I can't say this is the daftest but still daft - I ate my roast beef dinner with Tarter Sauce on instead of Horse radish ??? I kept thinking " I think they have change the recipe to this!!!!" Was half way through it when I cottoned on :-[ My only excuse is that the jars are alike in the fridge :)
-
My daftest thing, and it makes me cringe even now 30 years on, was to attempt to walk out of an Oxford Street "trendy" store through one of their giant plate glass windows... I can still hear the sound in my mind now - and the peals of laughter that followed... :-[

I once was rudely awaken by Barry, early one morning, naked(me not him), in an hotel room in Ibiza.
Apparently we'd gone to bed in the same room :)
I'd got sleep walk mode on and knocked on our friends door, 3 rooms away down the corridor about 3.00am.
Barged in, and made my self comfy in their bed.
Only when Barry woke up at about 5.30am ish, and couldn't find me in the room, he rushed to our friends room for help.
Bless. O:-)

I used to have one of those Phillips electric shavers with the floating rotary heads - about 30 years ago.
Two pin plug socket in the kitchen - in fact I think it was a 3 pin plug adapter in to 2 pin.
It had a curly wire which plugged in to the bottom of the shaver, which was a bit worn, and kept falling out.
So mid shave, after the cable had detached itself a few times, I thought "F@@k this", and bit the prongs together with the teeth - still plugged in to the mains!!
Luckily it did not touch me, but I had that momentary lapse before I realised what I had done!!
Talk about Close Shave!!

Many years ago I parked my car in town, completely forgot about it and caught the bus home. ::)
-
Ohhh Aitch you have just jogged my memory.
At the age of 11yrs I had a new baby brother (Slacker you know him) The following year I was allowed to walk him in his pram just down the road to the shop where I parked him up outside whilst I went in.
I arrived back home to be asked by my mum where my brother was ??? OMG he was still outside the shop :-[ :-[

While in sixth form, I was asked by my parents to collect my sister, 13 years my junior, from nursery, after I finished school.
Me and a friend decided to wag school and go into town instead.
On the way home, an hour later than usual, we got on the bus in town, only to see my parents sat there on the bus, and for them to ask me who was picking my sister up.
This was in the days before phones, etc, so the nursery had no choice to keep her back until I eventually turned up to collect her.

Not something that happened to me personally, but still funny after all these years.
A relative of mine was getting married and, at the reception, her now Father-in-law had asked for a cup of coffee - to which he then put some sugar in.............................EXCEPT it wasn't brown sugar in the ramekins - it was parmesan cheese. You really should've seen his face!! :P
-
One (of my many) daftest things I've done was when I was a youngster (c8 years old). At the time my parents ran a country pub in Nottinghamshire and I used to 'help' some of the regulars in their daily working life. On this occasion I was 'helping' the window cleaner, all was going ok until at one house he was cleaning the upstairs windows and I placed the bucket of water at the bottom of his ladder............................................yes you guessed it, he didn't spot it and put his foot straight into the bucket of cold water on the way down!!
Needless to say I never went to work with him again :(
-
I have done that several times myself.
In an earlier life I worked as a ceramic tiler. When tiling someones bathroom, the easiest way to tile the wall over the bath is to stand in the bath. While working, its useful to have all your bits and pieces at hand, including a bucket of water to wipe up your mess from the tiles, as you go. I would often place my bucket on the floor next to the bath, and frequently stepped out of the bath straight into the bucket.

Carry On Alsatian eh ;) ;D

I once owned a 3 litre reliant scimitar thats a surprise eh?
I lived at Mums at the time.
Anyway, it was misfiring, so I had it parked on Mums drive, bonnet up tinkering trying to find out what was causing the misfire. Drivers door open, engine running, Auto transmission in "N" for neutral.
I called it a day, couldnt find the fault - besides which the pub was calling - meeting the girlfriend at 9pm. So I half sat on drivers seat, one leg in the car the other not, engine still running, foot on brake, moved gear lever from N to P (Park) - or so I thought. However, inbetween N & P is R-Reverse,and I felt the car start to creep backwards. I was not sat in it properly as already mentioned so went to reapply foot brake, but hit the accelerator instead. Mums house was too close, and as the car shot back bye bye drivers door - ripped it off completely -smashed to various pieces of fibre glass.
Felt such a plonker!! Luckily a friend knew someone who made fibre glass body kits for Go Karts, so they scooped all the pieces up and managed to rescue the door for me all for the price of a couple of pints.
Still miss that car - it got stolen - never recovered :(
-
Some good ones there ;D I'm pleased I'm not the only one around who does daft things ;D ;D

Went down to the Aquarius Club and had a few beers (as you did).
Said to my friends "I've had enough I'm off".
Walked home.
Unlocked the door and took off my shoes so as not to wake missus.
Got halfway up the stairs and the landing light came on.
Mum said to me "Michael you are married and haven't lived here for 5 years, go home".
-
:)) :)) Not 'welcome home son' then :))

My daftest thing was retiling our kitchen. Took off the cooker switch, no problem. When the time came to measure the tile I needed, i stupidly put my tape measure up behind it. I know the live was on the other side but I didnt bank on it arc'ing that far. I wont do that again.
My brothers girlfriend a few years ago: My brother came home from work to find 2 lumps under a teatowel on the worksurface. He lifted it up and it was 2 eggs. She got home and asked what they were there for. Her reply was that because it was Easter she wanted them to hatch so she could have chicks. She isnt blonde!

Be nice to win at something, even though it is being a complete idiot. I did have other things on my mind as my OH was in hospital for an operation so it was going to be a surprise that the kitchen was redecorated when she finally got home.

I caught my hubby with his finger in the toaster last week ----- it was plugged in and hot!!
He had just used it. --- scuttles off to find his insurance ;)

Our_Lass told me a story about her mother from years ago.
Her mother was boiling up a pan of 'packet soup' for the 4 kids. Whilst doing other motherly jobs.
Then realised she'd not been stiring it as often as she should.
Ran across the kitchen, grabbed the pan and a sieve, and poured it down the sink. Oops !
Then realised 4 kids haven't got any soup, just the lumps :D
-
I've had to wash splattered boiled eggs from the ceiling in the past when they boiled dry ??? :))

Went into tesco's during the week, handed over several coupons - all August :-[
The last one wouldn't scan so the check out assistant said to go to customer services as they may be able to scan it in - which I did
It was for Boots!!!!! :)) :)) :)) :-[

Have you seen the way she minces? ;)

This didn't hapeen to me but a friend at the time swore it was true -
Having dashed up to Elder Way only to see her bus pulling away said friend decided to pop into Littlewoods cafe for a warming cuppa.(those were the days)After purchasing a cup of tea and a Kit Kat she settled at a table and started to browse through a magazine. Being a miserable day the cafe was pretty busy and after a couple of minutes a very respectable gentlemen approached the table asking if she would mind if he sat opposite. She replied no of course not and he duly sat down, in front of him a cup of tea and a vanilla slice. After a couple of minutes she slid the Kit Kat from its paper cover and folded back the silver paper, breaking of the first finger and popping it in her mouth. After only a couple of seconds she see's from the corner of her eye(she's still browsing)the gentleman reach forward and snap off the second Kit Kat finger and pop it in his mouth! She cannot believe her eyes. She breaks off the third finger and eats it. He picks up the last piece and eats that. She is so cross but doesn't want to make a scene in the busy cafe. Downing her tea she stands up,picks of the top segment of the chaps vanilla slice pops it in her mouth and marches away. She reaches the bus stop and puts her hand in her pocket for her bus fare and pulls out ...a Kit Kat! :)

Zits!! Doctor told me I'd be OK after I'd gone through puberty. Obviously neither of us have passed this particular milestone yet. ;D ;D
