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.

Long, long ago, after a night out, I went down to the kitchen to get a drink. Without putting on the light, I grabbed a mug, filled it with water and gulpped it down, only for my father's false teeth to hit my real ones.

Are they not? I thought they were.

Dd is now 17,but I'm going back to when I was pregnant with her
I was the size of a double decker bus-i was normally a size 12/14 but I was touching a size 26/28 while pregnant
I was about a week from my due date at the time and was doing to school run
My,erm,female area (my the kids called it-god knows why) had pins and needles (not good) and my arse felt a bit 'odd'
I dropped them off and headed to my parents house,which was halfway between school and my house and waddled to their bathroom
I checked my knickers-size 10
Not as in size 10 ladies-size 10 In age!
Somehow,in the made dash to get ready,I'd put her sisters pants on and somehow fitted into them-it was the moving/walking that hurt
Eldest dd was (still is) tall and very slim so God knows how I managed to fit one leg in them-i had to walk home,heavily pregnant and knickerless to put my own on
The poor pants had to be binned as they had been stretched so much,they where flaccid

Wasn't replying to you or implying you wouldn't.
What I'm saying is there are still a lot of women who don't report, not because they have nowhere to turn but a variation of shame/hassle/inconvenience/not being believed etc.

When I made a report, I could see why some women/men dropped cases as it can be a long winded process.

I've only reported one case as it was the most serious but should really have reported two separate ones, but again, I was younger then and not as confident.

I got a cocroach with an ebay purchase. Thank goodness I googled it and panickly binned as it was a woven basket so couldn't be sure there weren't anymore hidden away.
Should have sent it back for a refund but first thought was my then flat having an infestation.

That's not actually funny. Babies who have been forgotten about have died being left alone in cars. Thank goodness your bag was in the back.

What job makes you wear high heels? Isn't that sexist?

@ilovepixie

I repeat...

He most certainly would not have been left in there all day to die

It was October in the UK

My desk looked at the (very small) car park

He was very vocal

Students had already gathered around to see him "oh you've brought the little one with you today, can I have a cuddle?"

The childminder had already called to ask if I was on my way.

🙄

Airline staff. I'm lucky I no longer have to wear lipstick!

This reminds me of a bloke I used to work with who saw these on offer, thought they had the meat (illustrated on the top) in them and bought loads and put them in his freezer.

To be fair, this is the same bloke that wore yellow marigolds on his motorbike when the electrics failed as he felt they would be equally as good with regard to other motorists seeing him. : )

I totally agree with you. In this day and age a) it shouldn’t happen and b) there should be a straightforward procedure for complaint. Sadly we’re not there yet.

My boss offered everyone in the office some organic treats as a gift, which he left on our desks, a few of which were inside small, pretty boxes. As I was on my way downstairs to a meeting, I took out one of the treats that looked like an oval chocolate, and popped it into my mouth.
I was slightly late for the meeting, as I had to rinse the starter seed sample and soil out of my teeth. 😵

Why?

I remember reading a post on here years ago from a couple who thought their relative had bought them an iron for a wedding present. They put it in the cupboard and wrote a thank you letter for the iron. A few years later when their iron broke they remembered the one in the cupboard, only to open the box and discovered a hand-made vase. The relative had used an iron box to pack it in. I always wondered whether they confessed to the relative that they had only just opened their wedding present several years later.

I remember reading a funny story years ago about someone trying to use one of those elasticated plastic covers that goes on the bottom of pet budgie cages,as a shower hat. They couldn't understand why it was big. 😂

The one about the garage door made me snort with laughter!

🤮🤮🤮

Many years ago when I was a Saturday girl in a well known high street shop, I watched agog as a lady tried on an elasticated toilet seat cover thinking it was a hat. Thankfully she decided against buying it, saving me from a awkward conversation at the till.

No, they have to do no such thing. Legally, leaving donations in the charity shop doorway is considered to be fly-tipping.

After making a stew my mum would usually places left overs in the fridge in Tupperware. It was a hot day and she decided that the dog food would be better in the fridge in Tupperware to prevent flies eating it.My older brother was back from Uni and was "starving' took it out of the fridge placed it in the microwave and actually ate it all.Me and mum couldn't bring ourselves to say anything. He really enjoyed it!!!

Then you are awful family members. Revolting allowing him to eat it.

They might have only found out he'd eaten it afterwards

reallifeboogie so you really think we sat there watching him eat it.What a horrible assumption.* *

Well one christmas my older brother helped himself to a biscuit from the opened pack on the mantlepiece..it was one of the dogs stocking gifts and yes we watched him eat it! (Well he soon realised and spat it out)

Yes I've done that too
