Ridiculous mistakes !

Not me the dog. I used to have a Belgian shepherd. Very well behaved I might add but when she became elderly she would come off the beach and walk along the parked cars and when she found one with the back open she would jump in
Tried taking her to Specsavers

A few months ago, I went to my parked car after a swimming session. My key fob wouldn't work, and I couldn't get into my locked car. I tried, several times, then sat on a bench, wondering what to do - it was then that I suddenly realised I'd been standing next to the wrong car, which was a different make and year, just the same color as mine (and parked 3 places away)

After reading all the above comments and having a good laugh, I am definitely going to have my eyes tested again.

I tried to get in the car of a strange man.

He was parked outside my workplace and I thought he was someone else, even when he tried to pull away.

I ran alongside, trying to open the door.

More than once, I have either pulled up behind traffic only to realize they are parked cars. Or the opposite, gone into the right hand lane thinking they parked cars and they're not.

I want to assure Fair2good that you will not get glaucoma after having cataracts removed.

In my case it was something I inherited from my mom. Gotta love those genes. Unfortunately those things happen.

Doctors actually discovered I already had glaucoma while I was being prepped for cataract surgery. That was a good Dr as no other eye Dr ever noticed my symptoms or blind spots before. Take care of your eyes! Everything is very treatable these days.

Should have gone to Specsavers.

I'm not so good, tictacnana. I'm vegan, but when I was digging today, I put all the little worms on the bird table for the robins - as they're feeding chicks already. They need to eat other creatures but I don't.

I thought that I was alone in rescuing worms and bugs. Seems like I’m in good company. Bless you all.

I didn`t have my glasses on, saw a sultana on my coffee table, from the scone that I had eaten. Popped it into my mouth and chewed.

Yikes it tasted vile, I spat it out, it was a wood louse

My mum hobbled out to hang some washing on her line, wearing my dad's old anorak, and his old slippers.

The door slammed shut and she couldn't get back in.

So she ended up hobbling round to mine, but realised after the long walk, that I was working a 12.5 hour shift.

I came home at almost 11pm to find her sitting on my doorstep.

I popped outside to the bin, minus my specs, and saw what I thought was a large leaf. It was a dead rat. I won't do that again.

My thoughts were exactly the same - as I still have some carpet beetles emerging, after great effort to get rid of them last year.

Oh, I hope not! They were only in the ensuite (no carpet) but I will check, thank you for the tip.

I picked off what looked like a piece of black fluff from the shower door and it felt hard. Turned out to be a tiny black ladybird. Then I found two more in the windowsill.
They must be waking up.

Are you sure they are not carpet beetles? Last summer we kept finding these on window sills in our house and after close examination and identifying them online, discovered they were carpet beetles. very tiny and black with slight markings. We have found some again this year and have been vacuuming like mad all the cracks and crevices because they can cause a lot of damage.

I'm petrified of the blighters!
I can sense them, I'm sure.

I try and be kind but I hate spiders!

Friend invited a group for coffee. One lady asked to use the bathroom but came scurrying back upset because the tortoise had been eying her up.
It was made of stone!

My ex went and tidied up, weeded, and repainted his mums grave plot (?)
The headstone was away, as it hadn't had his mums name added on it yet.

After a couple of hours, he phoned his nephew to complain that the headstone still hadn't been put in place.

His nephew asked him to pan around with his phone, then explained that nans stone had been put back, on her grave, which was in the next row.

My MIL went to Canada and was amazed at the enormous swans floating on the lake. She sent us photos and on close up we saw they were pedalos shaped like swans!

Things on the side of the road at night can be optical illusions, so you can’t always fault your cataracts for misseeing. Nor the fluff on the carpet.

I’ve done that myself - ready to do a catch and release for a crawly creature only to find out it is a dark feather.

I’ve had both cataracts removed and now have glaucoma. Your cataracts will only get worse! You may be facing surgical removal -which is a piece of cake.

My advice - TAKE. CARE. OF. YOUR. EYES!

Totally agree. Should you be driving at night?

These stories just made my day....can't stop laughing...

My husband once stopped on a country lane to let the ‘ducks’ cross. It was dried leaves 🍂, I had trouble controlling myself 🤣🤣

I went into the bathroom and saw a black beetle in the bath. Thinking this ridiculously huge item must be plastic, and one of my dear Dad's little 'jokes' I tried to pick it up - and it wriggled and ran. My screams alerted several neighbours. I can laugh about it now, sixty odd years later. OH has been known to spend ages helping tiny creatures out from the utility room into the garden, and my dear friend fell into a pond at a garden centre while trying to rescue a dragonfly that she thought was drowning. It wasn't.
