First Tried to pay for my meal at a posh restaurant with my library card. Then got very huffity in my local bank branch because none of it’s self service machines would take my card. I was so annoyed one of their staff came bustling over and offered to look into it. Was very embarrassed as she explained my card was for another bank entirely and I realised I hadn’t baked with them for over a year… scurried out very pinkfaced

Previously I’ve managed to put clothes on back to front or inside out (or both) and not realised until its too late in the day to be bothered to do anything about it but this morning I put my watch on back to front (or is it upside down? brain hurts thinking about that) only realised when I looked at it and thought ‘it can’t be half three already’.

When I started working in my current office, I came out of the loo, walked to my desk, which meant walking a floor of about 170 people, only 5 of which were women, with my dress tucked into the back of my tights! It was my first week in the job and it caused a bit of a stir! 
I’ve been in this role for 4 years now, so I think I got away with it!
After a mega busy stressful week at work last week, I tried to open my front door at home with my work swipe pass, I tried it 3 times before realising!

That’s rather like when you read a real book after using your Kindle for a while and wonder why the paper pages don’t turn when you swipe them

Does anyone else start poking the laptop screen when you’ve been on your phone/tablet? It takes me a few goes before I realise I need the mouse! Haha!

I did something really silly today, feeling under the weather and not thinking straight at all I put my daughters down filled puffa jacket in the washing machine, it is now and empty quilted jacket with a few clumps of feathers in, she will be home in a minute and I will have to confess

Deborah - put it in the tumble dryer with a tennis ball or two or a trainer - the pounding should sort the feathers out - I did similar with a coat of mine and it came out fine. It can’t come out any worse so you have nothing to lose!

Thanks Roz will give that a try x
Some of your comments are so funny, i make stupid mistakrs quite often! Ive gone to put the kettle in the fridge several times this week! good job it doesnt fit! ha ha x
Oh no! I hope Roz’s trick works! My husband regularly adds to my wardrobe by shrinking his jumpers! He has finally learnt that some need to just be hung up! He also turned a work shirt of his blotchy pink when he washed it with a red towel!! Luckily I saved it with one of those colour remover sachets. There is now a label on the washing machine stating what should go together at what temp!!

Anyone else ever tried to brew tea with water fresh from the kettle that they’ve forgotten to boil?

Classic! I have even poured the cold water in the teapot before realising! And I have put the milk in there too. Just to justify my actions, I am the tea angel in the house, and get up before everyone else, and make them a rising brew. Sometimes I am still a tad sleepy, my eye aren’t quite open and my brain hasn’t rebooted!!

The ultimate irony - the time when you most need the awakening powers of caffeine you are unable to brew it properly.

I got a phone call at home today from someone wanting to arrange for a quote for having some fire alarms fitted!..I told him that he had phoned me at home and I’m on holiday…I couldn’t understand how he had got my home number…he said ‘This is the number that was given to me to call in the email I received from your company’. Doh!! I suddenly remembered that I replied to an email enquiry last week at work and I must have given him my home number instead of works. I felt so stupid…and apologised to him. I then gave him the right number!!

This happened a long time ago now but once I was collecting for charity and it had been raining and the ground was very wet. I walked down a drive and reached over to ring the doorbell as I stepped over onto the bit in front of the front door. Then, as I waited for someone to open the door, I felt myself sinking and realised, to my horror, that it wasn’t just wet because of the rain but that it was wet concrete. Then the door opened and I won’t tell you what the man said as I explained that I was collecting for charity, profoundly apologised for leaving my signature on his new path and pulled my feet out of his newly poured concrete. Needless to say he didn’t give me any money!

My sis in law was looking at a printed out photo in a frame and she put her fingers on the screen and moved them outwards because she was so used to looking at enlarged images on a mobile phone screen. We had a giggle.
