I've more than once panicked that I've lost my car keys. Whilst driving.

Occasionally I find the milk in the cupboard and the cornflakes in the fridge.

What the hell is wrong with me.

Just went into the trap at work to answer a call of nature, dropped my trousers & pants, then stood there for about 10 seconds thinking "what did I come in here for".

I honestly couldn't think what I was doing there.
Don't worry too much OP, at least you remembered the 'H' in your user name...

^^^ Towel tale is excellent.


I handed the checkout girl (Waitrose, naturally) my Costa card yesterday. I only have two loyalty cards.

Sorry, I'm standing in the toilet with my trousers round my ankles, can't talk right now...

Early morning last winter. I was going to be late for work. Skipped my coffee and flakes routine, out the front door at just under forty miles an hour, hit the high street with scant regard for my surroundings. Something's amiss. With not a moment to lose I'm overtaking everything I can but what is wrong here? It fully dawns as I'm dealing with daydreaming rush-hour numpties on the big roundabout, the car! I've left the car on the drive..

A few weeks ago, I had the opposite experience whilst at work. I needed a pee, so quite sensibly headed off to the toilets. Now, as we're all aware, to perform this act it is necessary to unzip one's flies and 'present' the old fire-hose. So clearly, I knew what I wanted to do and the necessary steps I needed to take to achieve this. No issues there. The problem was, however, I was already engaging in the preparation phase whilst some twenty metres from the lavatories, in a fairly busy corridor. Fortunately, my brain rebooted a fraction of a second before commencing 'presentation'...

I once did that with my todger. The wife went mad when she found it. Then, to cap it all, I cross threaded it when I put it back on.

Bad day, that was.

I've done that leaving work. A beautiful, sunny afternoon and I just set off at a leisurely pace on foot.
I got home and had a panic thinking my car had been stolen.

Then I realised it was still at work....

Had to take something quite heavy to a friend's house once, only a couple of roads over but it warranted taking the car to carry it. Stayed for a bit, watched the F1, walked home. Needed to go out later and ended up stood on the driveway for a few minutes wondering where on earth the car was.

Of course I'd left it parked in my friend's road hehe

I pulled up at work the other morning after hooning it there thinking I was late. I wasn't late at all, I'd just gone to my previous employers.

In the same way, phoning someone you deal with currently and dialling the number for someone you haven't worked with for years!
This probably doesn't work for younger people because they save numbers on the phone and just click the name. People now aren't used to memorising numbers and dialling them.

I still do that too. I do remember phone numbers very easily though.

One birthday of mine, I'd forgotten the fact until I got home from work that evening, nearly missed it completely.
