Did something really stupid yesterday, after the weekly shop at the supermarket I waltzed out of the store leaving my credit card in the till card reader, I have never done that before and did not realize my error until this morning.
I returned to the store and was surprised to be informed that they get about 6 a day which made me feel a bit better. The system that they had in place was obviously well tried and tested but thankfully I got mine back without any issues after flashing my Police FAC as ID but wonder if it had happened in a less public place or corner shop if there would have been such an happy outcome.

You need to put it on a teather...

At least you remembered what you went to the store for. I have walked out into the parking lot and realized the one item I needed was not purchased.Once it was a trip to buy a chicken for supper. That was years ago, it doesn't get better.
Wait until you get up and walk into the kitchen and can't remember why.

I started out to the supermarket with my credit card in hand to get a ?......at the hardware store I picked up a pair of pliers and had no cash so I went to the library and read the tabloids. Went back home and couldn't remember why I went out in the first place.

Once I was in the middle of changing TV channels and headed to the kitchen for a beer. My wife called out for an ice cream. I brought her the ice cream and my beer and left the remote control in the freezer..

I walked into my kitchen the other day to retrieve my socks from the refrigerator - and what worries me is that I don't know why I had put them there in the first place!

Whereas I have intentionally put wet socks in the microwave for a fast dry cycle, forgotten them and been caught out by SWWBO.

I left my card in a news agents and did not use my wallet for 3 or 4 days. When I finally looked in my wallet, I went through the rigmarole of cancelling the card, etc. I then remembered when I last used it and returned to the shop. They had it, along with many others.
Got it back and cut it up.
Still, I have to look at my id card every morning, just to remind myself who I am :D

Senility creeps in like cat feet in the fog !!!
I've lost count the times I've gone into the garage and when I get there have no idea what I went there for .
I'm 57, I can see my future and it isn't 'pretty' !!!!!! :D

Sky Pilot: Monte, Do you believe in the hereafter?
Mongo: Sure do, Padre. I'll go into my kitchen and forget what I'm here after.
OK. Sorry for that old 'un. Must be a senility thang. [smiley=undecided.gif]

I hopped on my bicycle a couple of weeks ago and pedaled the 25km to work (I try to do this 3 times a week).
Got to work, had a shower and settled behind desk and only then wondered why place was empty, and for that matter why was the building so quiet. Then penny dropped -
uit was a public holiday.

At least you got a bath.

At least that wouldn't happen to me, as I have to do a hybrid commute if I bicycle -- 9 miles on the bike to catch a bus the rest of the way to work. The buses don't run on my holidays.
This morning sucked anyway -- foggy/misty/dark. I keep telling myself "At least you're not on a treadmill!" though it sort of feels like I am.

Seem to have hit a rich vein here... I am digging some fence post holes(7) tomorrow hope I put them in the right place, or even in the right garden the way things are going................... anything is possible.

These electronic machines never seem to stop beeping at me. But the ones that never beep are the card readers in shops and banks. That's just the ones that SHOULD beep to remind me my card is inside them.
