Left the house, went to the store, walked to the bus and boarded before realizing I'd only buttoned the bottomed two buttons on my shirt (neck to mid-low abdomen exposed). Fortunately I was wearing an undershirt but still.....

I think I bought a book earlier and then left it on the counter at the charity shop i bought it in. But I can't remember what the book is. I can just think about what was on the price tag and where i bought it.
& I did manage to walk out of a shop without what I bought last week after messing around trying to get the right change for the counter assistant. Thankfully he called me back as I left but god, felt really embarrassed and annoyed at myself.

I spend hours at work, reviewing the procedures, waiting to be given something to do. Then when I actually get something I display the memory of a goldfish.

I was listening to the last minute or so of a podcast while waiting for the subway. I take my kindle out of my bag since I want to read on the subway and put it on the bench next to me. Subway arrives, I get on. At this point, I am listening to the podcast that was next in the queue. About 2 stations later I realize I no longer have my kindle. I go back but the kindle is gone. Contacted lost and found multiple times in the last week but nothing turned up. This sucks. RIP kindle, I will replace you eventually.

Somehow, $25 worth of shrimp disappeared between my putting it in the cart and checking out.

xp, Put in wrong cart?
A co-worker once bought like a 20-lb bag of frozen shrimp, put it in the trunk of his car, and forgot about it by the time he got home. Only remembered days later when he smelled it.

I think it got hung on the edge of the conveyor belt and never moved forward for me to scan it, and I didn't notice until I got home.

Wow. Worst I've done is poured cereal into a cup.
Once a ticket collector on a train asked for my ticket, I showed him my book for a few seconds and didn't understand why it wasn't accepted.

I tried to pay for a movie with my library card. Last Tuesday I wrote a check to someone, folded it up and put it in my wallet, and handed the person my checkbook instead.

bought some apples at a farm stand. like anywhere you hand them the fruit, they weigh it, tell you the price and you give them the money.
on Sunday I was just on autopilot or something. I handed the farmer my bag of apples and $5. he takes the apples but not the money. I try to hand him the money again, like some kind of defective robot.
he gives me this look (and I come by every week so he knows that I know how this works) and he says 'I have to weigh them before I can take your money'
mr veg is standing next to me all 'lol wtf'
booooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooop *no signal*

I was walking around with a letter, looking around for a mailbox. I finally stopped to search for one on the USPS app and realized I was leaning on one.

Did you ever glance at the warnings about package size and then drop your parcel in there without considering its weight? I felt so bad when I did this, fortunately it wasn't that big and honestly wasn't a bomb, just some heavy books...

Last week I wore my t-shirt inside out to work and did not realize it until I went into the bathroom at lunch.
I also once wore two different shoes to work. They did sort of look alike.

I was checking out at the doctor's office. To my left are the big glass double doors that lead out to the hallway where the elevators are and a smaller wooden door that leads into a supply closet. I grab the key to the women's bathroom, and promptly walk into the supply closet. It takes me what feels like a really long time to figure out what the hell is happening, but it probably was only a couple of seconds. I came out, made a dumb joke, went out the correct doors and to the bathroom.
Then I came back, dropped the key off in the tray on the reception desk, and walked into the supply closet again.

I hope you pretended the second closet trip was an intentional joke. (Bow, "Thank you ladies and germs.")

I ran out the door without making eye contact and then went to a dark bar to hide while I waited for a prescription to be filled.
But I have to return in a week. Sigh.
