In the last 24 hours
- Put pepper instead of salt in my porridge
- Biked halfway to work realised I'd forgotten my ID tag
- Got excited when I saw I had a new email, then realised it was from me
- Accidently sent myself an email that I meant to send to someone else
- Took a big hard bite on my apple and managed to somehow bite the ulcer on my lip at the same time
- Hit myself in the head with a pot - seriously - accidentally too!
- Heated a knife on the stove to assist with chopping frozen meat, then pressed down on the knife with my finger. I now have a very straight edged burn scar :)
- Dropped a jar on my big toe nail. I now have a beautiful blue toe nail
- Put the indicator on in the car instead of putting the windscreen wiper on
- Put the back windscreen wiper on instead of the front one
- Opened the fridge in such a way that an egg from the egg holder in the top shelf of the door had an abrupt meeting with the floor
- Opened the fridge in such a way the top shelf of the door fell out, broke, and the egg that was on the top shelf also broke (separate occasion to the one above)
- Straight out dropped an egg on the floor (I haven't been having a good month with eggs)
- Ran into the back of someone at traffic lights while engrossed in conversation with Lara - luckily I was going VERY slowly so no damage to either car
- Got a text from the "bank" asking me to ring a number, rang that number and was asked for my account number and password, gave these. Luckily for me it was actually the bank. But it was a stupid thing to do!
- Barged into a locked door expecting it to open - a security card swiping system had been installed a month earlier
- Opening the car door in such a way that it whacks me in the head - I do this often - it's got some kind of nasty spring on it
- Constantly (at least once a fortnight) attempting to drink and missing my mouth
- Constantly dropping my cell phone on the ground (I now have one with a nice strong metal faceplate)
- Returned from a run ,walked in our office kitchen, got a drink and biscuit then went into my office only to realise it was not my office - I was on the wrong floor! We'd shifted floors a few weeks earlier
- Frequently walking into door frames
- Not once but twice put a plastic bowl containing bread dough into an oven turned up to full - the intention was to turn it to full for a minute or so, then turn it off completely and it would be a nice warm environment for the dough to rise in. Melted plastic flavoured bread anyone?
- Won a bulk auction of what I assumed were 30 dvds - the turned out to be video cassettes - Darren helped me commit this one :)
- Broke my little toe by banging into our couch in the dark
- The hair dying fiasco of summer 2006/7
- Not once but twice left my wallet on the seat in a public place, once a mall, once an airport, once I got it back, once I didn't :(
- Left a bag of my Christmas shopping on the floor in a shop where I'd put it down to look at something - realised sometime later and had to retrace me steps to find it!
- Bounced on Mum and Dad's bed and broke the glass light shade with my head
- Was concentrating intently on sewing a felt Christmas decoration for our tree that I didn't notice I'd sewen it onto my skirt
- Decided that it was up to me to discipline Amy for jumping on her own bed so pushed her off onto a very sharp corned stereo (sorry Ame - she still has the scar on her back)
- Decided to help Dad out and started painting the garage floor and did what I'm sure was a very professional looking job for a 3 year old!
- My favourite: Bought the running hose inside, I think it was to help Mum water the plants but to be honest I have no recollection of this, however my parents however do!

Ha Min. Hilarious. And I forgot the driving into a car one. And to be honest, I suffer from the coordination one too. Never mind door frames or Maltese rocks... I keep pouring my coke at work over my ice too much so that it overflows, and have the drinking issue too :) And in the weekend Matthias and I repaired the vacuum cleaner plug and were so proud of ourselves for screwing it all back together and attaching it to the vacuum power cord, and then were trying to force the plastic cover on before realising that two plug prongs were not going to fit through the one hole there left for the cord - yes, the cover goes on _first_ .... (The plug needed attachment in the first place cos my flatmate got the cord stuck in the elevator doors and didn't realise until the elevator whisked from the 3rd floor to the 7th and left the plug behind...)
I do the drink thing too! It's so embarassing. Also, I walked into a pot plant at work the other day. I can understand that I often misjudge my width and knock myself on door frames but this was like a tree in a pot taller than Amy and I walked straight into it. Luckily I didn't knock it over!
Yes, I do still have the scar thank you very much!
