Yeah, just a few weeks ago I went to do a shift at my voluntary job, and only realised when I came home that my trousers had been on back to front the whole night. My all time favourite of this kind of story is of a colleague who had taken some developers out to a site he was promoting. He went into his pocket for his calculator to run some numbers, and brought out the TV remote instead. He stood pressing numbers for a few seconds, totally confused why nothing was happening.

OMG - I did the same thing when my kids were young! Now when they bring it up, I tell them we were poor and couldn't afford tuna. They know better. I just laugh. For future reference to no one, since I'm certain that this will never happen to anyone in the future, the casserole wasn't ruined by adding the tuna later to the hot casserole.

Trying to get out the door to go to work while talking to my college kid on the phone while looking for .... My phone! I do this more frequently than I’d like to admit. Lol Bu I have a routine when I leave and part of that is holding my keys & my phone together in my hand when I leave. And I apparently ‘forget’ the phone is in my other hand at my ear listening I’ve done this. I have a mental checklist of items and what I do that’s really subconscious. I talk so infrequently on the phone while getting ready to leave that when I do it throws me completely off.

After visiting my college kid, I flagged down campus police (actual state troopers on this campus) to report that someone had taken my purse.
It was still in the car.
No, I did not flag them down again to admit that.

Panicking over being unable to find my car keys... which are already in the ignition.

/quote]It's good to have those standbys for the kids to be able to pull out. I made my son's favorite tuna casserole and left out the tuna. It's guaranteed to crack us all up when he brings it up. [/quote] I did that once too I said “we’re having tuna hot dish for dinner. Oh, wait. It’s just hotdish because I don’t think I added any tuna” Last weekend I had my SIL helping me look for the cap to a bottle... it was already screwed on.

When you step out on the front porch to toss out food scraps and realize you are only wearing a tshirt and panties.

Does looking in the restaurant restroom mirror while washing your hands after lunch and realizing your top is on inside out count for this thread? Asking for a friend. Done that. Strange that none of my friends noticed!😜

Put my phone in my bra because I didn’t have pockets, forgot about it and couldn’t find my phone all afternoon until it starts ringing while I’m in a meeting 😊😊

I was frantically searching on the floor for a lost contact lens... but it was in my eye the entire time (good thing I don't wear contacts anymore, right?)
One day a few months ago, dh forgot his phone when he left for work. I noticed it on his nightstand. My first thought... "I need to text him to tell him he forgot his phone". Duh.

Wow, I’ve done most of these! Inside out clothes, looking for glasses on my head, looking for phone while I’m talking on it (there are advantages to wired phones!), looking for keys that are in my hand but the worst = I tried to park the van in my in-laws garage when the roof carrier was on. Thank heavens I was going slow and there was only a little damage to the carrier and none to the garage. You know, I have SOME common sense despite these!
A friend of mine showed up to defend her masters thesis in pink fuzzy bedroom slippers. She didn’t notice until she was there and didn’t have time to go back home. She got her masters!

Rushed out the door once to meet up with family and later went to the restroom and as I was washing my hands looked in mirror and I only put mascara on one eye left other without. Oh, that's awesome!

My SIL’s friend lives near a convenience store/gas station. She frequently walks there for bread or milk. One day she stopped there to get gas and walked home. Didn’t realize it until she wanted to drive somewhere and her car was missing. Then she figured out that her car was still parked at the gas pump!

Ok, I was laughing so hard I couldn’t hardly read these out loud to my husband. These are fantastic.
My contribution to the thread is the time I tried to put a contract in the eye that already had a contact.

Well now, that is something I have done >>> worn my shirt inside out to work. One time I was the first one at the office so I just flipped it outside out at my desk. The 2nd time I went to the bathroom.

Trying to get out the door to go to work while talking to my college kid on the phone while looking for .... My phone! Yep! I'm guilty of that except it's usually my DH I'm talking to. It's such a habit to make sure I have my phone when I leave my house - that's my excuse anyway! Even better you text your DH from your phone to ask him if he’s seen your phone or if he will call it because you can’t find it! Ugh! Face palm!

Heading to the grocery store in DH's car, because the kids took mine. First, I'm sitting in the car pushing the ignition button trying to figure out why it won't start. Oh yeah, his car requires the key in the ignition and it's still on the hook upstairs. Mine has the keyless ignition. I get to the grocery store and can't figure out why it won't lock. Oh yeah, I have to push a button on the key. Mine just needs a quick press of the door handle to auto lock. I get out of the grocery store and can't find my car. Oh yeah, I didn't drive it. Now I have to figure out how to unlock it. Fumbling through my purse to find the key again to push the stupid little button. Finally, sitting in the car holding the key and pushing the ignition button trying to figure out why the car won't start.
I'm such a creature of habit.

Not me but my kids. They wanted to track me via iMessage to see where I was but I had left my phone at home. So DD says hang on, I’ll just track her using iMessage.

You spend 5 minutes trying to put the cordless phone back on the charger and then realize you have the TV remote not the phone! I did that yesterday!

When you're standing in the parking lot trying to get the key fob to open your car door when you realise that your car is parked four cars away from the one you are trying to get into. Same make,same colour.
When you search in vain, with the help of the attendant, who bless his heart was quite concerned that my car had been stolen,to find your car on the second floor of the multi storey car park only to suddenly have a light bulb moment and realised you parked on the third floor.
