My sister and I out for a long walk today and she lost her keys so we had to retrace our steps through the forest and by the sea and no luck, got back to her car and she burst out laughing, there they were still in the door of her car. Thankfully car not stolen and bags in boot also.

I left my car running in a multi-storey carpark once and went shopping. Came back and it was still running. I was in a newborn fog.

I also frequently put the butter on top of the fridge rather than back inside it.

About 5 minutes ago I was talking about RagNBone Man but called him Badly Drawn Boy 🙄

Last week I paid for a parking ticket, 2 hours later I remembered I should also have retrieved it and displayed it in my car. Got away with thankfully.

In a meeting today I tried to make three points, forgot the third one as I was making the second one, so just repeated the first point again! 😩

I went to run a bath and forgot to put the plug in....Confused went back to no bath and taps still running oops

Funny one, my friend got in the bath with her socks on... she said she was staring at her feet for a few mins thinking "something isn't right" to only just realise, he socks where still on.... just to let you know I'm only 22 and she's 23 GrinGrin

I have an excuse I'm a mother to a 3 year old but not sure about hers lol

Got my house keys out of my pocket instead of my Oyster card when going through the London underground barriers.

Went to collect my son from nursery in pyjama bottoms a few months ago.

I was very tiered from no sleep with my son. I was rocking him to sleep when I evwrytging went black I thought there was a power cut. Then realised I had my eyes closed it took me way to long to realise 😅

Standing at the front door frantically pressing the car key fob wondering why I can't get in the door.

Getting frustrated and annoyed looking everywhere for the newspaper this afternoon. We only get one on a Saturday.

Saying 'good boy' when hanging a bridle up in the tack room.

I worry about myself sometimes😂

My DD has been going to the same ballet class for a year - this week I couldn't remember what time she finished! Barged into the class 5 minutes early thinking I was late!

Also I can't think of random words. Today I forgot the word for school tour!

TeddyTrucks · 20/05/2022 16:47

Put takeaway coffee on car roof while I put car seat in. Forgot. Drove off and basically skinny latte all down the doors.

Went shopping with toddler, parked in multi-storey, came back to find car not only unlocked but rear door wasn't even shut properly.

Making burgers for dinner. Burgers were cooking nicely on the Ninja grill, so I prepared the burger buns and salad.

The Ninja beeped at me to let me know the burgers were cooked. Everything ready, I stood there looking round the kitchen for far longer than I wish to admit, utterly baffled as to where I'd put the burgers. I found them (unsurprisingly) still on the grill, where they'd been since I put them in there.

I blame baby brain (I'm pregnant), but it was probably just ineptitude!

Pointed my car key fob at my front door and continually pressed it furiously, wondering why the door wasn't clicking open
