OH was moaning yesterday about the water bill. I don’t dare tell him I left the tap running for hours.

Fortunately the overflow worked.

That's nothing vampire I once drained some pasta whilst walking across the kitchen towards the sink.

Put some eggs on to boil and forgot about them Two hours later - the pan boiled dry, the eggs had burst and splattered all over the kitchen, cooker top a disaster and the pan was a write off.

I've had socks in one hand, and used tissues in t'other, and put the socks in the toilet.

I've also shut my head in the car door.

And when shaving my legs, when the razor got too hairy, 'removed' the hair with my fingertip shock

I must have hundreds of these.
I am a very stupid person

I cracked my egg ( to scramble) into my glass of orange juice instead of the little cup where I was to beat it.
I did not drink it!

Yesterday I drained the vegs then threw them straight in the bin rather than putting them on plates.

Does anyone else find themselves doing silly things? I found myself drying my hands to put them back in a sink full of water to pull the plug.
