I've just walked into my glass conservatory door. It's been up for years and years and I've never done that before! My nose hurts like hell and I'm going to have a nasty bruise.
Please share the stupidest things you've done today to help me feel better😀

Went to the gp for my appointment only to be told I was 24 hours early and its tomorrow

Put two bottles of cider in the door shelf of the Airbnb fridge. Managed to dislodge the shelf and smash one if the bottles. There was cider and tiny shreds of glass everywhere. We'd only just arrived and had to spend ages cleaning it up while the kids kept trying to walk through it all. DH cut his hand to add to the chaos. Absolute carnage

Left my passport on the plane and had to beg security to get it for me (after a different security person said she looked and it wasn’t there).

On Tuesday, I said "What do naked men look like?" While working. I work from home, so it was in front of DH and teenage DD.

Eggsboxedandmelting · 10/04/2025 20:25

Tripped on new back door mat and literally fell into the back door. Ds was hysterical...

That’s better than being 24 hours late!

Took my 2.5 year old DS nappy off in the garden with the potty near by. Just testing the water before starting potty training…
He pooed in the garden.. no where near the potty. His sisters found this hilarious!

Oh dear! I'm sorry to say I've laughed at a few of these, but it's a laugh of sympathy, honest! My daughter laughed at me but she was sympathetic too. My nose hurts even more now it's been frozen by a packet of peas...

Dilly dallied about on the internet instead of filling in a dreaded online form that I really need to do and have been putting off for days for some Godforsaken reason.

So tomorrow when I wake up I'll have that same negative thought I've had for at least a week - "FGS do that fucking form TODAY Lindor" - I have no idea why I'm like this! Confused

On Tuesday I locked myself out of my house. Keys, phone, money, everything in the house. I had to go to local shop and borrow their phone to call an emergency locksmith, and paid £50 tax on my own stupidity.

Lost my car key resulting in a £40 taxi home from the station and meaning I have to go back to London tomorrow to see if I left it at the office. Wine is taking the sting away.

I will update you tomorrow… what a numpty.

Poppymeldrum · 10/04/2025 20:58

I work at mcdonalds

We are doing a promotion of an adult happy meal-big mac/nuggets,fries,drink and a collectible toy

A bloke asked for a big mac meal and I asked him if he'd like an 'adult toy' to go with it

His face!he really thought I'd offered him a sex toy...

That took some explaining as I kept digging myself in deeper

My manager is a twat and was hiding behind the wall,pissing himself laughing

I was gardening all morning with gloves on. I'd just about finished and was putting things away in the shed, including my gloves. I saw a small stinging nettle and without remembering I now had bare hands, pulled it out. My hand has been stinging for hours despite some anti sting cream.

Just googled to find out what an “acunit” is after coming across it as an answer in today’s NYT crossword. Turns out it’s an … AC unit. Durrrrrrrr.

Spilt milk on the floor then squeezed washing up liquid all over it to clean it up, when I had actually meant to pick up kitchen cleaning spray

CherryBlossom321 · 10/04/2025 21:51

Chose 60w cool white bulbs for a thrifted chandelier. One child asked why I’m trying to blind them, and the other said it looks like heaven has opened up at the bottom of the stairs 🤦‍♀️

comealongdobbeh · 10/04/2025 22:07

Trying to squeeze bag of cornflakes into plastic tub. Shook the bag to jiggle them about to make them fit. Bag was open…

IncaAztec · 10/04/2025 22:07

Got chased by a dog so hid behind a car on a drive...that set off the homeowners Ring doorbell....for me to have to then tell them I was being chased by a dog...for them to tell me laughing that they had seen the whole incident and the dog was now gone...

highlandsake · 10/04/2025 22:07

Got in the Shower with my Bra on!

Forgot that the extendable lead has a locking mechanism on it and tried to stop the daft dog from going out of the gate by grabbing the thin bit of the lead. - while he was still running. Ouch ouch ouch,
