<p>And just to show it’s not just old age: Years ago, a young woman at work was several days from her wedding. I complimented her on how well she was keeping it together. She said “look at my feet.” You guessed it - one black pump and one navy.</p>
<p>After my daughter’s cross country race last week, I came home and sat at the computer. I looked down, and the beautiful ring DH got me for our 25th wedding anniversary was not on my finger!! I wear it all the time. It was cold that day, so I was afraid it had come off in my pocket, which had a huge hole in it. I was frantically looking on the floor of our car when DH appeared at the garage door and said, “Didn’t you leave your ring at the jewelry store so they could fix it [tighten loose stones]?” I felt very embarrassed and relieved at the same time!</p>
<p>Oh, another time I made a crockpot full of chili for a Boy Scout potluck dinner. I brought bowls for it with a sign: “Use these bowels for chili.” Oh, good grief! And I’m a good speller, so my husband does not let me forget that mistake.</p>
<p>
That would be entirely appropriate for some of the Boy Scout chili I’ve had.</p>
<p>This thread has made me feel so much better, but today I hit a new low. After paying the cashier, I walked out of our natural foods store without my bag of groceries! Luckily it’s a small store so the clerk ran out into the parking lot to give them to me.</p>
<p>I’ve already stopped using the drive-up window at the large grocery store after forgetting to pick up the groceries several times. Nothing like getting home, opening up the back of the van to unload, and finding nothing.</p>
<p>I need to focus, focus, focus on whatever I’m doing…sad state of affairs.</p>
<p>You people are lightweights!</p>
<p>Once I was in a store and saw a doorway to another room. I walked toward it and noticed a women coming toward me. I thought “she looks familiar!” and then I walked right into “her”. </p>
<p>It was a mirror, not a doorway!</p>
<p>I wore a pair of sweatpants inside out to a college class once and didn’t notice it until I came home. I went to the bathroom and when I went to pull the pants back up I realized the drawstring was on the wrong side of the waistband. I’d walked across town to class, sat through a three our class, walked back, and gone to the bathroom without noticing.</p>
<p>I had been sitting here thinking “hehe, silly older people” until I remembered that… nobody is immune. :)</p>
<p>I frequently loose my car in parking lots. I’m the lady wondering aimlessly looking for her car. It’s very sad when I finally realize I drove my husbands car and have walked past it five times looking for my SUV. :o</p>
<p>I was on a girls weekend with about 10 other gals. We were at a resort staying in two cottages courtesy of one gals parents. We’d been having some wine one evening and one of the gals got the cottages mixed up, going to the left instead of right to meet with the group. She walked straight in on a family eating dinner with her wine glass, froze, and introduced herself “Suzie Brown, wrong cottage.” turned around and left. It’s been over ten years and we’ve never let her live it down.</p>
<p>In my 30’s I had made a quick run to a fast food restaurant due to a long day at work and not wanting to spend time cooking, this is when they first came out with the double windows, pay at the first and pick up food at the 2nd. I spouted off my order into the microphone, drove to the first window, paid my money, got my change and drove home. Walked into the house and my kids said, where’s the food? Only then did it dawn on me I just gave away $12 - I was too embarrased (and tired) to go back. It was a Cheerios night.</p>
<p>EPTR - yours made me laugh the hardest.</p>
<p>I picked up a small bottle of Balsamic Vinegar instead of my bottled tea. Kids saw me do this and watched silently…</p>
<p>This thread is precious!</p>
<p>Sometimes my wife will put a different shoe on each foot and then ask me, her trustworthy clothing advisor, which one looks better. Is it remotely possible you did this with your spouse and then forgot to switch one out? </p>
<p>Welcome to “Club 60” in 2 weeks. (I’m a fellow member, and then some.) Enjoy your stay.</p>
<p>I once put self tanner on my toothbrush. Another time, I substituted foam toilet bowl cleaner for hairspray.</p>
<p>Once at the gym locker room I pulled on a pair of my black spandex shorts. I was dismayed how much they had shrunk and/or I had gotten fatter in the past week. Really, it was like stuffing a sausage into its skin, </p>
<p>I looked at the shorts label, and they said 10-12. Phew, was I glad to eventually figure out that they were actually my son’s NAVY shortie pajama bottoms, boys size.</p>
<p>HotCanary, you made me laugh outloud.</p>
<p>I walked the dogs yesterday…a neighbor pointed out my shirt was on inside out…</p>
<p>Because my dogs are shedders, I tend to wash out clothes inside out a lot and my husband often times goes out the door with his shirts inside out. Plus he has pretty much zero fashion sense when it comes to what he puts on when he rolls out the door in the morning.
The guys who work for him rag on him a lot ;)</p>
<p>you haven’t lived till you look down, realize your shirt is inside out, then look out at the class full of college freshmen you’re supposed to be teaching, and hope they didn’t notice.</p>
<p>Till one of them raises their hand as you turn back from writing on the board, to let you know, since they can see the tag sticking out.</p>
<p>Colorado_mom, I once put on my khaki slacks ( back when they were much more in style) and thought “Gee, I’ve lost some weight”
Went to work and realized there was something different about them…for one thing, my pants didn’t have pleats…they were my husband’s, and also about 5" too long.</p>
