Daft, silly or embarrassing things you have done?

I've done a fair few of things mentioned already...

Binned the yoghurt, and left standing with a lid wondering what went wrong...

Cracking an egg, chucking the egg in the bin, and keeping the shell.

Was meant to be going to a leaving "ceremony" at work at the end of the day for a director, didnt want to heft my bag around, so decided to put it in the boot of my car. Unfortunately, i left my car keys in it, as i realised as i slammed the boot shut. Also in my car was my wallet, so didnt have cash to get home on public transport to get my spare key, but my door keys were in there too so wouldnt be able to get in anyway. Had to get the security team to try and break in to my car (luckily it worked!).

I've poured chicken stock straight down the drain in the past, and been left looking at a sieve full of bones and carrots.

Our front door doesn't always close easily, especially in damp weather when the wood swells. Obviously I always make sure it's properly shut as I leave. One day I arrived home from the school run to find it ajar. :eek: My blood ran cold thinking we had an intruder, I hurried the children into the front room while I checked every room, stairwell, cupboard and loft. I was absolutely terrified, then as I realised the door must have not closed properly as I left.


I've never confessed this to my OCD other half, who has been known to drive past the house several times to check he closed the door properly.

My dad has lost two mobiles and a laptop in the same way:
Open car door
Balance one armful of items on the roof while inserting the other armful into the car
Get into the car and drive off........



Search neighbouring fields fruitlessly for mobiles and laptop. :rotfl:

Oh I did domething like that last week! Cooked pasta, lifted the pan, poured the water into the sink then the pasta into the bin, all in a few fluid steps.

I've also put ice in the ashtray instead of my drink a few times. Oh, and squeezed a good amount of washing-up liquid in the washing machine drawer instead of Persil.

I get distracted....:p

I once reported my car stolen to the Police, completely forgetting it was in the garage having its MOT.

Also, I once rang the Dog Warden to let them know my dog was missing, and to call me if one fitting her description turned up .. Just after that phonecall I suddenly realised that I had left her in my car on our return from a walk!

Oh dear I feel I am no longer special after reading all these!

I'm excellent at injuring myself.

Whilst explaining to the then OH how sharp the new knives were and to be careful, then promptly lost part of my index finger.

I've sprained my thumb pulling the chain at work toilet, great fun writing in incident book yet alone explaining to doctors..

Forgot the old glass shower door moved quite freely, tried and failed to hold onto it and promptly slipped back and knocked myself unconcious.

Grabbed a pan off the hob the other night after changing my mind what I was going to cook. Forgetting I'd already put the heat on.

Fell over a commode chair at work after getting my shoelace trapped in it. The fall really hurt my hip but I was too ashamed to admit my foolishness and explain myself in A&E so pretended was nothing and spent 4 weeks limping dosed up on painkillers..

Frequently put the butter in the cupboard and the crackers in the fridge and other things in the kitchen where they shouldn't be.

Drove off the other week with my water bottle on the roof...

Spent 25 minutes trying to get out of a hospital two weeks ago after visiting a friend and going full circle on myself.

Mopsypops the telephone reminds me of when I changed job a few years back, kept answering as old companies name oops!

Oh how could I forget this one!

Had a really special moment just before Christmas. I was at work, but had an appointment elsewhere..so I unlocked my locker, changed my top as didn't want to wear uniform there (I work in a hospital), put uniform in locker, promptly locked it and went for my appointment. Approximately 20 seconds before consultant called me in, realised my uniform had my locker key still attached to it. I then mumbled my way through a pretty important consultation over scan results and told him of my shame. This part made it it also onto my notes, and in the copying letter to my gp, so they too know now what an idiot I am.

When I got back to work, I had to phone estates and wait for the carpenter to come and break into my lock. I now have a spare key taped in a separate location.

I can't stop laughing and am so glad that I'm not the only one!!

I've also: put both cats in their travel boxes, driven to the cattery and then realised that the cats were still both at home.

Left my DD's drink on top of the car and driven off having safely strapped her in.

Walked out of Sainsbury's having shopped and paid for the groceries but leaving them on the checkout.

Adjusted my glasses when not wearing them.

Tried to remove my contact lenses while not wearing them.

Driven to town, parked, shopped and then on getting home realised that the car was still in the car park.

Have a mental block when talking to others. OH asked what I wanted for breakfast, I looked at the bagels and said, those muffins will be nice with eggs, he then picked up the bagels and went to put them in the freezer, I said "Oy, we're having those muffins for breakfast" he just looked at me... took me a little while to realise.

I have also been hanging out washing, looked at an item of clothing and thought, that didn't wash well. And then realised that the clothing was still dry as I had put it in the machine and not pressed the start button.

Shopping with my ex's Mum when she asked what colour pepper I wanted (green, yellow or red)

I replied with -

'PINK'

loud enough for everyone to hear

:rotfl:V funny stuff on here :rotfl:

Was reading it earlier and thinking about posting about the time I put the oven on to heat, then went out without putting the chicken in. Ha ha, that was funny I thought. Then I thought 'hmmmmm, best go out to oven and put in the beef that's been sitting on the side for an hour then' :rotfl:
