What stupid thing do you keep doing?

[SpongeBobJudgeyPants]

I'll start. Despite putting moisturiser on my face every morning for the last 40 odd years, I constantly squeeze out too much, resulting in a face that makes my mascara run, or greasy hands from rubbing it into them to use the excess. What's yours?

I'm guilty of creating specific threads about my personal problems with other people (this isn't exclusive to MN), getting outed (bloody small world why does everyone I know frequent the same sites as me), and deleting the account in a fit of panic so I can have a fresh start. Rinse and repeat.

I've decided though that starting from today I'm just going to own all my posts online. No more deletions - if I can type it, I damn well shouldn't be afraid of someone reading it!

Scratching my car on my gate 🙈😭😂. Gates are getting removed asap haha

Smoking..
I'm a dental nurse, I've seen mouth cancer, it's not pretty. My DP Mum died of cancer a few years ago.
I consistently have sorr throat and massive panic about every niggle and twinge I get in my mouth and throat.
All the women in my family that have smoked have had strokes quite young.

Yet I still go back..

I'm poorly at the moment and haven't smoked in 5 days. This could be it. I really really want to try hard this time.

Burning rice.
Biting through my lip.

Spilling food down myself. Usually when I am mega dressed up and out for a meal 🙀. I swear I need a bib like a toddler.

Place marking

I have a lot

Treading in the dog water bowl.

Texting someone I shouldn't

@GrubbyHipsterBeard... thinking you had left straighteners on and having to go back home to check...
i always used to do this too. Once I was about 20 mins away from home on a 45 min commute to work and I thought I just have to go back and check and of course I'd switched them off! Now I've given up and the straighteners stay in the drawer and i rock the wavy scraggly look

@booseysmom it’s the only way

Leaving tissues in pockets of laundry.

"Opening my gob!"
Glad I'm not the only one with this

Taking something out the oven, deciding it's not cooked yet and putting it back in the oven - except I forget it's BEEN IN THE OVEN and ITS FUCKING HOT so I need to use the oven mitt again

"Trying to get an early night and then its 1am and I'm googling "how tall was jesus?"" Damn you now I need to know! Turns out not much taller than me probably and I'm a short arse at 5'2"

Last night it was "when was the chick and the ducks last on friends?" A surprisingly controversial subject, almost as hotly debated as "were Ross and Rachel on a break"

"Changing my online passwords and forgetting to either choose something memorable or write a hint/reminder down somewhere, so that I have to reset my password every. single. time" top tip for this:

Change it to the FIRST one you THOUGHT it was - that's where your mind went.

Problem is when they make you have one that contains a capital letter, lower case letter, a number, a symbol and a philosophical phrase covered in fucking unicorn shit 😡

See I didn't look it up because I wanted to maintain my image ofJesus as tall. (For some reason... I'm an atheist so why do I even care)

Oh blimey, there aresomany of these that I do as well. I'm really bad at being an adult!

Always cooking too much pasta/rice.

Forgetting dummy and bib/muslin when out with the baby.

Frogging.

I will often frog something several times before I'm happy with it.

Scraping my leg very hard and painfully on the corner of the dishwasher door when it's open. Ffs! I can't seem to judge the distance!

Picking at hangnails/ scratching the skin next to my nails until I'm bleeding.

Putting off going to the doctors, though I probably need several tests and medication.

Biting my tongue and seething in silence when my OH pisses me off.

I do the same thing googling random facts and, for some reason, peoples ages.

I also pick my ear like a previous poster.

Scratch my legs til they bleed and pick at some sore skin.

Drink too much wine and eat too many nuts.

Spend way too much time on my phone.

The one that made me laugh out loud was the poster desperately searching for their phone whilst chatting on it. I do this all the time!

Also, put off going to the doctors and dentist and also that edge of the dishwasher leg injury thing!

Arriving in a room to get something and thinking ‘now why did I come in here?’

@CoperCabana ((hugs))) that sounds a lot like me, its not my ear I pick its my scalp, which remains in sores.

Going to the supermarket and coming back with all manner of tasty treats, lots of wine & beer but no actual meals.

Getting drunk. Then being hungover and saying never again.
Then getting drunk again.

Touching things to check if they are too hot to touch.
I'm surprised I've any fingerprints left.
