How about spending 30 minutes looking for your sunglasses and they are hanging from the neck of your shirt!

It's Official. I Am A Blooming Idiot.

Mine were inside my neon green glasses holder, on my key chain, sticking out of my pocket in plain sight. I was convinced that I had left them, keys and all, somewhere in the store. I didn't just spend 30 minutes looking for them, I had total strangers helping me to look for them, until one of them said "Neon green? You mean like that?"How about spending 30 minutes looking for your sunglasses and they are hanging from the neck of your shirt!
"I meant to do that." Still not sure why, but I must have meant to do that.

I make coffee every morning. Yesterday I started the coffee machine and left the kitchen. Forgot the carafe. Well, the counter needed a good cleaning anyway!
It's good to know that others do things that we thought were exclusive to the Blooming idiot Club! Maybe we're not so strange.....

LOL. hahaha!
The other day my husband also left his phone. Somebody called him. I answered. Then I told the caller my husband was not around but he could call a number.
I gave the caller the same number.
The phone rang again. Same caller. I answered.
Then both of us got confused.

I bet that caller thought he REALLY had the wrong number! LOL!

I have been absent-minded since my childhood and I'm proud of it !!!
Some regular "mistakes" I make :
- Putting a plate with food in the fridge instead of putting it in the microwave (and vice versa).
- Taking my work badge when I want to open the front door of my house and taking my house keys to enter the office building (it happens at least once a month)
- baking hamburgers without removing the cellophane discs
Last winter I put one of the eggs that I collected from the chicken coop in the pocket of my leather jacket. I forgot about it, until I put my hand in my pocket the next day...
It ruined my favourite jacket

Oh, that pesky "reply all button" has gotten me in trouble. Once a few choice words went to one of the attorneys I worked for and I was holding my breath but he didn't catch it.

No, I couldn't. We don't have the passwords for each other's phones.Um, you have his phone. You can delete the text.

It was OK. He got a large charge out of it. I blamed The Beast. He said he figured Mollipop did it. We had a good laugh.
This morning, once he got to work, I got a text: Dear, I have my phone. Just so you know.
He's a snot.
It's always the dog's fault. That's what Lilith and Sophie always went with.

Dear Richard asked me how much gas I had in the Tucson; he wanted to take it bowling last night. I gave him a $20 and said, "Not much. If you're going to take it to bowl, please put gas in it on your way home."
He got home last night and said, "Dear? I don't know what you consider 'not much', but there's well over 200 miles yet on that tank of gas." And then I remembered that I had stopped for gas earlier this week.
I'm starting to scare myself. (At least he gave me my $20 back.)

If it makes you feel any better: I have been known to look for my phone when it was in my hand.
I agree - mess with his head!
Old thread but here goes: When I was in my 20s I couldn't find a bottle opener and so intelligent me decided to poke a hole in the cap with a steak knife. Needless to say, the bottle slipped and the blade of the knife went into that webbed area between the thumb and index finger. 40 years later and I still have a scar from that.
Ironically I never felt pain from that. It just bled a lot. Pretty embarrassing too.

Oh yes, when email was new, a lot of us hit that Reply All button with lots of embarrassing results.
