Some of the beverages we offered was fresh, hot coffee. A gentleman walked in and asked for a coffee with lots of cream. Not a problem, says I. I pull out the cream, take the lid off, and my boss reminds me to shake it first. Not a problem, I think again, and shake the (open, lidless carton of light cream) sending cream all over the floor, counter, fridge, etc. Everyone in the deli just stopped and stared at me for a few of the longest seconds of my life. Made me rethink so much of my life.

Deployed, heard word of an unidentified drone flying relatively close to our area, so I’m just sitting there staring up at the night sky. I really have never seen a drone during the night time, so I didn’t really know what altitude to expect them to be flying at, or if they had lights on, so I was pretty clueless. This dim light catches my eyes as I’m scanning the sky and I focus in on it. The light seems to be getting bigger and bigger, and I couldn’t figure out what it was. So i ended up calling it up over the radio for the guys I was working with to come outside and take a look. They came outside, looked at the light in the sky I was pointing at, looked back at me, and then called me a dumbass. It was clouds slowly drifting in front of the moon. So I think that one was a mix of my own stupidity and tiredness

I guess it's ironic in some ways, but when I allow myself to be baited into replying to an idiotic stupid person/comment. That's pretty dumb in itself although it's tempting as f**k (check my history, I just did it, lol). I'm either feeding a troll or allowing my emotions to be somewhat aggravated, and over what? Over text on a screen from someone I'll never meet and who has NO influence on my life (other than what I give them) whatsoever. I may as well be arguing with a bot and it's not like you ever change someone's opinion or bring them to a realization *they're* the idiot. Not gonna happen. What's the saying, oh yeah. Don't argue with a stupid person, they'll drag you down to their level and beat you with experience. I've been downvoted before because of being misread and I felt like "noooooo, you don't understand, I'm not the idiot you thought I was I'm actually smart, nooooo" - like holy Christ, what was I thinking, it's *meaningless*.

Mine happened just over a week ago. I work on a ferry, right before rough seas I was asked to sweep out the walk in freezer. No big deal. Rough seas happened, I heard a bang in dry storage next to me, set down my broom and dust pan, closed the freezer door and went to go deal with something on wheels breaking free. Only as I was leaving, I didn't notice the broom fall and it managed to jam itself under the door latch, preventing it from opening. Engineers had to remove the door. Best part to me is while I was going through the ship safety training, my trainer pointed out that there is no boxes or anything stacked near the door incase something breaks free of the system in place to keep everything from falling, because sometimes it does depending on how rough it gets, yo prevent the latch on the inside from getting jammed. I really don't want to go back to work next week.....

During one of the Atlanta Braves' championship runs, the Cincinnati Reds were our closest competition and my family kept up with their score while we watched ATL. During one game, my mom asked if I had checked on the Reds' game. No Internet at the time, so we cruise through all the sports channels during breaks to find the score. Eventually we give up. My dad pops in to check on the Braves-Reds score. "Braves are winning, Dad, but we haven't found the Reds score even though they're scheduled to play." God bless my father: "That ain't the Reds batting?" Yes, Dad, yes, it is and Mom and I just spent over an hour being total idiots while watching the Reds and ATL play each other. 20+ years and my entire family (including Mom and me) still joke about it and ask if the Reds are playing or what their score is. The look my mom gives me can be withering when I ask her the score of the opposing team we are currently watching play an ATL team.

When I was a teenager, I was playing with my nephew who was a baby. He had one of those toys that attaches to a crib or wall with a suction cup and the baby can bat it around. I thought it would be funny to attach it to my forehead while playing with him. Spent a week with a perfectly round “hickey” on my forehead. I think that was the first time I used makeup. But hey, I was a fun aunt!

Well, once I searched for the remote, something like 30 minutes or so amd it was very inconvenient, since I had only one hand free at the time... I very rarely look for my glasses whilst wearing them but regularly freak out about the whereabouts of my phone when calling someone and wanting to check things (Google maps for instance).

Thanks for the advice! I'll try that! I sometimes get frustrated with the memory things, but this might help. Thanks so much 😸 But hey look on the bright side! Every movie I have ever watched before covid is all new to discover again, same with books! So I can sink back into the ones I remembered I loved, and they are all new for me to discover why again.

Since I got Covid, I can't smell the dog's farts. Wife and daughter are gagging and I'm like, what's the problem?

I can just feel myself getting stupider since high school. I've never had the greatest of memory, but now I definitely struggle with remembering lots of things and things I had come very easy to me are now harder. Getting older sucks.

I worked at a branch of an organisation where I was the only woman. Later on I got transferred to another branch and a friend of mine asked how many women does this branch has? I said three. But then I said four. There is one on maternity leave and she is a woman too. My friend replied "it's good that you cleared the one on maternity leave is a woman!"

Once (may more) I was standing around at a party hold a drink in my left hand. Someone ( may have been a pretty girl) asked me what time it was . . . so I proceed to turn my wrist to look at my watch and dumped the drink right on the floor.

The first time I was pregnant, I craved ice cream a lot. I went into the kitchen to get some ice cream, but there were plates in the freezer and no ice ream. I checked the cabinet where the plates were supposed to be. There was the ice cream, sadly melted.

I had temporary brain damage after an accident. During recovery I went to walk my dog one day, checked and double checked that I had everything, keys, leash, poop bags etc. Forgot to take my dog.
