To ask if you ever do something

[ivfbabymomma1]

.... that's so stupid without thinking & then your like why the f**k did I just do that?

I just made a cup of juice for my DS, and without putting the lid on chucked it in the bottom of the pram?! Why!!! What was I thinking?

An elderly relative microwaved an egg, whole, without piercing it. It blew the door off the microwave.

I tried to cross a bog the other day and ended up calf deep... both legs. By the time it had slurped me in, neurons had fired, my other leg was already moving. My boots have nice tweed panels on them, as well as leather. (If anyone has a clue how to clean them up, let me know. )

Dr. Beckmann carpet stain remover would probably do the job on the tweedy bits, I'd just let them dry off and give them a gentle brush down first.

This thread is brilliant. I have a lot of moments like this but the most recent was when I was looking at MN while waiting for the kettle to boil for a cup of tea. Naturally when I went to the fridge to get the milk I put my phone in the fridge (didn't pick up the milk) and closed it again. It took a couple of seconds of looking blankly at the fridge door before my brain kicked into gear and realised what I had done.

A few years ago, coming back home after a long flight. Stopped at a service station for a much needed coffee. Put the coffee on the top of the car while getting the keys. Forgot to pick it up again and drove away. 🤦🏻‍♀️

I put a teabag in a mug then filled it with cold tap water yesterday

I once held a plastic cup in my mouth so I could tie my hair back, and then threw my head back and threw the drink all over my face!

I normally use a chilly bottle for water but had forgotten it so had a plastic bottle.

It was sat on my desk next to a large bottle of hand sanitiser. Guess which one I unscrewed abs attempted to drink in front of 30 Year 7s ...

I regularly enter my PIN number instead of the key code to get into work (or vice versa).
Also clicking my car key fob and wondering why the front door won't open

I mostly read using a kindle nowadays and you swipe left to turn the page

Recently read a ‘real’ book and tried to swipe to turn the page 🤪

On Friday I text DH in a mood because he'd taken the last of the milk to work and I couldn't have tea. He swore he hadn't touched it - hormonal bickering ensued.
Saturday afternoon, putting away shopping we find the carton of milk in the cereal cupboard where I'd clearly left it after breakfast on Thursday

One from dsis, when she had eldest nephew. He had colic and she was sleep deprived. I called her and she started crying to I panicked and rushed to her. I found her crying looking at a smashed glass on her kitchen floor so sent her to bed, cleaned up and looked after nephew. Looking through his changing bag for nappies etc when needed and found a pocket filled with a full set of cutlery and a pair of her socks 😂

It's a family thing as I also have one from ddad - he was playing with his guitar, finished and just dropped it on the floor Said afterwards he has no idea why, he loves that guitar and always takes good care of it. Cost him a fair bit to fix too I believe!

Over the years I've had some close-calls with super glue, fingers almost stuck together, that sort of thing. But nothing like my most recent lunacy.

Went to open super glue and it'd been used before so of course the twisty plastic lid was glued shut. Decided it would be a good idea to open it with my teeth.

Placed in between teeth and twisted. Plastic top didn't budge, super glue poured out of the folded end bit, down my cheek, all over my hand and fingers. Absolutely shit myself thinking it had gone into my mouth and was attempting to shout to DH (while not moving my mouth so as not to spread it), "It's in my mouth! What do I do?!"

By the grace of God it wasn't in my mouth; DH just watched on absolutely wetting himself at me. Luckily managed to refrain from sticking fingers together again and had fun afterwards picking the glue off my hand/fingers.

Last time I try to reuse super glue!

Reading these out to my husband, he asked that I tell you about the time he was ironing, and put a full glass of lemonade in the iron to make steam instead of the measuring jug of water that was right next to it. It took ages to get all the caramel out of the sole plate holes.

First married Christmas, I had bought an expensive fresh goose for Christmas dinner.
I took it out of the oven and wrapped it in some foil to rest while I cleared the wrappings etc that it had cooked in.
Then threw the goose into the bin outside and left the wrappings to rest instead.
We ended up eating sausages with all the trimmings.

Another time, I refuelled my car, went into the filling station to pay and walked back out.
And carried on walking home a few minutes walk away.....and I still didn't realise until the police knocked on my door a couple of hours later!

Getting in my car to reverse out of my very narrow driveway, looking in my wing mirror thinking I should manoeuvre away from the house while watching and hearing the wing mirror scrap all along the brickwork of the side of the house

Took the remote control to work and left my mobile by the TV at home.

Washed my hair with shaving gel because I was debating if I could be bothered to shave my legs or not.

Spent ages looking for my phone. Rang it. Followed the sound of vibrating to the mug cupboard in the kitchen.

Once put my phone on a spin cycle and only realised when I phoned it and saw it lighting up the washing machine.

My parents had a microwave with a broken timer, so used a kitchen timer instead. Dad microwaved the timer one morning instead of the coffee and only realised when the place started to smell of burning plastic.

Setting up for Mass. (I'm an altar server) put the full incense boat on the thurible stand and carried it out to the sanctuary. Obviously it fell off. Incense grains everywhere! Took ages to clear up.

Threw my car keys in the dustbin instead of the bin bag (and took some time to realise)!

Retrieving them was no mean fear.

*Feat, grrr

Spent ages making fresh pasta ravioli (new and first pasta maker) and porcini sauce. Served it proudly to dh and then knocked a glass of wine over with the glass splintering all around my lovely dish.
Seriously considered risking it, but the whole meal went in the bin.
Later sold the pasta maker for only £2 at an auction.

And I've binned my wedding ring. It was under some tissues on the door of the car after I'd taken it off to use a sunbed.
I'm not allowed to have another one...

And I've driven my toddler all the way to work having forgotten to drop her off at childcare.

I do a lot if these and think ‘that’s not right...’ the other day I was trying to get a small pie dish off a hot baking tray. I had a teatowel to push the hot pie dish then thought it would be easier if I pulled the tray closer, as the tray had just been in a 220c oven my bare hand wasn’t the best utensil!

My mum did the same thing, bunched up a pile of papers on her kitchen counter and binned them, the night before bin day. She realised her rings were with them too late and was so annoyed with herself. I wonder how many rings are lying in dumps.

I gave been sat reading for a hour , silently cursing my neighbour for having their music on to loud , I can hear it , also it sound terrible and tinny .
Only when I moved did I realise it was my own head phones I left connected to the radio on my laptop . IDIOT
