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!

Chucked a used mask in the bin.
Trouble is it was a fabric mask and I meant to put it in the washing machine.

I've done the opposite: took my monthly contact lenses out overnight to give the eyes a rest and wore my backup glasses for the evening before. The next morning, forgot all that, and fumbled around next morning grinding and making coffee before realising after about half an hour why I felt like a bat in an anechoic chamber.

I’ve done the glasses over contacts a few times.

When people come into my office to talk to me and I have readers over contacts, I always take them off to make better eye contact. I keep doing it out of habit when I’m wearing actual glasses, which has entirely the wrong effect.

I love Fetch - I’d never heard off an anechoic chamber - fascinating :-)

Or one I've recounted before...napping with the contacts in (not monthly ones), waking up and thinking my eyesight has 'fixed' itself by magic! (if only) ;)

Started to unload the dishwasher and was disappointed to see that the first item I picked up wasn’t cleaned properly. Then I realised, the dishwasher had dirty stuff in it and hadn’t yet been filled or turned on 🙄

About This Thread

Maintained by ChrisHB
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.
