Nope. She just let me dangle with the longest "pregnant-pause" in history.

I've asked an abdominally plump lady about the due date of her baby. She wasn't pregnant.

I'm still spitting-out the black feathers from that debacle. 🙂

You did the proper thing. Tourniquets are a viable and effective method of precluding excessive blood flow out of the common swine's body.

Tell me the lady, in question, wasn't your wife. 😲

First job in London (only been there a week or two) and as I got off the train I suddenly realized my work mobile wasn't in my pocket. In sheer panic, I got the next train to Victoria and rushed to lost property in the desperate hope that somebody had handed it in. (Yes, I tried to get some random person to ring my phone, but it just rang and rang). Suffice to say, n ...[text shortened]... ged to lose my phone.

Got home that evening and found the mobile plugged into the wall, charging.

Reminds me of another dumb thing I've done... about to leave for work but where's my wallet? Looked everywhere, I could swear it was in my trousers pocket but no, couldn't find it. About to miss the train so left with some spare cash I had laying around, but the wallet... where could it be? Tired to think back to when I had last used it, no idea. About half way into the day I ...[text shortened]... ack home at night and checked the drawer I keep my passport and guess what? Yup, there's the wallet.

Opened the fridge door for light during a power cut!

Once found my bank card in the fridge. To this day I have no idea how it got there.

I reckon you put it there.

Worst ever DIY disaster. (And I've had a few).

In my previous home totally replaced an old bathroom with a beautiful white suite, black granite floor tiles etc (which I had to hire a special tool to cut). Final (simple) job was to screw in a door threshold strip. Found however that I was one screw short and so instinctively reached for my hammer and pounded in a nail.

Never knew water pipes ran so close to the floor boards. Heard an horrific gushing sound and rushed downstairs to find water pouring through my kitchen ceiling. - For the plumber to replace a section of pipe, I had to pull up some of the lovely floor tiles.

Nightmare.

You should have put this in the joke thread! I guess you aren't so perfect after all!!! 😉
