    You just reminded me, I have done that also.

    Went out one day and thought my car was stolen and just as I was about to phone the Guards, I remembered I had brought it out the night before and it was in Drury St car park .. :rolleyes:

    I've put the sugar into the fridge more times than I can remember

    I reckon I'll just leave it there from now on, much easier

    I turned on a tap, held my hands where I thought there should be water, made the washing motions, then got really confused when my hands weren't wet. I could hear the water splashing in the sink, but my hands were dry. Odd...

    Someone had bent the fecking tap 90 degrees and it was soaking the wee shelf yok behind the taps. :mad:



    I also sometimes say 'ow' when inanimate objects fall or knock something in a way that would be painful if it were a person.

    I occasionally say 'Thankyou' to ATMs and 'sorry' for accidently kicking chairs with no one sitting on them. :o

    I remember one summer day being hungover and suffering from the heat, i was dying for a white Magnum, so i decided to walk 10 mins to the shop to get one. I get there and pay for it and walk outside.

    Outside standing next to the bin, i take off the wrapper and then I dumped the magnum into the bin and walked off with the wrapper still in my hand...I walked 100m down the road before realizing what i had done :o


    So any funny stories of when your brain switchs off (either hungover or tired) and you are on autopilot?
    Welcome to stonervile, Luckily I'm usually so stoned I don't remember doing half these things so my self confidence is still good.

    My dad has a thing about leaving the remote in odd places not realising: In the fridge, in his pocket going to work thinking it was his phone, in the tumble dryer.....etc....

    I was chatting to a mate for about fifteen minutes. He was tearing up what I assumed was a chewing gum wrapper into little shreds as we talked. Near the end of the conversation, I noticed the little iddy biddy pieces of paper in a pile on the ground. He looks down at the papers, "Ah bollix, my 50 euro, I was meant to buy milk and bread"

    I left my house a while ago on my way to town (I live ten minute walk from town). An hour later I realise I was went the opposite way and ended up in Blackrock!

    An hour into playing GTA 4 I realise I was originally meant to put in a Metallica DVD, not a game.

    Like another poster I've thrown something into the toilet bowl thinking it was the wash basket. I've also gone off looking for my glasses loads of times when I have been wearing them. It always makes me feel like a right ass when I notice them sitting on my nose! When I wear my contacts I always go to push up my glasses too.

    I have a habit of dropping things when I got a new idea into my head.

    Doesnt matter what I had in my hand, id just drop it on the ground and not realise it. I lost mmy keys in the garden and left 4 wallets andf two backpacks on the bus. I got most of them back.

    Even now ill drop my laser card on the ground when i have to pick up stuff at the till.

    Yep, putting something into the Oven without switching it on, fan ovens are a b*tch like that.

    Best was saying "make sure you take out the floppy dick!"*

    Some maybe too old for this reference.

    One time in primary school, when I was about six, I went to take out my yellow lunchbox only to find a tub of Utterly Butterly. Thanks, ma.

    Just two minutes ago I tried to thank a post but couldn't see the button. I was trying to figure out why I couldn't thank that post, then realised that I had posted it 5 minutes ago.

    My brother has, on more than one occasion, woken up really hungover and pi**ed into the laundry basket :D He'd kill me if he knew I tell this story :p

    I once put my socks in the laundry basket instead of leaving them on the floor for the missus to pick up. Hell knows why. I must be getting senile.

    It's all coming back now...

    I've left the house to go and play a fottball match and realised getting out of the car that I had the portable house phone instead of my mobile.

    I reckon this happens to a lot of people

    Stoned, years ago, tried to put the cornflakes in the fridge and my mother looking at me wondering what the fúck i was doing.

    Back in school, ran out onto the field for PE in my boxers. Forgot to put my shorts on.

    I heard of a guy doing his leaving cert, realised at the last minute he forgot his calculator, called his mother and she drove to the school and handed him the remote control for the television.

    When I'm writing an essay, for example, I spell out the words in my head as I write but sometimes I'll leave out the first letter of some words. When I go back to fix it, sometimes there isn't enough space between words to write in the forgotten letter :(:confused:




    *re-reads post*

    This has happened a million times......

    I have spent ages speaking to someone on my mobile and am in the middle of the conversation, just chatting about rubbish or whatever.

    Then i wonder what the time is. I don't wear a watch, i use my phone to tell them time. So i start looking for my phone in my pocket... it's not there... is it on the chair?... nope, not there..... WHERE THE HELL IS MY PHONE??

    It happened the other night. I said to my girlfriend "I can't find my phone" to which her reply was rapturous laughter. And i was asking "What's so funny? I can't find my bleedin phone!!"
