Well....d'oh!

I've done that!!! Or at least tried to answer on it.

Just as well there's no one else here.....!!

Thank goodness there are others like me out there.

It's the DVD remote in this house. I blame DBH [of course!], he is always leaving them both on the footstool and I end up picking up the wrong one. It's my subconscious, I would rather be watching a DVD than making a call. Maybe the same for you?

It's even more fun when you're pressing keys on the remote and an incoming call comes through on it

Mum frequently did the opposite. Pointed the phone at the TV and would get very cross because the "damn thing doesn't work !"

I went out for the day after picking up remote instead of my mobile,very frosty reception when I came home

I am always rewinding with the remote if I mis-hear something on TV. Sometimes when I am out and about and see something unusual or whatever, it goes through my head 'oh I'll just rewind that'

Our old TV remote used to dim the lights, it used to drive us scatty, had to change the dimmer switches for traditional ones.

It's standing at the front door pressing my car key fob and wondering why the door doesn't open that gets me .......

Nightowl I do that too

Thank goodness there's another one Anya

More than one nightowl. I do to too

Do you realise that you have probably unlocked your car whilst trying to get in your door. ?

We have way too many "electronic tags" these days! I've been known to try and get into buildings using my Oyster card! Plus there was the time I tried to 'swipe your card' my way into a lift

Pompa

I've tried to pay for things with my Tesco Club card many times...

Just as I thought my marbles had well and truly skedaddled I read this thread and breathed a sigh of relief! Spent an hour looking for remote control and found it in the car.....honestly got no idea how it got there - and what the hell made me look in the car anyway!

Having spent an hour skipping through the adverts on a recorded program, I find myself trying to skip the ads on a live one too. (There's also a fault on my remote: it's got an OK button, but it hasn't got a No it f***ing well isn't OK button.)

I once poured the kettle into the coffee jar instead of the mug, but the occasion when I made myself look the biggest twit was when a woman with an A to Z stopped me in the street and asked directions. I showed her the way on the map: left here, right along there.... etc. etc. She looked puzzled, and then asked me to show her again: left here etc. etc. Then she asked again, and again. By the time I was beginning to think she was daft or something, I noticed that every time I showed her a right turn I was saying left, and left instead of right.

I felt a left idiot.

Oh I'm soooo glad I'm not the only one that does these idiotic things!! Was beginning to develop a complex!

Crun !

Brilliant Crun!

Mrs. P was trying to FF the adds last night on a live prog. We had recorded it because we couldn't see the first 10 min, soon caught up after a couple of ad breaks and were live again, Mrs. P didn't realise.

Been there done that. Pointed the electronic car key at the front door to try and unlock it. Tried to use the phone key pad as a calculator.
We cannot all be addled surely.
