Lighthearted...what daft thing have you done lately?

[LushLemonTart]

Make me feel better.

I took a photo to upload on an app as needed it for an agency (extra job) . Luckily I noticed the tag at the front as had my jumper on inside out 🤣🙈 It's health care. They'd be signing me up for a carer!

Was in Spar the other day, got to the till and went in my bag to get my purse, panicked as I couldn't find it.
Said to the lady, sorry but I can't find my purse. She looked at me, pointed and said is that it under your arm?
I'd taken it out to get a carrier bag out and slotted it under my armpit !

I tried to log onto my work computer and was wondering my the touchscreen wasn’t working. I tried at least 5 times and nope…but using the mouse and keyboard did the job perfectly!

in my defence I ling into 2 systems abd one is touch screen but the two are very different and I’ve never done it before in my 22years of employment 🤦🏻‍♀️

Put the dinner to be cooked in the oven still in all the packaging, cardboard, plastic film and all. Straight from the fridge into the oven. Cooked for half an hour before DH came home as asked if it was meant to be like that.

Dropped a bottle of mouthwash in the downstairs bathroom, it hit the floor and went everywhere! Wiped it up, minty smelling bathroom, all good.
Following day, did exactly the same in the upstairs bathroom, 2 minty smelling bathrooms, huzzah!

Loving these, making me feel not quite so inadequate 😂

Love the walking to the MOT one. I've noticed that in my old age (mid 40s) I've REALLY had to start properly thinking about things like this...and trying not to be clever and invariably fucking up, like arranging to 'kill two birds with one stone as I've got to drop the car off the garage anyway' and then remembering the lack of car, duh 😅

Set up a recurring meeting on my phone, whilst taking to someone about something else. It turned out to be. 14 hour long meeting all night every other week!

Popped into my local shop on the way home from work and just as I was driving off I saw DH going into the shop. Thinking he was picking up snacks on his way to football, I lowered my window and shouted “hiya gorgeous”. He turned round and yes, you’ve guessed it, totally random guy wearing the same coat as my husband. I was mortified - he just grinned and said “thanks luv!”.

My colleague told me she was testing the doorbell, we were both standing together. When she turned around to ask if I thought the volume was OK I was gone, i was standing at the door wondering where rhe mysterious caller had disappeared to.

I’ve dialled “9” for an outside line, from my mobile or home phone, more often than I care to remember.

Sounds like a life hack TikTok account waiting to happen!

Same, same, same! I used to be brilliant with dates and times - now I have to double check EVERYTHING! Stupid middle-aged brain fog! Honestly I wouldn't be surprised if I got my birthdate wrong now that I am in the thick of it - think I need an uplift for my medication!

Was coming down with flu a few years ago, just starting to really feel grotty. Got home from work and couldn’t understand why my front door wouldn’t open. I was waving my work door pass at it and expecting the door to open.

I did similar once in Klass. Kept saying to MIL how lovely the things in Roman were for her. You can't go wrong in Roman. Dh whispered we're not in Roman 🙈 To be fair they're next to each other. Good job I didn't diss Klass!

I was thinking of buying men's pants for DS as he's outgrowing boy's clothes sizes. I was in the supermarket and took a picture of the packet of medium men's pants and sent it on WhatsApp to DW to check her thoughts on size.

2 seconds later I get an automatic acknowledgement WhatsApp from our vet! I'd sent a picture of a man's crotch to our vet!!

It couldn't have been one of the usual pictures I take of pizza or a gift idea. Had to be a man's crotch.

Haha, I've definitely tried to get through the barriers on the tube using my work pass multiple times... and into work using my oysters card (before the move to contactless). Funnily enough those things aren't interchangeable 😅

My dd1 did similar only she'd walked out of Primark with a full basket of stuff! She had to sneak back in 🤣

Last Saturday we were going to a party & i bought a brand new crossover style top from the local charity shop, originally from Next at a bargain price or so I thought. Trouble was I couldn't get the bloody thing on! Tried to put it on over my head, one arm at a time, both arms together, managed to finally get it on by stepping in to it and with OH helping me. I never would have managed it on my own. He also had to help me get it off. It went straight into the clothes recycling bag and now I know why someone donated it to the charity shop!

Fell down the stairs. Again. Second time in three weeks.

When I was checked in the hospital for various broken bits, they asked what had happened to my foot as it is swollen and has a fading bruise. 'Fell down the stairs' I said!

Pointed excitedly to something in a confectionary store cabinet, thinking the person in my peripheral vision was my daughter. Turned out to be the daughter of the owner, who looks nothing like my own. “Sorry, Darling! I saw the black outfit and thought you were my daughter!” I said. My daughter wasn’t even wearing black that day! 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️ poor thing must have thought I was crazy!

Fell for an email scam whereby I am now the proud possessor of a £100 Apple gift card I have no use for. The only upside is the scammer won't get the benefit of it but it was a very expensive life lesson. In my defence my life is extremely stressful at the moment and I just wasn't thinking straight

Ice skating.

This happened only yesterday… Long day at work and was on my 2nd of 3 trains I need to get home.

The school rang to ask where I was as my eldest DC was waiting at after school club. My DH does Thursdays so rang him to find out where he was.

He pointed out it was Friday and my day to pick up the kids and he was on the train home. Worse, I’d driven in and the car was still sitting in the work car park.

I had to send an embarrassing WhatsApp to the class chat asking if anyone could pick my DS up and then get off the train and get 2 more back to the office to get the car

I shall never live it down!

I walked my daughter to nursery one morning, went in and hung up jacket and bag, then walked home with her. Didn't even realise until I'd made her breakfast that I'd forgot to actually take her into the classroom.

Oh, so many times 😬😂

I was returning a large package to Amazon yesterday. I rolled it in on a hand cart. Everything went smoothly.. I was so thrilled to be able to cross the return off my list that I took the receipt and happily turned and made a speedy exit. As I was just outside the door, I heard the clerk yell, " Ma'am! Come back you've forgotten your cart". Boy was my face red.

Im forever doing things like this..once I went to the dry cleaners to pickup my clothes, presented my claim check, paid, and exited the shop without my clothes!

The most embarrassing was when I ordered food at a drive thru McDonald's, paid for it, put my car in gear and got about a car length away and I heard, "Ma'am, Ma'am, come back, you've forgotten your food!"🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄
