I just had one this morning. I have a bunch of books for a research paper that my art history teacher got for me on inter-library loan from other colleges. She asked me to return one that was due, and I swore up and down that she never gave it to me. I looked in my room for it, and it didn't seem like it was there.

This morning I noticed a rather thick book under my bed that didn't resemble any that I owned. With bated breath, I picked it up, and sure enough, there it was.

So I sent her a quick, apologetic e-mail, and returned it to the library. I saw her a few minutes ago and asked if she got my e-mail.

Her answer: "I did, and I'm going to kill you."

"Okay."

"You're going to be very, very dead."

What sucks most of all is that in not knowing I had it, I didn't use it for my research paper. And inter-library loan books can't be renewed.

Well, crap.

Share your doi moments! :D

Writing this is fun, and I can say anything, like "I have a bugger dangling from my nose!" I just hope that THIS TIME, I remember to hit 'delete' instead of 'sen-

Do you mean "DOH!" moments? You might have just had another. ;)

We grew up saying "Doi" - DOH is more Homer Simpson current:D

Uh...Meercat - you got a nose goblin there.

My doi moment this week...spending 1/2 hr looking for my office keys. They were in my pocket. One of many...it was a long week.

I didn’t have a “Doi/Doh” moment this week, but I did have an “Oh Shit” moment.

I got the mail yesterday and in the lovely pile was a "City of Chicago Revenue" envelope. Inside was a lovely $90 ticket with three pictures of my car and license plate. The worst thing about it is the picture makes me look fat. :D

Aww! Too bad it makes you look fat! I was going to suggest using the picture for the front of your Chrismas cards! My husband just got some similar pictures and that's what he plans on doing with his.

I sure hope I get more of those cute "traffic camera" Christmas cards this year. That way, when I get an actual ticket, I can cut out the one from the card and write DMV back with a terse: "Look, you folks have the wrong guy again! Send the ticket to THIS scoundrel in the picture!"

Hmm.I never heard of doi. I've been saying doh decades before there was a Homer Simpson.

Oh, wait, I do recall this horrible Robbie Benson movie where he was baby sitting a monky and I think the mob was trying to get it and to call it, Robbie kept saying, "doi doi doi doi doi doi doi."
