I happily spooned instant coffee powder into the glass of sparkling water I had just poured for DH this morning.

No idea what I was thinking.

I was heating oil in pan once and I stuck my finger in to check how hot it was.

Very very hot was the answer 😵

Burnt myself ironing a shirt whilst I was wearing it.

Whatsissname · 16/11/2020 16:23

Ha! Often!
Last one was pouring boiling water on my cereal instead of in my mug of tea Hmm

Put what I thought was lime cordial in my water bottle for work, turned out it was vegetable oil. Wasn’t a nice surprise!

Every time I home dye my hair, convince myself I won’t get it on my top this time.

ivfbabymomma1 · 16/11/2020 16:31

Ha ha I'm glad I'm not the only one!!!! It felt like an outer body experience. Like I was looking at myself going no don't do that you tit!!!! BlushBlush

I took a huge mug of soup out of the microwave a couple of weeks ago and had an out-of-body experience where I tilted it sideways to get it out at the same time as thinking "that'll be hot" but continuing with what I was doing. The soup spilled all over the back of my hand and down my arm, leaving huge blisters that are still there now. Never known anything so ridiculous; I knew as I was doing it that if I carried on I'd hurt myself but I just did it anyway.

ivfbabymomma1 · 16/11/2020 16:42

@FudgeBrownie2019 ouch!!!!!!!!! Why do we do these daft things!!!

I carried a full open can of Diet Coke and my phone upstairs to my room and in my head I was going to throw my phone onto the bed (brand new mattress, duvet 4 pillows and expensive covers) but instead launched the full can onto the bed and then just watched in confusion as it soaked in.

WTF.

Sparklesocks · 16/11/2020 16:50

I once had a bit of rubbish in old hand and a letter to post in the other. The postbox and public bin were both near to each other so you can guess what I did - posted the rubbish and chucked the letter in the bin!! Sometimes your brain just seems to short circuit!

Sparklesocks · 16/11/2020 16:50

Ouch! I've done that with hair straighners and bathwater when I've only run the hot. I seem to be determined to erase my fingerprints for some reason Confused.
Aibuabouteverything · 16/11/2020 16:52

@Lickyoulikeacrisppacket I do things like that all the time 🤣

I got a dog treat out of the cupboard for my dog and went and held it up to my 1yo DD's mouth, she opened her mouth and I very nearly dropped it in before I stopped and was like wtf am I doing 🤣🤣

MagpiePi · 16/11/2020 16:54

Was holding a full cup of coffee at work, thought I was going to drop the cup so I kind of jerked it up, and threw all of the coffee down my front and into my lap. .

ivfbabymomma1 · 16/11/2020 16:55

😂😂😂 some of these are hilarious! It confuses me even more because it was one of them miracle 360 cups so I will have had to carry it fairly carefully to the pram!

Phone in one hand, tissue in other... Guess which one I threw in the toilet... I hasten to add I wasn't sitting on the toilet, think I just went in the bathroom to get rid of the tissue Shock that cost me a bit Angry

purplecorkheart · 16/11/2020 16:56

I nearly ripped apart a hotel one handed searching for my phone which I was holding in the other hand while on hold.

2GinOrNot2Gin · 16/11/2020 16:58

I use Mam bottles for baby and when I was making his first bottle this morning I forgot to screw the base on so the water just poured straight out the other end! Not the first time I've done this either!!

peach1234 · 16/11/2020 16:59

The amount of times I've thrown clothes in the bin instead of the laundry basket is a joke

ivfbabymomma1 · 16/11/2020 17:00

Ah yes that has reminded me, I also tend to search for my phone in a panic whilst I'm talking to someone on it!!!

Last week I brewed coffee forgetting to place my mug under the dispenser and it took almost half an hour cleaning the mess I created up

TheCanyon · 16/11/2020 17:11

I do stupid shit like putting finger in hot oil and throwing the dc pyjamas in the bin and pull up in washing basket all the fecking time.

This morning I dropped my mug of coffee onto the table instead of my books., landed on my laptop.

My worst was checking my scalpel was sharp enough by testing it on my arm instead of the cutting mat and perspex right under said arm.

Processing errors. Or in our house, carrots on the sink moments. After the time I carefully diced carrots for a ragu then scraped them off the board into the washing up water.
