The amount of times I’ve driven there after work, then walked home only to notice that my car isn’t on the drive when I get home. Classic head in the clouds autopilot! | |

Scrambled egg (not) on toast on 08:38 - Jun 10 with 2829 views | mingthemerciless | One guy I worked with had taken one of the works vans home at night. It was parked outside his house. We were waiting for him outside the workshop ready to set off on the job when he arrived on his bike. One of us said " Where's the van Fred ? " He said " Bloody Hell, I've left it at home ! " He'd walked right past it and set off on his bike. [Post edited 10 Jun 2018 8:38]

You had probably been queuing up for so long that you'd forgotten what day it was, never mind how you'd got there... | |

Scrambled egg (not) on toast on 19:45 - Jun 10 with 2701 views | Scunnydale | Love this thread. When I was a kid, I'd just eaten my tea but had left some, and my mum told me to take the pots back to the kitchen. Next thing, I find myself upstairs and in my bedroom. In the shock, I drop the dishes and rice goes everywhere. Explaining to my mum why I'd done that was a tricky one... | | | |

Yes, it's something we've all done at one time or another | |

Scrambled egg (not) on toast on 09:43 - Jun 11 with 2527 views | cumbria_dale | Lost my wallet even though I knew it was somewhere in the house, but after searching high and low for hours, I admitted defeat and rang to cancel all my cards and write-off the £30 that was in there in cash. Later that night I fancied some ice cream and low and behold - wallet tucked in next to the waffles and peas in the freezer. [Post edited 11 Jun 2018 9:43]

Also enjoying this thread and your post in particular. Often wondered what they meant on the news when they talked about a credit freeze. Voila. | |

Scrambled egg (not) on toast on 10:47 - Sep 18 with 2187 views | DaleiLama | Quick update on my latest autopilot moment. Toasted 2 slices of bread (are you taking notes DA ). Peanut butter on first slice. Don't use butter with peanut butter as there's enough fat there already. Strawberry jam on the second. Oh - look - there's no butter on it. Ever tried putting the butter on after the jam? Car crash breakfast | |

Scrambled egg (not) on toast on 15:21 - Sep 18 by DaleiLama | I'm in (anaphylactic) shock you don't like PB. Go easy taking those corners on the landing at speed too. I hope word of my brekker misdemeanours don't spread. I would like to preserve my dignity. The thought sends Chivers down my spine. |
It's not that i don't like PB, i've just got an aversion to it since trying to achieve my PB on the landing ended badly | |

Scrambled egg (not) on toast on 16:01 - Sep 18 with 2021 views | Cleedale | Dale related this one! In the early 1990s, completed 3 full journeys to Spotland and back to see one match against Burnley. 3 X 226 miles = 678. The first 2 had been postponed (rightly so) from waterlogged pitches but at least got to see the moonlight (floodlights) reflecting on the pitch as proof! Obv., pre-internet and iPhone days so info was very hard to come by. Think there was this extortionate Dale phone line which seldom was updated - how times have changed. 3rd match was played - seem to remember a biggish crowd - and we needed to win (I think) to get a Play-Off spot. Did we take the lead but ended losing 3-1 to Burnley who won the league. Don't do mad things like that anymore but do do the sugar in fridge and milk in the cupboard job! | | | |

Half way through i realised i wasnt in the bathroom but had opened the wardrobe door and was using it as the loo! | | | |

Drive to town, go shopping [few years ago now] and then walk home, only remembering car was parked up in town a few day later when i went to garage, took a while to remember what i had done after almost calling the law and reporting a breaking! Put dog food in breakfast bowl, and cereals in dogs bowl! Just as well my balls are in a bag! | | | |

Scrambled egg (not) on toast on 00:42 - Sep 20 with 1723 views | robtheb | Once when I was staying in a B & B I put orange juice on my cereal. As there were others sat around me and not wanting to appear to be an idiot I ate the lot...not very nice. Also, I have an habit of pointing my car remote at the front door of the house in an attempt to open it. | | | |

The thread that keeps on giving. Funny slightly related tale - when I was a student, we went out for a curry with a medic who was wearing a tie. Got back to the house and the cat went to sit on the medic. It got up later and someone said "what's that on your tie?" The medic said "oh, it must be curry sauce." It was brown but it wasn't curry sauce | |

Scrambled egg (not) on toast on 09:54 - Sep 20 with 1607 views | Scunnydale | As a school kid (about 8, I think), I heard the bell go so I started walking home. Got about halfway home (a mile from school) and realised it was a bit quiet. Turns out it was just the bell for the afternoon break. Ran back to school, turning up late and sweaty for my next lesson. | | | |
Scrambled egg (not) on toast on 13:15 - Feb 13 with 1289 views | DaleiLama | It's been a while, but a new memory-addled tale to add to this thread. Making cheese on toast for lunch. Put grill on. Put kettle on. Loaded tea ball. Cut bread. Got Worcester sauce and chilli sauce to put on cheese as it melts. Mashed tea. Sliced cheese. Looked everywhere for bread as cheese ready for loading. Could smell toast but nothing under grill. Found bread toasting in toaster! Auto-pilot strikes again!!! Fortunately, my toaster (like a lot seem to) toasts more on one side than the other and it hadn't finished toasting when I spotted my error so was able to switch to the grill and salvage a pleasant lunch out of it. | |

Autopilot has a lot to answer for! But what's a tea ball? | |
