Daftest 'forgetful' moment

I was about to walk past a man in the supermarket and he stopped me, " I am sorry I didn't recognise you with your clothes on " I said. He was a member of our badminton club and I usually only saw him in shorts and sports shirt. Turned a few old biddie's heads that evening.

We were living with my MiL, she lived on a busy commuter rat run. There was a knock on the door, a man holding out a baby...Is this yours? Oh no mines in the kitchen! He had crawled around the side entrance and across the road!?

Years ago, while still working, I often took a lunch break to run an errand or two. On this particular day, I went to my car and realized that I hadn't locked it. Grumbling over my absent mindedness, I got in, sat down and about to put the key in the ignition, when an unfamiliar pair of gloves on the console caught my eye followed by a sustained, low, menacing growl behind me. Looking through the rear view, I spotted the tiniest mite of a Chihuahua, baring all its teeth at me from the back seat. In that single, horrifying instant, I knew I was in the wrong car! I hopped out as quickly as I could and slammed the door shut with Chihuaha now barking at me hysterically against the glass.
Thankfully, I found my own (identical make, model and color) car three spaces down, in the same row of the company parking lot!

My mad moments are happening more and more frequent. The other day I couldn't fathom out why the cutlery and salt n pepper pots had disappeared from the dining table. Turns out I'd taken them upstairs and put them on the bed. I've even put an empty milk carton behind the bathroom door! Must have had a 1960's throwback moment that time

I did that on the bus with the local lollipop man...it made his day!

I presented my Matalan card in Primark the other day. I'm sure the many people in the queue were thinking poor old lady ?

Some years ago I took the car to work then walked home..... I had to return to work on the bus to collect the car. Doh!

And have presented my Boots card in Superdrug; Co op card in Asda.

I gave my Morrison's card to the man on the till in Sainsbury's, he said he could bar me for that, he would actually be doing me a favour as ours is the pits all automated.

My friend and I had a weekend in London recently. Called in Harvey Nicks for coffee and buns.
Was recounting this to husband and said " my friend had the best muffin of her life in London ".
Was given a very dark look, still not sure why as he wouldn't say.

Standing in front of a class of stroppy 14-year-olds, I told a trouble maker that I would 'have it off with him after class'. Cue howls of derision from the mob. Of course I meant to say 'have it out'.

Those difficult times when you meet someone you know but in a different place are so awkward. I was trying to chat away and desperately thinking .... who are you when the person said to me 'you've no idea who I am I can tell'. She was right.

Fetish tyre ....so funny.

Mine was also a person out of context moment... walking round the Supermarket with my husband I saw a man whose face I knew really, really well, actually quite intimately. I knew he had a small mole just under his right ear.. the colour of his eyes etc, so I must have been quite close up BUT I just couldn’t think who he was. He smiled and we walked on. Much, much later ( and to my relief) I realised he was our dentist...and he usually wore a mask!! ?
