Everyone point and laugh at my brain fart

mocha beans

So, I bought laundry detergent a few weeks ago, but not what I normally get cause they were out of stock.  Being that I was tired and cranky when I was shopping at the time, I just grabbed whatever bottle was there and out the door I went, after paying of course.  I just now realized that the bottle of Downy that I bought, is in fact not detergent, but fabric softener only *facepalm*.  I'm an idiot.  For the last few weeks, I've been washing all our clothes in fabric softener, not detergent.  I'm mildly skeeved out now.  But my clothes do smell good!

Being as this is a post and run because I'm off to work, what're you're brain fart moments?  Gimmie something entertaining to glance at quick while I'm at work.

You bet you do smell Downey fresh.

I actually don't have brain farts... because I am perfect.

Woops! Hot water still kills a huge amount of germs though so you should be ok (or am I pulling that out of my bum? I swear I read it somewhere.)

No joke, the other day I forgot the password to my gmail. I check my email about twice a day, and it's the same password I use for most other things so there is no reason to forget it. I just stared at my computer and felt like crying.

I really thought today was Monday. No idea why, I have apparently repressed this past Monday and Tuesday.

You have no idea how many times I've gotten home to find out I bought 2 bottles of shampoo instead of a shampoo and conditioner.

I sometimes try to open my front door using my keyless entry fob for my truck. Only sometimes.

Awwww @ brain farts!

Why on earth did I think buying landscaping rocks would be in the thousands of dollars?!  Maybe it was because ot the HOA letter we got ahem, "Courtesy Warning" and 10 days before the fines kick in!

I've done that before! I'm glad I'm not the only one.

I could not remember the word "hasbrowns" last night.

Granted, I was just home from the gym and a little out if it, but it was kinda funny. 

I was like, "hey hun, do you want some, uh, you know, those potatoes thingys shaped like this?"  "Hashbrowns?"  "YEAH!  those!"

I frequently answer my cell and house phone with my work greeting.

The bathroom at work requires a key to get in. I have my own key, which is usually in my pocket all day. I've walked up to the door and tried to open it without a key before. Sometimes while the key is in one hand.

A coworker and I frequently dress alike, completely unprovoked.  It's real embarrassing to go into a meeting with our director when we look like we called each other to coordinate our outfits (especially when it's really random like grey plaid pants and a pink shirt).

Sometimes I don't quite turn the handle all the way to a door before trying to walk through it and run into it with my face instead. Sexy.

I guess both of you got the memo :)

Yesterday was apparently "blue" day, everyone had on a blue shirt, and here I am in green... WTH!

My brain farts usually include me standing in the kitchen with an ingredient in my hand and no idea what i was going to do with it.

Last night I sat staring at thawed chicken breasts wondering what I had intended them to be.  Luckily, H remembers stuff.  I just ask him and he recaps all my kitchen muttering until i remember.

That would be bad if I washed all of our clothes in Downy, I am allergic to that stuff and break out in hives like crazy. 

My brain farts are usually car-related.  My car has the push button start and the doors will unlock if I have the keyfob in my purse and just grab the handle.  Well, DH's car doesn't have either.  So I've gotten in his car before and I've pushed the brake and reached up to push the button to start the car...and nothing.  I've also walked up to his and pulled on the handle to no avail, thinking something is wrong with his car.  Nope, something is just wrong with me.

I do this with my work badge sometimes.  We have to wave our badge at a sensor to get in the building and get into our work area, and I'll wave it at home or at doors that don't have sensors.  Duh

This weekend we were painting fence sections in the garage and I asked the husband where he had put the paint brush I was using, after looking around for a minute I realized it was in my hand.

I do this with sunglasses on my head too. I'm old I'm allowed.

@Jen- I do the phone thing too.

I"m the queen of walking into a room and completely forgetting what I was going to do.

I'm also known to forget passwords. I have so many of them I can't keep them all straight.

I pulled on the door to the gym four times yesterday, and it wouldn't open. I even stood there for a while, annoyed, because the guy at the desk was too busy yapping to unlock it for me.

It dawned on me that it was a push door. Midvale school for the gifted right here.

If it makes you feel better, I have heard that most people use too much detergent anyway. If you put just water and clothes in your washer and suds form during the agitation cycle, there was still soap in there from last time. You should be fine. 

AllAboutTheBenjamin

I win the brain fart - in college I ran out of dishwasher detergent and yeah... I used a little bit of Dawn instead. 

I'm a huge dumbass, though.

One time I bought different detergent than I usually use and found out I was allergic to it.  I was wearing some freshly washed clothes at the gym, started sweating... and then violently itching.

PaigeMcC

I went to the movies last night.  When it was finished I headed to my car and couldn't figure out why it wouldn't unlock.  I stood there and stared at the blue Mazda for a minute...then the light came on.  I got rid of the Mazda 2 years ago.  I have a red Yaris now.

oops.

Ever tried opening your front door with your car button?  ...Yeah, I'm exceptionally dense.

I had someone do that with my car once. I was walking towards my car, hit the unlock from about 2 cars away (forgot to park) and someone just walked up and opened the door. I yelled and they backed away, then started laughing and apologized. They used to own a red Passat and she had hit the unlock button to her car (parked 2 down the row) at the same time and just opened the door.

Oh, I have a keycard for the parking garage at work and I sometimes/often try to use it at other parking garages, like the gym. It would be cool if it worked.

Oh, and I was the victim of someone else's bran fart last weekend.

H and I were at the movies and there was a big group of people in front of us trying to decide where to sit. So I was standing there looking down at my phone, waiting, when all of a sudden one of the guys grabbed my arm and said, "come on, we're sitting up there." I jerked back and he was like, "What's your problem?" then saw me and realized I wasn't his sister.

I jsut laughed it off but man did his friends and family make fun of him. In his defense, we both had long brown hair and had on similiar clothes.

And I just got really annoyed with S because he said he has tomorrow off and I said he didn't because tomorrow is Wednesday and his day off is Thursday. I'm thinking I might go back to bed lol.

I walked out of a gas station once and there was a woman sitting in my car looking dumbfounded.  I knocked on the window and she said her keys wouldn't work.  So I politely told her that she wasn't in her own car, I had a red G6 at the time and she had a red Accord.  I guess you could confuse the two?  The best part, after she got out of my car, I went to get in and busted my knees on the dashboard.  I'm 5'10" she was about 5'.  Wouldn't the first clue have been when she sat down and the seat was waaaaaay to far back?  Oh well, it was hilarious.
