Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Hubby's used to living in a small town...he leaves the doors open all the time here too. Sometimes he's somewhere around but I worry about some opportunist thief coming in and stealing things. My stepmother leaves her house unlocked when she's home and only locks it overnight...even then she sometimes forgets to do that. One morning, I got up, brought the paper in and realised the door had been open all night!

We leave our back door open all night for the cat - his senior moment is his refusal to remember that he has a catflap (more likely he's just decided he doesn't like it).

I do lock the doors, but my default assumption is that I’m the scariest thing in the neighbourhood.

Just stood outside my front door trying to lock it by pressing the lock button on my car key.

LOL! When we were on holiday in Canada, I kept forgetting the rental car's key had to be in the ignition to start the car! (our car has a button to press to start it).

Taking my 'running bag' to work with me so I can do a run (heart rate strap, shorts, shirt, etc). Forgetting the most important thing, the running shoes!

Going to any particular room for a reason, getting there, and then forgetting why I was going to that room. (There's a study that shows going through a doorway has this affect, in familiar and unfamiliar rooms.)

Going from the upstairs, where the washing machine is, to the downstairs with the basket, then realising I hadn't put the washing into the basket to take with me.

Going to the car and realising that I don't have the car key on me.

The list goes on... but I forget the rest.

Buttering a slice of bread on a blue chopping board, glimpsed a blue spot in the bread, thought "argh, mould", realised there was a hole in the bread. Put some more butter on the knife and then had exactly the same reaction again!

This morning I went to charge my kindle and instead found myself trying to charge my coffee mug. It was my third coffee of the day as well, clearly not strong enough!

=============

I was just drying my hair after a shower, I switched the hairdryer on and suddenly the bedroom was plunged into darkness, the hairdryer wasn't working either. Great, the electrics have just tripped out.

I find a torch, go to the fuse box but nothing has tripped - turns out I pressed the light switch instead of the hairdryer 'on' button.
