of putting the grounds in the basket & filter, I put them in my cup that had creamer in it. Caught myself at only 1 scoop of course, but still.. Or the microwave beeps, walk into kitchen and open fridge, stare, wonder what I'm looking for. That kinda stuff.

[HouseHomey]

Friday at work I had all my Prep our for a lemongrass satay marinade and fired up the Vitamix. The issue is there was nothing in the blender and it ran for about 10 seconds while I was talking. Oops

[ofelles]

You guys have been spying on me! I hate it when that happens

[FireMan]

That microwave-fridge thing is cuz they are to close to one another. Put the fridge on the other side of the room, problem solved.

[Livermoron]

I put the probes in the main thermometer station and forgot to put them in the meat. Wondered why everything stalled at 76 degrees.

I'm an idiot...

[Sweaty Paul]

To paraphrase Shakespeare. I’m an idiot let me count the ways.

[FireMan]

I was going to say I never did that, then youse guys started throwin in other stuff that I done did. Well at least nobody here’s mentioned burnin their eye brows off in a cook, saved my mustache. 🕶

[Huskee]

You ever grind up jalapenos for BBQ sauce, wearing gloves to be safe, then like an idiot scratch you eye with you gloved hand? Yeah....me neither. Except that I actually did.

[FireMan]

Worse! I was slicin em up & eatin em straight from my garden with no gloves. We, a friend & my wife enjoyed em & then had the idea of going to a Mexican reastaurant. Ordered, then rubbed my eye.............

[smokin fool]

My buddy was cutting scotch bonnets then used the washroom without washing his hands....darn near washed the poor thing right off, used all my wife's cold cream cause milk did nothing.

[Jared49]

Well, like these folks all said, you’re in good company and welcome to the club.

[Willard]

I posted my burgers on the drinking thread a little while ago. I think I got it corrected. But I’m an idiot, so...

[Willard]

I see this thread growing rather large.

[FireMan]

Jussss so’s ya don’t post whacher drinkin on na burger thing, channel. Cuz ya woodent be drinkin a burger or burgerin a drink.

[IowaGirl]

Boogering your drink, you say? Ewwwww! TMI!

[castironchris]

I did some thing similar on my kettle. Opening vents, opening vents, trying to get temp but being cautious to not overshoot 225. Wouldn't get over 100. Opened lid and realized I had never even dumped the lit coals in there. There were sitting in the chimney a few feet away. I thought my neighbor was going to die he was laughing so hard.

[Mr. Bones]

Lovin it, Brother! Reminds me a lot of th idiot that lives in my skin...

[jfmorris]

Was this by chance an indirect cook?

[castironchris]

It was an indirect cook.

[IowaGirl]

I set up an indirect cook on my new 3-burner Weber gas grill with the center burner turned off and the outside two set to medium. The center indirect zone was staying much too hot, so I turned down the outside burners as low as they could go. Checked again a few minutes later, and the center zone was still way too hot. I started muttering under my breath about what I thought of this grill and how hard it was to control.

I finally got smart and LOOKED at the burner knobs. I realized I had absentmindedly had the center burner on HIGH the whole time.

Oops.

[Mr. Bones]

HeeHee, I'm feelin it, Sister!

This is why th vast majority of my cookers ain't got no movin parts, lol!

[TBoneJack]

Well, I'm not an idiot. I'm not. I'm not!

I've found that if I keep saying that over and over, like my therapist suggests, I start to believe it. But it never seems to stick for more than a few minutes.

[Mudkat]

How long have you waited for a stop sign to turn green? And how many times? Yep. I'm an idiot.

[holehogg]

Gotta put my hand up as well make that both.
