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!

Not me but I once went ot the dentist slightly early and another lady came in, saying she knew she was early but she'd just sit and wait. Could they just check her appointment time so she knew how long she'd be waiting.
That would be a few days as it was Thursday and her appointment was for the following Tuesday..........

Ha! I'm reading a book rather than my kindle and can't stop tapping my thumb on the page to turn it over.

yeah I did not get my Starbucks ordered right at all. I can not get my head round their menu at all I got a drink for £13 and it was 7 inches high. I just wanted a super big and tall iced blonde roast espresso made coffee with milk and lots of inclusions anyone know what I should order? An iced latte I want some syrup and cold foam but that's it.

This thread has come at a good time as felt like crying this evening..loft was beautifully organised last year.... during my organisation process I have most likely binned my record of achievement with all my certificates in. They are now asking for these at an interview this week! Just searched and looks like that will be £50 a pop to try and get copies.FML.

Took my daughter to a party 2 weeks early 😱 realised only when I phoned the mum. Nearly got a parking ticket, and had to compensate disappointed dau!

Oh no are you definitely sure? Could you have put them elsewhere?

Also accidentally took unused £18 hairbrush to charity shop in past xmas clear out 😭

I've told this story before but I do think it's a classic

I had to accompany a gentleman with learning difficulties to a meeting with his bank, for work. The bank clerk took us into a room, there was only 1 spare chair so I let him sit there & the bank clerk pointed to a fold up chair fixed to the wall for me. I pulled it out & sat on it. After about 10 mins the bank clerk looked over at me and said "I thought you were a bit high up. You're supposed to take the chair off the wall before you sit on it!" 🤣

🤣🤣🤣

These damn cream cars confusing us!
😉☺️

I hope your teeth were ok!

I’ve done loads of daft things - I’m renowned for it in the family!

A few years ago DH and I were on holiday in Rhodes with our DS. Self catering apartments but with hotel facilities- pool, restaurant, reception etc. A couple of days before we were due to leave, I went to Reception to arrange a late check out room. Got it booked and went back to our apartment, opened the door and called out ‘That’s all sorted then, let’s go to the beach’. No answer so I opened the bedroom door to be greeted by a couple sitting up in bed. Yes, I’d entered the wrong apartment- same position as ours but in a different block! I just said, ‘Oh I’m so sorry’ and rushed out at the speed of Usain Bolt back to the correct apartment and buried my head in a pillow!

On another holiday in Turkey with DH and the kids, I managed to fuse the electricity and cause a power and lights failure in the whole complex by leaving the electric kettle on the hob whilst the hob was switched on 🙈. Completely oblivious I said, ‘Oh goodness, a power cut’ and DD said ‘Yes I think that was you Mum!’

And then there was the time I caused the building alarm to go off in the British Museum by mistaking the alarm cord in the disabled loo for the toilet chain. (In the disabled as Ladies closed). I came out of the cubicle to find DH and the kids with their hands over their ears and the most horrendously loud alarm going off. We didn’t stay to look at any other exhibits in the museum……..

I think I’ll stop there!

I once repurposed a large glass fish bowl, we were having a dinner party ( normally got take away) and I had cooked chicken chausser. I thought it would be lovely to put some floating candles into the bowl of water. Just as dinner was placed on the table the bowl exploded everywhere. Safe to say we just had pizza delivered.

Took my glaaa of water to bed and held my phone charger over it. Just check me into the retirement home
now. (am 48!)

There was the time at my parents’ house when I opened some packaging with scissors, carefully placed the rubbish in pride of place on the mantelpiece, and chucked my mother’s scissors into the (coal) fire. I had to fish them out with the poker, but the plastic handles were never the same again.

Just recently I managed to get my foot twisted up in the duvet as I tried to get out of bed. I immediately fell over and somehow managed to land on the other foot in such a way that my big toe bent around and under my foot so I essentially stood on it. The pain was indescribable and my toe developed a weird purple bruise in a very narrow line spiralling around my toe like a piece of string. I’ve had to wear my wellies everywhere for a week as I couldn’t get any of my other shoes on! I am 37 years old.

I'm really sorry but I am literally crying with laughter at your toe saga with the weird bruise 😂

And I managed to wrap the electric blanket cord around both of my Birkenstocks today, like I was knitting them together 😆Nearly went down like a sack of spuds.

I have tourettes and just before Christmas I was in the post office which was obviously busy. As I was leaving I glanced back at the big queue that had formed and at that very moment my tourettes decided to yell whoop whoop weeeeeee, so it looked like I'd turned round to yell nonsense at a load of strangers 😐 thank god I wear a lanyard explaining my tourettes otherwise I'd have had a few more funny looks.

I've joined a brilliant new fitness class but its impossible to find. Tucked away on an industrial estate with no signs and Google maps takes you to a completely different place. I invited a friend to come with me so made a video walking from the car park to the class so she could find it, while huffing and moaning in the background that the teacher doesn't give clear directions and now does she expect anyone to find it? I then sent it to the teacher instead of my friend 🫤

I've also done the looking for my phone while on the phone. I was chatting to my cousin while getting ready to leave and getting more and more panicked that I couldn't find it. I eventually said 'I have to go as I cant find my phone' he said 'No problem, ring me back when you find it!' We're not the brightest family.

couldnt find the door out of the gym changing room tonight- i'd only gone for a look round as its been refurbished.

Absent mindedly peeled part of my thumbnail off when peeling carrots. It smarted a bit, bled a lot and I had to retrieve the section of nail from the vegetables before serving.
a week later and it’s feeling much better :-)

I remember a post here about a funeral where a poor mourner was supposed to throw flowers on the coffin as it went down but accidentally threw her handbag in. I presume there was a fuss retrieving it. I know it's awful but it makes me laugh and i have thought of it during funerals, I'm ashamed to say.

Punched the internal door as I whipped my jacket on this morning. I am
clumsy, clumsy is me.

the other night I was walking home in the (not forecast) rains colleague pulled up to give me a lift and I shook like some kind of human Labrador so I wouldn’t soak their car and there was a woman directly behind me with a pram I hadn’t heard.

It’s endless.

Turned everything upside down :(

I went to make myself coffee, came to lounge and sat to have a sip, to realise I haven’t made the coffee - just prepped the machine and the cup… A bit worrying as I’m catching myself doing daft things like that recently - things disappearing and me not sure if I’ve completed the task. Is it peri??

I love the thread though.
