Your Greatest "Derp" Moment

[mitchell271]

Title pretty much sums it up, what's you best "derp" moment? Mind would have to be when I went to London. I thought I forgot my camera after checking in to the hotel. I searched my bags and didn't find it. A week later, I'm on the plane back to Canada and low and behold, my camera was the mesh pocket on the side of my bag that I never, ever use.

Derp

This one time, I watched Le Divorce. Another, I watched The Hangover. And one other time, I watched Napoleon Dynamite.

I felt pretty stupid after watching those.

I was looking around for a pen, getting really worked up, It was way past my bed time (I don't deal well with tiredness).

I was walking around the room, looking for this pen, swearing and generally being rather annoyed.

The pen was in my hand.

I think I facepalmed myself into a coma that day.

Doesn't that happen to everyone at least once?

OT: Recently, on a stats test, I showed my friend who I was tutoring how to get a certain problem after our midterms came back. I was explaining how very easy the question was and took out my own to prove it. My explanation was right but my answer was wrong. Regardless, I used my own correct explanation to try to prove that my answer was right. That didn't work. Derp.

Fast food place, got my paper cup and put a lid on it. I then went over and pressed it into the ice dispenser.

Forgetting my age and home phone number its not a derp moment as such because I always forget them its not like its useful info for me generally but it does make me look pretty damn stupid on occasion "so sir whats your age?" "er over 21 but below 30 is that good enough?"

Today, actually. I lost my jacket in fifth period. I care for my jacket something special, and I was convinced that somebody had taken and hidden it; not an unreasonable claim. See, a month or two back, somebody in that very class had taken and hidden one of my friend's belongings, so I figured it was the same asshole trying the stunt again.
I never really got mad, nor did I come all that close, but it's the closest I've been in a long time; I'm usually a pretty chill guy. So, after interrogating people for the better part of fifth period, I thought to ask my friend if he'd seen it, pretty desperate at this point. Coincidentally, his fifth period was the same class I had for third, so when I went in to ask him after class, lo and behold, I had left my jacket in there. Derp.
I swear I put it on before I left, though.

I do this with my cellphone all the time. If I had a nickle for every time I went "where's my cellphone/OMG I LOST MY CELLPHONE" while I was holding it/listening to music on it, I'd have close to a dollar.

And those few times I've gone "why isn't my car starting" and realizing it wasn't in park.

I was working an overnight shift at Mcdonalds and it was 3am, I was putting some nuggets in the deep fryer a bit to fast and one fell out of the cage they are lowered into the oil with.
I was hugely sleep deprived and reached into the oil to grab the nugget, worst pain I have ever felt to this day.

Zelda: Phantom hourglass, you can most likely guess which puzzle, involving a map and transferring. I totally lost my shit over how irritating that puzzle was.

At work my boss was heating up long metal rod for something. He asks me to help pick it up and bring it to his truck. After I had seen him using the torch on it, I go up and grab it, with my bare hands. Somewhere in my head, there was a faint "derp", hard to hear though over my scream.

 

[Kimarous]

N64 was my first console, Ocarina of Time was my third game for it, and Queen Gohma was my first "boss" ever. Navi tells me to stun her and attack the eye. I do so; I stun her, run up to her eye, and slash my blade! ...once. I wait, she gets back up, and proceeds to attack me. Repeat process. Stun, run up, single slash. This goes on for hours, including several deaths and retries. "Why won't she die?" FINALLY, I clue in that maybe I should, y'know, CONTINUE to hit her while stunned, and wouldn't you know it, THAT was the problem! Would've guessed?

At my high school convocation we (around 500 of us or so) were all seated and listening to the speeches and stuff. I was kinda bored, so I was looking through the program and reading the names and came across the name "Anas". I leaned over to my buddy next to me and said "Hey, check it out this guy's named Anus!" at which point the guy in front of me turned around and said "It's pronounced Ah-nassed". Turns out he was sitting directly in front of me... I was completely dumbstruck but my friend thought it was hilarious. I felt especially dumb when they had him stand to honor his achievements in Tae Kwon Do :S

Not mine, but one of the players in my DnD group. We had been going through a castle and had set off a trap but all made our reflex save to jump out of the way. We were now faced with a 30 foot cloud of acid in front of us. So after discussing a way to get through for a little while, our ranger got tired of waiting. "I'm just gonna run through it," he said.

Our DM stared at him, "Are you sure you want to do that, it's a cloud of acid."

After giving it a moments thought, our ranger perked up with a look of brilliance, "I'll hold my breath and run through it!" Our DM asked him again, to make sure that it was what he wanted to do. Our ranger remained stubborn though and boldly strode through the acid dying before he got to the other side.

Here's a hint guys, holding your breath won't do a thing when the cloud will dissolve you armor and skin.

Basically the same thing only with my car keys. I was late to school, tore up the room looking for my keys, only to notice a few minutes later that they were in my hand, one of my fingers was even through the keyring to make sure I didn't lose them...

 

[Shockolate]

I'd have to remember them all first...

 

[chaosyoshimage]

Greatest? I have so many I'm not sure how to rank them...

 

[PunkyMcGee]

there are to many to pick a greatest. but one that jumps in my head was the time I tried to snowboard in the summer i.e. without snow.

 

[reapersgrin]

first one was when i accidentally melted half of the chem lab in middle school. the acid went inert halfway through, no one was hurt. don't know if the derp was with the acid or me. but my greatest was when my best friends older brother bought me and my friend fifteen cookie n cream Hershey bars, i ate my fifteen in one night. next morning i woke with as the doctor described, "a hangover similar to that of a drunkard". DERP!
