Oh, and did I mention that one time I was in a massive fancy department store browsing around the clothing racks, and I turned and walked very purposefully towards the next rack and faceplanted into the very clean MIRROR that was in front of me?
That was choice.13 -
I hate those giant mirrors that sometimes adorn the walls of restaurants. I'm terrible with getting tricked into thinking what I'm seeing is another half of the dining room, not a reflection of the one I'm in. One time I saw a friend approaching our table and legit waved at his reflection in the mirror instead of him.7

One of my best blonde moments:
When I was younger, I made cereal and put the bowl in the trash, the milk in the cupboard, and the cereal in the fridge. It was discovered a short while later when my mom asked why the milk was in the cupboard. I have not put my phone in the fridge yet, but it's only a matter of time.
Other good ones that occur with some frequency:
- I say "good morning" or "good afternoon" to answer the work phone. I don't always say the right thing at the right time of day however. People's reactions to this are pretty funny.
- Make a pot of coffee and turn it on. Wonder why my coffee is clear, and not brown. Remember I forgot to put COFFEE in the pot!
- walking into a room completely forgetting why I am there.
- Trying to throw the whole plate away instead of scraping the food into the trash.
- Stopping at a stop sign (not a light), and waiting for it to turn green.
Ugh, I've made a couple cups of tea without the tea bag. Sad thing is, I did this two days in a row. Never before, and only once since. Yup, it's getting worse with age too.
I find that it helps to go back into the room you came from to remember why you went into the other one.
Not for me, I'll just find another distraction. But in the middle of said distraction it usually comes back to me, LOL. If this gets worse with age, what's it going to be like when I'm actually old(er)?! I've been this way my whole life!

I've had moments, but it's definitely getting worse with age. I'm still cute though, so at least there's that.6 -
I'm old, not cute, and who are all you people???6

You have that long flowing purple hair. Although, I suspect you have two horns, not just one. Close enough to cute!4 -

You aren't cute - you are stunning. I am assuming that's a selfie you are showing the world.
And all these people are the ones who believe in you!

I've left an orange in a duffel bag, in a closet, so long it turned into a brown, wrinkled baseball. How it didn't get moldy is a mystery. Hubby found it looking for something else I lost.

Oh that reminds me. When I get tired I accidentally mix up my words.
Once answered phone at end of long day at work with Paperpudding helping, can I speak you?11 -

My mom added a whole bulb to a soup once instead of a clove. It was horrendous 😂1 -

I find new and wonderful things to do in that room when I try this....only to remember later that I did go in there for something else entirely

I used to work in the records department in a hospital, and answered the ever-ringing phone "Medical records, Marti". Nine times out of ten that was how I answered the phone at home. Everybody I knew got used to it, but sometimes there would be a pause, then "oops, wrong number" as people hung up, then called back. Or didn't.4

Oh yes, I definitely said "thank you for calling Google AdWords, may I have your customer ID?" way too many times after I quit that job. I still have the number memorized and accidentally give that out instead of my actual number (but fortunately, I catch myself before I finish).3 -

I was in such a hurry to leave the hairdresser I almost tipped her a hundred dollar bill. Thankfully she was honest and gave it back.
Glad you found the money.3 -
Got in my car after work today, started it up to get the AC going...and proceeded to dig through my purse looking for my keys
11 -
Looking for my glasses and my keys.
Desperately.
So I can leave the house and remove the dog from the drive through downstairs kitchen window!
Thankfully I found my glasses.... on my forehead.
And the keys... below my wallet and gloves
...all of which I was holding in my right hand (keys, then gloves, then wallet)5
