going into another room for something and forgetting what it is when you get there

Playing golf after holing out on the 3rd green, I put the my putter on the hole and carried the flagstick to my golf bag. God knows why it took me so long to realise what I’d done as they are completely different shapes & sizes. Hilarious!

Arrived home late at night & knowing i had an early start for work in the morn, thought i would be organised, so i laid out all my clothes ready to put on.

In the I morn couldn't find the knickers i'd laid out anywhere so quickly got another pair, got dressed & off to work.

In my break went into the cloakroom & saw my coat hanging up with something purple hanging from it. Thought "that's strange". Upon closer inspection found it was my missing knickers!! They'd attached themselves to the velcro on my coat. I was mortified !!
I work in a supermarket so i'd walked through the whole length of the supermarket, amongst shoppers with a pair of knickers hanging from my coat!!!

I wish this thread could run all year round!

Just remembered in February I went to the dentist but the receptionist couldn't find my appointment. I showed her my appointment card and she worked out it was from last year (it only showed the day and month). At least she knows me well enough to laugh!

Visiting my sister's house for a Boxing Day buffet....whilst helping with the preparations I was nibbling on some turkey. A few moments later I was told hysterically that I'd been eating from the dogs dish. Well...I'd forgotten my specs and it was a mistake anyone could make....????

My nails were in a state and we were going to a wedding and I told my wife my nails needed manuring.

Been baking scones for so many years now so never look at the recipe. However I think now is the time to do just that and follow instructions as my latest batch I mixed together without adding the butter. My memory only kicked in during the taste test!

My husband asked me if I was wearing a fornicator to our nephew’s wedding! I soon established he meant a fascinator.

I searched high and low for my reading glasses for at least 30mins before my son informed me they were on my head.

A lady with dementia pointed at my shoes and asked 'why are they different colours?' In my rush to leave for work , I had put on the same style shoes but one was brown and the other one black .

When the clocks went back an hour in October we forgot and turned up for masss an hour early we normally late, the elderly lady who arrives early to put hymn books out etc had a chuckle" we slunk off embarrassed to return later ?

Leaving my dog outside the bank and forgetting to collect her before going home. I only remembered when I put food in her dish then called her and she didn't appear!

went out for the day in odd shoes but there were both black xx

While out with my husband, we saw a lady and husband said hello. We chatted for a few minuets and when walking away I said, 'Who's that lady'?, my hubby said' I don't know, who is she'. We had to laugh but the main thing was we probably cheered the lady up by giving her time to stop and talk.

The senior moment came when it was my turn to sort out the white wash, shoving the clean bundles into his and hers chests-of-drawers.

My husband often grabbed handfuls of large handkerchiefs for his trouser pockets and later that day we visited an all-bachelor household where the star was their Jack Russell terrier whose tricks included stealing handkerchiefs from men's pockets and running away.

The full force of my earlier senior moment dawned when I witnessed my husband's pocket being deftly picked, followed by an ungainly tussle as he realised my big white mama pants were being shaken like a rat in front of all present and then stretched well beyond XXL as Hero and dog fought it out for possession of the trophy.

At least they were clean.

I think my daftest was shortly after I had retired. I drove quite a long way to where I had worked before realising I was no longer working.

The Christmas preparations must be getting to me, as only the other day my husband proclaimed that 'I had really lost it'.
I had put the butter dish (with butter inside) on top of the fridge, and the cling film IN the fridge!!

I was looking forward to the Christmas Fayre at my local Church , Presented myself in time for the opening-no one about ??? checked the poster --I was a week early !

me and my sister were looking in some shops with mother ,as you do we wandered around looking at things when suddenly we heard mother having a conversation about an item she was looking at saying she thought it was expensive well we didn't know where to look nor did mother when she saw she was talking to one of the assistants who had gone to put something on the shelf next to her ,mother thought it was us ,well needless to say we went out pretty quickly red faced alround but had a laugh about it later ,

Not had too many major moments, but lots of every day ones like going to a room and forgetting why on earth I went in first place

I went into a shop to buy a new swimsuit and the assistant who was clearly wearing a rather awful obvious wig asked me when I was going on holiday. And I replied "in 4 wigs time"! The silence was deafening!

I drove to the paper bank in a nearby village. While I was driving home, I suddenly had a vision of myself putting the car keys on top of the paper bank while I stuffed the papers in. 'Oh no', I thought,' I have left my car keys on top of the bin!' So I turned the car round and DROVE back to the bin.....!

Not mine.
A few months ago I went to use the bathroom loo only to find a pair of pyjamas in there. The laundry basket was just a few feet away. Will DH ever live that down ?

Yesterday I found a carton of hummus in the dishwasher.

Popped into town in my car to do some shopping and returned on the bus using my bus pass. Had to return on the bus to pick up my car!
