My dad did this at airport security! He took off his shoes, jacket, belt and then his shirt before he finally realised what he was doing and where he was.

Im imagining a scared coworker staring at you while you lock eyes with her as you march towards her

Did something similar after a rough shift the other day. Walked through the shared cafeteria towards the dressing room where my locker is. Started to unbutton my shirt a little early. Good thing I realized what I was doing before it was too late.

ok weirdest thing that this is the top comment because i literally just did this and came here to comment!! i just walked into my shared staff bathroom and fully lifted my skirt as i walked in the door and the one chick (she’s new) in there just stared at me like i was lunatic as i abruptly dropped my skirt and hurried into a stall.

I have done this so many times, and the zone (the radius in which the preparation starts) is getting bigger.....

I totally do this lol.

Hahaha your efficiency totally backfired on you looool

Guilty of this one.

I always catch myself doing this. I wonder how many times someone has seen my dick because of this.

OMFG!! I can't even imagine!

Me too

Damn what a saint

That Girl deserves a medal.

Marry her.

I have been working nights for a year and I do stuff like this all the time. I honestly have no idea how I am still alive.

Me

:Pull up to intersection:

:See Cop:

:Carefully time my three seconds stop:

:Drive through what is a red light and not a stop sign:

Luckily it was late and the cop understood. People get dumb around cops.

This is one of the best. I could easily see myself something like that. I’ve already treated red lights like stop signs and stop signs like red lights.

You should only drive on autopilot in cars that actually have one.

I did that at a mechanic shop. For the record, was having an awful day that nothing was going right. Mechanic gave me the keys after the repairs. I unlocked the car, put the keys in the cupholder, and got so mad that my car couldn't get out of park. Went back in to the shop and started on about the car not working, something is wrong, what did yall do. The kind mechanic came out with me, asked me to start the car so he could see the problem. I looked at him, looked at the keys, looked at him, then just started laughing hysterically. The mechanic started laughing with me and it took nearly 10 minutes for us to calm down

I had stopped to ask a police officer something, when noticing him pulled over for something and he was just filling out e-paperwork on his laptop. Anyways, after his response i start to leave, and completely forget how to turn my motorcycle on. Keep pushing the ignition, not remembering, that i used the killswitch to turn it off. Then after like 30 seconds of it not working, i flipped the killswitch to on, and rode off. Good thing the cop didn't think i was drunk or high that day lol.

One day my car wouldn't start--no ending grinding or lights or anything. Two other people looked at it and couldn't figure out the problem before the third noticed it wasn't in park.

Neighbor - Did you tried turning it on? You - Of course... not. Didn't cross my mind. Thank you. Want to go out later today? Neighbor - I have a wife. You - I know baby it's me. Neighbor - I know...

They lived happily ever after.

This makes me feel better about the time my grandpa asked me to move his pick up but I forgot to put it in gear. The number of times I revved the engine before I figured it out...

This is the first comment that I've genuinely laughed at. Poor pup hahaha. I can't.

Oh god, I can picture her poor little sad face

Awwwwwww! My dog gets boiled chicken in his dry food - my mom spoiled him like that when she was alive, and he won't eat his food any other way. Today, I realized I ran out of chicken the night before and started to boil the chicken. I picked up the dog bowl to wash it, and he was looking at me expectantly, licking his lips, and I didn't have any food ready for another twenty minutes! I felt so bad!

Ultimate power move.

My dog taps her food bowl with her paw to let me know 'food goes here'. A couple of times she's tapped her water bowl instead. So I obliged her & dumped her dinner into her full water bowl instead. And then realized I had just ruined her food because I was just following orders.

If a dog was in malcolm in the middle I could see the dad doing this.

This is so tragic lol

LOL.

I imagined you staring into her soul as you slowly dumped the food into the trash can. The ultimate power move.

I couldn’t breathe for a good 20 seconds haven’t had a good laugh like this in awhile haha this comment is underrated. This is the best one here seriously

I've done the same thing except pouring the food directly into the water dish instead. Several times.

[deleted]

):

Nice power move.

This is truly heartbreaking to read.

EDIT: Words

This is my favourite one on this post by far. I can just imagine the situation.

Tippy-taps

"you want this? You want this? Too bad"

Omg i almost choked on my taco 🤣

i can't breathe

I'm going to do this in the morning

I did something similar with a giant cup of water.
Back in high school i had a friend over and it happened to be a damn hot summer day, so she asks for the biggest glass of water we have. So I go to the fridge and add the ice and then water while we are chatting. Totally forget what im doing and the water over flows from the cup, so my instinct was to dump the whole friggen glass down the sink. 😂

I'm working out on my elliptical. Almost fell off of it laughing. You are awesome!

It's for the church, honey!

I'm dying lmao I wish I was there to see the reaction from the McDonald staff lmaoaoaoaa

Dark mornings suck

I've done that.

Stayed up too late for whatever reason. Went to class as normal, took notes and all that. Got back to my dorm and took a nap before dinner.

Woke up, saw the clock and thought "OH SHIT! 7? I'VE GOT CLASS AT 8!"

Figured out in the shower that it was 7 PM not 7 AM.

Woke up. Got dressed and packed for work. Took an hour bus ride to work, with 2 transfers. Go to my office, put my food in the fridge. Said hello to some strangers. Walked across the parking lot to my work facility. Changed into scrubs, said hello to some strangers walk to the lab for the morning meeting, notice a different MoD that works different days I ask "what are you doing here, is so and so not working?".
Manager: oh are you helping out today? my Brain:thats weird, something is happening. Me: Oh, no, seems like A crew is here. Manager: Yeah, its A crew today. my brain: Did I just come in on my day off? Me: Did I just come in on my day off? Manager: Haha, no, but me could use the help My brain: Fuck fuck fuck fuuuuuuck i could be sleeping right now, and now I have to take a bus back.

Fastforward, I hop on a bus and go 10 minutes hour in the wrong direction. Catch one like 45 minutes later to finally go the right direction, go right past my work again and finally get home over another hour later.

The whole ordeal took like 6 hours of my day.

There's no possibility of me ever doing this because I check the clock obsessively the whole time I'm getting ready.

Good thing you checked the clock. Where I live 7 AM looks pretty much the same outside as midnight.

I have an alarm that goes off at the same time every day to help me keep my sleep schedule. I've woken up, got ready and been halfway to work on a saturday more than a couple times.

Same happened to me, i was getting ready to school at 2 am, i would literally go there if my grandma wouldnt go and see who is making this mess at 2 am 😂😂 I couldnt fall asleep after that and in the morning i found out i have a fever

I did this when I was in school, woke up, got something to eat and hoped in the shower ready to go to school. My brother then comes in and ask why i'm showering so early. Turn out it was sunday. Me, feeling embarrassed, tried to played it off like I was just taking a early morning shower and that I was totally aware it wasn't a school day.

I did the exact same in a rush to get to school as a kid. I came downstairs in my hastily put together uniform to my parents in the living room. I was confused they weren't dressed up.

It was Saturday.

I did this when I was younger with a morning paper round. I got up, dressed and got my coat on and was looking for the keys for the garage to get my bike out when my dad saw me. It was also about 1am.

I did this two days ago but at like 3:40 am. It was finals week though so I gave myself a pass.

Plot twist OP works that early and this was a normal day for them.

I did something similar once. Woke up, in the middle of the night apparently, jumped outta bed, took a morning whiz,got dressed for work. Only to finally look at my phone and realize I still get 5 hours more of sleep.

I have done the same, except I never looked at any clock untill I was in my car just outside of my old workplace, contemplating why all the lights were off, and the carpark was so empty.

You get dressed before brushing your teeth?

RAGE

done this before defo

How did you not feel drowsy?

This has happened so many times to me too lmao

And you wondered whether you had woken up in a different universe

I'v done that more often than I'm willing to admit...

I hate when i'm 6 hours late for night school , no point going for the last hour

I did this back when it was dark when i headed in and left at night from work, i got to work and the front desk told me: "hey? Its 1 am".

Yeah, on a similar note Ive tried to do that to a paper book.

Oh god, I can't even count the number of times I've tried to use ctrl + z on a paper drawing. And then there's scenario: "I've made pretty good progress, I should save! Wait, why can't I save? ...Oh. Right."

I've tried to "scroll" an article I printed out

I often found myself trying to Ctrl+Z when drawing in my sketchbook after having spent time drawing digitally.

I once turned around to my right hand side to look for my trash can as if it was on my monitor! (It wasn’t)

Oh damn, this reminds me

After summer break I was back in classes as usual and since I only wrote in the PC during the summer, I immediately tried to go CTRL+Z when I spelled something wrong.

Another time I was unsure how to write a word so I just wrote what I thought was right and waited for the autocorrection to do its thing.

Have done this muuultiple times while reading magazines in the waiting room before therapy. A big family walked in and they were being very loud, and then someone struck up a conversation on the other side of me and they were hard of hearing so they were also loud, and my brain shorted out. Nothing against any of them, that's just how public spaces are sometimes, but I jumped up and practically ran out of the room when my therapist came to get me and thanked her profusely for getting me somewhere quieter haha. Still kept my shame about the magazines to myself though

Did this on my CAD prints... In front of the head of department of our college...

Have you ever watched a toddler with a magazine? They get so frustrated when they can't click on the images. Soon little ones, soon.

I laugh-sputtered at this. Sorry.

I am absolutely terrified of doing this. Especially at work; I remove items from packaging then on my way to the trashcan, I constantly repeat to myself "left hand trash, right hand keep".

Once my 3D printer was messed up and I was working on it/snacking at the same time. I stood over the trash can eating and holding the smallest Allen wrench I was using in my other hand. I swear to God that before I was even done opening my hand I started to say "oh noooooooo", realizing my mistake. Too late. I spent at least 15 minutes rummaging through wet garbage.

One time I was at an art show at my school for extra credit. There was cake or something and I threw away my plate.

Five minutes later, I realize I can’t find my phone.

Yep. I threw my brand new iPhone 7 into a trash can full of cake. Got it back though.

I have done similar. I was leaving the apartment and took a poopy diaperbag my car keys and proceeded throwing my car keys down the trash chute and strutting with the bag to my car Took me a few minutes.

Done the throwing the keys away and trying to put the garbage in my pocket

Haha shit I'm so afraid I'm going to do this at some point, because outside my apartment we have big underground trash facilities where I wouldn't be able to get the stuff back...

Many times have I thrown away my keys, or cell phone, or full jug of milk.

The scene and exchange Sounds like something that could happen in a comedy movie haha

What was their response?

Who can say, really

That's awesome. Do you ever start driving your route by accident?

Yep! I feel you! Ex over-the-road trucker here and pulling into a scale in a personal vehicle will get plenty of stares and a few laughs to boot! It is a great way to be reminded not to take yourself so seriously.

Lewis Hamilton, the world champion F1 driver, once drove into the McLaren pit stop. The problem was that he was not racing for McLaren, but his new team, Mercedes.

Video proof:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iw7fcxZZt9E

I took the bus exclusively for several years. When I finally bought a car and started driving home from work, I found myself wanting to pull over at all the bus stops on the way.

I was on a bus once where the driver got on the wrong exit and into a tunnel, taking 15 minutes to get back to the route, because it was the exit she would normally take when driving that way home.

At age 21 would sometimes walk to work because it was only a mile away, one morning a yellow school bus randomly stopped, opened the doors and the driver motioned for me to get on. It was a bus for middle school children, I had a beard and work boots on.

Edit: words

As long as you remember to thank yourself afterwards

Good way to start a taxi service.

My dads a bus driver. He has the same urge to do so while off duty.

My bus driver once did the opposite and took a turn towards his own home (which was close). He almost got the bus stuck in a way too narrow road, and was barely able to back it up. The bus survived with a few scratches, and almost a broken rear window.

Fire engine driver.

Previous Engines had the swinging chain between Driver and Lieutenant, to pull the air horn. New pumpers don't have. Years later, I still reach for the (nonexisting) chain. [Now we have foot petals]. Sometimes when I reach for it, the other firefighters just yell out "Honk Honk!"

Edit: Thank you u/Tink_650 for the Silver. I will dedicate the next reach for the horn to you!

Wait you mean the bus isn’t your car?

I've done this. I've also driven half a bus route instead of going home in my car.

​

Did you ever go on auto-pilot driving the bus and gone the completely wrong route, like driving to your house or whatever

Sometimes in my car I forget I can lwgally thrn right on red, or I'll start stopping at railroad tracks, and try to open my nonexistant service door.. fun times

Have you ever done that while someone is waiting for the bus?

Thank you.

I do this aswell. My favourite is following the route when I'm driving the road. Made my way into a few schemes that I didn't need too

Ex bus driver? What do you do now?

That must've been pretty awkward for the people you normally pick up

I am a former bus driver. Each time this happened to me, a chip popped off of my will to live.

Haha a bus driver once went the wrong way when I was the only one on the bus. He said 'sorry, I thought I was in the car going to to pick up my wife, this is the way to her work'. I enjoyed it :)

Better than going home while driving the bus.

Can you pick us up next time 🤪

I've done this so many times...especially when I have to go down the same roads to get home that are on my route...

Thank you

So you work for Uber now?

I'm currently a bus driver and I do that and stop at railroad tracks in my car as well. I also force people to tell me what route/stop they're destination is at when I give them rides lmao

I don't know what it is about this comment but I read it as if you're a woman. Was weird to find out you actually are haha

I worked in a shop on the ‘express’ register- before the automated call. Instead of saying thanks to the bus driver on my drive home I shouted “NEXT PLEASE” in his face as I was getting off the bus.

One of my routes is the same way I come home from work, so I’m constantly in danger of accidentally bringing a bus load of people to my house!

I dunno why, but that's wholesome

Did you ever go home with the bus, instead of the car?

Thanks for this :)

Ha Ha Same here.....

Hahaha that is so funny! Thank you fot sharing!

A friend of mine used to work in transfers. He once went home and parked the van in front of his house, and that was when we realized there were still clients in the van. He was not supposed to go home yet.

I sometimes stop at railroad stops in my car.

My dad was s bus driver and he’d always take turns sooooooo wide. In his ford escort.

Thank you bus driver.

My friends father was a trolleybus driver. My friend told me that they regularly drove under the wires even when in a car.

don't worry, i've heard that from many busdrivers. Seems to be normal.

This is epic😂

Yeah it was fun...eral.

Yikes

The secondhand cringe from this one is so real.

Ugh. I did something like this at a funeral. I was asked to come to the meal service after the lowering of the casket (which I wasn't attending because only the deceased wife and children were attending.) Instead of saying that I had to get to work I accidentally said "Oh, I'm sorry I can't. Maybe next time." I got to my car and realized what an idiot I was. :/ I'm not the person you want around in a crises, that's for sure.

"I'm sorry for your loss. Move on."

At my dad's funeral my cousin asked me, "Why so glum?" She felt so stupid after she realized what she said that I still feel bad for her for saying it.

When my cousin's husband passed away I almost asked her where he was while we were at the repass. Thankfully I caught myself just time

I laughed at this dead end joke

I recognized my mistake

And then I did it again

Humanity in a nutshell

You know, I read this once and it made sense. Then I read it again and realized I am a dumbass.

This one’s my favourite

Were you able to fix your phone afterwards?

Let me guess, you instinctively wanted to wash off hte water after you put realized you put your phone under the faucet?

I opened a bottle of OJ, opened a can of Pringles, ate some Pringles and tried screwing the cup back on top of the OJ bottle with the lid still in my hand.

Your brain: Wanna see me do it again?

Waterproof phone #2018

Thank God, right?

I’m giggling pretty damn hard right now

I had something similar happen. My phone was sticky, so I wanted to rinse it off. My brain knew to use a wet washcloth or something, my body decided to hold it under running water and scrub...

And then I did it again

This bit is what got me

When you first made the mistake I was all like “oof that’s rough”

Then when you did it again I started laughing hysterically

That's awesome! I'm feeling so much better about myself!

Oh dear that’s an expensive mistake! I once tried to refill a water bottle from a much larger container while in a moving vehicle and watched the water fill for too long and soaked my pants and seat for the rest of the car ride

Monday’s a hell of a drug.

Found the non-mobile user

Like, take a candy out of a wrapper and throw the candy in trash, leaving you with the wrapper.

I don't get it?

George. No karma farming. Bad.

Like Homer and the toaster. "Daaaad, your hand's in the toaster again!!!"

ARE YOU FUCKING SORRY??

My grandpa destroyed two phones in two days. First one: Had it in his pocket, when out fishing. I can’t really remember what he did but he did fall in the water. Went into town to buy a new phone the same day. Bought the same model. Next day: He actually put a plastic bag over the phone when he was out fishing. He comes back. Takes the phone out of the bag. Decide to do some maintenance to our bathing spot, picking up some sharp rocks where we enter. With his phone in his pocket. Waist deep water... I’m gonna laugh at that one forever.

Boooooo

This

Not me, but years ago my friend was making gravy for his meal. It had turned a bit lumpy in the saucepan, and he had the brilliant idea to just strain the lumps out. So he holds a strainer over the sink drain and pours the gravy through.

“Great job” he thinks, very pleased with himself because of how he had caught all the nasty lumps so effectively.

Then it slowly dawned on him that his gravy was all down the sink, and he was holding a strainer full of gravy lumps.

This one hurts to read.

Noooooooo

Every other one has made me laugh, this just made me sad.

I did this once after taking a few hits off my friend’s joint. It’s the only time I’ve ever smoked, because that night I was trying to make weed brownies and I cooked the butter- and poured it straight into the sink. Well, about a quarter of it before I realized what was happening lol. Then I spent an ENTIRE thirty minutes stirring the brownie mix. That night, all six of us slept together on one bed. My brother was jokingly speaking in tongues and it was the funniest thing I’d ever seen. Good times! I miss those guys.

This is Kevin’s Chili painful.

I was feeling an encroaching sickness coming upon me one time

Most people would just say "I felt like I was getting sick" or something, but I like your version better.

I did this once. I actually cried.

Oh God. I would just block this memory out because it would haunt me forever.

Lol just did this with some baller potato soup that had.taken me 3 hrs to make a few days ago

Oh god i've strained the lumps out of a mixture and ended up with a colander full of lumps and nothing else. :|

I was making spaghetti, and went to drain the noodles and poured everything into the sink and then stared, trying to figure out what had happened. My housemate came over. "You usually put the colander in the sink first, don't you."

I am so sorry for your loss

As I was reading this I was thinking "Where's he going with this?" Got to the end...Then I laughed like a psycho and woke up my sleeping baby.

I hate saying that I have also done this. Thankfully I stopped part of the way. RIP your beautiful stock.

Noooooooooooooooooooooooo

Words cannot express the pain I feel from this

This is a really common one on /r/cooking.

I just did this same thing last week. I was so devastated.

Uuuuuuuuuuggghhhhhh so painful

At that point, you quit. You go to your mom's house, and you quit.

[deleted]

That hurts. I'm going to pretend that I don't think you mean sautéed when you write sorted the onions.

I enjoyed your story at 04:35 in bed next to my sleeping husband trying mightily to hold in my manic pyscho laughter. Jesus this is painful! I am sooo sorry about your lost 8+ hours and delicious chicken stock which never saw the light of day. Amen.

This one hurt me

I have also done this. It’s a few seconds of shock, followed by sadness, topped off with the massive facepalm.

I've done a similar thing. I was letting it simmer and took off the lid for a while wanting it to stew down a little and concentrate the flavours. Got it tasting amazing. Went to take a nap. Woke up several hours later to a burning pot of over stewed veg and chicken.

I'd forgotten to turn the hob off. It had all evaporated away!

Hey me too! I feel your pain.

*dies inside*

I lost it at this one. Feels bad man

I so sorry but I am fucking dying 😂 this made my day several times over

I've done something similar, making a big batch of Turkey and Leek pie filling. Part of it is straining the mix through a sieve, so the filling inst too liquid, and you get a wonderful source/gravy to use with the meal. Yep - strained it straight into the sink for some reason! :(

If anyone is interested its this recipe from Jamie Oliver and its bloody gorgeous!

You have me in tears from laughing, but I feel so mean laughing at you.

Did the god of sinks bring you blessings for your sacrifice?

That almost made me cry...

You poor soul.

Also, thank you for teaching me a new word (lurgy)

My dad did the same thing with gravy a few Thanksgivings ago and now every time we make gravy my mom always brings it up.

OMG I would have cried.

OMG that's hilarious and sad!!

Sickness 1

Portarossa 0

I have done that. Painful, yet funny mistake!

Oh, honey...

i cackled

My condolences.

I am never paying attention I sometimes put knives in my fridge. I understand this!

done that. The immediate internal pain.

I'm sorry for your loss...

Bro you was bout to die

Did you actually get sick though

Why tho?

I think I just died a little inside after reading this

I have also done this 🙁

I’ll mail you soup next time friend!!

Omg, I'm so sorry for your loss.

Oh no! I just covered my eyes with one hand for approximately ten seconds. That sucks.

Someone's girlfriend posted about how her S.O. did this.

Oooooooooh my god I have done that too! I can’t help but laugh as I remember my embarrassment doing that.

My housemate once did this while cooking. He was. Trying to strain the milk and just poured it through a sieve into the sink. I still laugh at it now.

Have you told this story in other threads, I'm having deja vu

As someone who is currently dealing with an infection, I feel your pain.

Everybody's been there at least once in their lifetime

I'm physically in pain

Nooooooo

This is the worst thing ever. I'd just take off all my clothes and walk into the sea if that happened to me. There's no coming back from that.

Great, now im sick.

I'm sorry. I feel so bad for you. Especially if you were feeling sick and did all that work.

I did that too! When I was about 10 years old, I wanted to prove Grandma how good I was in the kitchen. Eagerly poured it through the colander. Down the drain. I remember her yelling at me only two times in my life. This was one of them.

Ooooh. I've done this. Luckily a cold wasn't coming on. Much cursing happened though.

This is the best one on the thread

Aw shit I feel the pain.

I laughed so hard I think I woke my neighbors and I dont live in an apartment... they seem angry. I'm going inside now.

I did the same thing once only I already had the flu. I was able to blame it on my head being baked by fever but deep down I felt like it was my own stupidity.

There were many tears shed that night.

Commented this on an above post. Truly the worst feeling. Especially in a restaurant.

Uff, been there before :D

Similar thing happened to me. Made a bone stock base for about 12 hours of careful simmering and then added other things and then set it in the sink to cool in some water before refrigerating it. Came back about 20 minutes later and my mom had dumped it out thinking it was being washed or something.

At least once a year, I like to bring in some of my Kevin's Famous Chili.

Ouch! Making pho with my wife a couple nights ago and caught her just as she was tipping the pot over the colander. Trials of cooking after 12+ hours of work.

Ouch. That made me gasp out loud. What a plot twist.

Ugh my heart hurts for you my guy.

"... But the future refused to change."

I've done this before too lmao. WORST

Oof.

I've read this before and now I always double check there is a bowl under my colander.

I just audibly groaned at work.

Did this making chai. 2/3 of my batch, just straight gone.

This has been posted before, hurts my soul every time.

Omg! My grandfather did that once when I was a kid, only with fish we had caught for the day. After cleaning them, we had a nice pile of fish heads when he dumped the fillets into the lake.

Have done the same thing; it's so disheartening when you realize what you've done.

Did you post this on r/food or r/cooking a year or so ago?

Similarly, I have made chicken stock, got out the strainer, poured my stock through it and down the sink, leaving myself with a nice pile of depleted bones and a new, lower estimation of my intelligence.

every time the power goes out: walk into utility room to check breaker, flip on light switch.

My dad did this once! I mean, what else are you supposed to do when you have a bucket of water and there’s a sink right there?

I took the trap out from under the sink to clear a clog... And then rinsed the trap out in the sink.

[deleted]

I recently did similar. We had a sewer clog that backed up out a basement floor drain. I took a wet/dry vac and sucked it all up and dumped it outside. Came in and had to pee. Out of habit I flushed. Immediately realized my stupidity. Back down I go with the vac. Came back in and thinking "I just handled sewage, I need to wash", I stupidly wash my hands. As I'm drying my hands, I realize I just made the same mistake yet again. Again I go with the vac. My wife thought it was hilarious.

Yesterday I poured sticky pasta water all over my kitchen by forgetting that strainers are supposed to go in the sink before you empty a whole pot of pasta into them. I felt so stupid as I was mopping the worktop, the floor, down the side of the appliances...

No.. Gosh the horror

Lolol. I was drunk and angry my bathroom sink wouldn’t drain so I took the plumbing apart and proceeded to try to rinse it out in the same sink

Am a plumber. Ive lost count of times I’ve drained a trap into a bucket then poured it down the now trapless sink

My dishwasher drains into the sink drain just above the trap. Dishwasher backed up one day with a bunch of water that wouldn't drain. I then proceeded to take a cup and scoop the water out of the dishwasher and put it in the sink, then wondered why the dishwasher didn't seem any emptier after about 10 to 15 cups.

I've done this.

Outstanding work, soldier!

This made me cry of laughter!

FLEX TAPE

I'm not going to admit that I may have had to re-read that once or twice to make it click as to why that would flood the kitchen...

To be honest I'd probably do the same

I have done this. Dying inside, I stood, staring at the puddle for a minute before I grabbed a towel.

I read “the pipe underneath my skin” and got very concerned for you FELLOW HUMAN.

I had a similar one. I dropped a razor blade down the sink. So I sat on the floor underneath it and removed the U bend, which was obviously partially full of water. So I reached up and emptied it into the sink above me. And straight into my lap.

This happened at our old house, i did the same thing and my mom yelled at me

Yep, done that!

Did the exact same thing

This is exactly what I had done, but only in the bathroom. It's just the natural thing to do with a bucket of fluids next to a sink.

Reminds me of a cartoon with a leaky boat, that the save by drilling another hole in the floor to let the water out :)

This one made me crack up!

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Well, there was an attempt at least.

I've seen this exact thing happen in a comic

I'm pretty sure every plumber has done this at least once.

This is the most relatable so far, I feel like a lot of us would make the same mistake.

Thank you.

This is the one I would do

Haha! My dad is a plumber, he said people do that all the time!

This is my favorite comment on this thread

I've done that a few times, maybe not due to auto pilot, but just not paying the fuck attention.

I have done this, but the sink was standing in the middle of the room at the time because we were renovating the kitchen

Been there. Done that.

This is one of the comments I can get behind. Where else dump water, right? I remember my sink getting clogged and I had to dump buckets into the toilet which felt soooo weird

I better not do this too since I have a leaking pipe as well.

I could image myself doing this...

you have no right to make me laugh out loud at 4:30 in the morning but thanks

Perpetuum Mobile.

That made me laugh a bit too much!

We all have done that, or will end up doing it. I chuckled, but I feel you.

It happens to the best of us

Did that happen or did you just watch ElectroBOOM recently?

This is like when the internet goes down and you automatically try to open Google to look up how to fix it.

I pulled this not even a full month ago.

This souds like something that could happen yo me, thanks

By far my favorite one 😂!

I did something like this as a maintenance guy a couple years ago. The u-bend in the sink pipes had a clog in it, so I had a bucket underneath to catch the nastiness as I took it apart. Got the clog out, thought "I should dump out this bucket," proceeded to dump about a gallon of nasty stagnant water into the disassembled sink. Made a 20 minute job turn into an hour of taking every last item out from under the sink and sanitizing the whole area (it was a retirement community so sanitation was a big deal). Wish I could say I only did it once...

Have done the exact same thing, but on a non-flooding scale

Illusion 100

Lauren??

At my first job, I worked in a cafeteria that had a deep fryer for french fries. Every night we would shut off the fryer, and twist the knob under the fryer to open the valve and drain the grease into the container below., then clean out the fryer.

One morning I watched my coworker take the container of grease out from under the fryer, and pour it back into the top - but she had not checked that the drain was CLOSED first. Cue grease flowing ALL over the floor of cooking area.

I made sure to TRIPLE check the valve before filling the fryer in the mornings after that.

Been here done that

That is something I would 100% do!

I would do that too.

I’ve done that too. Not my best moment.

Ok this one is downright funny!

Your post can be read to the tune of Last Christmas.

Done the exact same thing, twice in a row. So glad that I'm not the only one.

That's a pretty peaceful cat.

I've left this platform and my account is all but deleted. Every comment of mine has been changed to this.

Why? To quote a comment on the first post on reddit:

"I no longer believe that Reddit can enrich my life. People can find better news, entertainment, and discussion elsewhere. Reddit is too full of low effort content, gross censorship [gross is an underestimation] of both useful and non-useful discourse, and the worst kinds of arguments. I advise everyone to leave and do something more productive with your lives.

Go read a book, learn a language, talk to a stranger, walk around your neighborhood, take a class, cook a meal, or play with your pet. If you're anything like me, you won't look back and consider the time on Reddit to be life well lived. I hope to see you out there."

PM's will not be responded to, no matter how original the word.

Enjoy your time on reddit. Or better yet, off of it.

I’m just imagining you wrestling a squirming cat into the drawer, thinking “What the hell is up with this oven mitt?”

I watched a friend’s cat for a month while she was away and he had the craziest habit of climbing into my dresser drawers. He would open the bottom drawer, climb through that one into one of the upper drawers that were still closed. And then get stuck!

The first time it happened I freaked out thinking he was in the walls or something because I could hear faint meowing.

I eventually just barricaded my dresser.

The cat was going to go in there anyways so....

My cat would love you if you did that.

This one actually made me laugh thank u

[deleted]

Lol I'm legally blind and find myself apologizing to all kinds of shit wet floor signs, fire hydrant s, mannequin s, you name it. Awkward AF

I feel that on a personal level.

[deleted]

I usually just say "ouch" when I make two inanimate objects hit each other by accident. Like if I push my chair into my table or something like that. It's really weird, lol.

Top 5 underrated comments

I too am Canadian.

Cheeto lives matter^tm

Don't worry. That's just the Canadian kicking in.

I'm sure it forgave you, though.

As an individual with hyper-empathy, I relate.

The other day I was playing voleyball and my friend accidentally hit a plant with the ball so she walked over to it to apologize.

My 2 year old did that to a slice of bell pepper today.

My ex's dad would apologize to every inanimate object he hit. Accidentally kick a table "sorry" under his breath. Never really got an explanation for that but w/e.

Canadian also?

1. You're Canadian
2. This with out a doubt happened the day weed was legalized

This actually had me cracking up. Not just breathing out of my nose a little more quickly, but a good, hearty laugh

This comment was weird to understand if you watch xQc.

OP said auto pilot not baked my man

We found the Canadian.

r/brandnewsentence

Cheetos have feelings too

Cheeto.

Well you better apologize! Have you seen sausage party?!?!

It will kill you in your sleep next time!

Oh shit, I do this with ants, snails, spiders, etc. Don't know shy

Ope, sorry bud. You guys ok?

-from Michigan.

I did that once while walking I kicked a bowl of water that was on the ground left out for dogs, then immediately apologized to it afterwards....I hope it accepted my apology hahha

Fellow Canadian? (I apologize to inanimate objects almost daily).

lol this reminds me of my calculus 3 class. my professor would be talking and backing up to point at something on the board but would always bump into a desk and say sorry to the desk

Are you British? 😂

I once dropped my phone in public and shouted "Ouch" after staring at it for 5 seconds. My friends joked about me being slow for the rest of the day and I got a lot of weird stares before I left that place.

Top 10 saddest anime deaths

Oh thank you for making me laugh! I do this shit all of the time.

i burp and say 'oh boy excuse me,' to me.

One time a frog/toad hopped into my foot as I was making a step. I talked to it like it was my cat

Sorry, babe. You okay?

​

Must be Canadian. 🍁

I said sorry to a pole after I got hit with it

Canada?

I apologize to inanimate objects all the time, or say ow if other people drop/hurt something inanimate

Let me guess , Canadian?

Are you Canadian?

I do this so often because my first thought is I've stepped on the cat. Feel something soft or fuzzy under my foot, freak out, profusely apologize, and then realise it's just the edge of the fucking area rug or a cat toy and the cat is staring at me going, "Wtf is wrong with you?"

Are you Canadian?

Haha, sometimes I say oh excuse me after bumping into a wall or door.

I find myself saying thank you to Alexa. I hope that it storing up some kudos with the AI.

ARE YOU FUCKING SORRY!?

I actually find myself apologizing to all sorts of inanimate objects if I bump into them.

I lived a few years in Austin and we had a ton of snails. I can sympathize with you.

hello fellow Canadian

Apologize to the carpet

You must be from [my geographical area]!

This is the best one here. Literally had me stifling a laugh next to my sleeping wife and kids (visiting family for Christmas, so sharing a room)

This is my favorite

As you should.

Every time I bump into any inanimate object, I always apologize

Did it forgive you?

When I was a kid my Dad used to walk into me on purpose because he thought my automatic apologising was funny. Took me ages to catch on to what he was up to!

It ain’t easy being cheesy

My boyfriend showed me this and said he does the same. One of our cats is named Cheeto, though...

One time in high school someone was sitting on a desk and swinging their legs. He accidentally kicked me and I apologized.

Rip in peace

You were English in a past life

"Are you fucking sorry?!?!"

I may be drunk and stupid but this is hilarious

Underrated reply

I found the Canadian!

Youre either Canadian or work for Comcast.

The damage is done, man. The damage is done.

This is the best thing ever.

Do you have pets? Because this sounds like something anyone with pets would say

Lol, this is gold

Are you Canadien?

I really feel this one

TIL that it appears to be common knowledge that Canadians are a very polite sort who care for food stuffs as much as people stuffs. I want to be Canadian when I grow up.

As a Canadian I approve

I’m laughing so hard

Writhing in pain, a grunted "shit. Sorry" to my coffee table

My girlfriend randomly apologizes to inanimate objects all the time. Her iPad, the door, food...my favourite was when she accidentally turned on her car wipers and then said sorry to them

I do this all the time when bumping into stuff. Never feels less dumb.

This one is my favorite :)

My fucking sides

I apologize to inanimate objects all the time. The other day I accidentally closed my microwave too hard and went “ouch, sorry”

Totally done that.

Haha I once got me top caught in the handle of a door and as it kind of pulled me back I was like "get off me!". There were no other humans around.

Are you Canadian?

Now if we could just get Jinping to do the same, my Jan 18th calls might still be worth something.

I apologize to everything. I am not even Canadian; I only recently moved from the "Southern United States of America by geography only" to "Canada by geography only".

This has to be a John Cleese sketch.

canadian tings

'dangerously cheesy'

I woke up with a migraine and called in. At the end I told my boss "Night mom". My boss is a male and it was 7:15a.

I live around 500 miles from my parents... whenever I visit my parents I always end up calling my wife “mom” and my mom “hun” at some point during the trip. 🤦🏼‍♂️

If you had done that on purpose that would have actually been a really funny joke

Isn't this how pornos start?

Was anyone around to see?

You're not alone! As I recall, there was a baseball player who did something like this. He slid into first, dusted off his pants, then pulled them down (presumably some dirt had gotten in) while on the field before remembering where he was. It was during a game and everything! There's a video of it somewhere.

I've also 100% gotten turned around at my noon/lunch break at work and gotten my shit packed and ready to leave. Only to realize how stupid I and and start unpacking

My husband has done something like this. Taking off his belt to go through the scanner at the airport. Belt off. Pants must be coming off as well.

I now make sure he stops stripping every time we fly.

The three year old I nanny does this too. Are you sure you’re not a preschooler?

I did something similar at a job when I was a teen. Walked into the back room at the end of my shift, took off my apron, untucked my shirt, then started to take it off right as my friend was rounding the corner. Her "uh... what are you doing?" snapped me out of it. Luckily it was a friend and not one of the boys or managers who would never have let me live down accidentally flashing them my bra.

I've done this. I went to school out of state and flew home ever so often, I was in the airport, zoned out, in the security line, I had grabbed an items bucket, started taking my jacket off, then my shoes, then my belt, unbuttoned my pants, started pulling them down and right when I started to get to a dangerous point I glanced up and made eye contact with a Male TSA agent who was all wide eyed and shaking his head "No" .

I instantly snapped out of it, realized where I was, re-buttoned my pants. And made a couple of casual glances around to see if any one saw.

When I was a kid, I went through a phase where I wore lots of dresses (with frills and poofy skirts). I didn't like sitting on the skirts though, because it was always so lumpy. So when I'd go to sit down, I'd pull the back of my skirt out--not enough to reveal anything, just enough to not sit on the skirt. Basically, the same motion I'd make when sitting down on a toilet.

One day, sitting down for dinner, I pulled up my skirt and pulled down my underwear before sitting down.

This didnt happen to be called ram ranch by any chance, did it?

​

I’ve done something similar, I was at work and I went to the bathroom to take a shit. After a few moments I catch myself in the stall not only with my pants down, but my shirt off too.

I almost did this after taking my belt off in airport security Unbuttoned my jeans and was like whoooooanope

"Boots and pants and boots and pants"

begins to dance and tease

One time I put on my shoes and started to leave my house before I realized I hadn't put on any pants.

Haha i did something similar.

When i get home i take off my "outside" pants immediately and put sweatpants on.

So one day i get to my girlfriends and after coming inside the door and having taken my shoes and jaket off, while i was talking to her, with her roommates in the room, i just took off my pants, folded them like i always do and put them over her chair.

Just to realise, that i talked to her and her friends, while i fucking removed my pants and folded them like its the most normal thing to do.

I tried to play it cool and motioned to her to go into her room (thankfully i remembered to take my pants with me).

She bursted out laughing and her friends were super confused...

She thought i was super horny at first and just forgot her friends were there and then was just like "what the fuck is he doing" since i folded them and just casually talked with them.

It was a weird day.

I have weird autopilot moments and sometimes when I'm out and about I have a sudden fear that I forgot to put bottoms on (especially when I wear shorts) and have to look down and check.

I've done this before. You're not alone.

I've done something similar! I worked with a volunteer group where we wore uniforms and typically we'd go to the locker room to change, but since I was always there early I'd get lazy and change in our office.

One day after we finished I walked into the office with a group of volunteers and just started undressing. That's when I got a little more strict with myself about protocol

Did this when my wife's female friends were staying at our place. I always strip down to boxers when I get home and just did it without thinking. Luckily we're all pretty close and they laughed it off.

My husband did this while going through airport security. Granted, he had to take his belt off and put it through. Then he unbuttoned and unzipped. He didn’t even realize until I asked what on earth he was doing.

I was going to comment something similar, hah. In elementary school when taking off snow gear I took my socks off and began taking my jeans off and I caught myself before I actually took them off but I remember being mortified.

Sometimes I often think if that ever happens in the security lines at the airport. It's almost happened to me before

lol I think I've done something like that. I can't remember what specifically but I started taking more clothes off then what I was supposed to do, and I stopped and thought, wait a minute!

I wanna see that.

I did the same thing in middle school getting geared up for football practice. Went into the locker room and stripped down completely before I realized where I was.

I've done this a few times at work as i was going for my lunch break.

At my wax place I always take off my pants and underwear when I get in the room.... Well one day the lady was rushing me and I started to take everything off and was like...oh..woops..

Ahaha this is the funniest comment I have seen on Reddit. I wish I had gold to give you. I died holy shit

I’ve done something similar! I’ve worked in Italian restaurants for a while which means I always wear a long black apron and button down shirt. Twice now, I’ve been standing at the bar after my shift and started unbutton my shirt instead of untying my apron. I got it all the way down once (thankfully I wore a tank top that day).

Back in the day I went with some friends to see Braveheart, which is a LOOOOOONG movie. Afterwards, my friend Joe and I quickly headed ro the bathroom because we had planned our beverages poorly for such a long movie. we were talking animatedly about the film and then we patted ways, with him going into the men's room and me going into the ladies' room.

Or so I thought. I was a good 5 or 6 paces into the bathroom when it dawned on me I could still hear him talking. I spun around to see him actually unbuckling his pants. I yelled his name and he froze instantly, and then ran for his life. Like, I have no memory of him leaving because that's how fast he fled. I lost my shit, thankfully not literally. I was still laughing when I exited the ladies' room (which was full of women).
