I'm an idiot

[Anonymous]

I just went to get some laundry out of the dryer and realized that the clothes that are supposed to be in the washer are still sitting on top of it, and it's halfway through the cycle. Good thing I ran it on speed wash. Ugh.

That's not as bad as the time I spent an afternoon, a chicken carcass, and a pound of veggies making lovely homemade stock, then put the colander in the sink and poured it all down the drain.

Ouch! That one hurts.

I hemmed a new pair of wool trousers, put them on, and realized I hemmed only one leg, twice.

I am laughing - because I have done something similar.

Me too. Aargh.

I would have cried. Moments like this make me feel so hopeless, I'd just break down. Sorry, don't mean to put you down, I am sorry this happened to you.

Did you intend to have a larger bowl under the colander to catch the stock?

Once I drove to my Wednesday class on a Tuesday, and so was late to my Tues. class. I call them senior moments.

There wasn't even that much thought involved, and yes, I SHOULD have done that. I guess I was just in pasta-mode.

Ooh, and then there was the time that I went to make myself some hot chocolate. I got the mug, spooned in the cocoa mix, and then poured the boiling water into the cocoa container instead of into the mug.

OP's got nothing on me when it comes to bonehead domestic mistakes.

You mean, I'm not the only one who does stuff like this? Thanks for making me laugh and feel less coo-coo.

Oh, but have any of you ever driven into a parking garage with a bicycle rack on the top of your car? That was a very expensive mistake!

Ever find your car keys in the fridge? And you weren't drunk the night before?

Not my car keys, but I was going to post something similar. I sometimes put strange things in the fridge for no reason, and find them hours later.
