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.

I had an awful one relatively recently.

I popped in The Bell (I don't know why because I don't know anyone in there and I don't like the pub) and I had a beer and then went to leave. As i left via the rear exit leading through the smoking area there was a largish gathering of people and I heard someone say "Goodbye". Because I am a polite person I turned round and said "Goodbye". I then noticed about a dozen people looking at me as if I were an idiot. It turns out this women was saying goodbye to someone on her phone. They all stood stoney faced, I went to my car and as I closed the doors I heard a roar of belly laughter.

At a colleague's retirement do years ago, hanging about with him before all the speeches and shlt, we were chatting about crap gifts and I blurted out "could be worse, could be a lawnmower" , which was what we had bought him. The stony silence from everyone around would have left him with no doubt that I had just given the game away. Still, he carried off the surprised and grateful look very graciously as it was presented to him


Sounds a bit cra p when written down, but as an 18 year old i was mortified by what I had done. Admitting it here may help me finally come to terms with it.

I did spend the night before the play-off semi final at Bramhall Lane wittering incessantly
on about the match to a young lady (I was young, drunk and excited for the football). Whilst I made it back to her's that night she didn't want to talk to me again.

I have made the same mistake with germaloids and crest toothpaste. I had numb gums and the mintiest fresh farts in East Anglia.
