To ask for your silliest lessons?

Today I learned to be more careful when flicking clothes pre-wash.

I was jauntily flicking a pair of pants (trousers to some readers), unaware that a sock was caught in one of the ankles. Said sock flew out upon flick, arced through the air in what felt like slow motion, and plopped straight into the toilet bowl (located further down the hall and in its own room) like some sort of [insert witty basketball reference].

Couldn’t have done it if I’d tried!

Lesson learned, but also, massively impressed at the ridiculousness of the scenario.

Please share with me your random/coincidental/“did you just see that?”/“I’ll be careful doing that again” moments! The sillier the better!!!

Fuking hell, that escalated quickly!

@SweetiePi3 that took an unexpected turn rather quickly!

@WhatsYourFavouriteHummingSound other surprise that s/he bets they can't do again

Never take earrings out in the bathroom mirror without putting plug in sink first. 😱

Put down your car keys before tossing rubbish into the skips at the tip...

OP- what do you mean by flicking your clothes??? 🤔

Similar to the second response I’m guessing 😂

I miss read that the first time and wondered why your bathroom mirror was wearing earrings 🤔

If you have pets in your home, don't walk round the house first thing in the morning barefoot without your contacts or glasses.

Learn from my mistakes.

🤣🤣 She's fancy.

Carrying a carving knife on top of a chopping board towards the dishwasher only to watch it slide gently off and land point down in the floor right next to my bare foot........didn't make that mistake again!

Taking out an avocado stone with a knife
Ouch

Managing to drop all the meat and vegetables you've just spent 15 minutes chopping on the the way to the pan is a great way to get a glass of wine and a takeaway out of your husband (once he had finished laughing)

When my DD was a toddler she made the discovery that a certain coin was the exact same size as the charger socket in the car. We made the discovery that a metal disc in said socket shorted the electrics in it.

@takealettermsjones 😂

When having spent ages boiling chicken bones to make stock , put the strainer on another pan not in the sink like you would when straining spuds

Don’t chop aubergines with a blunt knife

Don't have your car/house keys in your hand as you step into the lift for the car park.

They WILL fit in the tiny weeny gap between lift and shop floor and it Will take 5 days for an engineer to be called to retrieve your keys and car and house locksmiths are REALLY EXPENSIVE

Remember that just because you recently acquired a 'soft close' loo seat, not everyone has one - cue me waking my friend's entire household in the middle of the night... oops.

Do not keep the pills you need to take before bed in the same dish as your pearl (stud) earrings.

Don't think your toddler is happily engaged making a picture with a spray bottle full of red paint and decide to hang the washing up. Came back to a kitchen that looked like a murder scene.

Putting oven glove on right hand and removing baking tray with left hand. FFS

Yep. I can't decide whether cat poo, vomit or a mouse face on top of a small heap of innards is worst.
