A daft thing you've done recently

😂and how long have you lived there?

I was on the phone to DD last Friday morning when I had to open the door for an Amazon delivery, I took the parcel and said ‘thanks darling’ to a very surprised looking driver.
DD did the sigh and said ‘oh, Mum!’🤭

I defrosted the deep freeze.
Managed to catch myself on the opening catch.
Took 10 days before I healed.

I did a similar thing Oreo. I speak to my DD on the phone every day and I always sign off with "Bye, love you". The other day the surgery rang to tell me the results of my recent blood test --- you can probably guess the rest.

😂 bet it was their best call of the day, and they always want feedback don’t they?

I was reading the menu in a restaurant. When I got to the bottom of the page, I swiped my finger on it to move to the next one! Think I'm using my phone too much?!

Nodded off with a cup of tea in my hands....oh dear.

Long enough to know better

After searching every shelf in the veg aisle this afternoon I accosted a supermarket staff member to ask where the mushrooms were. With a very straight face he turned me round, yes, they were behind me. Don’t ask how many times I’d looked along that shelf.

I’ve lived in a bungalow for over 10 years clicketyclick and still think I’ll go and look out of an upstairs window when I hear an unidentified noise. Old habits die very hard with me 😂.

I have been known to point my car key at the house door and expect it to unlock

I'm moving house quite soon so have a lot on my mind.
Saturday morning I'd showered and started to dress. I put on my bra, reached into a drawer for a clean bra (nothing wrong with the first one) and attempted to put it on. Only when it felt odd did I realise that I was already wearing a bra.

So many of you have made me smile this morning.
My stupid thing was to buy a train ticket last week on Trainline, to go from Haymarket to Dunfermline. Arrived at Haymarket forgetting you have to scan the ticket to get through the barrier. I had buried my phone at the very bottom of my rucksack so had to completely unpack it. We missed the train we were aiming for. Dtr was not impressed.

Looking everywhere for my glasses - when they were on my head. Not a one off, I’m afraid!

Looking for my phone, when it was actually in my left hand! That was a one off, I’m relieved to say!

Going 5 miles to the garage to get my car fixed only to realise I’d forgotten my car (got a lift there so I wasn’t alone in that daftness).

Sometimes when DH is driving me somewhere and I see something unusual, I think 'I'll just wind that back'. I think I'm a TV addict!

Nellygran. You've reminded me of the time I was going home from work on the bus and seeing my car on the car park as we passed. I'd forgotten I had driven to work that morning.
Something daft I did this week..... called out the plumber because the shower was not working. He turned the switch to the left.....out poured the water. I felt an idiot. We both laughed about it. My lovely plumber didn't charge me for attending to the non existent problem.

My lovely daughter got dumped by her narcissist boyfriend and I wrote a poem about it and was going to send it to him.
Utterly cringe and luckily I came to my senses.

Some time ago, I called out an emergency boiler engineer because of the terrifying screeching noise our boiler was making. The boiler was in a base cupboard in the kitchen and every time the cupboard door was opened the noise got louder. The engineer couldn’t work out what the problem was, especially as the noise continued even with the boiler switched off. Eventually the penny dropped - someone had put a personal alarm in the drawer next to the boiler! 🤦‍♀️😂

There was a word I didn't understand in the book I was reading so I touched it to bring up the meaning - I was reading an actual book not an e-book

On a very hot day a couple of weeks ago I was going to visit a friend that lives round the corner, so I was going to wear my Crocs.

As my feet were a bit sweaty, I hastily puffed a large amount of talc in each Croc. As I walked along the street a couple of neighbours looked rather strangely at me and when I looked down I found my Crocs were puffing out large clouds of talc through the hole and it looked like my feet were on fire.

Thank you for posting yours which have given me a much needed laugh. I forgot another which I think tops my 1st one. A friend gave me one of those crystal stones which she said would bring a bit of amour into a relationship. Weeks later I messaged her saying there was no change in the sex life. I got a question mark reply. I then realised I'd sent it to the number below hers - a plumber. He didn't offer to sort out my pipework.

ClicketyClick that must have been embarrassing.

I tried to use my driving license on the bus instead of my bus pass.

I did that last week!
I also put my reading glasses on - when I'm already wearing glasses...
