Have you ever absentmindedly done something silly?

[Pauline]

As the title says, have you ever done something silly while your mind was away with the fairies? :D

I'll admit to mine...........

I once went into the bedroom to get changed and was so busy thinking about something else, the next thing I knew I was getting into bed - trouble is it was 2 o'clock in the afternoon! :laughing::laughing:

[FussyElmo]

I put seal and heal on my ulcer thinking it was bonjela :rolleyes:

[Ripeberry]

I've been known to put the milk in the cupboard and not the fridge :o

[manjay]

Just yesterday I drove off in the car and realised that it was my puschair I could see in the rear view mirror. I had put the child in the car so I guess it could have been worse:rolleyes:

[rickysmiths]

When I was 16 I heard my Dad get up so I got up in my school uniform and when I opened my bedroom door to go downstairs my parents were just coming to bed. :laughing: :laughing: It was only 11pm. :panic:

[Twinkles]

Actually I have sometimes found myself in the supermarket car park when I was supposed to be visiting my mum :blush:

[Mouse]

Turned the tumble drier on with the cat inside :eek:

Luckily I didn't leave the room & quickly realised what the strange sound was!

[charleyfarley]

Went to Tescos a few weeks ago, then popped straight into Cheadle so was gone a few hours. Then I noticed my front door key swinging in the lock as I pulled onto the drive :eek: :blush:

Luckily I'd set the alarm when I left :thumbsup:

Oooh and this week I've sent Blaze the wrong book, while the one she wants is still sat in my pile of paperwork :D

[funemnx]

Parked at the school, put lo in the pushchair, collected and got back to the car to find engine running doors open....... Doh! :D

[Toothfairy]

On the way to the Hospital to pick up my Dad's death certificate and belongings the day after he died, I pulled in to get some petrol.

I wasn't thinking straight and put petrol in my diesel car :(

I remembered NOT to turn the engine on and rang the breakdown people, when the chap arrived the winch on his truck had broken so he DROVE my car up onto the back of the breakdown truck.:mad:

[Toothfairy]

........ooooooh I forget to say,

last week I had the day off and was going to take my Mum Christmas shopping.

I got 2/3rds of the way to her house when I remembered my DD was still in the back of the car. I had forgotten to drop her off at school on the way :eek: :D

[berkschick]

I was babysitting a few weeks ago. The lady pointed to the top of the bread bin where the kettle was, it was one of those old fashioned shaped ones. Anyway, I fancied a coffee so popped the kettle on the gas stove thing and went to the fridge to find the milk and turned round to see the kettle on fire!

In my defense, the kettle was not on its electric stand thing! I have never been so cross with myself!

[kindredspirits]

I have a new 9 month old mindee - mum said under no circumstances to give him pork (for religious reasons I think.) She supplies his lunch but he's fighting being spoonfed at the minute - so i gave him a bit of my ham sandwhich.... :eek: luckily i realised before he'd got it to his mouth and managed to rescue it but he was not a happy bunny having food snatched from his fingers..... I was in my defense trying to spoonfeed 3 children at one time. :blush:

[babs]

ill think about me for a while :rolleyes: :rolleyes: but my mum threw alarm clock in the deep fat fryer instead of chips ... set the pan on fire and i hid under the stairs under old fashioned hairdryer like the ones you sit under in hairdressers i was there for 3 hours and noone could find me till mum came under stairs for something lucky dad put the fire out .... i was 3

[SaijaM]

... can I even say this in here.... not sure... !

Well, once upon a time I was 'slightly' merry and walked to the wardrobe thinking it's a toilet.... !! :eek:

Glad my brother pulled me out before any accidents happened :blush:

I'm sure I've lost all my 'virtual' dignity now.

[Happy Bunny]

Don't know if this would be classed as absentminded but

I once did a well silly thing i was kicking the washing down the stairs and not thinking decided to climb over the stairgate.

Result was slipping a hurting between my legs

Becoming the topic of conversation around A&E and the laughing stock of the gyno ward.

And walking like John Wayne for 2 weeks

[Alibali]

I was out at childminding group when one of the other cm got a phone call, she had just dropped her car off at the garage. She wasn't working that day because of car. They asked her if she'd forgotten something, and lo and behold she had left her son strapped into his car seat:blush: . She was in the mind of not working so forgot she was meant to have children with her:laughing: :laughing: :laughing:

[maryp0ppins]

When I first got with hubby 14 years ago we were sat on different chairs watching TV & he said 'chuck the remote over' he wanted to change channels.

Well I was eating a pot of trifle at the time & threw that across the room by mistake......

Lets just say MESS was an under statement.....But we did laugh our heads off at my stupidity :blush: :blush:

[mrs_scottydog]

I often try and put the coffee or bread in the fridge. Hx

[jelly15]

DH dropped me outside Chinese takeaway for me to run in and collect our order while he stayed in car with engine running. I ran back to car with the takeaway, it was raining, I jumped into the front passenger seat and did up my seat belt. Was begining to wonder why DH wasn't driving off when a strange voice said, "Can I help you?" While I had been in the Chinese some bloke with the same model and colour car had parked in front of DH.

I got out faster than I got in. DH in fits as he has watched it happen :blush: .

[claire'scherubs]

I could take over this post with all the stupid things I have done......strangely more have happened since I became a childminder:o

[coffee-time]

[DAWN44]

I went to drive thru mcdonalds with a friend. Ordered food at first window, paid, so busy talking drove straight out of car park. Got up road my friend said " wheres the food" . Had to go back really red faced and ask for our order.:blush:

[jacey]

Put apple juice in a cup of tea instead of milk ---in my defence they were both in the same style of carton, however have made this slip up more than once:blush:

I've poured orange juice over my cereal.

The worse one is in the past I've put my child in the baby carseat out of the sling and fastened the car seat in but completely forgot to do up the 5 point harness :eek:

I'm always doing daft things and put it down to tiredness and too much on my mind

[Bear23]

Most recent one for me was trying to get into the wrong room at the ncma conference. I had forgotton my voting papers and was rushing - Manjay told me room number but in space of ten seconds I forgot it :rolleyes:

I was so convinced I was at the right door that I got one of the cleaners to let me in - to find that it was wrong room. Thank goodness there was no -one there :blush:

A few years ago I sent an email from work to Pauline moaning that I would be late for tea because I was overloaded with work, unfortunately I sent it to my boss instead, luckily he saw the funny side, I'm just glad I hadn't said anything bad about him. :o

A few years ago, I got up in the morning, kids to childminder and popped off to work. Only to find the gates locked. Walked around to the front of the building where there are no gates, to find the front area where the security guard stands in darkness. I thought that with the gates locked and the front area in darkness that perhaps the security guard was sick or something. The door is secured by a pin code. I entered the pin code, opened the door and the alarms started going off. I don't have the pin code for the alarm system and had to wait for the security to show up. Yep. I'd gone to work on a public holiday when the entire place was shut and triggered the alarm the moment the door was opened. The security man was less than impressed that my actions had woken him out of his bed on a public holiday when he had planned a lie-in. Oops. :blush:

In a haze of sleeplessness when my dear daughter was a baby I once washed up a crisp packet that had been left on a lunch plate, I did it really well though scrunching up the dishcloth to get into the corners, Hubby stood watching me and only pointed it out when I laid it carefully onto a peak on the drainer to dry! It was 16yrs ago and he still brings it up at dinner parties and social gatherings!!
