Daft, silly or embarrassing things you have done?

I am the kind of person who puts the milk in the cupboard and the sugar in the fridge, I do this all the time and it never seems to click with me until a few minutes later. I also try to light my cigarettes with my rizla papers.

A few weeks ago I found my boyfriends mobile phone in the bedroom so decided to ring it to let him know he had forgotten it, only dawned on me when I heard it ring in the bedroom!

I was in tesco tonight with my boyfriend and our son, my "son" walked up beside me, I took hold of his hand and walked off, it was only when I got to the end of the aisle that I noticed this wasnt my son at all but a random child who looked up at me and ran off, We then got outside and I tried to unlock the car next to ours.

How about you?

When my daughter was congested with the cold my doctor told me to buy a steam inhaler and put a couple of menthol crystals in it. When I went into Boots I asked the young man behind the counter if he had any crystal meth.

I am cringing even just recalling this epic, regular occuring, mistake of mine. I have this habit of getting into the wrong car as a passenger. I am so oblivious to my mistake that I get to the point of starting a conversation, telling these complete strangers sat in the drivers seat what has just happened in the bank, post office etc. Usually I have done my seat belt up and asked "why are we still sat here, come on get with it, drive off" before the poor scared sh!tless driver asks who the hell I am.

To compound this error even more sometimes these cars have roof racks on, ours doesn't. Others have had kids in the back, particularly embarrassing considering I have been doing this since way before having kids of my own. You would think these little additions would make me realise THIS IS NOT YOUR CAR wouldn't you, but oh no not me.

My other half would be helpfully cracking himself up watching me make a total and utter idiot of myself from the safety of our car. So I may well catch up with one or all of you at some point. My advice, while parked up waiting for someone keep the doors locked and only let the person you are expecting in. Do something positive drivers to stop a fool like me making a twit of myself again. Pleeeeeeaaaaase

I dialled my sisters phone number on the TV remote and could not understand why it did not ring

my dads cousin had moved near us, and my mum being the nosey mare that she is was walking past their house having a good nose at how they had decorated the house instead of watching where she was going...... and walked right into a lamp post hehe

My dads relative had actually seen this, and whilst crying with laughter he opened the window and asked mum if she wanted to come in and see instead

Serves her flipping right for being so nosey! she still hasnt learnt though!

Me too - it is sometimes even the wrong colour as we have a black car and a silver car so I will get in anything vaguely resembling either. The last time was 3 weeks ago outside tesco when I got in and asked my hubby to hurry the f&#k up as we were going to be late, lovely gentleman looked horrified

Many years ago I worked in a filofax packing warehouse. It really was as bad as it sounds - 8 hr shifts just putting the diaries in them and then putting them in boxes. Not surprisingly I started to hate the things.

One night I went to Tesco with my Dad and he went in while I got a trolley. He was waiting just inside the door by the stationery aisle, and had picked up a filofax. I grabbed it out of his hands and shouted "you're not buying that c.r.a.p". Which my Dad would have found hilarious - if it had been him, and not some poor scared stranger

This thread has proper made me laugh out loud - collegues are now looking at me in a weird way

This is going to take some beating and i'm embaressed to even admit it.

I left my newborn baby in a neighbourhood shop once. I needed some groceries, the kids were at school so i sorted the baby out and toddled off with the pram. Got to the shop bought what i needed to and went home.

I got home and realized i'd forgotten something.... the pram. I litterally flew down that hill (nearly getting myself knocked over at the crossing when i couldnt wait for the lights to go red). Got to the shop and opened the door to a round of applause. Of course many of the people in there knew me anyway and realized what i'd done and were just waiting to see how long it would take me to realize what i'd done.

Even now i wonder how i could have forgotten my baby and i'm so thankful that others were kind enough to make sure she was safe.
