    ....put my underwear on backwards this morning! I didn't bother taking off my pants and turning them around - I figure if I didn't notice until now, why bother? Boxers are more or less symmetrical anyway.

    So what's the dumbest thing you've done with a sleepy head on you? My long hours mean I've done all sorts of stupid ****. I used to cut the face off myself while shaving (changed to an electric razor). I've mixed up the coffee and the sugar and got really strong coffee and of course, left the house with mixed socks (at least they were both black).

    Lucky you don't wear thongs.

    A friend of mine arrived in a lecture in college after leaving the house with mixed shoes, due to sleepy and hungover dressing.

    I've done the sock thing as well, but it's a bit embarrassing when you go to work with one brown shoe and one black!!! I'm still reminded of that one at every office party and it's been over 6 years ago. :o

    Happened to me before. It was actually quite comfy at the front, but the buttons on the fly made sitting uncomfortable.

    On a couple of occasions while preparing breakfast I've put the cornflakes back in the fridge and the milk back in cupboard...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,513 ✭✭✭Sleipnir


    Something similar. I put sugar in the coffee jar, added boiling water and put it in the fridge.
    Then I went back to sleep.

  • Moderators, Regional East Moderators Posts: 21,504 Mod ✭✭✭✭Agent Smith


    many times i've put salt on my cornflakes,

    did the underware thing once, also


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,472 ✭✭✭AdMMM


    I did the underwear thing as well a few times, but I nearly always forget to do up my fly...

    After 10 minutes of walking, I am suddenly reminded by a gust of wind... and have to do it up while hoping no one notices :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 35,524 ✭✭✭✭Gordon


    Got up early for work, went to work, it was closed for the saturday.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 292 ✭✭spyro_2001ie


    I did the work thing too. except i was manager, so i was always in earlier than everyone else. Opened up the shop, no custumers for about half an hour, when a regular pops in and says i didn't know you were open on sundays. I replied "Sunday....F*ck" Hangover from saturday did'nt help either.

    One time i walked to work, after about 15 mins walking i realised i drive a car.

    Then there was the pizza i put in the oven, then went to sleep for another 2 and half hours, gets better woke did'nt notice the charred pizza, put in another, and when that was done, i went back to the oven and saw the charred pizza, i was like WTF?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,698 ✭✭✭✭BlitzKrieg


    2 events.


    1st event: Got little sleep as i had to travel to cambridge brought 2 bags with me. got to my university without problem left the taxi got to my room. It was 3 hours later when i coped on i left 1 of the bags in the taxi (had a video camera in it).

    2nd event: Same situation. All night net gaming went to get flight back to Uni. Arrived in dublin airport, *the plan was simple i am tired but i can walk through stansted with my eyes closed and i have no bags...no problem* checked in and got on the flight without really paying attention. Arrived in Gatwick because i didnt look at my ticket or anything. Had to try and get through london to cambridge being extremely sleepy. Scared alot of people with the drooling and the dropped jaw and the constant eye twitching. (but that happens normally)

    This morning i had pants with monkies on them in the changing room of the gym and I couldn't find my jeans (they'd fallen down the back of the locker) so i was rooting around the locker in my monkey pants when my bloody phone stating ringing in the pocket of the jeans with "Je T'aime" as the ringtone!! :rolleyes: :rolleyes: Then i noticed i was getting some funny looks off a bunch of oul-ones(they all do some class together)... :p Ahhh I feel better getting that out in the open!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 348 ✭✭Fuhrio

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,714 ✭✭✭✭Earthhorse

    I've done the cereal in the fridge so many times...
    I've fallen asleep on early morning buses and been woken up at Eden Quay by the bus driver telling me to get off.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,093 ✭✭✭woosaysdan


    a few minor things like putting pepper instead of salt on my chips, opening the vinegar without the sprinkler and poured half a bottle onto the chips!!! locked the keys in the car and spent two hours working


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,012 ✭✭✭munkeehaven

    Actually know of someone who happened to end up with a sweet paper and a twenty pound note in their pocket. they pulled out both, put the wrapper back in their pocket and threw the twenty into the fire.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,984 ✭✭✭✭Lump


    No, that's stupid.

    forgot to put in my contact lenses. Drove to the end of the road and realised I couldn't see anything. :eek:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 78,495 ✭✭✭✭Victor


    ....put my underwear on backwards this morning!
    I did that once. It's scary when your brain is only half working when you reach the bathroom, put your hand in your fly and realise something is missing. A primal urge from some deep down part of your brain screams "WHATS MISSING?!?"
