I always remember that I have a discount gas credit card just after I’ve paid with my regular credit card.

When I leave a parking garage during the day, my lights are on until I’m at my destination, remove the key, and hear the lights-on warning.

I always forget what to do with my pot after I fry hamburgers. I look at the junk stuck to the bottom and think I’d better soak this in soap. Right after I put in the soap I remember that it’s good to use that pot to make soup. The soup gets some extra flavor and the bottom gets boiled clean without effort. I think I manage to remember this trick one time in 10. Note that I use a pot and not a frying pan specifically so I can make soup later. But that’s not a strong enough mnemonic I guess.
Mmmm-pot soup.
I mis-read OPs.
If I go someplace new, and make a wrong turn on my way … wanna guess the chances that I’ll make the same damn mistake every time from then on?
I’ll think, “Oh, this is the place where I turned right instead of going straight … or was it the other way around? No, it was definitely the other way around.”
Then after a while the “wrong” route looks more familiar, because it’s the way I went the last time, and then I’m just screwed.
Dating the same kind of man over and over–the kind I apparently attract, for some reason. The ones who would most likely be good for me barely notice me. The ones I shouldn’t be with under any circumstances? Yeah, they’re the ones who ask me out.
I’d say your biggest mistake is frying hamburgers. :eek: My God, man, go buy a grill!
There’s this lab I’ve gone to at least a dozen times for uh, various experiments I’ve took part in. It’s in the basement of a building and the door to the stairwell is really inconspicuous. Every single time I go there, without fail, when I am ready to leave I walk right by the stairs and get about 15 feet or more down the hall until I realize I passed it.
Many business in my area are closed on Mondays. I work a half day on Mondays myself, and often run errands or do shopping after work. Time after time I drive to businesses that are closed on Mondays, on a Monday. Grrrrrrrrrrrrr.
Typing. I have to enter the command “sh int status” about 15 - 20 times a day at work. I will consistantly type “sh itn status” then have to pause while I figure out why I didn’t get the display I expected. There are several other entries like that, but that one is the one that drives me crazy.

Using the wrong macros and hotkeys when I switch between applications. Why does every other Office application except Outlook use <ctrl> F to “search”, but when I unthinkingly do that in an Outlook e-mail it interprets it as my wish to forward the e-mail? And then I have to close the new e-mail screen, go back and hit function key <F4> to search. I do that at least five times a day.
I pay my car payment online, and EVERY SINGLE MONTH I forget what specific name and password I used, because about every four months I get mad at not remembering and reset everything. Which perpetuates the problem.
And when I finally get it right, I’m so annoyed/frustrated I don’t take the time to either notice or write down what worked.
So I do it again THE NEXT MONTH.
I don’t have this problem with any other of a myriad of applications I use frequently. I have some kind of Perpetual Stupid that kicks in when my car payment is due.
I have a hard time not typing “ration” every time I really mean “ratio.”
I leave my half-filled coffee cup in the car when I get to work, and then have to turn around to go get it.
- Go to new restaurant.
- “Hmm, A looks good, I’ll try that.”
- “Oh, that’s not what I was expecting. I won’t order that again.”
- Return to same restaurant some time later.
- “Hmm, A looks good, I’ll try that.”
- “'Hm, this seems familiar… :smack: .”
I’m with you on that. Although I’m breaking that habit and marrying a guy who is good for me instead of the jerks I usually dated.
Starting a thoughtful reply to a thread but never
I’m with kapri- I consistently fall for the wrong guy.
Perhaps you should ask them?
Thanks, Koxinga. I never bothered to try to figure out how to search in my Outlook emails. I also repeatedly hit <ctrl> F to do it. Now I know. Ignorance fought!
Every single time I use the stove at home to cook something, I accidentally turn on the wrong burner. Every. Single. Time. Five minutes go by before I realize that my food’s not cooking. I was brought up on a “Right Front, Right Rear, Left Front, Left Rear” labeled stove and I just can’t get the hang of the diagram type stove.

Why??!???!! :smack:
I always fail to check my pockets for tissues or other loose items before doing laundry.
Board related: when playing the Feuds, I always put down the first answer that comes to mind instead of what I think other people will say.
