barleycorn Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 Once, on the way to work I had to turn back because I'd forgotten my car keys. It was only as I was taking then out of the ignition that I realised what an idiot I was. jb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonkeyLover Posted November 5, 2011 Author Share Posted November 5, 2011 I lent my carpet cleaning machine to a friend of my son's. I got it back, and stored it in the shed. A few months later, I got it out to clean my carpet, plugged it in, and, although it wet the carpets, it would no longer dry them. I decided to take it to bits to see if I could see a blockage. There was no obvious cause, so I put it back together again. I then noticed there was a part missing off the front of it, so asked my son and his friend to check to see if the part was in their houses or boot of the car, and they had not noticed it. There was no sign of the broken part, so I decided to take it to the tip. Took it out of the cardboard box at the tip, and there, nestling in the bottom of the box, was the broken part! DOH!

Mandem Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 I always make my husbands flask in the morning, one day I put the tea bags in the tea pot then poured the boiling water into the tea caddy, nice strong cup of tea there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
janie48 Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 i decided to sweep the piles of scattered leaves on the patio from the nearby enormous tree yesterday.(or was it the day before ) anyway i swept them all into 1 big pile ready to bin---and then a gust of wind blew and scattered them all over again. i then thought maybe its a better idea not to sweep when its windy.

MonkeyLover Posted November 5, 2011 Author Share Posted November 5, 2011 The other week, I had forgotten the security code to get into the door of my office. Walked down three flights of stairs to get the key from the managers office, and by the time i got there, I remembered the code. Didnt bother getting the key, and went back upstairs. Yes, you've guessed it - got all the way to the office, and forgot it again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonkeyLover Posted November 5, 2011 Author Share Posted November 5, 2011 Someone I know took the kettle out to the car to defrost the lock, and then took the kettle to work with her, instead of her handbag! ......................... it wasn't me - honest!

RosyRat Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 Only a few months ago I went to make a cup of tea. We've had electric kettles for over 30 years. I filled the electric kettle, set it on the gas hob & lit the gas underneath the kettle. The smell of melting, burning plastic took days to get rid of.

MonkeyLover Posted November 6, 2011 Author Share Posted November 6, 2011 My friend bought a new iron, but didn't notice the clear sticky protective film on the bottom of it - until she plugged it in, and left it to warm up. It made such a mess, that she had to go out and buy another new iron! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
