I ask this because I was reminded of my embarrassment only the other day ( thanks for that!)

The story goes ( This is about 20+ years ago ) I bought a small TV for 1 of my children's bedroom. I bought it, carried it through the shopping centre ( there wasn't all this hone delivery that there is now ) got it home, faffed about with it, faffed some more, it wouldn't work, tried again, nope!

I boxed it back up, drove like a mad woman back to the shopping centre, very cross, walked in the shop, plonked the box on the counter and said IT DOESNT WORK !!!!

The man plugged it in, pressed a botton and DA DAA it burst to life, he then looked at me and asked "Have you read the instructions?"

I umm'd and arr'd then as my face turned crimson, i admitted i hadnt ( hahaha ooooops )

Who looked a fool !

Did it this week on GN. I wrote that an OP had misunderstood something, only to reread it after I had posted it and realised that in my turn I had misunderstood what she said. I quickly contacted HQ and had the post withdrawn.

I put my car into the garage to sort out a rattle. They returned it suggesting I find somewhere else to put the jar of boiled sweets under the passenger seat

These are all fabulous thanks so much for sharing - but I’ve cried laughing at this one ☝️ ?

These are so funny so thanks all. I'm sure I have done the same but gone out of my head right now.
