Share your daft moments

[polly]

I was happily cleanign my kitchen this morning when I got a stressed phone call from my staff at work saying the new machine wasn't working. The wire wouldn't stay in the machine and there was no way they could use it. SO Bruce and I rush down to the shop because they needed the machine after lunch, go to room have a look- They hadn't pushed the plug right in

Tracy (Flashy )and I were having a conversation this evening and she metioned that her hosepipe was leaking really badly today so she shouted her dad to go and turn the water to the whole house off

My other one is I used to have my washing machine in the kitchen and i could smell burning so I went through and there was smoke coming out of it mid spin cycle so i shouted for Bruce totally panicking because all my work uniforms were in it and he came into teh kitchen and said well switch it off at the wall you silly moo. I felt so stupid for not thinking of it



SO come on guys share the daftest things you have ever done :biggrin2:

LOL!

I've got to think... I'm constantly doing stupid things like that... my most common one is that when I make a cup of tea, I put the milk back in the cupboard and the sugar in the fridge! :?

I've also been known to pick up our house phone (cordless) instead of my mobile when leaving the house in a hurry...

Not really along the line of household stuff but today I sat in the midday sun for a good hour or 2, not 'realising' I was in the sun.. Red doesn't even begin to describe me!

Great thread idea!

I recently bought a toaster oven for our office along with some "freeze and bake" cookies to try it out and to surprise the employees; so I put the cookies in and waited.. and waited.. and waited.. my asst. came by and I told her - this thing sure takes along time; she commented - yeah, probably will unless you plug it in!

We had a good laugh..

I'm gonna go with answering the remote and getting ticked because the channels wouldn't change no matter how hard I pressed the buttons or how close I stood to the TV..it was the phone..

In my defense.. the top of both the phone and the remote is silver, and the bottom on both is black..



I am also dang near blind without contacts or glasses.. when I pull up the guide on the TV screen.. imagine my shock at the programming... Nancy Grease... (Nancy Grace) or the sci fi classic Testicles (tentacles)



Yeah..im blind..

I hope you don't mind a newbie chiming in to this topic but I couldn't help but laugh out loud when I read what you wrote about the televisionTV Guide.....I thought I was the only one that had that problem.

I have always wondered if they expect people to have their televisions setting right beside them so they can read such tiny print.

My daftest moment occured just yesterday when I stood up from my chair, (I was setting on one leg)caught my big toe in my capri pants and splattered all over the floor. As I attempted to regain composure instead of a cold wash cloth for my bumps I received cold noses stuck in my face. My ears should be clean for at least a week.

I'm such a clutz.

This evening my cat boss decided he wanted inside for the night for what ever reason

well i have to set up the litter box sence he is inside Well I was also in the motion of gving chevy dinner. Well i grab both and put the litter box in chevys chage and the food down for boss. My hubby looked and said what is wrong woth you. All bosses litter box is is a old pan that we have it is really small but he has used it sence we moved sence he is outside all the time anyway.

So i switched them and everyone was happy.

Oh and I have been known to grab the pet brush and start brushing my hair with it befor I even relize it.

I am SO glad I am not alone!

• one time I put the blowdryer in the pan cabinet and really threw a fit saying my hubby had hidden it from me (I was preggers - he can't hold it against me)
• I have tripped going down and UP the stairs. That's bad.

I could go on....

Hahah, great thread Polly it's full of laughs!

I have lots of daft moments, but the most recent was when I went ice skating for the first time. Had no problems at all on the ice but my feet were killing me. After half an hour I was agony and couldn't skate anymore. It was only when I took the skates off I realised I'd put them on the wrong feet!
:embarrassed:

Tons of daft moments, but no time to write...

I'll just share the one that I did this morning for now. Was in a hurry to get to work, and had stopped at Tim Horton's for a coffee. Went dashing out the door, but was wearing sunglasses and TH's doors are tinted rather dark, so I didn't see the person on the other side. WHAM!!! Smacked him full in the head with the door. Good thing he was in pretty good humor and laughed at my grovelled apologies, since he was an extra-large policeman...:shock:

Husbands know how to add insult to injury don't they? Door frames and my elbows don't get along either.
