A daft thing you've done recently

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.

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

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!

What a great laugh thanks everyone!

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!

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

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!

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!

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.

Whiff

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 . 🤣🤣🤣🤣

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

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.

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

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”.

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…

Sorry that wasn’t recently 🤨

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

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

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

ClicketyClick that must have been embarrassing.

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.

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.

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

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! 🤦‍♀️😂

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.
