A moment of madness...

[Ladymuck]

I've just spent the last minute trying to unlock the car door...with the TV remote! Anyone else suffer similar lapses in mental aptitude?

[KalamityKel]

erm... no can't say I have :p

[brum]

Very funny LM! I once mistakenly applied verruca gel to my chapped lips, thinking it was lipsol! Ouch!

[Kells]

Ouch indeed! Trying to get through the ticket barriers with a Barclays connect card. And then getting annoyed when it doesn't work.

[Polly D]

Sometimes I walk up to the front door and zap the car keys at it expecting it to open.

[womanofdulwich]

i think this is very excusable if you are pregnant. are you?

[brum]

No WoD. At least not the last time I looked! ;-)

My sis double-checked that she had her mobile before leaving the house the other day.

An hour later, she went to make a call and realised that she had her cordless house phone with her... The mobile was sitting by the charging cradle. Doh!

[hellosailor]

Several times I have wandered round my house chatting on my mobile to a friend while simultaneously frantically looking for my mobile, once going so far as to explain to the friend I was talking to that I couldn't find my mobile. She was kind enough to point out that in order to be speaking to her it was presumably held to my face.

frequently try to swipe barclaycard at oyster points, but assume (or hope) that most people do that sometimes.

once handed over a tampax to a shopkeeper instead of a fiver when I was buying cigarettes.

[womanofdulwich]

i have done the mobile phone search so many times now!!madness.

[sophiesofa]

I've tried on more than one occasion to get through the ticket barriers with my bunch of keys. Who want's to be perfect anyway - I find myself quite entertaining at moments like these.

I agree - but I'm not - so no excuse then.:(

Blimey, I have nothing to worry about then...you pregnant?;-)

[SteveT]

My sister wanted to call her offspring and asked to use the phone, "help your self" said I, then she said "I cannot get a dial tone", she was trying to dial on the tv remote.

[Ladymuck]

Hee hee SteveT...I've done that too...I just cannot be bothered to put on my glasses...

[SteveT]

She was wearing hers at the time, which was a little worrying LadyM.

Oh dear! How funny though!!!

Ah - now I'm an expert on this;

- Dialling '9' to get an outside line on our home phone

- Using my work's ID card for the tube/bus (and my Oyster card to get into work)

- Also on my first night at my boyfriend (now husband)'s house I mistook Dettol for mouthwash. That one took a long time to overcome!!!

I haven't managed to leave our baby on the car roof yet (ala National Lampoon vacation) but that's probably as I cannot reach the roof of our car.

Health visitor, anyone?

[Bellenden Belle]

I managed to spend half a day on Friday with two pairs of contacts in. I assumed I was simply going blind.

[ryedalema]

Ah yes, and I also locked my car keys inside my car and went to throw a brick through the window so I could get them back. I forgot to let go of the brick (and have a scar on the back of my hand as evidence of my genius!).

I'm such a catch!

[Huguenot]

That's hardcore!! :))

[KidKruger]

contact lenses - trying to scrape them off my eyeballs only to discover I had already done that, sore eyes for a while.

[karter]

Offering to buy drinks at the bar for a group of colleagues at a party in a top hotel last week-end only to discover that it was a free bar (and on top of the free dinner)

A moment of genius i would say. :)
