Okay....do you ever get days when you think....this could only happen to me!!!

Oh dear that's so embarrassing when something like that happens.. My worst moment was so embarrassing. I had started to cross the road to go to the chemist opposite , suddenly I was aware of an oncoming car, and quickly ran across. Well I caught my foot on the kerb and went flying towards the shop doors, by extreme luck two women came out together pushing open both doors. By now I was twisting and heading downwards totally out of any control, then bang,  I completely bowled over two young ladies who stepped into my path as i rolled through the entrance. Not content on attempting to kill two girls, I ended up in an embarrassing embrace with older lady as we came to a crashing stop on the floor. Luck and thank God nobody was hurt badly, but I was so embarrassed. 

Amanda...I loved our embrace....being that older girl I needed to " catch you ".....so glad we met....even by chance xxxx

Love is often found in some funny moments, gosh I truly swept you off your feet sweetie, if I remember your perfume was lovely xxx

Amanda was it older womens perfume  by any chance, Tweed or something like of that era,

WE CAN BE HEROS, JUST FOR ONE DAY

Oh you pretty things

Freak out in a moonage day dream

Oh yeah

My examples are the usual dumb things, arriving home with something I had intended to buy but was right next to what I intended to get.
Or like today, my day to do the shopping. I finally got ready to go, usual hour and a half in the bathroom. I got down to the parking lot and there was one of my neighbors who I hadn’t see since the pandemic started so we spent 20 minutes getting caught up. I finally got in the car and was half way to the store when I realized that I hadn’t brought the shopping list with me. So I turned around went back home got the list. Drove back to the store. I managed to get everything on the list I thought. I got home and was putting things away when I realized I didn’t have half of the meals for my lunch OH GOD! Had I left them in the trunk of the car? Had I not gotten them from the cart and put them in the trunk? Back down three flights of stairs to check the trunk, NOT THERE. Flash of incite I checked the cash register ticket. The items were not listed, Apparently I had looked in the freezer case and not actually picked anything up. Next time must remember to engage brain!

As I always say senility is a hell of a handicap to work under!!

Yes one of those days!!!!

Hi Grace, You signed off as Kentucky Woman.  Now I know you were referring to JD BUT whenever I see Kentucky Woman I think of the song by Deep Purple.  Especially when you were taking me down memory lane with Cream (one of my favourite bands when I was a young lad in High School) and then with David Bowie.

Oh yes, your question, shopping disasters, wasn't it?  Gosh, I'm sure I had plenty.  Before I retired, I did a lot of travelling all over North America during my career. My worst experience shopping for femme clothing happened in Boston.  I went to a big department store, five sales gals (all in their 50s or 60s) were chirping to each other at the customer help desk in the lingerie department. More sales staff than customers.  I went up to the group and asked for help finding a certain brand of bra. Basically they just ignored me with the attitude of "don't bother us while we are chatting" and "move along". It was stressful enough having to ask for their help (With employee attitudes like that, I'm sure that store has gone out of business by now).

Well that brought back unpleasant memories.  Can't leave without being positive. How about Cheers to the Best of British rock!!!!!  I'll drink to that.   Big Hugs, Krista.

Are we talking about Jack Daniel's? Kentucky? Seriously? Tennessee, my girl, Tennessee! Lynchburg, Tennessee! This Tennessee native girl cannot have her state besmirched by the statement that Jack Daniel's is from Kentucky. That's like saying champagne is German, or schnapps is Italian. Or fish n chips is from Morocco.

But to the matter at hand, I did manage to knock over an entire display of canned goods once. I ran out of there without anything, leaving my cart of stuff behind, and didn't go back to that store for weeks. I was completely mortified.

Grace,

I haven't had anything as disastrous, at least directly.  But I have had two incidents, one of which, via the "butterfly effect," played a part in getting into a car accident and getting a new car.

During the pandemic, my supermarket changed the deli counter to a remote operation only by putting up a kiosk for you to order, and then pick up later.  Partly because of this, I was able to do my shopping en femme, because one of the deli workers might recognize me from my order.  For several weeks, I have been asking for one brand of roast beef, find the label with that brand, but when I taste it a day or two later I discover it was a different brand.  Well one week I get home, and find the outer bag labeled that it contains roast beef, but inside what they put was not even the wrong brand of roast beef, it was ham (and I don't eat ham!).

So I went back on a Sunday morning en femme to the courtesy counter to complain. I told the manager about the problems I had getting the wrong brand of roast beef, and then getting the ham.  He went back to the deli counter and brought me some of the roast beef.  When I went to eat it the next day, it was the wrong brand.  Apparently they were unable to give the right brand even to the manager (it was labeled correctly but I could tell from the taste.)  That was the last straw, and after that I started to go to another store from the same chain (where they were taking orders in person).

Come the end of summer, I decided to go to the beach (en femme).  I packed a change of (female) clothes so I could go to the supermarket on the way home, and promptly left them at home.  So I had to go home, change, and then head out to the supermarket.  Because of all this timing, I ended up in an auto accident (en femme) when someone made a left turn into a parking lot directly in front of me. Other than some bruises, I was unhurt.  Of course, had the first supermarket been able to get my order right, or I had packed the change of clothes, I wouldn't have been at that spot at that time.

A few months later I ordered some cheese from the deli at the 2nd supermarket.  When I was putting it away I noticed a dark spot on in the bag.  I opened it up to confirm, and sure enough it was mold.  It was on the end slice which meant they should have seen it when they put it into the slicer.  Anyway, I brought it back within the hour (again en femme) to the courtesy counter and got my money back.

Wow Alison....that's quite a story....mis placed beef, mouldy cheese...and a car accident....

So glad you survived..

I get my cheese in these foolproof  re sealable bags.....and quite often I eventually get a spot of mould ....but how does it get in????😂😂

Oh Bridgette...I'm so ashamed....of course it's not Kentucky....I bought some Jim beam red stag once and got confused.....and I can't spell tenniss, tenisea, tenacee, tennicee...........oh sod it!!??

Think I need to do a post on memory loss!!!!!

Heartfelt commiserations to lynchburg......😭😭😭😭
