    Semi-relevant.

    I once went to school (4th grade) having changed completely...except for my pajama top. Didn't notice til I unzipped my sweater.

      The pants thing.... guilty as charged.

      See, in warm weather, I usually hang out around the house in my boxers. I don't exactly get a lot of visitors at the house, and if I don't have to be anywhere..... well, what's the point of getting dressed?

      Anyway, it was a nice warm summer day, I was off work for the next four days, the grass needed to be cut, and my brain was in neutral. I wandered out to the shed, fired up the riding mower, and proceeded to run that machine for a good 1-1/2 to two hours before I realized that I was not, as they say, 'fully clothed'. But did I run inside to find trousers? No, thank you. I had only about 20 minutes of work to finish, so I soldiered on.

      MUCH to the delight of the next-door neighbor's (very much underage) daughter, who was watching me and laughing hysterically at the 'crazy old man next door', and the mortification of my then-fiancee, who showed up to see her intended tooling around the yard in his shorts.

      F*ck 'em. It isn't like wearing boxers is 'putting on a show' anyway.

        I have gotten as far as driving half way down my road before realising I still had slippers on, not shoes. I have also spent way too long looking for my phone while holding it in my hand.

          Rob does the military thing of wearing those little silky sort of running shorts as underwear. Well, around the house any time the weather is warm enough as well too. Works for me, when I was a civilian nuke I used a one piece bathing suit as my underwear, made for less issue when stripping out of anti-contamination clothing and heading back to get into regular clothing. I can do probably the worlds most boring strip tease ... *sigh*

              I've forgotten my wallet several times recently (switching between bags seems to cause this problem for me. Working on finding a bag that covers enough different circumstances that I can reduce or eliminate switching). Very embarrassing when I decide to do some shopping or stop for a meal/snack on the way home.

              I've also done the panic "OMG, where are my KEYS?????". While driving.

                I've found that keeping an attractive handbag inside a smartish backpack works for me. I can take all my junk with me to work in the backpack (book, mp3 player, umbrella, carrier bags, etc.) while my keys/purse stay in the handbag, which gets pulled out when we sometimes walk down the road to the pub for lunch.

                  Sometimes, I'll be looking for my phone because it's "lost" and I'll realise it's either in my hand or playing music next to me.

                  I also do the same with sunglasses.

                    I've been known to do the "OMG I forgot my KEYS!!" bit while driving.

                      Local radio host this morning had a story about his lost phone today.

                      Apparently he got home and started looking for his cell phoen and couldn't find it. So he started at the door to his house and retraced his steps, multiple times (3 times) with no luck.

                      He then started to go out to check his car, and stopped just before leaving the house. Apparently he remembered his lost phone while getting changed so he was in a state of undress/semidress. So he backtracked inside, got dressed, checked the car, no phone.

                      Next he called the restaurant he had eaten at. Waitress says she would check, puts him on hold. Another waitress picks up the phone, and he tells her that someone is looking for his phone, so she says she'll go help look. A few moments later, a THIRD waitress (waiter maybe) picks up the phone, and he repeats his story again, so that waitress says she'll go help look as well.

                      Few minutes later, the first waitress comes back on the phone speaking cheerfully, giving him the impression she found his phone. She didn't. So he thanked her (and them) for searching and hung up....

                      ... And noticed the cell phone plugged in and charging next to the phone he was calling from, six inches from where he usually put it.

                      I laughed, along with his cohost; but I can relate. I've certainly had that selective blindness many times myself.

                        I thought about this thread when I read a story on another discussion forum:

                        From a friend:

                        She was trying to hurry to get her young daughter and herself out the door. She was roaring around, trying to get ready and had a constant monologue going along the line of: "Come on! Come on! Come on! We gotta go! Come on, getcher stuff and get out to the car. We have to leave right now, come on! Hurry! Grab your bag! Come on!"

                        Friend grabbed her daughter's hand and started pulling her out to the car. Daughter kept saying, "But Mommy! Mommy! But Mommy!" Friend was having none of it, kept a firm grip on daughter's hand and kept up the monologue.

                        They got in the car and started on their way, with the daughter still exclaiming "But Mommy!" and friend cutting her off each time with more monologue.

                        As friend pulled onto the main highway, still running the monologue, and hit the gas, she looked down. Bra and panties, and nothing else.
                        It's post number 955 on this thread: http://www.etiquettehell.com/smf/ind...pic=102719.945

                        Though I'm not sure it's in an area that can be seen by unregistered users.

                          I've got a couple food-related.

                          1) I was around 7 years old. My mother had put the kettle on to boil for coffee, and had got busy with something else. The kettle boiled, and to be helpful, I made a cup of coffee for her. Take the jar with the red lid (instant coffee), put a heaping teaspoon of the brown stuff inside into a mug, and fill with boiling water. How was I supposed to know that beside the jar of instant coffee, there was a jar from the same brand that she was re-using to store the ground coffee used on special occasions?

                          2) My first encounter with Ferrero Rocher candy. Remove the paper cup from the foil-wrapped ball. Looks like a bit of caramel spilled into the cup, so I go to eat it - tastes AWFUL. Note to candy manufacturers: DO NOT use a caramel-coloured hot melt glue to fasten your packaging together.
                          Any fool can piss on the floor. It takes a talented SC to shit on the ceiling.
