    The "Complete Goose Outta Yourself" thread.

    Not so long back we decided to have a bit of a farewell get together with a group of our friends, as we were about to start our trip around the country .

    During the afternoon my wife happens to bring up an event that happened to me a few years back. This was one of those events where you have made a “Complete Goose Outta Yourself”, and realise it about half a second after it happened and are looking for somewhere to hide.
    Almost everyone at our get together told a story where they had made a “Complete Goose” outta themselves. And there were some classics.

    Still confused ?? . Read on.
    Here is my "Complete Goose Outta Yourself".

    Ok, some years back I had been having a few problems with a computer. While walking along the main road I see a sign on the footpath saying “Computer Repairs”, cool, I thought, I will go and check them about. I walked into the shop and headed to their counter, they even had stools for the customers to sit on.

    Anyhow a guy asks, “Can I help you”. Sure, I start talking to him about my computer and his responses are quite vague. After about 10 minutes or so of this, the guy tells me that they send their computers out to be repaired. I decided that these guys know jack crap about computers, got up off the stool and started to walk towards the door. I start looking at the posters on the walls and then it happened. I realised that I had just made a “Complete Goose Outta Myself”.

    I had walked into a Flight Centre shop. [/I] Man I couldn’t get outta there fast enough, “don’t look back, walk fast, don’t look back, faster, go, go,c'mon, don’t look back”.

    Thanks very much, Flight Centre guy. (I am being sarcastic), you could have told me I was in the wrong shop and the computer shop was upstairs. Did you really think I was some sort of nut and didn’t want to upset me?

    So now I say, step forward forumites, and submit your, making a “Complete Goose Outta Yourself” story.
    [I]Name withheld on legal advice, don’t want to get committed.

    I don't know about the goose outa yourself bit, but what about taking one foot out to put the other one in,

    Was at a work get together sitting at a table with a few mates and I start slagging off about this bloke I used to work with(nothing too bad) but it turns out the blokes sister has just started going out with one of my mates and she is sitting there listening to the whole thing.

    After this was pointed out, I kind of wanted to crawl up my own backside,

    I felt better when she chimed in and slagged him off too.

    Yeah I have done it as well.

    My big beer fridge freezer compartment was all frosted up, tried hot water in a saucepan but too slow???
    Got my butane soldering thingy and tried that but it started to melt the compartment???
    So out with the ice pick, my wife said you are going to wreak the fridge, not me I replied I know what I am doing...............all was going well until I heard a psssss sound, yep put the ice pick straight through the side of the freezer.
    Tried to stop the gas from escaping with everything from a match to a tek screw.....................end result, wife laughing her head off and me up for a new fridge...lol

    My friends oldies have a beach house down at Venus Bay. Someone in the area was going around stealing mowers, slashers and general garden ornaments.

    One day they had a BBQ and invited the locals around. They were talking about the robberies in the area and my mates oldies said how someone stole their mower and they laughed and said how it was a piece of junk and didn't work anyway.

    Next minute someone at the BBQ accidently said "Nah it works fine actually"...BAHAHHAA....Busted!!!!!

    Not sure what eventuated after that but I'm sure it was great!!!!

    Where to start.

    I was doing some work on the bathroom plumbing. Disconnected the U bend from under the basin, being careful not to spill the water it contained into the cupboard. Removed the pipe and poured the water down the drain of the basin I had just removed the pipe from!

    First time I did an oil change on the Patrol I was so careful and did not spill a drop of oil! Was so proud, when I was cleaning up I dropped the drain tray on the grass...
