Stupid things you (or a family member) did..

Edited on Wed Mar-29-06 06:41 AM by SoCalDem

My mother paid a guy $20 to take some old stuff out of the basement..

an oak rolltop desk so big we used to HIDE under the roll top, as kids

6 matching oak bookcases with clawfeet inlaid with ivory eyes (gargoyle faces on the carved tops).. they still had the original wvy glass fronts & skeleton keys..

and 6 chairs with carved backs & lions feet..ivory "claws".

and the books were all thrown in too..

They guy had 6 or 7 men there within 15 minutes and they hauled ass..and thanked my mother for the $20.00..

1. My brother once called the Piston's Ticket office and pretended to be Bob

Seger in order to get tickets to a game...actually, it was kind of smart. He showed up at the window and told them he was a stage hand, Bob couldn't make it...and got in the game anyway. :) We told him he was nuts...because he's a dead ringer for Charlie Sheen. ;)

2. My SO's mom threw away all her Star Wars toys a few years ago

The original ones. I mean, THE original ones... in very good shape. Threw them out.

OMG.

3. I was forced to leave 4 grocery sacks FULL of pristine comic books

because the cost too much to ship home.. I was careful not to mess them up when I read them, so they looked like brand new.. One whole bag was just Classics Comics.. I could probably retire on what they would be worth today :(.. 1955-62)

4. I sold

all my Star Trek and Space 1999 and Star Wars toys at a yard sale.

This was in the early 80's and I probably got 10 or 20 bucks or something like that. I remember I had a specific thing or event I wanted the money for but I don't even remember what that was.

All those toys were still in good shape and would certainly be collector's items worth a good bit more not just in a monetary sense but for sentimental value (I would've loved to share them with my son).

5. I packed my son's pants in my gym bag this morning

No, they don't fit. I had to wear my sweats to Target so that I could buy something to wear to work.
