Rosehip Jan 2021 8:02am, 7 Jan 2021 19,174 posts	0 Rosehip and I've done similar on the A1, heading to mum's a couple of weeks ago, I must have been wishing I was going further north and forgot to turn off at Peterborough.
mulbs Jan 2021 9:03am, 7 Jan 2021 13,920 posts	0 mulbs I've turned up to work twice in slippers (with pompoms) in the days when I didn't work from home, and once in odd shoes
Eynsham Red Jan 2021 10:48am, 7 Jan 2021 7,031 posts	0 Eynsham Red I’ve nearly driven off to work in my slippers but always realised in time. My saving grace if one day I don’t remember, I always change into boots when I arrive at work.
alpenrose Jan 2021 10:59am, 7 Jan 2021 48,487 posts	0 alpenrose I always do a double take when I see women walking around in those furry slip-ons, I always think they've gone out in their slippers. (I used to wear slippers lie that many moons ago)
jabberknit Jan 2021 11:03am, 7 Jan 2021 3,816 posts	0 jabberknit I've done the odd shoe wearing thing several times. In my defence I had 2 pairs almost identical except in colour, one pair black, one dark blue. No-one noticed.
Winniefree Jan 2021 11:29am, 7 Jan 2021 1,919 posts	0 Winniefree I once turned up in a hotel bar at a formal christening celebration still wearing my slippers.
Diogenes Jan 2021 1:08pm, 7 Jan 2021 56,411 posts	0 Diogenes One of the best thing about short-term memory loss is I have no idea what is in my sandwiches today, even though I made them.
JustCommando! Jan 2021 1:31pm, 7 Jan 2021 3,996 posts	0 JustCommando! Turning up to work in slippers is now normal behaviour... I completely forgot to update my online grocery order this morning, so what I collect from the shop in the order tomorrow will be what I bunged in the basket to reserve the slot. We will be eating mostly fresh soup for the next week...
Wine Legs Jan 2021 1:37pm, 7 Jan 2021 5,714 posts	0 Wine Legs [I always laugh at people who wear sheepskin boot things as outdoor footwear...in my mind they will ALWAYS be slippers...this has the added advantage, that if I did go out in my slippers, it's unlikely anyone would bat an eyelid as they're sheepskin boots.]

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.
