parked at the cinema and came out and couldn't find the car,even although I had counted the rows back from the door when I parked it so I knew where it should definately have been. panicked and was just going to phone the police when I met a friend and he asked what was wrong, then asked quietly are you sure you came out the correct entrance - there are two different ones! felt stupid - went back into the cinema and out the other entrance and there was my car!

I carefully transferred all my things, keys, purse, phone into a new handbag, then left the house with the original one.

Luckily my husband was home when I returned, and could let me back in.

I recently sprayed dry shampoo under my arms instead of my deodorant! Whoops ;-) Luckily I was in the bathroom so nobody else knew!

My Mum proclaiming loudly and scathingly, in an intimate restaurant, how disgusting it was that someone's mobile phone kept ringing......before realising that yes, it was indeed her own new phone.

A few years ago I took my elderly mum to tesco shopping. She was in her wheelchair but insisted that she asked for her lottery ticket as she felt lucky that day.
At the counter she asked for a 'Quickie'.
The shop assistant creased over laughing and asked her if she meant a Lucky Dip. She replied "Oh, yes that's it but I wouldn't mind the other as well if you have a young man available ! " She was 90 then.
I still shop there and the same assistant always remembers me although Mum passed away 7 years ago.

I'm always doing something or other. A few weeks back I was shocked to find the cereal box in the fridge - I'd put the milk away in the cupboard...

Please keep them coming!

After ordering a meal and a drink in a pub - I never remember to wait for the drink before returning to my table

Getting home from the supermarket, unpacking my shopping and discovering I had bought 2 cucumber halves.

I took my glasses off to talk to my OH (as you do), when I finished talking I picked up my mug of tea and put it on my head instead of my glasses

When I came out of a restaurant cloakroom with a whole roll of toilet paper attached to the waist band of my trousers billowing behind me. I could hear tittering and giggles as I walked by and I still shudder at the memory of looking behind me to see the white cascade of paper following me

I was at my friends and I offered to make a coffee. She uses filtered water due to limescale, which she keeps in the fridge. I ended up filling the kettle with milk instead of water, it made a real mess and I was mortified. My friend saw the funny side saying she fancied a latte anyway!

I always walk to the local shopping mall but this day it was raining hard so i took the car, and then walked back home! Dooh

Putting the milk in the cupboard overnight!

charl we Both fell off our chairs! Ho ho ho.

I have menieres and my balance is not good. A couple of Christmases ago we were visiting our daughter in berlin. We went into the poshest shop, KDW and after shopping went for something to eat at one of the many food places. We were in the sausage and beer one, next to the champagne and caviar place. I was getting up onto the high stool, my sil on the one beside it. I completely overbalanced and fell off, taking sil down with me, into the midst of a surprised crowd of german shoppers drinking champagne. They were all surprised because we were laughing so much. But oh, what mortification. Have never sat on a bar stool since.

I fell off my chair at a restaurant! Everyone saw.

A few months ago, my long suffering hubby( bless him) was on an overnight shift, so I decided to take the landline phone up to bed, as my mobile was playing up. The next
morning, I put the clothes ready for washing into the basket to take down stairs, placing the phone on top. Made a cuppa, loaded the washer, turned it on and went to ring hubby..no phone, then came the banging..from inside the washer. Yup I had washed the phone. When hubby came home, he looked at me and said with a long sigh.."What have you done this time?" Needless to say, even after drip drying, the phone was never the same again.

I hunted high and low for the door keys. Couldn't find them anywhere. Luckily I had a spare set, but knew I must find the original set. Cue putting out the washing a short while later. There they were, in the peg bag!

Clearing away the Christmas dinner plates and going into the fridge for the cream for dessert to find all the starters still in there doh!!

When you open the fridge door on a morning and lo & behold there it is, you finally find the baby bottle teat which you were searching all over for the night before!!! dear me! the poor dog got blamed for stealing it lol

Having taken off the waste pipe from under the kitchen sink to clear it, I put the waste water from it in a bowl. I then proceeded to run the tap to 'flush the pipe, forgetting I had disconnected it. Guess who got wet!!

I went on a trip to Prague with a friend and when we were getting ready to go to the opera one evening I got my smart shoes out and noticed I had packed 2 left shoes from different pairs. The only thing for it was to wear my heavy walking shoes with my smart trousers, not a good look!

As our family and the number of grand-children grows, when speaking of a family member, I occasionally use the wrong name. It's always accepted in good humour and I brush my faux pas aside by remarking that as long as I use their correct gender then what's to worry about.

Standing in the cold at the bus shelter I put out my hand to signal the blue & orange bus to stop. "We're only going to the tip, love" said the bin man when his blue & orange truck pulled up.
