I almost left £30 quid in a cashpoint the other day... Was putting my card back in my wallet, then remembered. I've never moved so fast in all my life.
Several times I've put the kettle on for a coffee, gone back when its boiled, pour the water in the mug, then realize I've only put sugar in and no coffee. :doh:
I've done a similar thing, except this time it was with a filter machine. I emptied the filter, put water in the tank, put the jug under the filter holder and switched it on. Came back when it had run through to see a pot of hot water as I'd forgotten to put fresh coffee in the filter...
:doh:
I have returned home twice, only to find that my door key is still on the shelf.
So had to go fins her indoors to get her key.
After getting to her I remember that in case of an emergency I have a second key in a different pocket. :doh:
This thread should be re-named....."blondeslave's Life story".... so here's just a few of them....
1. Spent 2 hours cleaning the cooker before I realised I was trying to clean it with Comfort fabric conditioner
2. Once cleaned my teeth with hair gel
3. Accused everyone in the house of moving my mobile phone............ till I rang it and discovered it in my coat pocket
4. Took my new diesel car back to the garage to complain that it was jogging........... and was told it was jogging coz I had filled it with petrol not diesel
5. My ex-husband used to play semipro cricket....... he was going on a tour in India and had been issued with new club whites.... he asked me to wash them b4 he went........ I washed them, but somehow a red hand towel got in the wash... they came out of the washer a very pretty shade of pink............ I didnt know how to tell him ............. so I ironed them and packed them and hoped he wouldnt notice.......... he flew off to india
2 days later a very Irate hubby rang to say he had played in them !!!!! no choice coz thats all I packed.........lol................ we are now divorced.
6. Was on holiday in France......... driving thru Paris and was cut up 4 times by these stupid people in a little fiat thingy............. everytime they cut me up they waved at me......... i was furious..... they pulled into a parking space ................ so I stopped got out of my car walked up to their car...................... knocked on the window and when the woman opened it I slapped her...............................Unfortunately.................. I slapped her b4 I realised that she was the passenger and not the driver.......... it was a french car so the driver was on the left of the car not the right....
the gas board out coz my shower didnt work............ they couldnt fix it coz its an electric shower...... but I thought they should have fixed it coz its a gas boiler......... so locked the engineer in the house and wouldnt let him out................ until the gas board rang me to explain why he couldnt fix it.....
8. My partner is a web designer and he installed my PC and spent a few hours fiddling with it one day. The following day he went home............ the next day I was on line in the SH chatroom............. I asked him what the liitle green TV thing was in the corner........... he replied....... its your permanent cam........ I can see you..... wave at me................. then everyone else in the room said hi Sam.... you look good this am..... or looks sunny up there..... etc etc....... I was so convinced that people could see me......... I logged out and stuck paper all over the screen so they couldnt see me...I did not go back on for 3 days.... until about 20 people had emailed me to asure me they couldnt see me.........
car ran out of water in the window wipers....... so being clever... thought I would fill it myself..... opened the front thingy.... (boot/bonet...whatever it is).... found the bottle with the merc sign on and filled it with water...... got in the car and started to drive home.......... about 40 miles up the road the car stopped going round corners like it had been doing...... so stopped and rang the RAC........... the man turned up and had hysterics when I told him where I had put the water....... apparently it was in the power steering fluid....... thats why it had a picture of a steering wheel on it........ not a merc sign at all.......
cook... but thought I would try and impress my ex-hubby.... so got the recipe for chilli con carne and started to cook...........it called for a garlic glove or bulb (cant remember)..... but I live in a village and couldnt get one...... so I bought a jar of garlic salt........... and added all of it to the mince................. it was disgusting................. but he ate it all........ yuk yuk yuk.
I have a million more things like this that I have done.......... If you dont believe me ask Wishmaster he will confirm that I am totally and utterly useless in day to day life.............
i wouldnt recomend creating a lovey fest and while chopping jalapino chillis and scratching your eye when you get an itch ..it will create a warm then hot sensation causing the eye to weap and spoiling you lunch like mine yesterday
Once I wanted to wipe some eccess gas from the burning thingy used to heat a fondue pot using a kitchen towel... but kinda forgot that the flame was still burning... towel+gas+flame = TRiNiTORCH :twisted:
oh, I tend to forget that I'm a shy person and ppl end up knowming more about me than I know myself :shock:
I am the original glorious disaster, so coming up with a number of responses is easy. The most recent is nipping out to the shops in my slobby clothes, stepping out into the pouring rain, thinking to myself 'I don't have my keys' and then, just SHUTTINGthe door behind me.
Mentally kicking myself, while standing in the rain and then just booting the door in.
I always manage to forget when I put the clock forwards and back and arrive either an hour early or an hour late for work twice a year..... :confused:
What was the thread again? ... what am I typing?
I was always losing my keys - most creative place I've found them so far is in the fridge.
On a business trip, doing a lecture and my car was in someone's way, so I tossed him my keys to move it. Later, tired and driving home, I suddenly remembered P had my keys. Turned round and headed back. Almost there when I realised that if P had my keys I could not be driving my car.
