another one...( I have tons)
When I was young and single I had a house with a nice long drive up to it through a gate which was lockable , but you could see the car from the road driving by.
Now my girlfriend at the time had to drive by my house on the way to her house so she could check to see if my car was on the drive.
Well being the low down duplicitious asshole I am there was an occasion when I didn't want her to realise I was home at home , so I came up with a cunning plan.
( A lot of of my "dumb things" start off with me thinking "I have a cunning plan" actually)
Put a line of hedged pot plants in front of the car and from the road it will look like there is just the hedge.
Unfortunately that night it was very windy that night and all the plants were blown over ( oh and the peice of plyood that was part of the disguise)so the next evening I had to come up with a complete bullshit story why the entire rear of my car was scratched to shit.
Oh what a tangled web we weave....
