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?

Reminds me of first time I watched One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest. Big moment as hadn’t seen it until was in my 40s for no good reason. Never felt I was in the right frame of mind for it etc. Big event. Momentous even. Decades of ‘not having seen it’.
Afterwards phoned dp to discuss. Said I hadn’t realised it was in black and white and that it felt older than I had realised and I found it odd and kept wondering what ‘message’ the director was sending by choosing b and w blah blah blah. Dp said what are talking about, it’s in colour? Turns out my scart plug had come a bit loose and caused colour to go. Bloody hell.

I once lost my phone on Christmas day. We even went through the bin looking for it. A whole month later I put my hand in a little pocket I don't usually use in my handbag and pulled it out. No idea why or when I'd put it there, and I'd been carrying it round for a month!

I stiuck my index finger onto a stick blender that had got jammed up (hint - not the ideal way to make breadcrumbs), while thinking 'I should probably turn this off at the wall to be on the safe side'.

My colleague and I were just finishing a night shift, walked down to the changing rooms and she pointed her car key fob at her locker to unlock it! Delirious after night shift, we nearly died laughing!!

onto = into

Timely breadmaker fail. I use it every day and often have to talk myself through adding water to the tin, not the machine. This time I completely forgot it.

@Scarby9 - That is a life long fear of mine. Do you still have all your fingers?

I did that on a double mini roundabout. I'd listened really carefully and taken in all the necessary info I needed from my instructor, who had laboriously explained where I needed to be at what point, and where other cars were going to emerge.

When I got to the junction, my eyes went massive, and none of my limbs did what they were meant to. No change in steering, speed, gear, no indicating, nothing. Straight across the middle of both roundabouts.

My instructor calmly said 'Lets try that again. Keep your eyes open, like last time, but this time, look through them as well.'

@dolphinpose I was so lucky! It sliced deep into the fleshy part of my finger. I couldn't stop the bleeding and ended up in A & E where they closed it with a butterfly strip.
You can see a line where the cut was but it is otherwise fine now. It could have been the whole top of the finger, or sliced into the nail... Such a stupid thing to do.

After popping to the shops with my son. Went back to the car which was parked in a busy car park. We both got in the car, put our seat belts on and I was about to start the engine when I saw a pink fluffy thing hanging from the mirror. Both my son and I looked around us and realised it wasn’t actually my car we were in. We quickly got out when we realised.🤔

Text my DH to tell him he had left his phone at home 😳

I went upstairs with a can of coke (opened) and my handbag. I put my handbag on the bedside table and threw the open can of almost full coke onto my newly made bed!

These have all proper made me laugh to the point of tears 😂😂😂😂

Long time ago now I was waiting for a taxi to arrive, and on looking out of the window saw the car had parked up on the kerb outside.
Shouted goodbye to my housemates and grabbed my bag, coat, scarf etc as quite cold day and slid into the back seat of the cab.
Right into two small children who were waiting for their mum to get in the front.
Dad not best pleased and I quickly got back out and went back into my house. Cancelled taxi, clearly not safe to run loose on the streets.

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!

Similar but car keys in one hand and envelopes in the other. Making it worse it was late Saturday afternoon and well after the box had been emptied but I managed to post the car keys into the post box and walked back to the car with the envelopes. Had to leave the car where I'd parked it, unlocked on the main street and walk 5 miles home and wait till Monday morning for the sorting office to open again.

Got home from a long drive with DDog on the back seat 300 miles+ we stopped along the way and she was fine. At home she couldn't get out of the car, I kept encouraging her and she got to a sitting position but no further, bloody hell her back legs are buggered I thought. Just about to head off to the out of hours vets when it dawned that I'd not unclipped from her strap to the seatbelt anchor. Imagine at the vets, "you'll have so see her in the car as she can't get up".

I’m glad I’m not the only numpty. The stories are great and putting a big smile to my face 🤪😆😁

I was going mad searching for my keys which I was holding. Also made Angel Delight for the children and instead of pouring it from jug to bowl I poured it down the sink.

I usually read my kindle for a while before I go to sleep, took a 'real' book to bed one night, settled down, turned the light off and wondered why I couldn't see anything, took me a minute to figure out.

I've lost count of the number of time I've tried to enlarge the text on a magazine like I would on an iPad 😂

Stapled two fingers together. I remember looking at them lying under the stapler, on top of the paper but did it anyway 🙄

My dad cut his finger so put a plaster on it. Was deep frying some food, the plaster came off and he reached in the boiling oil to grab the plaster

When I asked how his finger was, he commented that at least the boiling oil had sealed the cut from bleeding

Making myself soluble painkillers. Get them out the pack. Go and plop them in, not the beaker they were supposed to go in, but mam's coffee next to it!

@PickAChew

This is my mental block too! I'm always amazed at how the aroma of bread baking is basically just hot flour, because it still smells amazing even with no water in it!

Working at a coffee shop, put my hand under the steamer to stop the milk in the jug overflowing . Cue a visit to hospital with terrible burns and blisters .
And yesterday , I emptied the bag of sugar into my husbands mug of tea instead of the sugar pot.
