Dumbass Move of the Day V3

Friday it was fricken 70 degrees here in Denver! Talk about crazy for January. Both my bosses left work about 1pm, so I took off around 1:30. 4hr days make me extremely happy.

I walked outside, dropped the top on the Jeep and drove to my parents house where I played with the dogs and did a little work on the Jeep, as I usually do when I have free time. It was a great Friday.

Saturday I went snowboarding with a buddy and we got some awesome runs in. We took a lift as high on the mountain as we could, and then we hiked this ridge for a bit to get a good drop in down one of the chutes and into the bowls.

 

After this run, things got sour. I got a little hungry and reached into my pocket to grab one of my three granola bars. We did a few more runs and headed down the mountain.

It was about 1 when we decided to do one more run and call it a day...

I reached for my pocket to grab another granola bar...

Wait a second. Why is that pocket open?

Why are my granola bars not in there?

More importantly... Did I move my keys to another pocket?

SHIT!!

When I grabbed the first bar, I forgot to zip my pocket back up, and it was the same pocket I put my car keys in. I had only wiped out one time since then, but I had made multiple stops and sat down. We raced back up to the top of the mountain in hopes that we could comb the runs we did and find my keys. They obviously had to be sitting with 2 granola bars, so we searched and searched for those damn green wrappers.

No luck.

This dumbass lost his keys on the mountain. Oh and it gets worse...

"Just have someone drive your spare up" Jim said. That would have been a great idea except for the fact that I don't have a spare!! That was it. The only one. No others. I was fucked.

This is what I thought I was gonna have to do.

Luck would have it though, that my Jeep is still in my parents name. They also had a copy of the registration. And, it wasn't 5 o'clock yet, so they ran to the dealership to see if they could get a copy made. Sure enough, the delearship has all that on record, and my Jeep was made one year before they started installing chips into the keys, so they could just make me a copy and it should work. One year later and I would have had to tow it down to the dealership for them to program the key. That solved my key issue. Next was how do I get home? This is when you know who your true friends are. My buddy Chris drove 2hrs to pick my ass up. Then we drove 2hrs back home. Sunday I had another buddy drive me up and thankfully the new key worked. I think I'm gonna owe them beer for awhile.

What a weekend! It was a giant pain in the ass, but it all worked out. So here is some dumbass advice for all of you... MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A SPARE KEY MADE!!

Dumbass move of the day V2

Classic "door in the face" moment of shame today at lunch...

So me and a buddy from work went to buffalo wild wings lunch and on our way out, there were 2 very attractive women at the front waiting for their take out i'm guessing, because they were sitting down and it wasn't busy at all. Anyways, John was walking in front of me and was the first to the door so he was the one to open the left side of the double door... As I was making my way to the door, I was totally staring at one of the girls as she looked over at me. I smiled a bit and she was smiling back when... SMACK!
I didn't quite make it out of the left side of the door that John was holding open.

While i was completely engulfed by this womens smile a didn't notice i was no longer headed for the open door, but rather the closed door on the right, and sure enough I walked right into it. I heard some laughing coming from the direction of the girls, but I just looked up at the door, smirked, shook my head shamefully , and continued out the open door.

Way to be Ryan, way to be.

Dumbass move of the Day

Don't you just love the moments in your life when you can truely call your self a dumbass?
Example...
Got my new debit card in the mail yesterday to replace my current one that expires this month. I pulled out my phone not too long ago and called the number on the sticker to activate the new card. After the automatic operator says, "Your new card has been activated" I turn, grab my scissors, and proceed to cut my old card into little tiny pieces in hopes that someone dares to find all the pieces in the trash, put them back together, and steal my identity. HAHA...

Well the jokes on me this time. This dumbass right here grabbed the wrong card to cut up. So as I thought I was cutting up my "Old card" in reality i was chopping away at the card i just activated. Great! Now i have no debit card what so ever since the old one was deactivated when i activated the new one. The best part of this story is when I called my bank's customer support to tell them what i had did and as I got to the part of, "Sooo after i activated it, i accidentally cut it up." I totally heard the woman on the other end chuckle!! Bet my story will be told around the coffee machine tomorrow.
Can't you see it now...
"Get this. So yesterday I had a gentleman on the phone who proceeded to tell me that he activated his new card and then cuts it up!! Who does that? What a dumbass!"
