Just had to share this with everyone...count me in on being a member of the DOOZIE files! On the morning of the 13th, I ordered a breakfast sandwich and orange juice at McDonald's drive thru. I pulled up and paid for the food at the first window...and then...I drove right through the second window where I was supposed to pick up my food! DUH!!! I got to the road and realized I was a DOOZIE! I backed in from the road into a parking space, got out of my car, and was greeted by an employee with my food in hand. I explained that I was one exhausted florist and a complete nit wit. She said people do it all the time! Just goes to show...we all have our own DOOZIE moments!
 
I avoid this type of doozie moment this way.

To avoid Drive Through Window Doozies

prepare a 1/3 cup of Red River Cereal with one cup of water in the microwave for 5minutes 30seconds add brown sugar and a splash of milk.

Taste great at 5:15 AM. No backing up necessarylol
 
Doug,

Ha! Ha! You are a regular riot! I love your cereal, and I try to eat healthy regularly...except on holidays! Probably the worst time I could trash the healthy eating lifestyle, so I will heed your advice in the future! I'm sure I could have done something doozie-like in making my own cereal that morning. I have doozie tendencies right before any holiday!
 
I've done this before. Didn't notice until I got home.

Last week I was so distracted I drove through the carpool line at school one morning patiently waiting my turn, but forgot to stop and let my kids out. As I turned to head to the shop, the kids said "Hey Mom, let us out!"

Or having to tie your glasses around your neck with a piece of curly ribbon because you have wasted so much of your and your staff's time trying to find your glasses, which sometimes are in your apron pocket, sometimes found in a bucket of flowers or in a plant. :boggles: :boggles: :spintongu :loopy :loopy :spintongu
 
Too many to mention, too little time. ;)

I lose my knife at least three times a day. Sometimes within in less than 5 minutes.

ps.. and I can't use anyother knife than my own. It just doesn't feel right.

I lose my knife, actually every knife I lay my hands on. I lose the scissors, and now I have lost the hole punch!! I took the cordless phone to the car rather than the cell and I forgot I had a bucket of statice in the basement. Im beginning to think I am too old for this business.

Susan, not too old... seems to me you fit right in to the business. ;)

My portable phone went to Florida and it had the nerve to go without me in December (from Michigan).

We also sell gift baskets and we ship them all over. Some how the phone got packed up with a basket and went for a ride. We looked all over for that thing and had no idea where it was when we got a phone call from the recipient asking us if we wanted it back. :)

That is my worst!! :) :)

That is the best story. Truly funny.

a number of years ago, and I'm sure we talked about this in the past, a hysterical customer called us, to let us know that a MOUSE had jumped out of her fresh arrangement, when she had unpacked it!!
We were stunned...STILL, to this very day, have NO IDEA, how such a thing could have occurred....and it was in the winter TOO!!
 
also, we have a VW Transporter cargo truck, and one day, this past summer, I had the surprise of my life!!
The back of the truck is sealed, from the front compartment, and rides fairly high off the ground.
I was loading the truck with funeral work, and keep a small stack of bricks for propping up the work for transport.
The bricks have holes in them, and were stacked maybe 3 deep, on the far side of the van.
I grabbed one layer off, and pushed the bricks against the container bottoms...closed the side sliding door, and went to get another piece.
I got it, walked out to the van, opened the side door, placed the piece inside, went to grab ANOTHER 2 bricks, and dang mouse was inside one of the holes, jumped out at me, missed, hit the ground running, and disappeared.
I had to go "change".......

AHA! I'm not the only one!

I can remember almost all of our account numbers with vendors, they phone numbers, passowords for everyone and everything, but I lose my glasses 10 times a day.

Our staff know it's in their job description to help me find my glasses.

Thanks for that vision... had to change, thats bad.( what a laugh)lol
 
This isn't recent but still makes me laugh out loud when I think of it....definately falls within the "doozie" category...

Leather leaf packs were individually sleeved within the waxed box. Designer (FC'er YaYa2005) grabs a bunch, rips off the plastic, taps the stems on the design bench to even them out before the fresh cut, and out pops a baby frog. Of course, it is well preserved but we didn't know that until the screaming and prancing had subsided.

To this day, individual sleeves are opened gingerly.
