Nincompoopish/ditzy behaviour.

Borrowed my dads car keys the other day when he was in Tesco so that I could get clothes out of the car.
Drove off to Waterford with his car keys and no clothes... poor fella stranded in Tesco calling to see where I was!

Oh and today my brother called me to ask how much something was, so I pulled the receipt out of my purse and threw the fiver that came with it on the floor cuz I couldnt check the receipt and keep the fiver at the same time... then realised what I did a few minutes later!

Red Hand

Checking that something is switched off or locked and then forgetting immediately whether it is actually locked or switched off. Rinse and repeat several times.

One my mother happened to do.

Her car was covered in snow and she felt the best way to clear it was with a shovel. :rolleyes:

Scratched the whole thing up. (Idiot).

used to do this one a bit- concentrating on writing an essay in school when suddenly oh **** where's my pen? turn and start angrily asking everyone where's my pen and who took it, one min later i realise the pen is in my hand

Yesterday I did the shopping, paid for my parking ticket at the machine, went up to the car. NO TICKET. Emptied my wallet, pockets, even looked through the shopping. Then went back downstairs to the ticket machine to spot a nice couple putting my ticket on top of it. Sheepishly said "That's mine". The lady passed it to me. I just smiled and said "I'm a right fukking eejit" and away I went.

My other little peccadillo is when I go to leave a shop or restaurant and the sign on the door says PUSH my brain seems to see that as a challenge and I will invariably pull the door first. Every. Single. Time.

(I love the word 'peccadillo'!)

I've done so may of these things!

Once, while half way through a pizza, I decided it was too spicy, and took off all the jalapeno peppers. I then realized I was in a rush to go out, and ran upstairs, gave my hands a quick rinse(not nearly enough), and put in my contact lens with the same hand I removed the peppers with. It was like putting needles in my eyes.

Once, when I was 16 after two days no sleep and school, I groggily wandered over to my fridge, opened it, and came scarily close to urinating directly into it.

I've apologised to lampposts for bumping into them.

I almost try to say thanks to the driver when getting off the Luas, no matter what door I use. Luckily, I catch myself in time. Old habits...

Walking through shopping centers or into shops when its been raining outside with my umbrella still up, and then when I realize I continue & try act like its supposed to be that way, like I couldn't have been arsed taking it down, so I don't look silly.

Fixing the internet on our aging desktop computer, using my laptop to google the solutions.
Go to type something on the desktop, nothing comes up. After getting more and more frustrated with it I look down at my laptop screen and find a bunch of gibberish typed on it

I have a really annoying habit of taking car keys out of the ignition putting them in my suitcase like hand bag, getting out of the car and spending the next ten minutes rooting for the keys so I can lock the door. It drives me crazy but I can't seem to break the habit.:(

Was in wexford town a few weeks ago walking down the pedestrian road admiring myself in the shops windows and walked straight into one of those metal bollard things. It was exactly the same height as my crotch. Ouch, I was so embarrassed. But in the plus side I can now confirm that yes, I am dangerously good looking:)

That thing people do, where they're walking along and suddenly realise they're going in the wrong direction. Queue the over animated look of realisation, perhaps even a tut and a murmer before turning incase people think you're crazy for suddenly stopping and turning around.

Other variations are pulling out the mobile for a pretend text, make it look like someone else is to blame.

Ah yes.

Put the coffee jar in the freezer. Put t-shirt on inside out. I Knocked over a bunch of pens on a desk in specsavers and said' should have went to specsavers'. I don't wear glasss I was getting them for my daughter.

Made my self a cup of gravy instead of a cup of coffee.


Walked into a sigh post in town, don't know how I didn't see it, it was massive.

I've forgotten put oven gloves on and took out the hot tray with my hand - ouchies...


I number of times I've forgotten to lock the house, once I even left the door wide open and drove off. I arrived home and had no recollection of leaving the door open, got to the point I thought the house was haunted, but no it's me leaving the doors unlocked.

About 6 months ago and after only 3/4 beers, I was trying to light my cigarette for a while when my best friend here bursts out laughin.. Didn't even have a fag in my mouth.

jaffacakesyum

Pissing myself laughing at this thread!! I'm bad but not as funny as some of the stories on here

I do the old 'apologising to inanimate objects' thing too, which is probably the most embarrassing

I get my cats name and my sons name mixed up occasionally.

I was working on tills in a busy shop a couple years ago and liverpool we're playing chelsea, my mate text me when the pool went one up. Instead of shouting "Next Please" I shouted "One nil"
