Senior Moment of the day.

[cyberknight]

When i moved house a few years ago i went to a bike marking thing and put my old postcode on the bike .

My sister in law went to the wrong funeral... (she was late, had missed the one she was meant to be at, didn't realise, and sat through a complete stranger's funeral wondering who the heck all these people were)

Stopped myself just in time this morning when poised over my toast with a jug of milk.

Not sure if this counts as a senior moment or stupidty.
In a similar vein about a couple of months ago, I put a piece of bread in the toaster and immediately decided the toaster was in the wrong place on the work top and it should be moved a few inches to make it more convenient to remove the toast once it popped up. Rather than using two hands to move it, I thought it would be much easier to use one and as the rack had only just been depressed, the spare slot would be a convenient finger hold. Cue electric shock from the warmng element

I've done the sunglasses on head thing... Except in my case I spent ages looking for them before giving up and cycling 8 miles home..... With my helmet on

I've done the opposite ... I once descended from above Calpe on the Costa Blanca towards Benidorm, bombing downhill in bright sunshine into a couple of tunnels and thinking 'Sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet, it's almost a blackout in here', having forgotten that I was wearing very dark sunglasses at the time!

. These are known to psychologists as 'action slips', and really are nothing to do with ageing. Everyone does them all the time when a bit distracted, at any age.

I have poured tea onto my coco pops whilst trying to make breakfast and a cuppa at the same time. That was when I realised I wasn't cut out for multi-tasking.

 

[TVC]

I have put the tea bag in the kettle before now.

Not done that one yet

Poured brewed tea into the milk jug? Oh yes, but not as often as I've poured the hot water into a tea-less teapot. After 50 years of brewing, mashing and stewing, you'd think I'd have got the hang of it by now.

The number of times I've forgotten to boil the kettle before making a cup of coffee

 

[EltonFrog]

I poured milk into mint tea a couple of times.

 

[Profpointy]

I genuinely did go to an ice-cream van once and ask if the man had 69s!

" ...

did he give you one ?

 

[TheDoctor]

I've frequently lost a bike, only to rediscover it next time I go to the shops / station / pub.
And I once lost some glasses and turned the whole house upside down while failing to find them. A year later I found them at a friend's house. In NZ.

 

[Joey Shabadoo]

On top of a hill in Spain you'll find my hat. Put down while I took a photo.

One part of a foreign field that shall forever be Ben Sherman.

 

[ColinJ]

did he give you one ?

Yes.

And then he gave me one again, but he insisted that I pay for the privilege!
