Loaded the washing machine, poured in the detergent, then forgot to turn in on. Walked back an hour later to put clothes in the drier and found the clothes were still dry. Doh!

2nd or 3rd time I've done that. Need to cut back on the crack.

My old roommate would ALWAYS forget to dry his clothes...I would always find them when I had to do my own laundry

I've lost that switch in yer head that you use to zone in and out of what the Mrs is saying, and it's continually off atm.

I keep walking into rooms to be asked "did you do X?" Only to meet this witha slightly quizical look on my face.

So continuous stupidity or old age reigns here.

I know the feeling, I regularly walk into rooms with no recollection of why or how I got there.

Happens with me too, I can put a pen down then it may as well have disintegrated.

Pens are feast or famine. Sometimes I can't find one to save my life. Sometimes I empty my pocket at night and find 5 or 6. Weird.

I continuosly lose thing, like my wallet or phone and spend ages looking for them, only to find they're in my pocket hours later!

EDIT: also make typos on Dakka too often!

EDIT to the EDIT: Typo, dammit!

Aye, that happens all too often with me. I blame old age.

Pens are the spawn of the devil. The sooner we can write just by thinking the words in our head and staring at paper, the better.

Hmmm one of the unspoken hassles of modern society - TOO MANY DAMN POCKETS!!!!

If only there was a solution to this crime against humanity! Perhaps a bag of some sort that a man could hold in his hands? If someone could solve that quandary they'd be rich.

What's worse is my nasty habit of "putting things away" in the wrong place then completely forgetting I put it away, I'll go fetch a screwdriver to open up my PC then seemingly moments later it's gone until I check the fridge for milk and notice it nestled between the eggs.

I feel your pain. It once took me three days to find my good hammer because I had apparently decided to place it under a loaf of bread.

I've done that to...whew...glad I'm not alone in that

I still don't know how the hell my keys got in the freezer that time.

Done that with both LoL and DakkaDakka.

My gums got infected because of my damn wisdom teeth. Seriously, they are like 90% of the way it, my jaw has room, everything is smooth sailing then suddenly (well, progressively worse over a few days) the most intense pain ive ever been in.
anyway the stupid thing was me going to school with a fever and gum pain (I went to the dentist and found out they were infected that night) trying to keep up my perfect attendance. tomorrow rolls along and

yesterday was the first day ive missed school in 3 years

it hurts to eat, it hurts to drink, it hurts to open my mouth wide, etc etc.

i just dropped all my dinner, EVERYWHERE. well that's my dinner gone...

I snorted one of those fruit punch powder things. But I earned like 3 bucks, so it was ok.

I knew a guy who snorted a line of pepper for $1. I think he's got you beat.

Actually, my friend did chilli powder in a truth or dare, funniest thing I have ever seen!

I ate the center of a jalepeno for the fun of it. But then it became very un-fun.

That's what my friend found, he was rolling on the floor clutching his nose for about five minutes, the rest of us were in stitches!

Yeah, do that as well.

Two things, one of them isn't me but is still ridiculously stupid.

On my part, it has to be choosing a phsyics experiment for my coursework that, were I to do all the maths, involves chaos theory.
Which I can't do.

On my school's part, is that there is currently a boy in many of my classes who has foot and mouth disease, which is highly contagious, however as it has only presented itself as a rash, the boy in question is not allowed time off school to stop him from infecting the rest of us.

Fall ill just before starting new job. Its either man-flu or chest infection, not good when new job is working in a hospital looking after the elderly.

I assume you mean hand, foot and mouth disease. The last case of FMD recorded in humans in the UK was in 1966, and it is incredibly unlikely you could develop it anyway, due to the sensitivity to stomach acid that the virus has, making catching it through consumption of infected meat a veritable impossibility unless it is in the mouth. HFMD, however, is much more prevelant in humans, especially young children, but also those adults with decreased immunity.

I read up on capsaicin at one point and found out it gets you high in large enough quantities. Being the genius that I am, I loaded the bowl with ground habanero. I went across the room in less than a second. I had a good little buzz for a few minutes though

Tequila shots on a Tuesday...

Doing an all nighter on my physics coursework, which is due in tomorrow, even though I've spent over 20 hours on it so far.

Wait, soy sauce shots are bad for you? I drink it from the bottle, same with vinegar... (Neither very often nor in stupid quantities, but they are very nice)
