it is nice, but not always possible, to blame stupidity on something
I ran down the stairs, threw out my trash, and cheerily walked out of my building to my bicycle, parked across the street. Then I reached for my key. Wait a second... it wasn't there. I had consciously put it in the other pocket so as to segregate it from my house keys, and it wasn't there at all. In fact, it wasn't in either pocket, nor in my bag.Damn. I figured it was upstairs so I (not so cheerily this time) walked back into my building and up the stairs, until I was in the same spot I had been just a minute ago, at the front door of my apartment, except now I was breathing heavily due to the climb up.
I took off and shook my coat, looked around on the floor, and still: nothing. Well, I figured, the key has got to be between my door and the bicycle across the street. That's just how these things work. So again I started down the stairs, this time meticulously scanning the floor with each footstep. At about the third floor, I realised what happened. I had thrown out my key with the garbage.
I retrieved them. Then, I washed my hands.
What is more amusing, however, is that I had thrown out my whole BAG with the garbage a few months earlier. I blame that stupidy on motor skills, and fact that it was three in the morning and I had just woken up.

Why did you get up at 3 in the AM? Silly. Whenever I do stupid things (which is often), I always think of this quote: "Life is hard. It's harder if you're stupid." :)
I was actually volunteering, packing turkeys for thanksgiving!
