I regularly make drinks for DS or DH and try to give them to the wrong person. I've never passed one to the dog yet, but there's plenty of time. I remember throwing my knickers in the toilet and a tissue in the washing basket as a kid too - the tissue was from messing with makeup, I don't know what I was thinking but I was very embarassed at the time and told nobody.

oh and looked for my head phones while listening to music through said headphones about once every two weeks !

I was at a theme park when my children were 1 and 3 and was so nervous about losing one of them. At one point I couldn't find the 1 year old and starting panicking. My husband was laughing and I couldn't figure out why he wasn't helping me look for her. He thought I was joking because I was holding her on my hip!

Pointing the car key at the house door, pressing the button over and over and wondering why it wasn't unlocking was a particular high point of mine.

One of my most recent is pouring lovingly made chicken stock straight through the sieve into the sink

I really threw it in there, swoop - style, pretending I was Delia

My Mum told me of the time she was making a cake and had scraped the mixture into a tin using a spatula. She washed and dried said spatula and carefully balanced it on the rack in the oven to bake.

I am constantly offering my dog a sippy cup of water with an enthusiastic “here you go” whilst the toddler I childcare for looks like Confused

@grassisjeweled I did that last month looking for codeine (period was early) and I'd already laid hands on it in the first place I looked but not actually registered it. Husband laughed and tidied up my mess as I cursed myself, bless his bones.

Ratched · 16/11/2020 18:01

I was talking on my mobile, frantically searching for my mobile, convinced I had lost it.
Chatting to my dad ( who drones on for hours), I mouthed to DH 'Lost my fucking phone, cant find it anywhere'.
DH just nodded wisely. And smiled. Twat.

Stirred a massive tin of paint. Rested the lid on, tipped it upside down to mix it better.

Paint everywhere, luckily in the kitchen so mainly on the worktop but still. X

HUCKMUCK · 16/11/2020 18:03

I have done that thing where I’m talking on my mobile, want to look at my calendar and am frantically looking for my mobile. What a knob.

HUCKMUCK · 16/11/2020 18:04

My DH had a small strip at the weekend when he couldn’t get the Tesco scan as you shop thing to work. He was scanning his Morrisons card!!!

Lemoncurd · 16/11/2020 18:04

Went to pour a second glass of wine... filled it with milk!

HUCKMUCK · 16/11/2020 18:04

He did not strip in Tesco!!!! He had a strop!

JovialNickname · 16/11/2020 18:06

Yesterday I shaved my legs, bikini line, armpits in the shower. It was only afterwards I realised I'd left the little clear plastic shield on the razor

Lazysundayafternoons · 16/11/2020 18:07

I did similar to you OP (but possibly more stupid).

Got myself a glass of water while I was making the baby a bottle. Had both on the kitchen worktop. Picked up both and instead of shaking the bottle to mix the powder, I shook the glass of water and it all ended up in my face.

Similar, but more than once I’ve tried to get into work with my bank dard

BillMasen · 16/11/2020 18:08

Card, clearly

Similar to you OP - made a cup of coffee, and promptly threw it in the bin. From which I had just removed the liner. . .

AmandaHoldensLips · 16/11/2020 18:12

Poured an entire chicken curry straight into the sink while somehow thinking I was draining the rice.

I cried.

Bathbrush · 16/11/2020 18:13

Same child 2 years later got sent to ILs (so we could spend time with newborn DS2) with a bag packed with 1 newborn nappy, a carrot and 6 t shirts.

That really tickled me 😂

On holiday last year we had an electric hob (have gas at home). I wasn't sure which way was off so I thought to myself, I think I've turned it off but I'd better check and so decided to check by putting my hand on it. It wasn't off and I ended up in a Greek hospital with third degree burns.
