Even if you consider yourself a pretty smart human being, chance are that you’ve done some dumb and embarrassing things in your life at one point or another, right?
Guess what? It evens happens to the really intelligent folks out there.
I’m talking about the doctors, the lawyers, the professors, etc. Sometimes those brilliant and hyper-educated men and women make funny and embarrassing mistakes that us mere mortals wouldn’t dream of…
The world sure is a funny place, isn’t it?
Let’s see what all of these smarty-pants got into in these funny tweets.
1. What’s that doing there?
Good thing you found it…eventually.
• I’m 39-years-old
• I have two degrees
• I’m a doctor
• I’m a member of a Royal College
• I have had, unbeknownst to me, a sock up my shirt sleeve all morning— Dean (@Herne_TheHunter) July 13, 2020
2. This is amazing.
Best tweet I’ve seen in a while!
I once booked an appointment at a chiropodist / podiatrist because my foot hurt. When I got there, I discovered there was a comb in my shoe. I am bald.

3. Hahahaha. Wow.
Your kids are gonna be in big trouble.
As a medically qualified lawyer I went to court and did a whole hearing with the back of my jacket covered in Winnie the Pooh stickers.

4. Are you hungry?
Well, just in case…
I’m older than you, have four degrees ( not trying to top trump you on latter two !) etc, etc I once took off my bra at a mammogram and a large leaf of lettuce flew out ! ?

5. Showing your *ss.
No one will forget this wedding.
At a friend’s posh wedding meal I went to the toilet and returned during the speeches, skirting round every table to get to ours at the far end of the room, with the hem of my floaty skirt tucked into the top of my pants/tights waistband. My whole arse was on show to the room.

6. A big error.
Now what?
I’m 50, deputy chief executive of a national organisation and yesterday I made this error. pic.twitter.com/AoUU3urEYi

7. Didn’t even notice…
Better start paying attention.
I got through the day until lunchtime (a while ago) before someone said to me what do you have on your feet. This was a sign I needed to slow down, I didn’t even notice the difference. pic.twitter.com/uGrpspHUDF

8. Red faced.
That’s not chalk!
Former teaching colleague put tampon in his jacket pocket to save wife taking a bag on a night out. Slightly red faced when he pulled it out next day to write on the board thinking it was chalk!

9. Are you crazy!
Get back inside!
As an attending psychiatrist, my son was hospitalized. He won a teddy bear at a pyjama party & asked me to take it home. I stood outside at night at -25°C dressed only in PJs & a coat, clutching a humongous teddy bear, trying to flag down a taxi. Luckily no one called 911 instead

10. This is truth, folks.
Makes me feel better, at least.
– I’m 38 years old
– I have a PhD in neuroscience
– I’m a parent
– I have got my tongue stuck to a frozen spoon, smeared toothpaste all over my face as I mistook the tube for E45, mown over the lawnmower power cable, cut my finger to the bone by cutting a bread roll in my hand— Vicca TJ (@DrVicca) July 13, 2020
11. Avoid all animals.
Haven’t you learned your lesson yet?
I’ve also been bitten by an unreasonable number of animals including penguins (on two separate occasions), geese, degu and a particularly nasty mini donkey.
The common sense is not strong with this one.

12. What’s that noise?
Ohhhh…now I got it.
I am 42 years old. I have two degrees and soon to start another.
I once took my car to the garage due to a clicking noise as shifted to second or fourth gear (but only sometimes)… It was the buttons on my coat sleeve hitting the plasticy bit next to the gear stick.— ?????? ? ??? ?? ????? (@LorenaHauton) July 14, 2020
13. Just to make sure.
You did that on purpose, right?
I worked in the NHS for 30 years…. one day I went to work with 2 watches…. on the same wrist!
