I decided to have scrambled egg on toast for lunch. Got the bread out, started the scrambled egg, buttered the bread, put the egg on it - then realised i'd forgotten to toast it

In a sort of similar vein I saw my former neighbour recently and said "Hello Tracey, when's it due?"
"I'm not pregnant"
"Oh"
I have a mate who used to refer to a fella he knew as 'tinhead' as he explained to me due to an accident where he had to have a metal plate in his head. Anyway my wife was with me at my friends wedding and we had to share a car with 'tinhead' and my wife happened to suddenly ask "why do they call you tinhead"? To which tinhead replied...
"They don't"!
The rest of the car journey passed in no time at all! (honest).

Its a BRILLIANT goal to cap a BRILLIANT start by Rochdale - Don Goodman 26/08/10
I once bought a tub of ice cream in the Regal. I was so engrossed in the film I threw away the tub ( un-eaten ! ) and kept the lid. I could hear the tub rolling down to the front of the cinema.
I used to work a the infirmary where we had to wear white coats that we would put in the laundry bag at the end of each day. One day while eating an apple at 5.00 I proceeded to put the apple core in the laundry bag and then walked across the department and threw my white coat into the trash. Still hadn't realised what I had done until a colleague who had been watching pointed it out. Very Bizarre as I am not sure I had done that before or done anything like that since ( when sober !!)

I went through a phase of always losing wallets, keys, I.D etc when I was on nights out. Also used to Black out a lot when shitfaced. The amount of times I used to wake up on a bench or in a strangers house with no recollection of how I got there was unreal. Needless to say I don’t drink to that extent anymore and always avoid the devils buttermilk (bourbon)

Autopilot thread - tremendous …… where do I start?
Regularly get to another room in the house and have to go back to where I started to look for clues as to why I went there in the first place.
Three of my most senior moments were:
Getting taxi back from a business trip after landing at Ringway and thinking "who's nicked my motor" when I got home before getting the bike out and cycling back to the long stay car park to collect it.
Leaving the freezer door open all night in my garage.
Loading up the car at the start of a business trip with hands full, putting travel mug full of scalding coffee on car roof then driving off with it still there.
……….. to name but a few. Wonder why I have been "jokingly" called memory-man? Still the right side of 60 so God knows what I'll be like in 10 years time.
Regarding the OP - when did you realise the bread wasn't toasted DA - pre or post egg cooking? If pre, there was a potential workaround - heat a sandwich toaster up, chuck the bread on buttered side down, crack an egg and any other fillings you may have fancied onto one of the slices, close her up and Bob's your uncle. Toast and egg.

No, I didn't cry.

To be fair you could have gone back for it next day it might have thawed by then. Them tubs were proper frozen enough to give your fingers frost bite, them wooden spoons always snapped you stood no chance of scooping the ice-cream until on the bus home.
This is not the time for bickering.

Making yourself a cup of tea but forgetting to boil the water so it's stone cold when you take a sip.
I used to do that pretty often until I bought a kettle with a little series of lights on the handle. Blue is cold, green is luke warm, and red is boiling. Great idea.

I'm all for workarounds, but on this occasion i decided to suffer the consequences of my absent-mindedness - but even that didn't work out! It tasted just fine, like eating egg with huge 'soldiers' which i hadn't had since i was a kid...
My worst memory glitch is remembering people's names. I can forget what people are called that i've known for years, which can lead to some really 'interesting' moments! Having said that...
...what was I going to say? Erm...
Erm...
Oh yes! I have a deep suspicion of people who're great at remembering names after meeting people just once. I wonder what their brains are missing out on, using up so much space with stuff like that

For me, soldiers have to be cold-buttered toast with a bit of rigidity to get the full dip and scoop action. A floppy soldier = a big disappointment. But that's probably a whole new thread ………..

As an alternative, there's always "buttering the egg" if the soldier won't go in, even when toasted
Has anyone else ever driven to the wrong place because they've been on "automatic pilot"? Taken the route to work for example when it's Saturday morning and you wanted to go to Tesco?

Yes - after moving to the other side of town, i regularly used to go straight on at the lights towards Roch Valley Way instead of turning right up Manchester Road; and i'm talking months afterwards!

Me too, I'm great with faces but awful with names. Same with remembering rounds at the bar, if it's more than three drinks I have to write it down !
Yet I could take huge machines apart with hundreds of pieces and remember how they all went back together weeks after. Weird.

Once went three junctions of the M6 motorway past where I should have turned off (A50) but I was on the (hands free) phone making a business call.
Also, was planning on picking up the M61 from the East side of Manchester M60 and before I knew it I was on Broadway heading towards Spotland. Should use the Satnav with spoken directions more even when I know where I'm going!
