I am a twat, I am a twat

[differentID]

yes, please all come and point at this twat in the corner!

My dh has just come in from work and noticed the iron was on.

I didn't unplug it after using it this morning before 8am, and didn't even realise though I have been home for 2 hours!

Can anyone beat that or just come and point and laugh at me please?

Has anyone left a cake out in the rain?

Left the oven on after taking the pizza out at about 7pm, went out, got back at about 2am to a very warm house. Then managed to turn the oven off but lean on one of the other gas ring knobs and leave the gas seeping out all night Luckily none of us smoked cause if someone had lit up a post-big-nite-out fag I think the whole place would've gone up!

[Doodlez]

Jeez, I wouldn't like to live in a block of flats with you lot!

I once got myself locked IN the house

Dh couldn't find his car keys, I said don't worry take mine, i'll find yours before I go to work.

I had put his car keys in the glove compartment of his car the day before, which he then drove off with after locking the front door behind him.

After I'd realised, I had to ring work and tell them why I coudln't come in that morning.

T-W-A-T

I have left the car key in the passenger door of my car ALL NIGHT. Didn't even realise it was there next morning - actually found spare key (thinking main key was temporarily mislaid in house) and drove off. Halfway down dual carriageway I thought "what's that knocking?" It then dawned on me it was my VW key ring, banging repeatedly against the paintwork. .

Now I have a key with a little electronic button to open the doors.

When DD was tiny, I put her birth certificate in a big pile of papers. In my sleep deprived state, I binned the papers, forgetting about birth certificate.
I also walked into the men's changing rooms in New Look today, and had to be shepherded out by a kindly sales man.
I am not fit to have a child most days.

I left the gas hob on for 24 hours recently.... I also recently put a cheque in the recycling.

Has anyone left a cake out in the rain?

No but I left the camera on DS slide after taking piccies and left it out there for few days. Didnt realise until I wanted it for sports day

Of course this was July when it pee'd it down

[SixtyFootDoll]

Ive done a full supermarket shop at least half a dozen times only to find I hve left my purse at home when I get to the till

[MrsChemist]

I left a pan of milk on the hob for about 5 hours.
When I was a student I left my bedroom window open and went home for Christmas. Nothing was stolen (a miracle in South Manchester) but it was so sodding cold I could see my breath and it took a few days to heat up properly.

I am so glad I'm not the only feather-head around.

This thread is the reason I don't have a gas cooker.

[oldraver]

We have had quite a few water cut-offs. the last one happened while we were getting ready for school, water was there while I got breakfast but had gone off when we went to get a showered. DS kept fiddling with the taps, saying there were broken and I kept turning them off, he would fiddle again. Upshot was I turned them to what I thought was off. DS went to school I went to work (at neighbours so knew water was still off

The water came back on while I was picking DS up. and we came home to a flooded bathroom and kitchen

[VulpusinaWilfsuit]

Brilliant thread.

And especial praise for monkeygirl69

But no. I am not a twat. Oh. Apart from the usual oven on all day incidents.

That, and my 'a bird has been in the house' fiasco caused by my leaving two large upstairs windows open WHILE I WENT ON HOLIDAY...

[deepdarkwood]

Have gone out leaving front door wide open three times. Included one time when next door neighbours popped over to see if we were in, & front room was SO chaotic they thought we'd been burgled

Locked myself out of my own house and in advanced state of panic - late for a meeting) went & knocked on next door neighbour's door, demanding they help me climb over back fence and break in. They pushed front door and it opened

Regularly leave keys in front door.

Have straightener shaped burn-marks on the bedroom carpet.

Have burnt out an iron by leaving it on for long periods so often.

Occasionally leave my head in Tescos...

I went shopping for three hours the other day, when I came back to the car, I couldn't find the keys any where.
I emptied all the bags, buggy, pockets and then noticed the car wasn't locked, the key was still in the ignision!!
I have also locked myself in the house and forgotten my purse at the supermarket on more than one occassion.
My latest 'twat moment' was standing at the back door, wondering why on earth it wouldn't open. Then I realise I was stood pointing and pressing the key fob for the car at the house door!!!

Eddad, I have hundreds of them, my ds says he's going to write a book, he thinks I'm great entertainment!
Another recent one.
Early morning not yet fully dressed (only had bra on top half) was putting the sterlizer on (in preperation for becoming the milking cow!),
forgetting it was on and lending over it to reach into the cupboard.
= rather large boob rested over the vent hole of the afore mentioned sterlizer.
Took a few seconds to realise boob was resting on vent hole and that the scalding hot steam had no where to escape to.
= vent hole shape burn to underside of boob and no pumping on that side for a while!!

In a previous MN name I blogged about my excursions with pan cleaning. I had burned a pan dry forgetting about it on my hob.

Some helpful MNer suggested Coke. They didn't factor in my ability to Do Exactly The Same Thing all over again

I never knew the chemical pestilence that emerged from burnt Coke. And the interesting crispy asphalt effect when you burn it to a cake texture.

Monkeygirl I hope not, because they'll never have that recipe again..
