Further Senior Moments !

I recently did a food delivery shop and instead of clocking 6 pm in the evening, clicked 6 am in the morning. Got knock on the door at 6.10 am and wondered who on earth it could be at that time in the morning

When I was a young girl, my mum put Algipan on me instead of sun tan lotion. She couldn't understand why I was jumping about. I was burning more

I just ordered a pair of shoes. Twice. Same shoes.
From different places though and one pair was 13£ less.

Had a nice walk to supermarket and filled a trolley. Couldn’t find my car in car park. Penny dropped and wheeled trolley to taxi office. Chatted to taxi driver on way home before waving him off with my shopping in the boot!

Got in a panic not able to find my car keys to go home when out with a friend, then she reminded me she had driven me in her car.

Have mixed up dry shampoo and deodorant before now, so ended up with odour-free hair and grease-free armpits.

Wombat, nearly chocked on my coffee over your post???

Thankyou for the smiles,I'm feeling very reassured as can identify!

Lots of laughs on here today ?
I’ve had many senior moments. Putting my purse in the fridge being one. Turning up for appointments on the wrong day or time. The worst honestly has to be when I was twenty four and just had a new baby. I went to the supermarket proudly pushing my pram. There was an area where you could leave your pram safely with a staff member. I did my shopping and on my way out, I forgot to pick my baby up!!! I carried on happily shopping until it dawned on me. My baby! I ran all the way back to the supermarket where a smiling lady asked “have you forgotten something?” Red faced I collected darling baby and swiftly left the shop.
So not a senior moment at all. I put it all down to hormones. ?

I went to put the cat out of the back door but it was raining so I put him out the front! ?

My mother left me in my pram outside the greengrocers in the village and walk home...about a mile. I was her third child.
.
I like to try to blame this early trauma for any of my troubles in later life but Apparently I was perfectly happy

I came out of work and jumped into the car next to my husband sat waiting for him to start the car turned to ask him why he hadn't to an angry looking stranger whoops

Without looking, I reached out for my eyedrops tube and managed to put cuticle cream in my eye. Uncomfortable but not lethal.

If my friend, Jen, had read those comments about hairspray under the arms instead of deodorant she would have said: Serves you right! you should have been using a roll on. (She's saving the planet one day at a time.)

My ex and I got up really early to make the 3.5 hour trip to the airport, so he could see me off.
We had my case, he had a big rucksack full of things he'd need for his day.
We had to time the buses to get to the airport on time, then when we arrived I'd got the day wrong - my flight was the next day.

So we had to do the whole journey back to his.

I cycled a 7 km round trip specifically to go to the chemist for pain-killers.

Got back home and was unpacking and putting away a mountain of shopping, when I realised I had never been to the chemist!

So off I went again.

This happened three months ago and there haven't been any more incidents, but it had me worried.

Daisy- came out of the supermarket searched everywhere for car - panic stricken rang my DH and said that someone had stolen my car. After a shouted “what!!’said your car is on the drive - you took mine!!!

I regularly leave my walking stick by the shop counter, ten wonder why I'm not walking too well.

I was in the library one day, husband got tired standing and waiting so went to sit down. I checked out my books, looked round for him, recognised as I thought his bald spot, marched over and thumped him on the arm and said “are you right then” and a bemused stranger looked up at me.
Another time I went into a shop, looked back to check where we were parked, came out, same couloir car parked in space, got in, a startled stranger looked at me! Husband moved the car while I was gone. Well.....it was the right colour!

then, sorry

Oh I’m finding this thread strangely reassuring and very amusing.
Walsing you must have strange weather where you live! ?

Hmmm... do I dare?

Yup, I do!! Please scroll past quickly if you are of a sensitive disposition...

Scholl Cracked Heel Cream and tube of lube on the bedside table. Well, easy to mistake one for the other in the heat of the moment!! We may never get over it!

I too can lay claim to forgetting children when shopping. I made all 4 of my children wait outside the shop, they were being unruly after school pickup. Hence I did my shop, drove home 4 kms away and realised I had forgotten them. Felt a fool going back into town to pick them up. My daughters watched me walk past them and get in car and wondered how far I would get before I remembered them. Don’t think they will ever let me forget.
Another time, I had left my 4th child at home on the bed, all of 5 days old. I had driven to visit my parents some 25kms away and it wasn’t until I pulled up and went to get all 4 out of the car that yes I had left her at home. Oopsy.

Thankyou all for the laughs, just what was needed after a very busy day

My mum once washed her hair with hand cream. That took a loooooooot of rinses!

Nipped into a local mini mart on my way to caravan for the weekend with grandkids in the back of car. First time I’d been in shop since lockdown so was a bit anxious. All fine, I came out of shop with bag of goods and put it into the boot, climbed into car and turned to speak to grandkids but they weren’t there. Panic, then I realised it wasn’t my car. Mine was behind it and grandkids were watching me, in amazement. I retrieved my shopping and made a quick getaway. I’ve never lived it down.

A couple of years ago dh and I went to the London Festival Hall for a concert - IIRC the St Matthew Passion - it was around Easter time.
We duly found the right concert hall, but there seemed to be no other audience there, and there was apparently some sort of rehearsal going on.

Wondering whether it was the right auditorium on the ticket, we eventually found a couple of staff to ask.

‘Er, your tickets are for March next year!’

At least it gave them a good laugh, and we did manage to join in. Not an entirely wasted journey - we had a drink on the riverside terrace, followed by a walk along the river.
