What stupid thing did you do today ?

I sold an item far too cheaply on marketplace. Totally misjudged it and could have done with the extra £50
Plus I squirted hot coffee onto my chest plunging my cafetière.
Oh and dropped a gift I just bought in a puddle (clothing) (without a bag even though I asked for one but sales assistant forgot and I just huffed off without my bag )
What have you done?!

I stood up to get off the train and, in front of the entire carriage, put my coat on upside down.

I walked into a vending machine, slipped when serving coffee in the cafe I work at and got into the wrong car. 🤣🤣🤣🤣, the weird and wonderful lives we lead!!🤭🤭🤭

Put a dirty nappy (wee only) in the washing machine. Full load. It burst over everything.

Ate curry with onion bhajis when spicy foods and onions/garlic are triggers for my IBS. Real regrets now 🤦🏻‍♀️

Headed butted a window of a jewellery shop I was nosing in as I lost depth perception as there was glass boxes on the inside and just for a second thought that's all that was there and not indeed a window 🤦🏻‍♀️

Fixed a door handle.

Am self employed and rather than do the mountain of work I should have ploughed through to actually earn some money today I decided to sort of all my eldest Lego into its sets for the entire day. Stupid yes, oddly satisfying also yes.

DS did that the other day but he has dyspraxia...

Not REALLY stupid but annoying. I set up a reimbursement that takes ages to do for colleagues travel expenses but didn't realise the procedure has changed so I will need to start again on Monday.

Put a chocolate covered rice cake in my coat pocket at break time.

Forgot about it.

Put phone in pocket at home time.

Drove the entire 45 minute commute home with the car seat warmer and heating on full blast.

Took phone out of pocket to apple pay for groceries and looked like I'd put my hand in poo.

Exclaimed "oh shit" whilst looking at aforementioned hand in horror at the checkout.

GingerLiberalFeminist · 25/01/2024 21:30

My glasses steamwd up when I walked in the pub, so I took them off, saw and walked up to my colleague to say hi and shook his hand. It wasn't my colleague. Never met him before 😅

onwardandupwards · 25/01/2024 21:30

Gave a thumbs up and said great job to the lovely woman who's till I went through in tesco after a very long shop with a suspected asd 3 year old who I was giving thumbs up too all round the shop as he did a great job. 😳

WetBandits · 25/01/2024 21:32

Went to the shop to buy garlic.

Got home with peppers, pasta and biscuits. No garlic.

Took a corner too tightly due to the way a van was parked and scraped the side of my car on a gate post. Gonna be an expensive fix :(

Agecanonix · 25/01/2024 21:33

I have done -almost- all of the above on a fairly regular basis so am so glad to hear I'm not alone .

Sympathy to fellow klutz's.

I love you.

Polkadothandkerchief · 25/01/2024 21:36

And I'm. Breathing again. Thank you and I hope you all feel better too that you aren't alone. I bet the e lady who was so nice on messenger about my item is laughing all the way to her new relisting...
Oh. And I could've done a thread about the other messages- "I'll have it. Please deliver". Errrr no. I've seen FB marketplace threads before so thought this was a different slant, especially after puddle gate. I've just used my face cloth instead of cleaning cloth to wipe the wash basin too. I should maybe go to bed

Took a 2 litre bottle of fizzy juice out of the fridge, and dropped it while opening it. It fizzed violently all over my kitchen, freaking my cats out, and drenching everything. And most of the bottle is now all over my kitchen and I don’t have another bottle. Twat.

I try to get into cars that aren't mine. Ok so this isn't today but it's stupid. I was at the recycling centre and there was a long queue of cars, so I hopped out my car, which DH was driving. Was trying to be efficient. Dumped some things at one part, quickly went to hop back in, except it wasn't opening and when I looked up an entire family were in it, looking VERY displeased. I must have been clawing at the door handle for ages before I looked up.
I had to do an over the top on no wrong car gesture and ran into my car, which was behind. I remember hiding my face in shame. It was the same colour car but obviously not my car, looked nothing like my car.

Cheers!

3 hours & 2 wines later, the shame still burns...

GP's receptionist called me just before closing to say GP would like me to make an appointment.

Had a nice chat, thanked her for calling me last thing and told her she could "Cock Off" now.

Daughter in stitches, me too and I think she was toi judging by being put on hold before she squeaked "Thank you" 🤣
