A daft thing you've done recently

When in a rush picking up my daughters, twins, from reception class at primary school I grabbed the hand of one of them and the hand of a child I thought was the other one, and was outside the school gates before another parent rushed over with the other twin asking if she could have her son back whose hand was still firmly grasped in mine, and he hadn’t said a word.

Sorry that wasn’t recently 🤨

This thread is hilarious 😂
Last week I decided to pay a visit to the loo on the train before the next stop (our destination). It must be one of the shortest journeys between stations in the country. Friend banged on the door and I was flapped with the array of buttons, lock, close, open etc.

We missed our stop and hurtled onwards an hour away. Then waited on the wrong platform to go back. Missed the last country bus and had to take a taxi. Friend not thrilled with me…

I had the little battery powered radio on in the bathroom. A song came on I wasn’t keen on and I said “Alexa skip this song”.

I have a rare hereditary neurological my hands shake all the time.. This morning was sitting on my sofa feet up to eat my porridge as usual. I am right handed. Somehow missed my mouth and the porridge laid on my carpet on the left side some went into my slipper and on the top of the other one . 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Having twins myself that resonated with me😂and could have happened anytime.

Nothing worse than porridge in the clear up stakes is there?😖

My husband was panicking about a running dual lever tap. He said he had tried everything and it wouldn't stop. I closed the other side.

Re trying to click on actual books - when I first had a Kindle a few years ago I looked all around for my bookmark when I’d finished reading for the night!

The best thread ever!

I also point my car keys at the TV and expect it to come on.

The most cringe thing was years ago when we got the telephone engineer out because the phone wasn't working.
He asked if we had another phone and we said yes, upstairs.
He went upstairs, found the phone, replaced the receiver and then came down and walked out of the door!

I have on more than one occasion waltzed off with someone else’s shopping trolley in the supermarket.

A friend has just finished removing a window and climbing into our house to let us in as we got ourselves locked out (Yale snib). He's put it back in now - what an (talented) angel he is!

I can remember a host of times I've been absent-minded. One that occurs and I hope I haven't repeated was going to see the head teacher of a school where I was a governor, wearing odd shoes - one black and one navy. She never batted an eyelid, but I can't believe she didn't notice!

What a great laugh thanks everyone!

Years ago but I unlocked and got into a car in the supermarket (old car not with remote lock). Couldn't work out why the key didn't fit the ignition, then realised I'd got into someone else's car, the same colour as mine and parked a couple of bays away from mine! Oops!

I'm in London, all our buses have exit doors in the middle of the bus, I always call out "thank you" to the driver. Several times I've also thanked the tube driver.......get some funny looks from other passengers

When we were viewing houses 20 years ago I said to one house owner "can we see upstairs?" I'd forgotten that house was a bungalow.

My son and I were going out for a meal on Saturday evening. It had rained a lot during the day and when we got in the car, the windows were all misted up. I turned the controls to defrost and after a little while I said “The windows are misting down now.” !!!

Good job he’s used to me….

I was doing the reading in church. I only found out when I got there as I hadn't received the rota so I quickly skimmed the sheet on the lectern in case of tricky names or places. There were none so I relaxed. When the time came I went to the lectern, read the sheet then saw the pencilled arrow at the bottom of the page. I turned over . Nothing. The next part was on a second sheet, but the two sheets were stuck together so I found myself muttering an apology to the congregation before separating the sheets and resuming the reading.
Note to self : the rota now comes from a different email address so I should have known!

Last week, running late for aqua I pulled on my swimsuit and tracksuit and hurtled out of the door without my phone (has code to get into gym). The girl on the desk let me in, no problem, but in my haste, I’d also forgotten my towel!
Then I realised I had no

I fell over the dishwasher door the other night, giving myself a real wallop on the thigh and I have a huge bruise. After this the door would not close so we called the engineer. A week later he came, bent back the upstand on the bottom basket and closed the door - he said he'd never had to do that before, though he is regularly called to fridges that won't close because something on the shelf is in the way.

Years ago we were looking after a neighbour's cat while they were away for Christmas. We went in and my ex put the keys down on the kitchen counter while we sorted the food bowls and litter tray. We left pulling the door behind us and only realised the keys were inside when we came to lock the second lock. Each of us thought the other had the keys. We spent a good part of boxing day breaking back in. It involved removal of a letter box surround in order to get an arm through then eventually releasing the yale catch with a claw hammer! We did do a bit of damage to the internal wall for each time the claw hammer missed!

Growingold I once got into the passenger seat of 'our' car, but the man (rather startled) sitting in the driver's seat wasn't my husband!!
Wrong car

Got out a bowl for breakfast and washed some fruit in a colander, leaving it in there. Got out the yogurt and added it to the fruit in the colander! Looked at the fine mess I’d made and couldn’t work out what had got into me!🤣

Mr J once came out of our local Supermarket without paying, all the goods were still in the trolley and not in the bags he had taken in with him to pack. He sheepishly returned and one of the staff (who knows us well) said: have you forgotten something and he sad: yes to pay!
