    Also when I walk over to my coworker with what I think is a piece of paper in my hand and point to it saying "Can you look at this thing?" Apparently I had nothing in my hand to begin with. I start to say thing instead of what it is when I'm out of it.

    When you answer the phone and just hold it because you're not sure if you're home or at work, and which job you're at if you work more than one.

    Or when You leave your keys in the bloody fridge and look for it all over home >.<

    or when you can't find your keys.... and then you realize you are holding them!

    This makes me laugh. My wife and I drove back from a short vacation Monday. Then we had to return the rental car after unpacking. After about 5 minutes watching her run around the house I asked what she was missing. She said she couldn't find the keys to the rental. I said "you mean those keys in your clenched fist". Perhaps the vacation just wasn't long enough??

    Didn't know the guy waving at me on the freeway... realized it was my HUSBAND driving his govt vehicle with a recruit in the passenger seat. Totally threw me off.

    When you have a business trip that takes you to a Caribbean island - and you think with all the travel you've done lately, you'd rather just stay home...

    I was at one of my sons baseball games and after walking up to the restroom and concession stand my daughter and I were walking back to the fields. I stop midway and say oh darn I must have left my sunglasses and proceed to turn around to search for them. My daughter stops me...ummm, Mom, they are on your face!

    Geez!:laugh:

    When you answer the phone in the morning and say "good afternoon *company name* how can i help you?" or when you answer in the afternoon and say "good morning"

    When you are leaving a message to have someone return your call and you start giving your home phone number...

    When you are walking out of the office talking on the phone with your SO after just locking up and you say "ugh..... I', pretty sure I just left my phone in the office and now I have to go unlock it disarm the alarm then redo it..." then your SO says "honey... If yuo left your phone in the office how are you talking to me?"

    I used to work receptionist at a law firm with a LONG name, and sometimes I'd answer my cell/home phone with "Good morning, GSHS Law!" Hahaha

    You call another office and after they answer, you say

    "National U.S. - Arab Chamber of Commerce, how may I help you?"

    Luckily it was someone at head office I was calling and not a client or member. I just got laughed at by my boss.

    how about saying this - but forgetting to answer the phone!


    Paging a co-worker that they have a phone call when really I wanted to call me because they had a visitor. lol
    Or answering the phone when it wasnt ringing or the ringing I was hearing was the fax. lol

    I used to work at a call center and I would say "Thank you for calling __________. May I please have your 10 digit phone number starting with the area code?" in my sleep.

    When you put the milk in the cabinet, the cereal in the fridge, and when you make coffee, you forget to put your cup under the Keurig as coffee runs all over the counter. -_-

    When you throw your cat's treats into the blender with your protein shake ingredients instead of putting them in her food dish.

    When you leave your apartment without putting on pants or a skirt.

    When you're at work and can't find your cell phone anywhere, then eventually find it tucked inside a file in your boss's office.

    All true stories.
