Senior moment.

Just sent a Whatsapp meant for my friend to my sister! Luckily nothing confidential.

Firstly let me say I’ve a stinker of a cold - my excuse anyway.
I’d finally got dressed yesterday and went to buy milk, when something fell on the floor out of my trouser leg - my knickers from whatever day I’d previously worn the trousers.
Hope I was quick enough to pick them and pocket.

That made me laugh. The same thing happened to my
son when he was a teenager, but in the school corridor, he
told his mates it was a handkerchief because he had a cold!

Years ago, probably in my early 40’s, I found a very large bottle of Comfort fabric conditioner in the bottom of our large chest freezer. How long it had been in there is anybody’s guess. So age doesn’t come into it! ?

I often have to ring my mobile from the landline to find out where I have put it. After a lecture on always putting it in the same place, DH had to do the same..
When younger did shoes of different colour act ..I taught infants who roared. Also got a phone call from a neighbour I left the front door wide open with my handbag on the step.
Had to give my telephone number this morning and gave the one from 10 years ago.
Last week I could not remember the credit card pin. When we were in my car husband driving we needed petrol I could not remember which side the fill was on he moaned then I said why don't you know you drive it more than me.
DH often has one of his socks and one of mine on I just pair two black socks together. He didn't fancy the pink pants that were in his drawer after yesterdays wash day though.
The worst ever a few months ago I was asked to pass sunglasses when in the car, I pressed the wrong button for the glove box and sent the hood flying back going down a very steep hill, we nearly went into orbit.

This morning I very successfully reached into a cupboard and withdrew a jar of coffee. Still with the coffee in one hand I opened the another cupboard for a mug. While proceeding to the kettle, the mug metamorphosed in it a jar of Bisto.

I was on a packed train when my mobile rang. I cannot stress how embarrassing it is trying to answer a glasses case in front of sniggering passengers. It was also impossible to escape their pitying looks but at least I managed to bring a bit of cheer to a boring commute.

I took my friend's dog for a walk while she was out for the day and couldn't remember where to take it back to! I had the front door key, but thought I'd be arrested if I went along the road trying all the doors.

Eventually let the dog off his lead and followed him home. HE knew where he was going!

I was on my mobile phone once when I was just about to go out, OH in the car getting impatient and I’m telling the caller that I can’t find my phone….the one I’m talking on!!!

Just today I was looking at a recipe from one of my little used cookery books (not one of nature's Domestic Goddesses) and read carefully through the ingredients list and method; I was completely baffled until I realised I had turned over two pages and the method was for an entirely different recipe.

Last year before I retired I was still working in a school. I had a couple of moments with mask wearing. The first time I was having lunch in the staff room and thought I'd put my mask on the table in front of me. As I was eating another teacher picked up 'my' mask. I panicked at the implications and said "Isn't that my mask you are about to put on?"His reply "No yours is hanging from your ear!"
The second time I was carrying a plate from the canteen to the staff room and the gravy began to spill over the edge. I caught it with my finger and went to lick it off forgetting I was wearing a mask and plopped a finger full of gravy right in the middle!

I once mashed potatoes in the colander!

Stopping off for something to eat after taking our grandsons on holiday I noticed the youngest one had his jeans on back to front ? he also went to school a few times wearing 2 pair of underpants

Yammy, if you look at the tiny illustration of a petrol pump on your car's petrol gauge you will see a weeny pump hose on its left or right. This is showing which side you should use to fill the tank. Useful when one really can't remember!

Dialling a phone number on the TV remote control.

I’ve tried changing the channels with the phone, and answering it with the tv remote. You’re in good company.!

I dressed my dgd and was so pleased she was colour coordinated until I sent her mum a picture her and was asked why id taken her out in her. Pyjama bottoms. ???

I went to the supermarket in a bit of a hurry and couldn’t understand why my shoes felt so odd. Well I have two pairs of shoes which are identical but one in navy and one in black. I had put on one left black and one left navy.!

Thanks for the tip I never knew that. I've also done it years ago when working I was asked to give a visiting speaker a lift home, She had been talking about Green issues and my car would only take leaded petrol, I realised I needed petrol and went in the wrong side had to reverse out and go in the other side with a bright red face . I was so busy thinking about what she would say about the leaded petrol.
The telephone number is because where I live now everyone just says Hello and not their number.

Nell8, I've done that too with the remote, I've also tried to turn the TV channels over with the phone.......it's not much fun getting older is it ?

Nanmyknee, I did exactly the same when I was working, bad weather put my old fashioned snow boots on, I hate the snow and frost, put my pair of shoes in bag, got to work changed boots for shoes and realised that I had picked up one of each pair of the identical shoes but one black and one navy. Asked my boss if he could see anything wrong and he immediately said you've got different shoes on, I couldn't wait for home time because I felt everyone was looking at my feet (they weren't....).

Yesterday in a very quiet museum I was looking at a display of wedding dresses in a large glass case. The couple next to me were studying an interactive display. As I moved away, my new handbag brushed against the glass and the noise sounded exactly as if I had let out an enormous fart. Blow me if it didn’t happen twice again in the same room with no one else in it.

Not so much a senior moment as a stressed moment when my children were young. I’d taken them to the seaside with my own parents and nephews and by late afternoon all the children were wittering about what they wanted for tea in the nice cafe. Having settled them all and read out the menu several times I went up to the counter to put in the order and promptly asked for chocolate sausages.

Made a pot of tea came to pour it out,but couldn't find it Another teapot made again went to the fridge for the milk and there was the pot of tea!

A few months ago I had a bar lunch and then went to view a house my son was interested in. It was a sunny day and a nearby shop sells delicious Mr Whippy ice-cream. So I bought one 99 for my son and one for myself, got back into the passenger seat and he started to drive round to the nearby park. I was so desperate for a lick of my ice cream I couldn't wait but when I lifted it up to my mouth it didn't make contact as I had forgotten I was still wearing a plastic visor! Ice cream all over it and dripping down my front. My son was in stitches. Didn't learn my lesson as I did the exact same thing a couple of weeks later! I clearly have no self control when it comes to ice cream.

Putting a cup of coffee in the fridge and then hunting high and low for it!
