I got the top of our Toyota Highlander stuck in a parking garage in Old Town because I didn't see the "compact cars only" sign. A very friendly fat man stood on the bumber after I took air out of the tires so I could back out and get unstuck.

My husband was pleaaased.

Love this chain! Wish I could contribute, but I have forgotten 99% of the dumb things I have done - now what does THAT say!?

Last week, I threw some clothes into the trash can instead of the washing machine. I wouldn't have noticed except the next time I went to throw something out, I saw a sock that looked suspicously like the one my daughter had been wearing earlier that day.

I drove off with my work laptop on top of the car along with a cup of coffee.

twice.

the IT guys couldn't believe I made the same, very expensive mistake, two times in one month. I was almost scared to go into work the second time.

My next kitchen won't have the fridge and stove right next to each other. I have tried, more than once, to bake in my fridge.

DH drove away with his brand new laptop on the roof of the car. He didn't realize it until next morning when getting ready for work LOL

I have left my home phone and iphone in my fridge more times than I can count.
I have thrown diapers in the toilet instead of trash can.
I've used conditioner instead of shampoo, more than 3 times this month.
And today I payed for my meter with my debit card downtown and left the card on my windshield along with my payment confirmation.

I searched the house for my keys and they were IN MY HAND.

LOL I often go around the house looking for my hairbrush while brushing my hair and like crazy I wonder around the house looking for my glasses with them on my face.

My sister called while I was getting ready to leave the house. When the call dropped a block later, I realized it was because I drove off talking on the cordless house phone and not my cell phone.

Loved the last one!
I often think "oh crap, I think I left my phone at such and such a place' and then realize I am talking on my phone.

Also, I now put those return address stickers on everything I own (camera, laptop, cellphone), and my keys have a tacky keychain with my name on it, so everyone at work will know where to return the keys they find in the bathroom, staff lounge....

I saw a picture today of Demi Moore with 2 pairs of glasses on..apparently she went back into her salon looking for her sunglasses, only to be told they were on her head, along with her reading glasses, which were on her nose.

I once opened 2 big cans of tomatoes for pasta sauce, dumped the tomatos into the trash, and snapped out of it as I was throwing the empty cans into the pot simmering on teh stove.

My DH frequently puts keys in the freezer....

I put my cell phone into our linen closet the other night. My husband watched me do it and says he is going to conduct a science project by following me around and making notes of the strange places I put things (I deserve this because then I'm nursing our son and send him on wild goose chases to find things).

The woman with the hot cocoa / chicken stock disaster must be my doppelganger! I've done similar things more often than I can remember!

I actually dumped an entire cup of coffee on my laptop once and was scared ****less of IT. If that wasn't bad enough, I decided to play dumb about it. I took it into them and it went like this:

Me: "my computer stopped working."
Them: "what happened?"
Me: "It stopped working."
Them: "did it get wet?"
Me: "Hm, like, rain?"
Them: (turning the computer upside down as coffee is spilling out of it)

Then later on I had to turn my laptop in for some repairs b/c my spacebar wasn't working, and IT called to tell me that maybe my keyboard wasn't working because there are "enough crumbs in here to make a sandwich" underneath my keyboard.

no more working lunches for me...I've always wondered if I could get fired for equipment abuse!

My husband's computer stopped working, so he took it to IT. They dismantled it and called him in his office. They asked "Do you have a cat?" Er, yes. "Is it orange?" Yep, the computer was all full of cat fur.

Because he comes from a culture that thinks animals are dirty and don't belong in the house, he has cat-shame. He was mortified.
