Daft, silly or embarrassing things you have done?

I strapped DD2 into her car seat and left her in the living room while I went to look for my car keys. It was only when I got to Sainsbury's that I realised I'd left without her and she was still in her little car seat at home. :eek: I've never felt so negligent in my life before or since.

I've done the looking for glasses while wearing them. I also have woken up after a night out thinking that my poor eyesight has been miraculously cured.... only to realise that I have forgotten to take out my lenses.

lol I've done this! I actually thought it was a real life miracle:rotfl:

I came out of the shop after buying a stamp the other day, with my purse and an enveloppe in my hands. Got to the mail box, and promptly posted my purse.

Had to wait for half an hour till the postie came to collect the mail so I could get it back. He said it actually happens all the time...

I have actually done this, posted my purse and kept letters in my hand!

I've also put a tea bag in a cup then poured boiling water into the whole container of teabags, thinking this is wrong!

Went into Go Outdoors the other day and said excuse me as I passed a manequin in full North Face regalia.

Spoke to a price checking machine in tesco.... Always say thank you to the machine when entering a car par that dispenses tickets and I too say thank you to the cash point that gives me my money..

These are the things that I am aware of....God knows what other members of my family would disclose!!!!

Far too many to list but here's a few.
I've left the car at Londis 3 times( I usually walk there). I only notice when I get in sight of the house and wonder where the car is.

I often stand at the front door wondering why it isn't opening then realise I'm pressing the car key.

I once stood outside a shop and the doors didn't open so stepped back and forward a couple of times but they remained shut. I felt a bit daft when another customer walked up to them and pushed them open

I went to the petrol station, got out and the pump wouldn't work so got back in and moved onto the next one which wouldn't work either. There was someone at the one in front so I knew it was working and waited till he'd finished but that one didn't work either. Feeling annoyed I drove off only to remember as I exited the forecourt that I hadn't pressed the pay at pump or kiosk button

I went to pick the kids up from school one afternoon and it was only as we got almost home that I realised I was only carrying one bookbag and one lunchbox. The reason suddenly became clear, I had only picked one child up!
Leaving my son with another mum I ran back to school to see a forlorn little figure stood in the doorway, crying because the teacher was telling her she had to go to after school club. She has never let me forget that day :rotfl:

My most embarrassing has to be when I tried clothes on in a shop and walked out of the changing room in my bra and knickers. For some reaon I just completely forgot to put my own clothes back on :eek:

I think the most embarrassing thing I've ever done was when after a few drinks at my rugby club's posh summer ball, all dressed up, I decided I wanted to have a play fight with one of the players. I wont say how it ended but I woke up the next day to find my beautiful brand new dress ruined with pulls and runs down the front, my arms covered in bruises and what was left of my very expensive new tights scattered on the floor. The video is still doing the rounds nearly a year later....

I've done the phone thing as well.. I have two phones and was chatting to my Mum the other day, I idly wondered where my other phone was and realised I was talking on it

I tried a top on the other day and took my bra off as it was sticking out over the top. The top was too big so I took it off and put my tracksuit top back on - it was only when I went to pick up my bag that I realised I had forgotten to put my bra back on

I tried to unlock the wrong car once and wondered why the dam thing wouldnt open :rotfl:

Bought a pair of three inch heels to go out in the other day. Absolutely beautiful and all well and good until my mate pointed out that one of the guys we're going to see is only 5'7 and I'm 5'6 in my bare feet. The shop assistants in Next got a good snigger at that...

Returning to work after maternity leave, I parked up, got out of the car and was about to shut the door when I heard a murmur from the back seat. My baby was still in the car and I had forgotten to drop her off at the childminders - I always wonder what would have happened if she hadn't made a noise eeek

The fridge was playing up at work and kept cutting out. I decided to change the fuse in the plug. Because it didn't have a low amp fuse in the plug, the faulty fridge overheated and a colleague went to get some milk and opened the fridge to thick black smoke. She had the presence to switch off and unplug the fridge. We had to phone the fire brigade using 999 and I went back to serving customers and I could hear sirens as we were still serving. 3 fire engines turned up. They said it wasn't the fuse but I still felt guilty. Luckily head office never got to the bottom of it so I got away with it.

My husband left our newborn baby in the supermarket when she was 7 days old. I had gone off down another aisle. He met up with me several aisles away and I said "where's the baby" He was horrified. Luckily she was where we left her.

I went with my son aged 5 to buy new shoes. As we were trying on, he handed me a huge bogey. I told him off and found a tissue and said "next you need to blow you nose just ask me and I'll get you a tissue" "oh no" he said "its not mine, I found it under the chair" I felt sick!!!!

I'm always wearing my tops inside out, especially if we are off to the pub. I've also walked into the mens toilet by mistake at the pub

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

I will out my boss on this! I handed him a (male) colleague's card to sign and he signed it and put xxx at the end. Then spent 10 min trying to disguise the xxx.

I helpfully suggested that maybe he was unconsciously harbouring some attraction towards said colleague...apparently not

i once ran upto my mum in a supermarket and made a silly revving noise with the trolley only for the woman to turn round and give me a look of utter disgust ooops not my mum but in my defence she had same colour coat, same hair and was stood where id left my mum ive walked into a big yellow skip ,a lamppost ,id once been out with an ex who came back to my mums i went upstairs to the loo and on way back realised i couldnt walk down the stairs so slid down them on my bum only to stand up and my already short skirt be up round my chest and me flashing my bum to a full room

Years ago, I got off a train - when it wasn't at the station. It had stopped a little way before we reached the platform so I felt a bit daft when everyone watched me struggle to get back on again.

I've had the embarrassing moments of putting shopping into the trolley whilst chatting away to DH, only to see him laughing away to himself further down the aisle whilst getting funny looks from the trolley owner!

And yes I've called a teacher mum.
