What have you done that you look back upon and slap yourself on the forehead?

When I first got my PS4 I didn't read the packaging (of course), so I had no idea that the controllers were both rechargeable & wireless, I simply attached them to the USB sockets on the device.

I wrote an email to Sony UK to complain that I had to sit too close to the TV and that it was spoiling my gaming experience and received a very polite email back informing me that they should be disconnected when playing and they didn't call me stupid.

Beat that, fellow blues.

Someone whatsapped my group with a close up photo of a plump belly wearing a football shirt with a caption of 'who's this?' I replied, 'it has to be a fat man as it has it has a beer belly and next to no titties, but no idea who.' He replied that it was his pregnant wife.


Or sister if this was a norwich shirt.

A few years ago I used to drink in a nice pub called the rising sun, hadn't been in a while as I didn't have a job, so no money to drink. I then saw an advert online for a bar job at the rising sun, applied got an email to go for an interview. Turned up at what was a favoured drinking hole of mine to find out there's another pub about a mile away with the same name.

Finest fillet steak = cow. You are what you eat, therefore fillet steak is processed grass, and therefore a vegetable.

This impeccable logic works for cheese, wine and brandy and so on.

I've cracked this five-a-day lark.

Grass is vegetable? What about rice? I guess everything is a vegetable so we are all vegans.

I like it. I'm going to go tell everyone I know about my vegan-ness.

Got myself trapped in a disabled lift where I used to work. It had a glass door and the place was heaving with people who all thought they were comedians.

I had the emergency release key with me but no way of getting it out.

That was a really long couple of hours.

Back in the day when I was a virile young buck I regularly had a fruitful arrangement with a young lady who lodged at a house near my local. On my 22nd birthday I'd been thirsty all day and by the end of the night was extremely weary, so ambled round to the house and let myself in. Went into the bedroom, stripped off and jumped in the bed for a cuddle. Unfortunately, in my tired and emotional delirium I'd gone in the wrong bedroom and was cuddling up to the owner of the houses' mother who was staying over.

She screamed a bit, I screamed a bit, the owner and my friend I meant to cuddle rushed in and sorted it out.

normal life....

sat at home one Saturday night, I was casually flicking through facebook and a mate has posted..

"cant believe sky have got the Haye fight on channel 636 (or whatever it was) for free*"

so I grab remote, press the buttons..... turns out its Gay Chat, have a giggle to myself that he's got me.. and put on MOTD thats recording on sky+.... anyway, I fall asleep watching MOTD, wake up at 5am on the sofa, TV has turned itself off, I go up to bed.

I go down in the morning to the wife sitting in the kitchen looking horrified, "can you tell me what you watched on TV lastnight and why!?"..
"match of the day, why"
turns out the Sky box goes back to the last channel you were viewing AFTER a recorded program finishes....
she's woken up, put the TV on... Gay Chat!

had all the proof to back that story up, thankfully!

Radio 1 used to do roadshows on beaches up and down the country where you could go along and see the latest bands and have a day out at the beach.

As a horny 18 year old, I went to one in Southend with a female friend who I had always hoped would become more than just a mate. She was always flirting with me and had been the one who suggested going to the roadshow so I had assumed the best.

A few beers in and during one of her favourite songs I reached out to hold her hand and was so pleased when she grasped my nervous paw. After a minute of cheesy hand swaying I looked across and smiled only to see she was dancing alone about 2 metres to my right. I was holding the hand of a very happy 9 or 10 year old whose hand I threw away immediately.

I’m still in touch with my friend who signs all my birthday/Christmas cards off with “he’s the one mummy” 27 years later.

Related, I was on a field trip in Jura about 20 years ago. A few of us got talking to some locals in the bar and had one too many scotch followed by more. As the bar was winding down they said they'd crack open a bottle at their place just up the road and have a bit of a party - told us where they lived and said we were welcome to go ahead, help ourselves from the drinks cabinet and they'd follow along.

So we todlled of down the road and let ourselves into their place. Couldn't find the drinks cabinet but found a bottle in the kitchen and started tucking in. Obviously thoughts then turned to music so we started having a look a round for a stereo. Cue much rooting around; nothing in the kitchen or lounge. So opened up another door, pinged on the light and walked straight into the bedroom of an old couple who were sat up in bed looking absolutely terrified.

Much apologising and backtracking later we found out we should have been next door .

Forest away, some time in my mid twenties. Hostile atmosphere, home fans shouting abuse from the tier above us etc. I stood up, started off at full volume "Give us an Eye... Pee... Ess......" about as far as I got, having forgotten how to spell Ipswich. Sat down again.

Im sure i've had many in my lifetime.

for instance the time i texted my boss instead of my wife whilst working from home to say "im so bored, cant wait for you to get home"

many years ago (i was about 17) i worked in a warehouse as a weekend job, there was a knock at the door and it was an oldish lady asking for a colleague - i found said colleague and said "theres someone at the door" - he said "who is it" and i said "its your mum"

unfortunately unbeknownst to me his mum had died the previous day.

im sure there are many others. but those 2 spring to mind
