Lighthearted...what daft thing have you done lately?

Loving these, making me feel not quite so inadequate 😂

Love the walking to the MOT one. I've noticed that in my old age (mid 40s) I've REALLY had to start properly thinking about things like this...and trying not to be clever and invariably fucking up, like arranging to 'kill two birds with one stone as I've got to drop the car off the garage anyway' and then remembering the lack of car, duh 😅

Dropped a bottle of mouthwash in the downstairs bathroom, it hit the floor and went everywhere! Wiped it up, minty smelling bathroom, all good.
Following day, did exactly the same in the upstairs bathroom, 2 minty smelling bathrooms, huzzah!

Put the dinner to be cooked in the oven still in all the packaging, cardboard, plastic film and all. Straight from the fridge into the oven. Cooked for half an hour before DH came home as asked if it was meant to be like that.

I tried to log onto my work computer and was wondering my the touchscreen wasn’t working. I tried at least 5 times and nope…but using the mouse and keyboard did the job perfectly!

in my defence I ling into 2 systems abd one is touch screen but the two are very different and I’ve never done it before in my 22years of employment 🤦🏻‍♀️

Was in Spar the other day, got to the till and went in my bag to get my purse, panicked as I couldn't find it.
Said to the lady, sorry but I can't find my purse. She looked at me, pointed and said is that it under your arm?
I'd taken it out to get a carrier bag out and slotted it under my armpit !

Thanks for this thread it’s really making me smile reading the responses after what has been a miserable week!

Oh poo! Did you manage to reschedule?

Got the start time wrong for an interview for a position I really wanted

I picked up a framed photo in my Mum’s house, put my fingers on the frame and moved them apart to try to zoom in on it.

Realised when got to check out, I didn't have my debit card. I found some cash in my purse, but then automatically went to put the cash on the card machine! 🤣

Asked a member of staff in the supermarket for help because my Lidl card wouldn’t scan. He told me we’re in Aldi. 🙈

Oh these are brilliant - thanks for the thread @LushLemonTart, it's been a difficult week so needed a bit of a laugh.

I don't think I have one of my own to add - although I am going to attempt to cut my own hair tomorrow, so watch this space! Can't be worse than when I bleached my own hair while watching rugby on the telly and it was such a good game I got too engrossed to hear the timer go off and by the time I got into the shower to wash it all off, my fringe came away in my hand! I had to get a grade three because there was just no salvaging it! This was only three years ago, I am 47 next month...

My son has a piano lesson once a week, and the location is changing next month. Despite knowing the exact date the new building opens, I still ended up taking him to the new location 4 weeks early 🤦🏼‍♀️.

He had to miss the lesson, as we couldn’t get to the original location in time. Blaming brain fog for that one. Doh!

Picked up my phone to text DH to tell him hed left his phone behind 😳

I have essential tremor so I sometimes drop/chuck things, this ALWAYS happens in public of course, so embarrassing myself is a daily occurrence. Thankfully I've learnt to laugh at myself. There was that one time I chucked soup on a customer, which clearly was far from funny, that was the day I made a Dr appointment!

I whatsapped the psychologist doing my dd's autism assessment, rather than my dd, to remind her about the breathing exercise and sensory toy she can use if she feels anxious during the assessment.

This is brilliant haha

He's just handed me a cuppa in a travel mug, probably for the best 😅

Thank you op this thread has made me chuckle. I've been really ill this week with flu I was lying on the sofa and asked dh for a glass of water he handed it to me I had a few sips and tried to put it behind me on the shelf but ended up tipping it over my head 🤣. I hope others will share more of there silliness as its cheering me up!

Went into Boots, picked up a basket but then decided not to buy anything. Left store and walked a good five minutes down the road before realising I was still carrying the boots shopping basket.

Lost my parmesan. I usually keep it in a Tupperware container, in the fridge.
Hadn't needed it for about a week. Noticed this morning that it wasn't there. Considered whether or not I had a poltergeist, a cheese-loving intruder etc. Eventually found it in the freezer 🙃

Needed to take my car for its MOT. Set off walking to the garage (not far for my house) got half way down the road and thought “Shit, I need to be in the car for this!”

I reversed my car down a slight hill in the snow, then realised I couldn't drive it back up. I didn't even need to go down it either, I could have just reversed across the top. I thought it would be easier to turn around. I had to leave the damn thing there and get me husband to pick me up. I felt like such a prat.

HA HA HA! Easy done!

Recently, I grabbed a pack of Spar Breaded Chicken Nuggets .... or chonky nibbles as I call them! ... from the fridge, plonked them on a plate, got the microwave going for 3 minutes, into the cupboard for mayo and vinegar, went into the livingroom, the microwave pinged and there was the plate .... next to the microwave!
