Ah brain...where were you?

So I think we have ALL had those times where, for whatever reason, our brain was not present and you just do something silly.  Maybe you were thinking about something else, maybe you were insanely tired, or maybe...yeah I don't really know what else, but you know what I mean =P

Don't you just hate it when your brain leaves you for a bit, and you do something, and it's like, Wait...why did I just do that?

Here are a couple of times where that has happened to me...

* I just went to take a shower, I was thinking about something else and was totally distracted, so I got in the shower half dressed. 

* I was getting ready to leave for school so I went out in the garage to get my shoes.  I had my backpack with me, and instead of getting my shoes, bringing them inside, and putting them on, I left my backpack on my shoes in the garage and came back in and sat down.  THEN I realized I didn't have my shoes and had to go back.

* I was holding my keys getting ready to leave for school again (different day =P) and I went to the fridge to grab my lunch.  Instead of getting my lunch, I put my keys in the fridge and walked away only to do a double-take and make another trip back to the fridge.

Here's one I couldn't resist, but it wasn't me.  I think my mom was very tired:

Mom: *huge sneeze*

Me: Bless you.

Mom: You're welcome.

Me: ????? =P

I just love it when people are tired =P (when they aren't crabby at the same time!)

What are some of your funny stories?

I've have these moments quite often, the most current.  I was pouring my daughter a glass of milk.  I set the gallon of milk down in front of her and put the glass of milk back in the fridge.  I sat down at the dinner table and my family looked at me like I had just lost it.  :)

haha! I probably would have too =P

I told my friend about the shower thing today and she told me one morning she was so tired, so was turning the knobs on the sink to turn on the lights!

I'm glad I'm not the only one that has those moments!

I woman at work told me a pretty funny story recently - she left work early to go to a dentist appointment, but got distracted and ended up going shopping instead, and completely forgot about her appointment.

I walk around mindlessly a lot, especially before bed... I get in and out of bed like 3 - 5 times before I actually STAY in bed, because I forget about things I have to do before the morning (set my alarm, unload the dryer, get my lunch ready - stupid stuff).

I think its funny when the hostess at a restaurant says "enjoy your meal" and the patron says "you too."  LOL I've done that before.

Thanks for sharing!

I seriously LOVE reading these kinds of things...it just makes my day =D

Ahhh I can't think of any at the moment but I've had so many of those!! It's so funny...unless you totally embarrase yourself, then it takes a couple days to be funny. lol none the less.

"I think its funny when the hostess at a restaurant says "enjoy your meal" and the patron says "you too."  LOL I've done that before."

I've done that at a movie theater. The girl gave me my ticket at the ticket stand and said "enjoy your movie" and I said "you too!". I walked away 2 steps then I realised what I said, I turned around and the girl that helped me was looking at me smiling because she caught what I said. After that the whole was weird.

One time I wanted to drink a Caprisun. I grabbed one from the box, pulled off the little straw that comes with it, pulled the straw out of the little plastic liner then went to throw away the plastic. Instead of throwing away the plastic I threw away the Caprisun. Being the genious I am I never realised what I did till I actually wanted a drink.

Earlier this morning I was putting together a protein shake. I put my cup down with water right next to the protein powder bag. I filled the scooper with protein and instead of dumping the protein in my cup I dumped it in the sink inside the dirty dishes. Great start to the day!

I was a hostess at a restaurant and you wouldn't BELIEVE how often I got that!  I loved those customers =P

hahaha, once my Mom was making spaghetti, but she forgot the colander to drain it.  All the spaghetti just went down the drain! lol

Ok I just have to keep adding stuff as I think of it...I can never seem to remember everything at once! =P  Probably just because it happens so much =\

This one isn't quite the same but my friend totally mixed up something she was saying...

We were sitting in econ and she came in with one of her pant legs soaked (it was raining outside and she had just come in) and she sits down and says, "How come only my left leg ever gets wet?  God, I swear my left leg is righter than my long leg..."

and we all started laughing (meant to say left leg is longer than my right leg!)

Another for me though...I had gotten an egg out of the fridge to boil it, set it down for a bit then came back, for some reason thought I had boiled it, so I wacked it with a spoon and well, I think the rest is obvious =P

it happened to me today! but i can't even remember! ah brain, will i ever FIND you??? lol jk

i remembered one now! i had an empty bag of chips or some kind of food, &i also had 20 bucks in my hand. i was like okayyy be carefulnot to throw away the 20 bucks. so since i started focusing on it so much &staring at it, i STILL ended up accidentely throwing it in the trash! XD

Ok this one JUST happened last night and my stepmom was a witness...I must be so stressed about finals or something!

I was getting a glass of milk, and I opened the cupboard and took out a cup.  Then I got the milk out of the fridge, poured it in the cup, then put the milk in the cupboard.  Actually I just attempted to..it was too big to fit =P

I got some looks and laughs from her about it!

This morning I made the kids breakfast and left the prepared bowls of cereal on the counter, put the gallon of milk on the table and walked out. It wasn't till I was halfway down the hallway that I realized what I had done. I came back into the dinning room to two snickering kids.... :)

I have done so many goofy things I can't even count them. I have found my keys in the freezer, my slippers under the sink, my diet cokes in the bathroom. The list goes on and on.

I do the 'you too' reply at the wrong moments a lot. I'd have to say the worst was a few years ago I just started a new job, and I called to tell my boss I was leaving for 2 weeks on a trip. Well she says "I'm not keeping you" and goes on about things I was doing wrong (which was unwarranted, except being 5min late one day), so after all that she says "have a nice vacation" and I said "you too"...lol I felt like such a moron.

oh yeah I hate that, you remind yourself not to do something and then you do it anyway. When I played soccer when I was younger, I got hit in the head really hard by the ball in one game. After that I was always weary of getting hit with the ball. So on another game there was a foul ball getting kicked in and the coach put me in position infront of the girl kicking it in. So I kept telling myself, it's ok to block the ball with my fists (opened hands not allowed) if it flies at my face. I kept saying that over and over, then when she did kick it it flew well above my head, but I reached up with my fists to block it lol. Sooooo embarassing - luckily I didn't actually block the ball.

OOh I got one.  A couple of times I accidentally poured fabric softener into the washing machine itself (after already pouring in the detergent) as its filling up rather than in the dispenser!  So now I've psyched myself out worrying about doing it all the time, that I have to seriously sit there and think about what goes where when I do laundry.

I used to work at a pizzeria and one day I got an order back, made it, took it out front, sent it through the oven, and heard an uproar of laughter after about five minutes.  I ran out front to see what was going on and apparently I made the entire pizza, but forgot to put it on a crust.  What was even funnier was whoever was working the cut station didn't realise it either until she'd tried to put it in a box and it slopped out all over the place.

i had one happen last night. my dad asked me for the toothpaste, so i went over to where we keep all our socks &kept on searching for  pair. then i was like oh! toothpaste not socks! ;P

Happened a couple of days ago...

I was too tired and hungry at the end of day. Was fixing a mexican dinner. Cut the avocado, removed the seed, put the avocado in the trash, and seed nicely on husband's plate.

This happened yesterday...

I was not too tired but distracted by work. Had to come back to office from the gym to collect my things... boots, which I leave here. Came back, picked up the costco list I had been making during the day, then went out. Half way, remembered I didn't collect my boots for which I had come, then went back. Then came back with boots, just at the door, 3 flights down realized I left my card keys on my desk. Then half way up, I remembred the key was in my coat pocket. Then went back, finally...

Once when I was staying in a dorm, a girl in the room next to mine decided to start blow drying her hair at 5 in the morning, so I got out of bed and started pushing the snooze button on my alarm clock to make the sound go away.
