When something wasn’t what it was meant to be….

[Anewuser]

I’ve just read a story that made me laugh, so I’m looking for more…

Someone carried their camping chair to a festival, when on arrival realised it was a washing line.

Someone else recited the story of taking their swimming bag to school to find out they’d picked up their mum’s knitting bag.

Another recalled carrying a box with the windbreak in to the beach, only to find they’d taken a Christmas tree.

Please tell me more.

I did that on a care call once. Made the lady a cup of coffee just before I was about to leave. She took a sip and spat it out. She too had the salt in an unmarked canister next to the sugar. I made her another one and made sure to put sugar in that one

A relative had varicose veins and wore support tights with everything.., even under jeans. She was walking in town and realised that yesterday's tights were trailing out of the bottom of her jeans and dragging along behind her 🤣

I have or should I say had a habit of picking up crumbs/crisps the children had dropped on the floor and eating them instead of going to the bin, less hassle and tasty morsel for me. Until the day I chewed a raisin and then remembered their friend had brought a rabbit to play with and I had seen it lopping around that room…

Came home to white powder over the kitchen work surface. Husband admitted to making a Lemsip as he had a cold but put a sachet of cat worming powder in his mug instead. Spent all night on the garden wall meowing and licking his balls...........

I wondered if you were going to say it was drugs for a second. 😮😁

I drove to work one morning and made a mental note to tell dh about the strange noise the car was making. When I turned around to pick up my bag from the back I noticed my 1 year old ds in his car seat - I had forgotten to drop him off at the childminder!

Strange noises explained!

On a shit night, this has made me smile.
I'm a teacher. Pulled what I thought was going to be a can of diet coke out of my lunch bag to find it was a can of heineken! Early morning mistake!

Descaling the kettle in the morning!
that evening, returning home with the love of my life ,( just for coffee)
so flustered made a nice coffee for him just him
which he drank
when he left I realised my mistake,30 years ago
still can’t believe he lived to marry someone else

Stop! This made me pee my pants 🤣😁😂😁🤣😂

A friend of mine once borrowed another friend's camping stove for a week's holiday. Got to the campsite, opened it up and had actually borrowed a cordless drill.

As teenagers, my friend and I had booked a camping holiday. We practiced putting up the tent in her garden beforehand and felt quite smug about how well we'd done it. We didn't use the tent pegs as her dad didn't want us to make holes in the lawn. Got to the campsite, put the tent up and realised there were no pegs. Had to weigh the tent down with stones from the nearby steam. Went home feeling significantly less smug.

I spent a morning at work fidgeting because of a very badly fitting pair of knickers. I discovered at lunchtime in the loo that the discomfort was because I was wearing them sideways! One leg in the waist.

I went to take my make up off after a night out, doused the cotton bud with nail varnish remover instead of eye make up remover - fortunately the smell hit me before I used it. And I've used hair spray instead of deodorant on more than one occasion. Need to go to specsavers!

😂😂😂 This reminded me of the time when my DD put a Babygro on her baby daughter upside down.

I got an order from paper chase, few years ago now 😂 I loved their Christmas decorations. Anyway there was a rusty old Stanley knife inside. And the blade was up, if that makes sense. I complained and got 50% refund 🙈 not the point as I could have cut myself but I accepted it all the same.

Ha my sister did this but actually microwaved it before realising. 😂

One of my patients was going to theatre so I nipped into the linen room to get him a theatre gown. The lightbulb in the linen room had blown so I couldn’t see what I was doing so I grabbed what I thought was a gown. I was mortified to see that I’d handed the poor sod a shroud.

That made me laugh out loud 😆

Years ago we went camping and grabbed what I thought was the bag with tent poles in - got there to find a croquet set. We were only camping nearby so could go home to get them.

Took DD and her pony to a 1 day event competition quite a long way from home - went to tack up only to find that instead of bringing the bag that had her bridle in, we’d bought a bag of turn out boots. DD managed to borrow a bridle from another rider.

We've also been to a competition and found her boot bag had her wellies in rather than riding boots and on another occasion completely forgot to take her saddle.

Reminded of a time I was lounging at home in a tatty cami short dress. Had to go into town so as I changed, slid the straps down then put on my dress.
Standing on the middle bit of the tube I start to feel something around my legs....
I'd forgotten to take the camisole dress off and it had been slowly making its way down.
Spent the rest of the journey hoisting it up and trying to look casual.

My friends and I went to an outdoor concert in Chester with the threat of rain clouds above, we all whipped out our pak-a-macs and she took out a tote bag! It was hilarious to us all and we still laugh at the photo. 😂😂

near enough, I was at work, in a company where you can't use your phone, blah blah, but I have special needs kids so could keep mine in the locker with notifications on Apple Watch.
got loads of calls and messages from hubby, the precious cat was missing, drama, drama, then people were come back from break, and I overheard a few talking about the most beautiful cat sitting on a car. yep, he's snuck up under the bonnet before I left and stayed there (thankfully and safely for 35 miles) and then stayed sitting on the car til I went out to him.

Similar to this one, my friend once opened her school lunch box which was a Tupperware box to find it was just 4 hard boiled eggs that her mum had put in there. She resignedly ate them all anyway.

His name isn’t Albert Trotter is it? 😂 maxwell house and OXO jars apparently used to be very similar
