Thought I'd lost my house keys while out. Only to then somehow manage to lock myself out of the car. Which had my phone and everything else in it. Fortunately saved by being able to make calls from my Apple Watch. The house keys turned out to be in the car boot all along!

@jesusmaryjosephandtheweedonkey

Climes that's the roof of York minster and nearly threw up because I was so unfit
I've done that. I was at the front of the line and couldn't stop for a breather. Omg my heart felt like it was going explode!

Let DH buy a car for me. It was one of the worst rust heaps that I've ever driven. Nightmare of a car. I choose my own now.

Vigorously shake a tippex bottle hard enough for it to fly out of my hand and smash on the floor. It went everywhere, I had droplets hanging off my eyelashes

Driving up the down spiral by mistake to get into a multi storey car park. Was v embarrassing but I’ll never do it again, of that I’m sure.

@Cocomelonearworm

Surfing. A frustrating and exhausting experience where I never managed to get up on the board even once in the whole day. All this while DH merrily took to it like a natural and would breeze past me at regular intervals shouting "wooo!"
Had exactly the same experience on our honeymoon! I so wanted to like it but it was bloody awful, felt like I was going to drown. After a while I went and laid on the beach instead and got sunburnt.

Home bikini waxing. I almost waxed myself shut!
Oh the horror! I waxed my upper thigh to my fanjo, whole thing was a total disaster and DH nearly ended himself laughing - sod !

My favourite near miss was a work event up the London Eye. Bomb scare. Sad face.

Sticking my finger in some hot caramel I was making to see how it tasted.

FrankGrillosFloof · 09/02/2022 21:19

Magic mushrooms. Incredible experience never to be repeated.

Using an Epilator. Slow torture and poor results. And the pain Shock

No one else has mentioned it @HelloFrostyMorning. Perhaps you’re the only survivor of this experience?!

Get my eye brows threaded.

Good God I've never felt pain like it. It was like thousands of paper cuts all over my eye lids.

AnneKipankitoo · 09/02/2022 21:39

I will not say what it looked like.
