So I was smug that I had never put a pizza in the oven with the polystyrene tray still attached. I mean, what kind of fuckwit does that?!

In other news...... I am having sandwiches for dinner.....

I've never turned the house upside down to look for my phone to check something on the internet whilst talking on the phone . I'd love to say that happened just once but it's happened so many times

pointythings · 16/04/2021 09:00

I've certainly never walked around the house wondering why the lights were so dim today and was there an issue with the electricity, and I definitely wasn't still wearing my sunglasses from driving at the time.

60sbird · 16/04/2021 09:15

I’ve never started panicking that I’ve put my mobile in the washing machine whilst talking on it, much to the amusement of my partner whom I was talking to on said mobile

SilverDragonfly1 · 16/04/2021 10:28

I've never taken any illegal drugs.

I've also never been offered any illegal drugs and sometimes wonder how strait laced I must have appeared in my youth for that to be the case!

SilverDragonfly1 · 16/04/2021 10:30

I've also never misunderstood the premise of a thread and posted something irrelevant...

PredominantlyPurple · 16/04/2021 10:33

I've never done that either, especially when said glasses were actually on my face

My husband has never done that, which is why the kids and I have never spent 10 minutes falling about with laughter while he didn't look for them.

DungeonKeeper · 16/04/2021 10:36

Never ever tried to put the kettle in the fridge (I was pregnant at the time!).

60sbird · 16/04/2021 10:44

Oh and I’ve never worn two different ugg boots of the same colour and not notice until I took them off that evening

Pinkyavocado · 16/04/2021 10:45

I have never asked someone their name then promptly forgotten it 10 seconds later.

LindaEllen · 16/04/2021 10:58

@Pinchoftums

I have never frantically looked for my phone. Whilst on my bloody phone.
Oh god that's something I do far more often than I should admit!
60sbird · 16/04/2021 11:00

I have never taken wrong son to hospital appointment after collecting him from school only to have to return him and ask for the other one, they both had same initials and were both expecting appointments.
In other news 3rd son got a different initial

Twatterati · 16/04/2021 11:01

I've never skipped out the shop to the car where OH was patiently waiting, jumped in, closed the door, seatbelt on, and - finally - looked at OH. Had a WTF moment and yelled "ooohh, you're not OH!!" and jumped out again.

20 years ago and still one of the funniest things I've never done! In my defence the car was the same colour and shape(ish) and parked where I'd been dropped off.

Ilovedthe70s · 16/04/2021 11:08

I never ever drove my car past my house and started shouting frantically at my passenger that someone has stolen my car as it wasn’t in the hedge where I left it

Landofthefree · 16/04/2021 11:15

I have never worn a top back to front for a whole day at work without noticing. I have also never posted a newspaper into a post box instead of a birthday card.

DancingInTheDaffodils · 16/04/2021 11:16

I have never stood outside my front house door, trying to plip open it with my car key for a full 5 minutes

listsandbudgets · 16/04/2021 11:27

I've never rushed round looking for my shoes whilst wearing them.. that would be ridiculous..

Nor have I ever mixed up 2 similar bottles and added apple juice instead of milk to my coffee... I mean who'd do that... it would taste digusting

listsandbudgets · 16/04/2021 11:29

Oh and I've never hassled my children out of the house in a huge rush to get to early school club then got to the bus stop and realised the clocks had changed it and was only 6.15am

Graphista · 16/04/2021 11:42

I have never smugly thought I am super organised with my online supermarket shop I do weekly...

... I am heading into a week with only basics, no treats and worst of all no fizzy pop! Sad

I forgot to update my hastily booked order. I place my orders as far in advance as I can with basics and then update with nice stuff added the day before. Last night I missed the deadline! Totally kicking myself!

Spectacles on head, looking for phobe while ON the phone I have definitely done multiple times, a few times thinking car lost/stolen when it's actually on a different level of a multi-storey car park - that I've done this more than once is seriously embarrassing! Not driven for some years at this point but if I ever do again I'll be making a note of what level I've parked on with phone!

I have never out the milk in the cupboard and cereal in the fridge - promise your honour!

I can do better! While a sleep deprived new mum I put milk in the tumble dryer snd (clean freshly laundered) socks in the fridge! Didn't realise until I next went to make a cuppa, luckily realised before turning dryer on!

I've never fallen off my slipper on my way to the toilet, broke my foot in three places and required surgery to put it all back together.

Wow! And ouch!

I have never stroked my dds hair while she was in a queue in a shop...except it wasn't dd Blush

I have never put boiling water & fairy in my smoothie makers bottle and shook it up so it would be easier to clean the next day (late night smoothie craving) and it definitely didn't explode showering me and the kitchen in smoothie, fairy liquid and hot water!...still haven't been able to get all the marks off the ceiling Blush

MrsAvocet · 16/04/2021 11:56

My DH has never, ever made the piano tuner a drink using gravy granules instead of coffee. He definitely didn't add milk and sugar to the concoction.
In other news, we are looking for a new piano tuner....

shutterteal · 16/04/2021 12:00

My DH and I have never been to an evening bbq and had a great time. After we left, much later than planned, we decided we would call our family when we got home - overseas 4 hours time difference. When my Dad asked to talk to our 6 year old daughter we definitely never remembered we had a daughter who might have been left at the party nearly an hour previously.
Not us, no.

Giggorata · 16/04/2021 12:18

I have never driven away from the village fete, smiling about what a nice time we all had, then looked in the back seat and realised the DC were still there...
In other news, the DC were becoming increasingly independent.

I have never got lost in my own village, admittedly on the new mini estate...
In other news, I have discovered some new routes.

I have never let the wily old dog out for a pee when the gates were open.
In other news, he had a fine chicken dinner from a neighbour's bin.

LadyIsabellaWrotham · 16/04/2021 12:54

I have absolutely no idea who set fire to the college laundry room thirty years ago (it got put out quite quickly).
In other news, the vents on top of an industrial gas tumble dryer which make it a really really stupid place to leave laundry are very hard to see if you’re only five foot two.

I also have no idea why whenever I ask DH whether he’s seen my glasses he asks whether I’ve looked in the fridge. What a completely random and inexplicable question!

Judystilldreamsofhorses · 16/04/2021 12:59

I have never been hysterical because someone stole my dog from where I left him while I popped into the supermarket for some milk. I was literally two minutes!

In other news, he was patiently waiting, at a different entrance, because another dog was where I would usually leave him.
