D'oh! D'oh! D'oh!

We've just gone out to clean the cars a bit - windows and lights.
My car wouldn't respond to the unlocker on the key fob. Then it wouldn't unlock at the actual door. Then I noticed the door was slightly open.
Shoved the door proper shut, and could then lock/unlock it (but not the central locking).
Absolutely not a click when I turn the key - it's not even trying to start.

Door not closed properly Friday night = drained battery by Sunday afternoon = car not doing anything (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Have sent an email to my boss saying I'll be working from home, and am about to leave my mechanic a message asking if he could come and rescue me from my dippiness on Monday at some point!! Battery is old enough that it will probably be better to replace than try to recharge from totally flat...

Very silly thing to have done. Not the end of the world by any means, just very silly. D'oh, again!


But don't leave me alone in my silliness, what have you done lately that's daftly-not-good ?

Got myself locked in my son's loo.

Went to see his new cesspit flat and was relieved that despite the fug, the beer bottles and the chaos, it was nice and warm. After over an hour's drive to get there, I needed to use the bathroom so I said "I'll just pop in there for a minute" - and then when I tried to get out, the handle moved up and down and nothing happened.

Didn't want to pound on the door too loudly because flatmate was still in bed (it was only half past 12 noon (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) )

No credit card to push between doorframe and door (does that really work?) or nail file to unscrew handle because handbag was in general doss arealounge.

Husband had been parking the car some distance away so was unaware of distress, and son too busy finding screwdriver to rescue mum to go and show dad which front door to use.

Emerged eventually to be informed that the bathroom door should never be closed. Eeewww! How can landlords accept rent for places like this?

We were going out to recorder group the other night when the passenger door latch froze solid (with the door open (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif) ). With the central locking locked it did hold closed though, so entry and exit for both parties was via the driver's door.

I took a letter to the post office to buy a stamp for it, saw the postbox outside, posted the letter - and then went in to buy the stamp. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif)

Got all the way down to the bus stop having just missed one bus so waited 10 minutes for the next one. Bus duly arrived, I flagged it down only to then realise I'd forgotten the large quantity of letters I needed to take with me to post. I'm in a top floor flat too....

Oh I have so many of these...

Boiled up the remains of sunday roast chicken with onions, celery carrots etc to make lovely stock for soup. Smelling divine. Go into kitchen, drain stock - straight down plughole saving soggy veg remains.

Doh!

Am I allowed more than one?!

I suppose it depends if your D'oh is fixed or movable (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

I have done something similar - cooked homemade tortellini in a lovely broth (that is how they are served here - my MIL makes the broth (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blush.gif) ) and then tipped the broth down the sink! Husband was not impressed!

I have dozens of these - here is the worst:

I went to my bedroom (in the middle of the afternoon) to change my shirt. As soon as I started to unfasten buttons I went onto autopilot. Ten minutes later I found myself lying in bed, eyes closed, waiting to fall asleep!

There was also the time that my mother sent me to the shop (with her last two shillings before pay-day) to buy a loaf. I came back with a packet of cornflakes.

Can we post them on behalf of our nearest and dearest too?
I got a text the other day from an unknown number saying "This is my new number, you can use it if I don't reply on the other one"

Um, yes I certainly shall, at least, once I find out who you actually are...
