    This reminds me of one time in school when I was doing some sort of a catch and kick competition, and in an attempt to stop the ball hitting the ground I dove to catch it, right into a big patch of nettles. I managed to hold onto the ball though :pac:

    Speaking of butter, a few weeks ago after making a sandwich, I put the tub of butter in the sink and the knife I'd used in the fridge. I didn't realise for ages until my mam shouts up at me, "Why did you put the butter in the sink?!" :p

    Ha, don't know how many times I've done that. I was getting tea in work and threw it in the bin by accident :P

    There was also a day there a few weeks back where I walked around for the entire day with my jumper on backwards. I felt like a right eejit when I realised. :pac:

    Earlier tonight, I went looking for my phone- while being on the phone.

    On Friday evening, I took out the toaster and plugged it in so I could iron my trousers, I didn't realise what I had done until I came back down to the kitchen with my trousers

    back home my room had a toilet and that's where I kept my washing basket, it was just in under the sink. one night, I came along and instead of turning left to put my socks in the washing basket, I turned right and dropped them into the toilet. :o never felt such a wally.

    Or wandering around the house looking for my glasses and they were on my head.

    Irons shirts- dumps on chair after ironing- looks at shirts- can't decide if ironed already- irons again. :o

    A friend told me she was going to make spaghetti bolognese and I asked, "Are you going to use the long pasta?" Her response, "You mean...spaghetti...?" *face palm*

    Haha I do this too, if ironing jeans or trousers I can't even remember back to a second ago which leg/side I ironed and usually just iron them again! :o:D

    Or if washing 2/3 loads of clothes together, *queue the whole floor full of clothes* so much for manageable piles! I'd nearly take out one load out of the machine and looking around the place in total confusion that I've caused, end up putting the same bundle back in again until I realize what I'm at! :rolleyes:

    Oh! I just remembered a really good one! It was a fair few years ago at this stage. I was walking to school, I felt a bit uncomfortable, I couldn't put my finger on why though, until I arrived at school, it hit me, I FORGOT TO PUT ON UNDERWEAR! How does one forget that?! I had to race back home to get some! After all these years I'm still amazed by that one myself. :pac:

    when i was about 15 i got a job in a supermarket, one day the manager asked me to put a certain brand of tea into the dump.
    my mother had always said that this particular brand of tea was terrible, so i thought he meant throw this pallet of tea into the skip.
    this i did with gusto tearing up the packets and making sure i destroyed the lot.
    about an hour later the manager asked me where is the tea, i asked you to put in the dump, so i said its in the skip.
    he started to scratch his head furiously, and said "you put it where".
    so i repeated it again, so i decided to show him, when he saw what i did, and it started to dawn on me maybe i made a mistake, i thought i'm sacked for sure.
    but no he didn't sack me, he just walked off scratching his head again, to this day i cringe with embarrassment.
    the dump he meant was a set of bins at the front of the shop for special offers.

    LOL. I'd probably have done the same back in the day. I don't think any company could sack you for carrying out those orders- you certainly did it with gusto :D

    Got one of those debobbler things that shaves the bobbles off your clothes and jumpers. Was sitting running it over a pair of gloves for about ten minutes till i got to a patch that wouldnt come off. Turns out the cap was still on it and i was just pressing the stuff down :/ Felt like a right spare biscuit

    Out at home for dinner. Quick trip to the bathroom to have a pee and give the hands a good scrub before sitting down to the meal.

    Deep in thought about whatever is going through my mind at the time, I suddenly realise that I am inexplicably brushing my teeth. I don't even have a toothbrush in my home house anymore. :eek:
