Could have been worse...I once did the same, only with a can of hairspray...

Florries · 25/09/2018 17:48

I put burns gel on a mouth ulcer instead of bonjella.

I've put the milk in the cupboard and the cereal in the fridge.

I once put the butter in the cupboard (no idea how long it had been in there for) until I opened the cupboard again. Que confused face and wondering who the fuck put the butter in the cupboard, until I realised it must have been me as I was the only person in the house.

LongSummerDays · 25/09/2018 17:57

Tried to put the kettle in the fridge. Poured Coco Pops in the cat's bowl. Cat wasConfused
Got in the shower fully dressed.

Not all on the same day, I hasten to add.

Cue, not Que Another example of my tiredness. In the words of Manual 'Que?' 😂

I'll get my coat..

Changeymcchangechange · 25/09/2018 18:02

Used friz ease to wash my face

IJustLostTheGame · 25/09/2018 18:10

Sprayed my husband's shaving foam under my arms instead of deodorant....

Didn't lock the cupboards shut. Spotted toddler grabbing half full bag of rice. Was too tired to deal with the rage that would come with taking it away so just stood there watching him merrily empty it all over the floor.

In fairness he played with it for ages instead of telling and storming around (it is so hard being 18 months old Hmm ) so it was very nearly worth it.

Cellardoor23 · 25/09/2018 18:38

That reminds me of last week when my toddler decided to take the porridge out of cupboard and sprinkle it all over the flat. I was too tired to even care about it at the time.

An ex boyfriend once brushed his teeth without turning on the light and used my veet cream instead of toothpaste

CaptainCorrigan · 25/09/2018 18:42

Hair spray instead of deodorant. I don't even know where it came from I don't even use hair spray.

I also fell sound asleep on the toilet when my baby was 3 weeks old.

Johndoe10 · 25/09/2018 18:45

Tipped my husbands migraine tablets and ibruphen in to my mouth and swallowed them down with the glass of water I’d gotten him whilst he was bad in bed.

Gah I was shattered that day.

I just turned up at the wrong swimming class after also forgetting my daughter had after school club

BillywigSting · 25/09/2018 18:49

The usual milk and butter in the cupboard, cereal in the fridge. Also put washing powder in the fridge.

Used pearl drops toothpaste instead of bright eye eye drops. That was a painful mistake.

Fell asleep on the couch holding a bowl of soup. Dp found me a few hours later (he'd been out with ds) and I hadn't moved a muscle or spilled a drop. I still had hold of the spoon.

Put a dinner in a foil tray in the microwave. That was the quite spectacular end of the microwave.

Put the unopened tins of beans in the fridge.

Got in the shower in my underwear

Poured my full pot of coffee down the sink instead of into a cup. I cried over that one.

MollysMummy2010 · 25/09/2018 19:00

Purse in fridge, no idea why. Also opening house with car key and perplexed for ages that it wouldn’t work. Top inside out til lunch time at work. Sent daughter to school with no breakfast which I felt so crap about when I eventually remembered. Wrong day of week in head so in wrong place at wrong time...I am hoping as she is now nearly nine I will improve...

AsAProfessionalFekko · 25/09/2018 19:05

I've showered a few times wearing my glasses. I get it eventually.

Zipadeedoodah2 · 25/09/2018 19:07

Put a teaspoon of sugar in the teapot Confused

DianaPrincessOfThemyscira · 25/09/2018 19:08

Stepped out the house to go to work in my slippers. Got halfway to the car before I realised my feet felt odd!

DianaPrincessOfThemyscira · 25/09/2018 19:09

Best one was waking up in tears because I’d forgotten my babies.

This was the day after my twins were born, they were next to me in their cot in the hospital.

Then I cried because I’d forgotten they weren’t still inside me Grin

greenjojocat · 25/09/2018 19:13

Haha! These are brilliant!

I also accidentally turned the shower on while I was cleaning it and got a surprise cold soaking 🙈

Yesterday I opened the door and went to get in my car. At this point I hear a rather upset sounding "excuse me!" from across the car park. Yes I was getting into the wrong car as it looked the same as mine and was parked next to mine. It was also conveniently open as the lady bought her ticket. We did have a laugh about it, but then I realised I probably do need more sleep. Even the fact that the upholstery was different in the car didn't actually make me notice. Whoops!

Pandamodium · 25/09/2018 19:21

Not so lighthearted but funny and a good warning for others.

DS wasn't sleeping and had medical issues. At the time I got run down ended up with pneumonia I was put on steroids, six little tablets three times a day. Roughly the same size as my amitripiline 50mg dosage tablets taken as an antidepressant/sleep aid.

Guess who fell both asleep and off the toilet?

No lasting damage, feel free to laugh DH did the bastard

Cellardoor23 · 25/09/2018 19:38

I don't know how I much I can blame this on tiredness or sheer stupidity, but I once opened the door, couldn't remember opening the door and thought the door had been open the whole time I had been out. Completely freaked out ringing my partner thinking someone had been in the house, until it dawned on me after about half an hour caustioisy looking in every room that I had actually opened the door Blush

Squeakyheart · 25/09/2018 19:39

Pregnancy insomnia! Took the peg bag on the school run instead of my hand bag! Noticed before got to school thank god and hid it but was close!

JennyOnAPlate · 25/09/2018 19:44

Put nail varnish remover on my face instead of make up remover
