    I was staying with a friend once. She went shopping and asked me to take a message if the phone rang while she was out. I forgot that it wasn't my phone and told the first two callers that they had the wrong number when they asked for her.

    Some lady got in to my mum's car a few years ago when she was picking me up, maybe it was you! ;)

    This thread has given me a right giggle this morning! Thanks everyone and keep posting :D

    Quite likely it was me. My other half refers to these embarrasing incidents as my wacky hobby :D

    One of these days it is going to get me into trouble. It does concern me that I might get into the car of an axe murdering type and never be allowed to get out. Unlikely but you never know _pale_

    One bloke tried to chat me up. Probably thinking I was some desperate sort trying my luck to get close to him. Considering I had just climbed into his car, squeezed his thigh and told a naughty joke before clocking he was not my OH it was hard to argue he had misread things I suppose :o

    When will I ever learn!

    We had our last car for 5 years. I drive almost every day and I drive about 10000 miles a year. A few months before we sold it I went down to the beach front to read the paper while sitting in the car - it's a nice spot. After I read the paper I decided to go home. I started the car, but it wouldn't budge. The engine was sounding fine but the car was stuck. I thought the gearbox had broken. I'd forgotten to take my mobile with me so I had to get out of the car and walk to the nearest payphone which was a bit of a walk away in Tesco's. I phoned my OH to take our son's car and come down for me and that I thought the gearbox was knackered. He swore a bit at the thought of having to get a new gearbox but he came down to pick me up from Tesco and take me to the car which was still at the beach. He got into the driver's seat, started the engine and managed to reverse the car no problem! I was baffled. He got out and I sat back in the driver's seat and realised that i'd moved the seat back to spread the newspaper out over the steering wheel, and then i'd forgotten to move the seat forward again. Our car was an automatic and usually driving is a no brainer, but because my legs had not been in their usual position i'd been trying to drive using my left foot on the brake, thinking it was the clutch, and at the same time as my foot was on the brake I was pressing the accelerator with my right foot. I felt very stupid as I pride myself on being a good driver. I tried for about 15 minutes as well. :o
  • I was talking to my mom earlier and she told me that my dad was fuming with my brother. Apparently my bro used dads laptop one night and had “broke it” so my brother went round to see what had happened . . . Anyway, laptop booted up fine, so he asked dad what the problem was, dad kept saying his “internet had changed!!!” (My dad’s only just learnt how to use a laptop BTW!) so anyway – bro logged on to his homepage (Well known search engine beginning with the letter G!) and my dad points to the screen and says “there – That’s what you have fked up!!”

    Can anyone guess....

    No?....
    The G**gle logo had changed – took my brother a while to explain it changes daily because he was crying with laughter so much J
    I am also forever looking for my glasses when i am wearing them - Quite a few times i have had to touch my face to see if they are there lol

    I wouldnt worry about leaving the baby - My mum used to leave my outside the shop all the time (she swears it was accidental!) It soon stopped though when i was about 2 and a half and i was able to undo the straps, climb out and wander off to my auntys for some pop lol

    I also ran away once, when i was 5 - with a local boy. We went to the library to read books - Well i say "we" - my mom tells me that he was sat sobbing he wanted to go home and i kept telling him to "shut up i want to read my little pony!!!"

    One day myself and girlfriends went out for lunch to celebrate my birthday. It was a lovely country hotel and I was in my element. My friends were treating me to lunch, and I thought, I am lucky to have such lovely friends.

    Anyhow, off I go to the loo, and on my way back noticed a few funny stares, and the girlies in stitches. I couldn't figure out what was wrong. In the end, in between much spluttering and laughing I was informed by my "friends" that my lovely summer flowery skirt was caught in the top of my knickers at the back, so everyone in the restaurant could see me and my tiny g string and big bum in all its glory.

    And to add insult to injury I had stood on the toilet roll and dragged the entire roll under my foot all the way back to my seat, just like the andrex puppy.

    Naked !!!, and toilet roll underfoot. I was delighted that this was pointed out to me. But I never noticed either!

    We still laugh about it twenty years on. I could tell more but that's enough for now.
  • I once saw signs on the motorway which were warning of heavy traffic and blocked roads near to my friends house , which would have made her late for the school run.

    I pulled off the motorway to call her and warn her , and promptly drove straight into said traffic jam :o:mad::D

    Ended up having to call her back to wait with my kids til i got through the jam :rotfl:

    It often happens that I ask my husband something, repeat the question about 3 times and get really annoyed that he doesn't answer me!!! Then I realise that I ask my questions in my mother tongue... which he doesn't understand...

    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 do this ALOT, worst was on a work collegues hen do with 20 rather posh women i'd never met before (i hadn't even been drinking at that point..) I shouted "TRAIN" as we walked to the hotel and one was going across the bridge :o
