40 People Share The Funniest Things They’ve Done While Their Mind Was Elsewhere

I searched for a good 10 minutes for my shoes once....I was wearing them.

Or looking for my phone while talking to someone on the phone 🤷‍♀️

Or looking for your keys while driving

I was panicking while talking to my daughter on my phone, telling her I can't find my phone. A second later I said to her, "don't you tell anyone about this haha"

Have tried to turn on the TV with my phone, and on other occasions, answered the TV remote.

Accidentally? I talk to the automated self-checkouts. Usually to tell them things like "yes, I know", "this is not the first time I've done this", or "shut up". :D

I said "sorry, may I pass please?" to a mannequin in a clothes shop. Got no response. Such rudeness :)))))

it's always good to make friends with machines in case of the robot uprising

Yeah, same. Happens all the time. Though maybe our politeness will save us if the robots ever do stage an uprising.

I sometimes do this. Also, I thank my pots/pan/cooking/cleaning, when things are going smoothly. I'm hopeless 😂

My theory, everytime this happens, it's an alien in the other room and it needed to erase your memory for ten seconds so.you forget it's existence. You probably annoyed this one.

Every day...

OMG!

We've all done the Alzheimer's Hokey Pokey at some point

Welcome to MY WORLD 🤣

I am so used to doing talk-to-text I’ve left voicemails with punctuation. “I was just wondering if you are still coming on Saturday question mark.”

Then get the message alert tone at full volume in your ear

I did something like this, but worse. I moved out of my hometown when I was 18. My parents ended up moving out of my childhood home to a different house about 3 years later. I came for a visit shortly after they moved. On autopilot I drove to my childhood home instead of my parents new house. I got out of the car, got my dog and bags, and went into the house (small town, people rarely locked their doors) I was confused when I walked into a completely different entry way than I was used too, and it honestly took me a moment to figure out this was not were I was supposed to be. At this point, the new owner walked in from the living room. We just started at each other for a minute until I started apologizing and explaining that this is my childhood home and I haven't been back to town since my parents moved and it just didn't click that I wasn't supposed to go there. Thankfully she was chill and laughed about it and thankfully I didn't get shot (my hometown is pretty right wing and there are a lot of people with guns)

My boyfriend and I bought a new house a few exits down the highway from the old one. For the first few months, he would take the exit to the old house and then have to go straight through the traffic light to get back on the highway.

I have done that more than once.

I've driven towards my former job several times. I've been working at my current job for 7+ years.

I have missed the exit to my new house more than once because I was on autopilot going to my old house.

I used to routinely have a glass of iced tea and a glass of water with meals. Water tastes *really bad* when you think you're taking a big gulp of tea.

Don't drink lemonade by same colored paints. Some other beverage can suffice.

Some friends and I were on a beach trip. After we had turned the lights off to go to bed one of them decided they wanted a bottle of water from the fridge. All of a sudden we heard coughing/spitting/swearing from the kitchen. My friend had accidentally grabbed a bottle of white vinegar and taken a big swig of it. LOL! The rest of us laughed for about 30 minutes straight while the friend tried to get the taste out of his mouth.

Also done this

OMG!

🤣

Why would you chuck a cup onto your phone?

Splish, crash.

I'm so sorry.

Lol
