Senior Moment of the day.

Dropped wife outside Mac D so should could run in and book a kids party, 5 minutes later she comes out gets in the car, belts up and starts saying they do not do them any more. The kids and I could not hear a word as she was sitting in a Hillman Hunter whilst we were still in the Nissan she had got out of, also I do not wear a turban, the driver of the Hillman did.

I could and should write a large book about things like this that my dearest has managed to do over the years.

Did I tell you about the time I sent her downstairs to turn the electric off whilst I changed a light socket, she forgot what she went down for and brought me up a drink, this was followed by me having a shocking experience.

Brilliant.

Another car one. Was walking back to my car at a motorway services, blipped the thing and a complete stranger in front of my took hold of my car's door handle and opened the door - then he just looked utterly baffled as he tried to figure out why "his" car was somehow different. He twigged as he saw me grinning and his own car was next one along.

Ha! I was reading this and smiling at other's silliness then I went for a shave. I'm staying in a hotel as I'm working away from home for a few days. So I open the suitcase, reach for my shaver and find a shoe. The shoe that I'd had in my other hand when I was packing my case. I'm guessing my shaver is in the bottom of the wardrobe at home. Bugger.

Update: so I had to buy gel and disposable razors ( that ripped my face to pieces) and this morning I'm packing up getting ready to check out. But for some reason the laptop won't fit into my briefcase. Upon investigation, there's my shaver at the bottom!

My Doctor is called Dr Fisher-Plum

I phoned up and asked for an appointment with Dr Crab-Apple.... I knew it had something to do with the catching things in the sea and fruit so I was mostly right... plus they change Docs at the GP surgery every five minutes....

Here's a good one, and not me this time.


Paul, guy I work with, comes in a couple of weeks ago ranting and raving-really- that his electric got cut off Friday night and he's been sat in the dark all weekend. Absolutely fuming.

Stands in the middle of the office, phones Electricity Northwest or whatever. Spends a good ten minutes firing all sorts of farks into the girl on the other end of the line. Really going for it. Then goes quiet. Sheepishly apologises as the girl on the line explains that he doesn't have an account with Electricity Northwest.

One related to my wife as I never have them. - (he lied)

My wife has always gone a bit overboard with our childrens' birthdays and my eldest daughter's last birthday was no different, even though she is an adult. I on the other hand don't. So for my daughter's last birthday Mrs B bought a cake, decided to decorate it and bought a card which, my wife knowing what I am like with birthdays, was simply put in front of me with the instruction, "Sign there".
Daughter arrives for birthday meal with fiance. During the meal my wife starts to ask about about a butterfly tattoo on my daughter's buttock, which she doesn't have. (Tattoo not buttock).
Slightly embarrassed, (fortunately fiance is getting used to her sometimes quirky ways), she proudly produces, cake, present and card. Cake and card displaying the number 30, when my daughter was only 29!

My wife took the car to take my stepdaughter somewhere, and parked outside the (nearby) takeaway to get some curry. She then came back and we ate, cleared up then went to bed. Next morning we look out the window and no car. We were about to call the Police when I reminded her where she'd been the previous night. Turns out she'd walked back from the takeaway and left the car there, hadn't noticed there was no car in the driveway either!

Myself, on 3 occasions now I've locked the topbox on my motorbike, and left the entire bunch of keys hanging out the lock on the back. I've also (on 2 occasinos now) parked my bike up, gone into work and then found at the end of the day I can't find my ignition key. Some kind sole had found it on the seat of the bike and handed it in. I think If I lived in London I would be bikeless.

I know someone who left the key in his bike lock. His bike got stolen though.

Hm. There's only a certain amount of senior moments that we can get away with.

I genuinely did go to an ice-cream van once and ask if the man had 69s!

That mortifying incident is seared into my brain and I dare not risk it happening again. Nowadays, I ask for a cone and as if as an afterthought, I add - "Oh, I will have a flake in that please" ...

Today I paid for someone else's petrol. I noticed as I walked back to the car that I was at pump number 4, not pump number 8 as I had claimed. I went back to the till. Much embarrassment as I held up the queue while they sorted it out.

Anyone beat that?

There I was, thinking you'd done it out of the kindness of your heart.

Sitting in an Italian restraunt with my partner, trying to find out from the waiter, which dishes were suitable for vegetarians. His english was not good, so this took a fair bit of time, but finally, a decision was made, and the food ordered. Just as the waiter was leaving, my partner said rather loudly, 'and two peperoni beers please'.

Internet went down on Friday. I turned the router off and back on but still nothing. Mr Hop has finally rung TT today to sort it out. A nice man in India asked him if wifi was switched on.....
It seems I may just possibly have accidentally turned it off when I rebooted the router. Oops!

 

[Yellow Saddle]

Ha, that's nothing. I walked into the office this morning and someone wanted to know why I've got a suppository in my ear. I now know where my hearing aid is, I couldn't find it this morning.

 

[summerdays]

I've done the sunglasses on head thing... Except in my case I spent ages looking for them before giving up and cycling 8 miles home..... With my helmet on

I once turned up at a wedding reception venue one year and one day to early.
