I am a twat, I am a twat

Have gone out leaving front door wide open three times. Included one time when next door neighbours popped over to see if we were in, & front room was SO chaotic they thought we'd been burgled

Locked myself out of my own house and in advanced state of panic - late for a meeting) went & knocked on next door neighbour's door, demanding they help me climb over back fence and break in. They pushed front door and it opened

Regularly leave keys in front door.

Have straightener shaped burn-marks on the bedroom carpet.

Have burnt out an iron by leaving it on for long periods so often.

Occasionally leave my head in Tescos...

Brilliant thread.

And especial praise for monkeygirl69

But no. I am not a twat. Oh. Apart from the usual oven on all day incidents.

That, and my 'a bird has been in the house' fiasco caused by my leaving two large upstairs windows open WHILE I WENT ON HOLIDAY...

We have had quite a few water cut-offs. the last one happened while we were getting ready for school, water was there while I got breakfast but had gone off when we went to get a showered. DS kept fiddling with the taps, saying there were broken and I kept turning them off, he would fiddle again. Upshot was I turned them to what I thought was off. DS went to school I went to work (at neighbours so knew water was still off

The water came back on while I was picking DS up. and we came home to a flooded bathroom and kitchen

This thread is the reason I don't have a gas cooker.

I left a pan of milk on the hob for about 5 hours.
When I was a student I left my bedroom window open and went home for Christmas. Nothing was stolen (a miracle in South Manchester) but it was so sodding cold I could see my breath and it took a few days to heat up properly.

Ive done a full supermarket shop at least half a dozen times only to find I hve left my purse at home when I get to the till

Has anyone left a cake out in the rain?

No but I left the camera on DS slide after taking piccies and left it out there for few days. Didnt realise until I wanted it for sports day

Of course this was July when it pee'd it down

I left the gas hob on for 24 hours recently.... I also recently put a cheque in the recycling.

When DD was tiny, I put her birth certificate in a big pile of papers. In my sleep deprived state, I binned the papers, forgetting about birth certificate.
I also walked into the men's changing rooms in New Look today, and had to be shepherded out by a kindly sales man.
I am not fit to have a child most days.

I have left the car key in the passenger door of my car ALL NIGHT. Didn't even realise it was there next morning - actually found spare key (thinking main key was temporarily mislaid in house) and drove off. Halfway down dual carriageway I thought "what's that knocking?" It then dawned on me it was my VW key ring, banging repeatedly against the paintwork. .

Now I have a key with a little electronic button to open the doors.

I once got myself locked IN the house

Dh couldn't find his car keys, I said don't worry take mine, i'll find yours before I go to work.

I had put his car keys in the glove compartment of his car the day before, which he then drove off with after locking the front door behind him.

After I'd realised, I had to ring work and tell them why I coudln't come in that morning.

T-W-A-T

Jeez, I wouldn't like to live in a block of flats with you lot!

Left the oven on after taking the pizza out at about 7pm, went out, got back at about 2am to a very warm house. Then managed to turn the oven off but lean on one of the other gas ring knobs and leave the gas seeping out all night Luckily none of us smoked cause if someone had lit up a post-big-nite-out fag I think the whole place would've gone up!

Has anyone left a cake out in the rain?

I frequently used to leave the iron on. I now have one that turns itself off

Half way to Bristol on Saturday had to pull over and txt DS1 to see if I had left straighteners on. I used to call him up about the iron as well

I am the queeen of twat
have gone out all day and left the oven on
have thrown a diamond pendant in the bin
have gone out leaving front door and garage door wide open

• hope my insuresr arent reading this

I was 2 hours into an A&E trip with DS when I suddenly thought "The iron's on"! Cue me franticly calling neighbour, who was at work but asked her disabled husband to haul himself up my stairs into my knicker-strewn bedroom where he found...
The straighteners were off.

Bloody GHDs have the worst design! They just roll over.

Came home late from a night out and didn't bother to close the door. woke up the next day and it was wide open. Was living in Hackney.

I have put the kettle (Electric!) onto the gas hob and turned it on! .

I have NEVER owned a kettle that goes on the gas hob. blush]

I left the car boot open all night once, with car parked in the street.

Someone I used to know went on holiday for a week and left his iron on. He said it was very very hot in his flat when he got home .

Left iron on, burnt cookery book, burnt tea towel, burnt chopping board, fell over infront of a long queue of people and cried. I too am a grade A twat.
