    I actually went to the shop in my pyjama bottoms the other day :o i couldn't understand why people were giving me weird looks.

    And when i was working in my last job one night at home i'd ordered a takeaway and at the end of the call said "thank you for calling w****** h***" :o i always order online now

    I also uploaded some pictures from NYE to facebook, and when looking through them realised my boob had fallen out of my dress :eek: that got deleted pretty quickly but i dread to think what people saw on the actual night

  • 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.

    Mine are usually in the microwave- tea gets cold so I give it a quick blast to warm it back up. Three days later I realise that we're missing a cup and begin searching only for OH to walk straight over to the micro and retrieve it :o .


    My mum used to leave coffees around all the time. When I was on a Spanish exchange she took the time to tidy my bedroom but left a coffee mug in there. A fortnight later I thought there was an unusual smell in my room and found a penicillin experiment _pale_ :eek:
    They call me Dr Worm... I'm interested in things; I'm not a real doctor but I am a real worm. :grin:

    I've done the mismatched shoes before - navy shoe on one foot, black shoe on the other - thought there was something stuck to the sole of one shoe and waited until I got to work to sort it out, and that was when I discovered my error.

    My friend has a downstairs bedroom with an ensuite which she sometimes lets out on a b&b basis. She hadn't had many customers for it so she and her boyfriend moved into it thinking the b&b business was over. Out of the blue she got a call from Frank from Wicklow who needed a room for a Saturday night and since every penny is welcome she booked Frank in. Everything was OK the night of Frank from Wicklow's stay, Frank arrived paid his money and was perfectly pleasant, and my friend and her boyfriend went out for a few drinks. In the morning my friend noticed her boyfriend's shirt hanging from the door handle of the room Frank was in. So she went and woke her boyfriend up and he said that he was a bit tipsy the night before and forgot that Frank was there, went into Frank's room, left the light off thinking the lump in the bed was his sleeping girlfriend, got undressed and hopped into bed. Poor Frank let out an almighty roar! My friend's boyfriend grabbed his trousers from the floor and ran out, remembering he was supposed to be sleeping on one of the sofas that night. Frank got his breakfast served by my friend, nobody said a single thing over their cornflakes...but Frank never did come back!! It was a bit odd that Frank didn't lock his door, but then he probably didn't anticipate that some Irish builder would be getting into bed with him.

    I am a naturally clumsy person, I am covered in bruises and scars from various accidents. But the most embarrassing thing happened just before xmas. I've never been so mortified in my life.

    We were having a big clear out at home, we had already taken a few bags to the charity shop and were now at the recycling centre. After carrying several boxes full of paper etc and the recycling guys nodding at me to put them in the right skips I had one bin bag of general waste. The guy stopped me and despite me protesting it was general rubbish he ripped the bag open to make sure. Lying on top of the rubbish was my old vibrator, he picked it up and said "If there's any batteries in it, it needs to go down to the end skip" :eek: I mumbled that it was empty so he threw it at his mate who laughed and threw it in the tip. :o I jumped in the car red faced wishing the world would swallow me. My boyfriend hadn't realised what had happened and was telling me we hadn't finished yet there were still boxes in the car boot to move and to come and help him! Not a chance, I was too busy trying to slide down in my seat avoiding the stares from the recycling guys. If I had the car keys I'd have driven off without him!

    I've not been back since. My boyfriend now has to go alone or we drive to one further away. :o

  • Having two little ones I'm always pointing out "oh look a doggie" and "look there's a horse in that field" and then comes the (very few) times I am alone walking down the street and say "ahh look at the doggie" and I get some very strange looks from the dog owner!

    I once put kisses on a bosses 40th birthday card. Pass the tippex!!!

    A director's 1st name is Wenje. When I sent them an email my spell checker picked this up as a mis-spelling and offered a replacement, which I accepted. When he opened his email he would have been greeted with "Dear Weenie"!


    I've done similar... my boss's name was Patrick and he could be difficult at times. Anyway I was arranging lunch for him and a client so I sent the client's PA and email... her reply had the title of "Lunch with Pr*ck" and I thought to myself... cheeky mare.... she doesn't even know him!!! but it turns out that my subconcious was shining through and I had entitled the original email that!!

    I am incredibly ditzy at times.... which people who don't knowme find hard to believe because I hide it so well.
    Man plans and God laughs...
    Perhaps travel cannot prevent bigotry. But by demonstrating that all people cry, laugh, eat, worry and die, it introduces the idea that if we try to understand each other, we may even become friends.
