"Why did I just do that?"

Ever had moments where you've thought that? Not in a guilty sense; more of a confused sense. You know, when you do things without realising which you wouldn't or shouldn't normally do when your in a sober state of mind, just through lack of concentration or something.

Like ... I dunno - ever gone to brush your teeth, and you inadvertently "press" the toothpaste onto the brush, which obvious you don't do - you squeeze it. Then you find out that you accidentally put hand wash on it or something?

I just thought this'd be a good idea for a fun topic. There hasn't been much going on here really and everyone's turned their attention to the Games forum.

So, got any good ones?

I've been known to sniff the top of a bottle of Coke before to see if it's gone off. Normally I only do that with milk, but I make so much tea nowadays that I just do it every time I make a drink!

I ordered a beer in McDonalds in Blackpool once instead of a big mac meal.

Mind you it was on a stag do after a few.

Well at least you don't stir it with your finger!

I once walked into a McDonalds and bought a meal, then walked out before it was even made. I think it was my sub-concious way of telling me to stay healthy =D

I have to laugh at myself sometimes. When I make a tea and want to take the tea bag out of my cup, sometimes I take it out with my fingers.

Hmmm... usually takes a few seconds for the immemse pain of boiling hot water to register before the realisation of how stupid I'd been. My Physics A-Level obviously didn't teach me anything.

I almost poured sugar onto my cereal thinking it was milk. That would have been sweet though thinking about it...

I'm guilty of that, but only once and it was a morning when I actually knew what I was doing. I just didn't know that would happen because I'd never done it before!

haha! Milk in the kettle. I've never actually heard of anyone doing that. Heard of people putting juice on their cereal though!
