The missing wife joke prompted my grey cells to remember something I read in Readers Digest about 30 years ago!

A lady drove to the shopping mall, parked the car, did her shopping, came out into the 10 acre car park and couldn't remember where she had parked the car!

In desperation she called the police who willingly drove her round the car park trying to find the car.

"I know it is a large Estate Wagon" she explained.

The police eventually said that they couldn't help any further and that she should contact her husband at work!

The lady called her husband who explained "That it was probably the ONLY vehicle in the car park with a 20 foot bright RED canoe on the roof!"

My mum recently had a whoopsie of a similar vein...

In the kitchen, cooking dads favourite beans on toast - in a moment of madness, she threw the beans in the bin and put the tin in the pan !!! 

I just happend to be visiting at the time and took great pleasure in pointing out her error...!

I once stared for over a minute into my washing machine, deep in contemplation.  It then occured to me that pizza goes in the oven.

'It's me age mate, me age...'

I heated my cooled down coffee in the microwave one early morning after I napped in my easy chair and let it cool. A bit groggy still, the beep went off signaling it was done. I stared inside the open door for a while before I realized I needed to look in the microwave, not the fridge.

Yikes!

Soon after I was born, my Mother took me out shopping in the pram. I was left outside the shop (something you could happily do in 1950), and did her shopping. On returning home, she showed her mother the shopping, and Granny asked her if she had forgotten anything. She then realised she had left me and the pram outside the shop. Fortunately, I was still there!

A couple of days ago I became very frustrated when I couldn't open the front door.  Then I realised I was using the car's remote key to open it.  Sigh...

Getting ready for bed one night I took my socks off and walked into the bathroom intending to throw them in the laundry bin. For some inexplicable reason I threw them in the toilet instead Luckily it was clean in there at the time!

Been there, done that on the way to the shower... 
At least I didn't pee in the laundry basket

Trust me, you are not alone. Done that more times than I'd like to remember and alcohol wasn't involved.

Only a few days ago, I actually put my coffee in the fridge instead of the microwave to heat up

I was supposed to go on a Dementia awareness course last week and forgot to go 

I couldn't find my car in a multi-story car park a few years ago, then realised I was in the wrong car park!

Back in the late 80's, one Saturday morning I got up early and drove from Hull to Leeds to attend a revision course for my professional exams.
Sitting in the classroom waiting for the course to start, I did notice everybody seemed to have 'Auditing' textbooks, rather than the 'taxation' books I had brought, but I didn't think too much of it.

When the tutor came in and started talking about auditing, I piped up and enquired about the taxtation course I was there to attend.
"No, taxation is tomorrow" she corrected.

Well, you can imgaine how red-faced I was, as I collected my stuff and made to leave the classroom, but it was tempered, somewhat, when I saw another student following me out as she had made exactly the same mistake.

Accountants; clowns

Back in the 1960s I had a transit van kitted out as a camping van. One morning I stopped in the main car park somewhere and had a coffee brew up. t was a nice morning and I drank the coffee whilst checking the straps holding the canoe on top. Getting back in the van I set off with the sliding drivers door wide open . Half way across the car park a guy leapt out in front of me and screamed 'STOP'.
I did and my coffee mug shot off the van roof, along the bonnet and onto the ground. 
It of course smashed and I had to buy another one  :'(
