I was a travel nurse working in Phoenix. I went out to leave and the truck wouldnt start. I was neyond mad. We arent supposed to miss any days because our contracts are only for 13 weeks. So, i called and said o couldnt make it in. Hunby comes home and i get worked up all over again. Guess what, its starts right up for hom. After he burst up laughing he figured out what went wrong. I forgot to push the clutch in!!! Id only been driving stick for 35 yrs!! Yrs later, he still asks me if the clutch is working!!! I felt soooo dumb

At work I would occasionally try to use my telephone to add up figures instead of my ten key adding machine.

Thanks to y'all for making my day by admitting to such stuff. LOL! LOL! What a hoot! I left my admission here a day or so ago. I am no longer "getting" old. I am just old. I have done almost all the things you have done... with remotes, telephones, plus a few times plugging in an electrical appliance and turning on a different one and wondering why it didn't work. I love this thread! I love y'all! We could write a book....

I just tried to call someone on my TV remote control. Glad I am in good company.

I picked up my purse to go to my craft group yesterday and it felt much heavier than usual. Looked inside and found my cell phone And my home phone. You are knot alone. I already knew I was old.

My husband has a stick shift and my car is automatic. I don't drive his often but I never ever forget to put in the clutch, however when I get into my car I try to put in the clutch. You would think that since I rarely drive his car I would be more likely to forget the clutch....never happens. The mind is a strange thing.

I totaled our minivan, and we decided that since we no longer have to tote hordes of teenagers here and there, we'd go a bit more upscale with a Chrysler 300. Pushbutton for all kinds of things: multiple buttons to adjust the seat 3,678 different ways, a button to adjust the outside mirrors, electronic "keys" that you never have to take out of your purse or pocket -- more buttons that lock or unlock the door and start the car.

But we couldn't figure out how to adjust the rearview mirror. Where's the button for *that* mirror? We looked all over, looked in the car's instruction manual (Well *I* did. DH didn't want to.), nothing. So we finally called the dealership. We explained the problem to the young lady who answered the phone. "Umm...you just move it with your hand."

When I'm cooking something, I've been known to put the ingredients back in the wrong place. Non-refrigerated stuff has been found in the fridge, and (worse) supposed-to-be refrigerated stuff has been found in the cab!nets, hours or days later. I'm not getting old, though. I'm just super-busy. Yeah, that's it.
