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!!!

Get dressed before opening the curtains if you life in a flat with a street lamp outside that is getting the bulb changed

If you keep your phone in your back jeans pocket, turn to face the toilet before pulling them up!

It only takes one unbelievably expensive mistake to learn that though.

@bonfirebash my left middle finger still tingles slightly from where I got the knife stuck in the bone stoning an avocado.

Being lazy as a teenager I couldn't be bothered to take the backs off of my earrings and just pulled the front off of one of them off thinking the back would just drop off and onto the table. It didn't, it got pulled inside of my ear lobe and my mum had to take me to the minor injuries unit to have a doctor retrieve it from inside my ear lobe.

Check what day the window cleaner comes before sitting naked on your bedroom floor facing said window to wax your bits.

He didn't knock to ask payment that week. It was never, ever mentioned.

Exactly what I did! I felt it hit the bone

Ensure that the photos of yourself that you are sharing with your health support group are not stored even remotely close to the ones of your dog's recent genital surgery for uploading to the vet's post-op monitoring app.

Ye gods. 😳

Don’t open bags with recently sharpened knives. Took one A&E trip to be reunited with my fingertip to learn that lesson!

@Lemonyyy also don't break apart frozen chicken breasts with a very sharp knife. Forgot my mum had sorted out my freezer and had carefully put freezer tissue between each one. Damn things shot apart and I needed three stitches in my thumb.
