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 asked a colleague when she’s going on maternity leave.

Turns out she isn’t pregnant.

I wanted to die. I’m usually sooooo careful about that sort of thing but another colleague said she was definitely pregnant and I believed him. Still feel DREADFUL.

Just eaten way too many M&S cheese tasters.

Yesterday I took a glass of fresh orange juice upstairs to my bedroom to relax. Mobile in one had and juice in the other and put my phone on the bedside table and threw my juice onto my clean bedding. I meant to do the opposite

Collapsed the clothes dryer down and managed to get both hands trapped in the little arm things which collapse it - it was bloody painful.

Went to work in odd shoes one day last week. It was the day of my appraisal in fact.

Tried to ask a question in a Zoom meeting and then got all flustered because I thought I must be on mute but I couldn't find the button.

Then I remembered that I missed the actual meeting, which was on Wednesday, (because I'd accidentally put it on my calendar for yesterday, also stupid) and I was actually watching a recording of said meeting instead.

At least there was no one actually there to witness it!

whilst simultaneously walking and biting off a hangnail I somehow managed to punch myself in the mouth and make my lip bleed.

Put my pink salt grinder and pepper grinder set in the fridge.

I gazed out of the window and pissed about on the Internet for hours and I'm now going to have to do some work this weekend.

Burnt a hole in the new fluffy jumper I'd only just received in the post 10mins earlier 😥

Apparently I ordered 6 bags of 6 bananas instead of 6 individual bananas! Not quite sure what to do with 36 bananas!

Yes and banana chocolate chip muffins, and banana milkshakes!

Tried to follow the sat nav and spent 30 minute circling Huddersfield and not going where I should have been.
I am sat nav illiterate.

I wore heels all day 😩

I was going out to a very fancy restaurant tonight and made a stupid snap decision not to wear trainers to work/for commuting and change into my high heeled pointy boots just for dinner. So, for the first time in several years, I wore pointy heels all day and my feet are FUCKING KILLING ME. I honestly feel like my toes are going to fall off. I took the shoes off an hour ago and my feet are still throbbing.

Never again.

Eyesopenwideawake · 26/01/2024 22:25

Pull on my new skinny jeans and think "hmmm, they're difficult to get over my heels"

Some hours later DP is sweating and quietly (not!) swearing as he drags them off.

Scissors will be deployed to the seams in the morning...

slavetothekittens · 26/01/2024 23:37

Trapped my wrist in the doorway and instead of pulling it open to get myself, I pushed the door to!

I didn't know that was possible 😳 😆

I had a baby breaking 4 molars, clinging and howling all day bless her.

I spent ages making a brown stock. I roasted chicken carcasses etc, cut the whole fucking mirepoix exactly right (loads, I was doing a big batch to freeze n wee batches).

Then had some kind of total mind meltdown and poured it all down the sink, leaving myself with a sieve full of shite.

About 4 hours of effort. Literally down the drain.

My lovely neighbour did the same with a huge pan of Christmas punch. Poured it through a sieve just before all her guests arrived…but forgot to put anything under the seive….
