10 Crazy things I admit to doing.......

I dont know if this has been a post before so forgive me if it has.
I wanted to see how many others have done crazy things like me.

For instance....................

1. I try to open my front door with my car alarm button...many times.

2. I cant find food items that I know I have bought.  Put food items in the closet or cabinet only to find them later and have to throw it away. Or items in the freezer, like eggs, toys or books.

3. When I open a bottle of anything...I try to put something else on top for the lid and after I get frustrated as to why it isnt working....I realize that I am trying to use the can opener on it or something else.

4. Attempt to drive to places that I have been before...only to be driving around in circles for 45mins and still cant find it. Only to arrive home & then remember where it was but too late now.

5. Cant remember where you parked your car, everywhere you go. And sometimes forget what your car looks like so now you are really screwed.

6.  Spray deodorant in your hair and hair spray in your armpits.

7.  Send out birthday invites, only to forget that you already did and then you send them out again.

8.  Call your kids by your dog's name or vice versa. Or run thru a list of names and eventually you get it right.

9.  Cant remember if I took my meds and I could have just taken it a minute ago and still cant remember.  Probably how I got pregnant with my last one....hahaha

10. Ask your friends "Did you feel that?" And they have no idea what you are talking about.
     I just felt a bolt of electricity under my foot or feel like an earthquake has hit.

This makes my day just reading all the ones others have done. !!!!

That's sad....we all have to post later when we "remember" more....

I get confused on which is park, drive and reverse on my gear shift sometimes.....

I will put salt or whatever object on the counter in my coffee instead of sugar or milk.

Tell my husband over and over something he has already heard that day from me

Freaked out because cant find my dog, only to find her stuck in the laundry room or garage, I thought I had put her out to go pee

How about when I am making mac n cheese for my girls....I go to drain the water from the noodles in the sink, but instead just throw the whole thing away

I bought my girls Valentine's for their class party. Mind you, they werent small either. I bought heart shaped foam cutouts. I can't find. I know I had them, I know I took them out of the bag, but from there, I dont know.

Oh, and the other day...........I asked my hubby to cut up some meds for me with his pill cutter since I cant break them. As he was cutting them, It was time to take one of them so I grabbed a pill from the counter. My husband took it away from me. I yelled at him that I had to take it now. He said no you dont. I said yes I have to. He said...not this one you dont.....I argued again...yes, why wont you let me have it. He said, you grabbed the wrong pill!! He said I would be in alot of trouble if I took that one. Why? I guess I took one of his on the counter and thought it was mine by mistake. I could have had a good hard on for the day if I took that one......if I had a ding a ling that is.

And most embarrasing....I have done this twice! The last time was last weekend for a party! Forgot to put knickers on my daughter underneath her sheer tights...as she was climbing on the jumpers at the jump house, there it was..........in all her glory.....buttcrack!
The first time I did this, I sent my other daughter to school that way.....needless to say.....the Head Nun gave me a talking to!!!!!

Hi all im loving this it's brilliant (hahahahahaha). The one that springs to mind is I try to turn my AFRICAN GREY PARROT down with the TV remote and i have not tried this only once but Numerous times (lol). It's always worse when you do it in front of your friends and family they look at you as if your totally MENTAL then they start laughing and tell you it aint working (hahahahaha). You just have to laugh with them Oh just remembered another one. I have got in the car and wondered were the steering wheel was only to find i got in the BACK of the car (LOL). Keep yours coming guys and if i remember any more i will post them also.

Have a great day guys and be well

ROFL!

Freaking out because my house key's (2) had disapeared from my key ring, only to discover weeks later that they were infact still there, i just didn't recognise them anymore.

Not being able to remember how i write my signature, last night i was signing papers and had to initial every one because none looked even remotely the same.

Call my children by a hybrid, made up from a bit of both names but its different for each, jocklan and Lackie, it is getting better, i think lol it started out being the one who's not here anymore, lost my nouns i did.

I changed my car from a 4x4 to a convertable because 1, i couldn't get up/in it, park it, drive it anymore and 2 i'd have more chance in finding it if it was less common. Just so you know, I still loose the car cause i'm usually still looking for my old one and when i'm not doing that, its so small it disapears between all the 4x4's.

Have conversations, that suddenly stop because i cant remember the next word, gone from my tongue, so conversations now often have "what's the word for xxx" in the middle.

Too many incidences of putting something in a weird place, windex in the fridge or a dirty plate complete with knife and fork spring to mind lol

Cheers.......JJ

Keep on laughing!!!

OMG!
These are too funny!! Keep them coming.
I have done so many of these.............

Like trying to press buttons on my car stereo like a dvr to rewind it because I didnt get a chance to hear the whole thing.

Saying the wrong words at the wrong time....like goodnite instead of hello

And YES my front door should open with my car alarm thingy!!

I think I have OCD too because I have to continuously check the clock like I am going to be late for something.

Oh and dont let me call my hubby by another name...then sh*t will hit the fan...he would wonder where my butt has gone and found another man while walking around with my cane somewhere. Like I have the time or strength to even remember a new man's name...haha

I know I have more but I just have to remember them!!!

Skyeblues, I also mix up greetings! People probably assume that I sleep through the whole morning, because I always wish them a good morning when it's really midway through the afternoon.

I also regularly go to class when it's a day that I work, go to work on a day when I don't normally have to, take the subway the wrong direction...

I also have been known to forget what side of the road the traffic goes on.

When I don't fully hear what someone is saying, I briefly think of pressing the rewind button on the DVR player.  Wish that would actually work!

This is too funny.

Yes, to 1, 2, 4, 5, 9 and 10.  

I get very mad when my front door won't unlock with my car key fob thingy.  Darn that battery, must be time for a new one.  :)   ... Think about it, it we should have a key fob thingy for our front door.  Wouldn't that be nice.

Definatly done 4 and 5.

walking out the shop looking for a grey car up and down the car park only to remember that the car is green not grey!! lol

Driving down a very familiar road to a place I go often only to feel lost , knowing where I'm going but thinking I'm lost and don't know where I am , even if the place I'm going is only a few 100 metres away.

Similar to 8 I have called my hubby my exs name after 8 years together!!! Argh....not a good one!!!

Also ask a question and 2 mins later ask it again cos I don't remember what the answer was, or even if I got an answer or weather I asked it yet. The funny thing is I can ask 3 or 4 times the same thing!!    Really funny for my family and frustrating.

Also they know if they want me to do something while I'm out, even if its a 10 min trip, to write it down as I always come back without remembering even if its the reason I went out.  If this happens I've been known to come back with something but not the actual thing I was going for in the first place.

One time I was asked my hubbys name .....and nothing , could not remember lol!!  How embarrassing is that??

Was driving once and an irate driver was giving me rude signs for not giving way.  I was so infuriated  when they were in the wrong I gave rude signs back, thinking they had a cheak as they obviously didn't know the road rules..  Spent the next 30 mins feeling outraged by there ordasity only to realise that it was me in the wrong.
The funny thing about it was I know the road rules and I knew that what I had done was wrong but at the time I thought it was right????  confusing.

Funny Post!

Number 4 is starting into a list of things to tell my Grandkids... like the time I got lost on my block.  Or the time I had Jury duty but never made it cause I overshot by 30 miles...(try getting home when all you know is that your not where you meant to go) Or my husbands favorite when I took a shortcut home in the dark and ended up driving in circles wondering who put all these fences up! but no one fenced me in on the sly, I was just driving in circles on a baseball diamond.

Yes, I've done 2,3,5,8(only it's my husband I call my dog's name and vice versa) and 9 on your list, and so many other crazy things I can't remember them all.

Yesterday I tried to change the channel with my Blackberry.  Last week I tried to use my Blackberry as a mouse as work.  And when I was telling a friend about it, I called it a "Blueberry."
