Velociraptor Jul 2019 2:09pm, 31 Jul 2019 42,539 posts	0 Velociraptor Yesterday I was examining a young patient who was a bit nervous, and locked the door to make sure they knew nobody could blunder into the room. I forgot to unlock it. On the way out, the patient's mother tried the door, found it locked, and tried to unlock it using the light switch on the wall.

mulbs Aug 2019 4:59pm, 1 Aug 2019 13,482 posts	0 mulbs spent a few minutes looking for a hair thingy to put my hair up off my neck. Failed and forgot about it. Ten minutes later run my hand through my hair and remember I'd temporarily clipped it on top of my head so as not to lose it

Cursing and moaning after 5 to 10 minutes that it wasn't working after it was working the other day and perhaps I'll have to get it seen to. Decided to turn it off and open the windows instead, when I realised I'd turned on the rear screen heater.

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.
