    We’ve all done them,
    One of my better ones
    I’ve had an electric toothbrush brush for years,
    So there I was one day brushing my teeth listening to my mrs chatting to me, I got to thinking this toothbrush is taking an age to switch off…then I realised after about 5 minutes I was actually using a manual,
    Just to add context we were on holiday and i forgotten my electric one so had to buy the manual one.

    I didn’t know how to turn our new oven on so tried cooking fish fingers on my wife’s hair straighteners and ruined them.

    I misunderstood the title until I read your post. I thought you were aiming for an MTV Cribs type show off of BBS'ers houses.

    Remember that time you filled that nature reserve up with concrete? What a blunder!

    I once set off on a Barnsley College trip to Germany with my mums passport. We were just about to get on the M1 at Dodworth when I realised. The coach had to take a detour via Cudworth to pick it up. We missed the ferry. The next one was delayed by about 6 hours due to the weather. We'd been on the road 18 hours or so by the time we got to an overnight lay over in France, and we only stopped there because we were still 6 hours away from our actual overnight stay over in Germany.

    Yes but I corrected that mistake by putting artificial grass over the concrete

    Driving to MK for 3 hours early one Monday to give a presentation. 2 sets of security doors, met delegates, pre-meeting coffee. Walked to meeting room, laptop bag suddenly feeling 'different'. Laptop itself still on desk at home in W Yorks.

    Once quoted a job to repoint the rear of a house via WhatsApp. The customer ommitted to say that the street was in Darton and I assumed it was in Barnsley.
    When we'd set up the ladders and was just about to start grinding out the concerned owner, who had been watching from the kitchen, finally came out.... in a concerned state lol.

    Not by me but our overseas cricket pro when I was at Elsecar was from Sri Lanka.

    Our sponsor at the time owned a property business and gave him a job.

    One day he was tasked with painting the exterior walls of a terrace house in full white paint.

    When he came back later in the afternoon he’d painted the wrong house.

    Championship season after Big Val left for West Brom, at home to Fulham (I think), I arrived on my bike up the TPT from Wath, at about 2:30 just in time to see the crowd pouring out. 12:30 kick-off apparently, nobody told me.
