Glad to hear you’re okay, at least. Just think of it as a practice run before winter hits. 😉 ---

I was reading this thread and thinking "No, it was _yesterday_ that I was forgetful – then I realized this thread was a day old. I forgot my glasses yesterday and had to go home early and work from there because I couldn’t read very well in my office without them. –Cliffy ---

I keep managing to put my undies on inside out. :smack: I’ve done it three times _this month_. :rolleyes: ---

A number of years ago, I was at a public swimming pool. I walked out of the locker room and got all the way to the pool before feeling a breeze where there shouldn’t have been one. Sure enough, I had forgotten to put my trunks on. At least I was holding a towel, which got wrapped around me at the speed of light. ---

Yeah, there must be something going on. Last night I was at a short fiction reading in the school library. I was still wearing my crossing guard uniform, because I had been so busy that day I didn’t have time to change it. Finally the reading was over at 9:45, and I could trudge back to my car (I was very tired) and drive home. Halfway to the car I realize I left my jacket in the Library. In the fifth floor :smack: Ate up a good 20 minutes I could have been snoozing away at home :mad: ---

My stupid action of the day Today is laundry day so I checked pockets on all pants _except_ yesterdays. Therefore, when I went to retrieve my clothes from the dryer. guess what I found? About thirty dollars cash (a twenty, a five, and a couple of ones) a credit car, and my entire wallet. AHH! If someone had investigated my laundry I’d be in big trouble. As it is I’m just ticked at myself. ---

You know, all you have to do now is starch and iron the bills, and they and the coins will all be like fresh from the mint. I hear there’s a fancy hotel in San Francisco where they’ll do that for their guests. ---

No coins, I think I managed to remove the coins from their pocket(not the same as the one the wallet goes in). The twenty has some really weird crinkles in it, the ones are crumpled more normally. If I don’t iron my clothes, why would I iron my money? ---

And I wrote a completely perfect sentence with a completely wrong verb in it. I blame all of you. And the migrane. Professor: I have good news and bad news. The good news is you wrote your name in absolutely perfect Chinese, and I have never seen a more beautifully written sentence despite the incorrect verb. The bad news: you took French this semester. ---

I managed to trip up 3 times, just walking up 12 steps, in a lecture hall, in front about 100 students. :smack: [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/so-today-i-left-for-work-without-a-shirt-on/274038.md?page=2)
