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?!

Baby changing space was in a ladies toilet cubicle. I was talking baby through it as usual 'let's wipe the bottom - all clean!' Baby looking up at me quietly. Suddenly hear a flush in cubicle next door and someone rapidly exiting.

No one knows there is a baby with me 😳

No biggie but was called into work for this morning so got up at crazy o'clock (alarm did not go off) Got a bus yay! However, got into the bus station and apparently a moron upstairs was smoking and spitting so that was a code red and everyone off the bus. Could not believe it when another came quickly so got on. By the way it was still dark. A load of people got off and I followed but it was the wrong stop. Of course they announced the stop but I am very tired! I should have got off further along around the corner! Another bus came gong to the bus station (another bus station). No problem! I was going there anyway to pick up another bus. I hadn't thought it through., The place is a maze. It is not a simple case of just crossing the road!

All in all I was 10 minutes late this morning.

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

😂thank you for cheering me up

My gran was a Home Economics teacher and she did this the first time she demonstrated a blender to the students in the late 70s. I have recently made a friend who was in her class and she remembers this hahahaha

I went to see said friend today as she is just back from 3 weeks in New Zealand. I have had a trapped nerve in my hip for over a week, and when I saw her come into the cafe I got up to hug her, it gave way and we both fell over. Looked like a twat but so funny.

That’s just reminded me of the time I was at the beach with my friend and our dogs, we’d sat down on the steps and were throwing balls for the dogs. Two women had met up in front of us with their own dogs still on leads, they didn’t notice that their dogs had run around them while they were hugging and completely wrapped the leads around their legs. They both fell to the ground and ROLLED AWAY STILL HUGGING as the beach is on quite a slope, dragging their two dogs with them as they rolled. My dog and my friend’s dog stopped playing and were also just standing there watching the woman/dog heap roll away.

My friend and I were in tears watching them and eventually managed to get up to offer help, luckily the women were laughing just as much as we were! I was still giggling away to myself as I drove home Grin

@WetBandits ironically I sealed my friendship with this friend over me ending up on the floor - on her hahaha. It's not funny really, but I full on fainted at my gran's funeral - she seemed to realise it was about to happen (I didn't) and she sprinted across the church, losing a shoe, did a very impressive penalty save and caught me before I went crashing into the golden eagle. (it's fine I am now laughing writing it - I am just imagining her determined little face during the sprint).

Yeah, all ok thanks, a bumped knee and hurt pride but nothing serious 👍

Accidentally let the handbrake off my car with the pram chassis on the front seat, car rolled into my neighbours car parked in front of me with my DC 4 and 10 weeks in the back. I was a mess

OldTinHat · 26/01/2024 14:21

Earlier this week, I had a two and a half journey home on public transport. I thought I'd better have a wee before heading back. When I went to pull up my underwear, I noticed my panty liner had vanished. I assumed it had fallen into the loo.

Bus, train, another train, ferry, collected car, popped into a supermarket on my way back. Got home. This was rush hour btw, so loads of people, very busy.

Got home, needed another wee. Pulled up knickers and spotted something white stuck on my black trousers on the back of my calf. Yep. You guessed it...

PuttingDownRoots · 26/01/2024 14:58

I dropped a whole biscuit tin of hama beads.

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 🤦🏻‍♀️

I love this so much 😂😂😂😂😂

Gnomegarden32 · 26/01/2024 17:43

Did a supermarket shop specifically to get cash back. Paid at the till and forgot to get cash back.

APickUpFullOfPinkCarnations · 26/01/2024 17:45

Wore a light coloured top knowing full well I had spicy carrot soup (with turmeric in) for lunch. It's still soaking in Vanish.
Took the top off my hot water bottle then put it on the side without emptying it. Still, at least the counter got a clean.
Not today, but bought a coat from a charity shop with holes in the pockets. Took them to be mended. Only after that did I realise that something had fallen though the pocket and is now living forever in the lining.

Put super unleaded in my car instead of normal unleaded.

Cooked sticky chicken skewers on a pizza tray with holes in our brand new oven.

The bottom of it is now caked in burnt on sticky sauce.

Signed off a work e-mail to very senior bod with "Love you, Reckless."
Gawd. I'm cringing - I haven't corrected it and he hasn't responded.
Do you think he's missed that bit?
Blushing thinking about it. DH thinks it's hilarious and might have made his day.

I do this. I have, on more than one occasion, sent my manager an email signing off with

"Thanks
xxxx"

I've said "love you" at the end of a call 😊

I promise that I'm very professional 99.9 % of the time, but I've also said the attendees in a meeting when they returned from a break "did you have a wee?"

recklessgran · 26/01/2024 18:58

@MrsDilligaf UPDATE
He replied "Thanks reckless - love you more." xx
I replied Ooops sorry! to that so hopefully that will be the end of it and I can forget it now although I'm shocked at his response as he seems a bit pompous to me in real life! I'm not sure I'll be able to look him in the eye next time I bump in to him.

I forgot I had a biro in my jeans back pocket for most of the day, stood up from the sofa and realised it had leaked ink all over my levis and the sofa cushion. Sure enough, it had also leaked everywhere else I perched my stupid arse today including the car seat, the new duvet set on the bed, the bath mat and my coat.

Milk is your friend here! Anything that can be washed normally afterwards, soak and blot in milk
