Oscar the Grouch Feb 2021 12:22pm, 13 Feb 2021 2,654 posts	0 Oscar the Grouch I once turned a drill on with the drill bit (correctly mounted) still in my hand. That was on the scary stupid continuum.

cerid Feb 2021 6:51pm, 13 Feb 2021 487 posts	0 cerid I have a habit of touching the grill to check if it is hot. Similar lack of thought process to Oscar, I imagine…

WtnMel Feb 2021 6:05pm, 14 Feb 2021 2,025 posts	0 WtnMel I served up our ready-meal at lunchtime (linguini and meatballs) thinking there wasn't as much on the plate as I was expecting. Then I wandered back to the kitchen to fetch the cauliflower cheese I'd cooked to accompany it.
WtnMel Feb 2021 12:05pm, 15 Feb 2021 2,028 posts	0 WtnMel Remarked to Mrs WM that my u3a magazine had arrived but her copy hadn't .. oh yes it has, she replied. Checked again and I had picked up two copies from the doormat. In my defence, they were stuck close together. There's no hope ..
Bazoaxe Feb 2021 8:37pm, 18 Feb 2021 18,979 posts	0 Bazoaxe Yesterday Mrs Axe swapped the way the soap and handcream dispenser were arranged. Washing my hands with handcream could be excused. However what isnt excusable is making the same mistake later on I have now put them back in their rightful places

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.
