My work have swipe card security on the doors.

Before now I have spent more than 10 minutes at a time trying to swipe into my house, with people walking past looking at me like I'm crazy.

oh yes this one
I forgot
I work over 4 different buildings and can they give me ONE card to swipe in all buildings
NO
I have 4 cards to get into buildings and another card to access one office
I stand there sometimes swiping card after card and getting nowhere
you would think I would just mark them
but in 2 years no I have not

Thank you so much to everyone for sharing, I needed a good laugh after a week from hell!

Just remembered a few more..

When we first met my boyfriend asked what the difference was between "normal" stuff and organic stuff, I told him that organic stuff grew in the ground! I didnt think he would believe me, but believe me he did, until about 6 months later when he did the grocery shopping, he came home not looking too pleased with me after he had seen some organic tampons in sainsburys!

He always liked to wind me up, we were long distance when we first met, and before getting the internet we would write each other the odd letter and send a few pics to each other through the post, he called me up one night and told me he couldnt read joined up writing, so I spent the rest of the night writing the letter out again all in capital letters!

I was trying to arrange to go over to spend the week with him a few months after we met, I lived in England at the time, and he lived in Belfast, I was talking to my nan on the phone and was telling her that the prices were very expensive to get a plane, she told me to just go on the bus, when I pointed out to her about the Irish sea being a bit of a problem she told me she had never noticed there was a sea between us!

My (long-dead) grandma once put a hot water bottle on the range and the kettle in the bed. I was tiny at the time, but the hot water bottle must have been horrible to get off!

My mother was a teacher, and once went to school thinking it was cold. She got to the staffroom, took off her coat and realised taht she'd forgotten to put her skirt on! Luckily in those days everyone wore petticoats!

Finally me... I have a reasonably good vocabulary that I am quite proud of, but once got my words muddled up, and said in a group of people I didn't know very well that I'd seen a lot of 'emancipated cats' in the neighbourhood. I meant emaciated. Cats Lib I guess??

Haha, I've done a similar thing after a particularly long day - trying to open the garden gate with my house key and being baffled as to why there was no keyhole!

I have just set off to walk down the street to the post box. As I picked up the letter that needed posting I also picked up an empty baked bean tin off the draining board to put in the recycling box in the garage on the way.

Got to the post box, realised I had the letter in one hand and an empty tin in the other. Whats even worse is that for a second I couldnt remember why!!

Ouch!! :eek: Reminds me of what I did a couple of weeks ago; I got my contact lenses mixed up and spent all day wondering why my eyes were really blurry! We'd gone away for the weekend and OH kept pointing things out to me to look at and I just kept saying, 'Oooh yeah, lovely...' but I couldn't see a thing! :rotfl:

I once drive 10 miles home in the early morning after a rather racey night out (ahem), while wearing 3 contact lenses. I had put two lenses in my left eye, and one in my right eye....

I had been so 'loved up' that I had absent mindedly put both contact lenses in my left eye. I then thought that I had dropped the right contact lens, so scrabbled around a for a bit trying to find it on the carpet. Then I decided to get my spare set of contact lenses out of my handbag (I always carried a spare set because I lost them so often), and put the right one in my right eye. Then I drove home.

It was only when I got home and took my left lens out that I realised that there were two lenses stuck together in there. I thought I'd been blinking a lot on the way home...



I hadn't even had a drink that night, because I knew that I would be driving.

:o


This was when I was much younger, so I didn't have the excuse of age either

^^I'm forever putting mine in the wrong eyes - dunno why, they are clearly marked. I have managed to put them inside out a few times as well


This thread has given me a good giggle :rotfl::rotfl:

My OH drives the majority of the time we go out together. But on the occations when I'm out in my car by myself I sometimes find myself walking to the passenger side of my car. It's a very long walk round to the drivers side!

The other day I bought what I thought was a lovely top from the shop. The 10 looked to big so I picked up an 8 (feeling chuffed to bits). I took it home and put it on finding it really tight round the middle and it had this bit of extra material on one side that I couldn't figure out. Turned out I just squeezed myself through the leg hole of one of those all in one short playsuit things. The bit of extra material was the gusset! :rotfl:

Oh and is it just me or does anyone else lose cups of tea? You know how you are at home doing stuff, you make yourself a brew then five minutes later you cant find where you put it????

I have just done that.
