Telling a assistant who was helping me to pack my shopping that the carrier bag has a hole in it proceeded to pack shopping and shopping all landed on the floor chasing onions and lemons around peoples feet not a pretty sight [lol]

I accidently pressed control alt and the left arrow instead of delete ( they are right next to one another:roll:) and have spent the last hour peering at my monitor sideways until OH turned up and sorted it out.

God my neck hurts!:lol:

That's typically the sort of thing I would do too, I once handed over my driving licence in Boots thinking it was my advantage card! I blushed a unique shade of red that day!

I am a dreamer and have been since a child. Once while driving home from work (I had grown up by then) I came to and didn't recognise where I was. It was a road I had hardly ever been on and I had to keep driving until I recognised a land mark in the distance.

P.S.I have had more.....:lol:

P.P.S. Do men have blonde moments....

Only last week I handed the library assistant my bank card instead of my library card.

"Ermmm...are you sure you want to give me this?" he wondered. :confused Then I crossed the road and tried to pay in the Co-op with....my library card.

Bank card mainly blue - library card red & white. :roll:

Usually I find I'm trying to get cash out of the machine with my Tesco clubcard, my Advantage card ....or my library card ...and wondering why nothing is happening....

Once put my plate in the bin and my lunch remains in the sink (PMT).

One of my most outstanding was turning up at a house I hadn't lived in for 3 years and trying to let myself in. I realised my mistake and had to travel a few more miles up the road to my then home(sleep deprivation and stress). Luckily I didn't bump into any of the old neighbours!

I also suffer from verbal blondness, does anyone else have this problem?

Don't have blonde moments any more - I have senior moments, just as bad. Make tea with coffee and vice versa, put milk in my orange juice (which is in a mug so why not?). Took what I thought was a new peanut butter jar out of the cupboard yesterday for grandchildren's tea and found it was empty. Wonder where the new one is?

On the bus from Halkirk to College in Thurso. Started playing a silly game on my phone. Looked up from my phone thinking I must be nearly in Thurso only to find the bus had stopped in the centre of town. Had to walk all the way back up the hill. DOH!:eek:

I'm not blonde but I do have my moments!

Last night I started yoga again after a few months 'rest';). It's a rush to get ready in time...halfway there I realised I'd put on my black pyjama bottoms instead of my black sports 'pants':eek:.

Luckily the lights were soft, and the hall was nearly full, so I squeezed myself in at the end of the row, my secret... safe!

A friends daughter, blonde and 20yrs old, worked in a nightclub bar. She phoned in sick one night then went into the club with her friend 2 hours later! And she complained when they sacked her next day.

I am blonde..and a repeat offender with this one.

Husband opens passenger door as I wait patiently by it, I thank him and he goes round to the driver's side and gets into the car... after an interval he throws my door open from the inside and I say in some surprise from where I am still stood waiting "oh...did you open it?":eek:

"What did you think I was doing..and what did you thank me for?" says he...

Driving past some lovely fields yesterday and there were sheep and lambs frolicking about....very pastoral.

Says me to him " look, white lambs...ooh and there's a brown one..do you get brown lambs?

Him to me (poker faced) " Nah,they are all white, that one's just been in a muddy puddle"

It took me quite a long blonde moment to suss that the mickey was being well and truly taken.

Blonde...and a townie!:roll::lol:

I dont know if its a blonde thing or not but after having Lauren I now seem to exist in a different time zone to my single/childless pals ....just phoned one for a chat to be told its Sunday morning...oops...we have been up since 6:30 and thought it was later than it is ..
I havant been invited out to a night out in ages...
Im usually to knackered to go anyway but being invited would be nice...
Im getting into gardening (in a small way but its something that always baffled me before)

LOL Me too dadie - i have blonde moments all the time - milk in the steam iron, first aid kit in the freezer!!!!

My kids call it maternal dementia when i ask them to take the washing out of the dryer and put it in the freezer, or to unpack the shopping and put it in the washing machine. My words are all confused in my head sometimes. Its a source of great hilarity in our house I have to say.

Similar thread...adding salt instead of sugar...yeuch!
Many years ago I worked in Burnett's Bakery in Inverness for a couple of college summers. I worked on the machine that sliced and wrapped the old fashioned plain loaf (How old fashioned? The machine was older than me).
Across from us was the donut machine. One morning a bloke loaded it up with a big batch of batter and set it going. He then went and fetched a bread board with a big pile of sugar and placed it so the donuts would fall in the sugar as they came off the machine. Just as the first pair were about to drop off, a call came for him over the PA to go to the front office. I bolted over and grabbed the two hot donuts, rolled them in the sugar, and bolted back behind the machine. Handing one to my mate, I bit into it. Total mental blankness - for a split second my brain actually told me it tasted of nothing - then it gave in and the horrible sensation of a salted donut hit me! Being helpful blokes, we waited till the operator came back and watched him try one. [lol] Fortunately only about 8 or 10 got wasted. Up in the flour loft, some nitwit had emptied a whole pallet's worth of bags of salt into the caster sugar hopper. Good thing the donut guy had taken some, as otherwise a lot of baked stuff could have turned out a disaster. I heard that they had once had to scrap a whole shift's worth of cream-filled stuff for the same reason.

Better own up to my own one while I'm at it. One Valentine's Day I had the evening planned. Pate, French bread and a side salad to start, followed by a paprika chicken thing with noodles. Well we ate the first course and then I dished up the main to SWMBO. As I was putting my own portion on the plate she tried it, and discovered it was a bit hot - so hot in fact we couldn't eat it. Stupid spice company, putting paprika and cayenne pepper in identical containers, and expecting people to read the label!

What? Red cayenne pepper is the hot component in Chili powder. So what I used didn't have the other milder components.

I parked my car in the coop car park a few weeks ago and went in to do my shopping.
Behind me came a man who kindly told me that he'd noticed that one of my brake lights wasn't working. 'Its the one on the drivers side' he said.
Without thinking I answered 'Front or back?'
OOPS!!!!

My friend was once intrigued why peppers fitted so well into the boxes in the grocers (??) Her boyfriend at the time told her they had been redesigned to fit into them. She believed him..!!!

My standard one used to be putting my glasses on the top of my head (think trendy sunglasses) and then spending ages looking for them. :lol:

2 Blonde stories:

One evening the other week, my flatmates and i were watching tv, when an advert came on... featuring an animated dog, in a car, talking about the car.... my flatmate piped up: " That is SOO strange - the dog has a seat-belt on...." Like the whole talking business is quite the norm.. hahaha

Was celebrating my friends 21st in a Thai restaurant in the city centre... meals took a while to arrive as it was busy, so with a few glasses of wine, i actually forgot what i had ordered.. It eventually arrived, and half way through i concluded: "Mmm.. kind of tastes like grass, but in a lemony way...?" Yup, Thai green lemongrass curry. Idiot!
