AIBU to feel like an utter numpty because when the ticket collection on the train asked

[apostrophethesnowman]

...me for my weekly ticket I went into my purse and handed him my debit card instead! He and his colleague (and half the carriage!) thought it was very funny.

They reckoned that I've perhaps been doing too much Christmas shopping so my hand was in auto pilot.

Oh well at least it kept my fellow-commuters entertained on a cold dark winter morning!

Another embarrassing moment...

I'm a Catholic and when we go into church we genuflect.

I once went into the cinema, went down the aisle and genuflected before going into my seat.

I was so thankful the lights were out.

i have lost the plot today. taken two wrong turns in my car. Mind whirring with 'twitchy' thoughts, have just not been 'there' so to speak.

I have given myself a headache.!

hhahaha, that's hilarious!!!!

I tried to drink coffee through a straw earlier..

It wasn't a straw. It was the teaspoon.

OMG I literally burst out laughing loudly at the genuflecting in the cinema!

Dh and I work at the same place. I got home (part time) looked at my hand and thought 'omg- I took my wedding ring off because it's itchy underneath and left it in very busy public place at work!' I frantically ring dh at work and whilst speaking to him ds points out that they're on my finger-I'd been looking at the wrong hand!

I saw that DP had left his mobile at home so I phoned his mobile to tell him and then laughed at myself when I heard his phone ring only to do the same thing five minutes later

I'm almost afraid to post any more, but if you can't laugh at yourself...

Just wondering if anyone else ever searches for their specs all over the house, only to be told by their daughter/son (delete as appicable) that said specs are actually on your face. Ooops

I knew I was losing the plot yesterday when I washed my mug out at work.

Gave it a good sloosh around under the running tap, popped the tea bag into the mug and then gave the teabag a good wash too .

at the missing rings! I bet your DH never let you live that down.

Never lost my glasses on my face but frequently panic that my phone/keys/purse have vanished from pocket.....because they're in my sodding hand.

My glasses are very hard to find when I'm not wearing my glasses, so it is DH's job to find them for me. Unfortunately one time (several years ago) there was an unfortunate confusion while cooking and he found them nearly sitting on a shelf in the fridge. Every single cry of "I can't find X" for the last ten years has been met with "Have you tried the fridge?"

I came out of a supermarket today and tried to get into a car which was the same make, model, colour and year as mine. The owners happened to arrive back at the car just as I realised my mistake, so I explained what had happened and how my big, dark blue, MPV was identical to theirs ... However, as I walked away, I realised I'd actually borrowed DH's car, and had to drive past their very puzzled faces in a very small, red, car!!

Oh wow I'm fucking howling at genuflecting in the cinema. I would so loved to hsve been there.

My DH called me once on the house phone from work, which was unusual as we usually use our mobile.

In the middle of the conversation I told him I had to go and look for the handset of the house phone as it seemed to be missing and I couldn't remember seeing it all day and I needed it to call this particular person. He said, Oh, ok then. I'll call your mobile when I finish work.

Ten minutes later he rang back and asked if I had found the handset

Hoo

Yesterday at the gym I saw a man pausing, obviously mortified, between two identical black Fiats parked next to each other. You could totally see he was having a 'Shit, what's my licence plate?' moment. I admit to watching him for a couple of minutes as he gingerly looked into both cars, and eventually resorted to trying his key in one (it worked).

It totally made me feel better about myself.

Used to work in a coffee shop after a long day working on the till- recieving money and saying thank you become second nature- nipped to cashpoint after work, drew out money and yes said thank you to the machine and of course there was a huge queue behind me- cringe

I was walking to my sisters and gave her a call to check she was in. halfway through the call I said oh shit I'll be 5 minutes I've left my phone at home and turned round to collect the phone, that was in my hand.

at all the other eejits on mumsnet!

today is my due date. I have been anxiously checking my phone all afternoon in case . . .what, I missed a text from the foetus saying he's been delayed and will start labour tomorrow? !

I keep catching myself doing it and thinking - WTF? !

...I was once reading an interesting article on my laptop, but had to go do something so I closed over the laptop to put it down, but not before inserting a piece of paper in the laptop to keep my place - like you would do with a book.

I really need to stop admitting to this stuff. It's doing my credibility no good whatsoever.

Unfortunately all of it is absolutely true.

I frequently try and put the kettle 'back' in the fridge. I always get really annoyed when it doesn't fit!

We have 4 digit codes for everything, school entrance, gates, laptop trollies, PIN numbers. They swarm around in my head and I often try to pay for my shopping with the code for the PE store. Several times.

I too get pissed off when the kettle won't fit in the fridge

I tried to buy something in M&S today with my train ticket from last weekend, the lady looked at me and so I looked at her (wondering what the delay was about).... I was when I realised...

I just snorted out loud reading these.
