Accidentally left my cell phone in the fridge. Was living in Israel then.
Had the door open for a bit and I saw a cat, slammed the door. Suddenly, my fridge started vibrating. I thought a cat got into the fridge somehow, so I panicked, and desperately tried calling my husband. Phone was on silent, so I decided to text him. But I couldn’t find my cell phone. So I used the house phone to call my cell over and over so I can find it. And proceeded to keep freaking out at my fridge vibrating and buzzing like that.
Don’t remember how long it took me to put 2 and 2 together. Couldn’t stop laughing afterwards.

I was having a very tiring day and decided to try to cheer myself up by making my family a nice lavish supper for a weekday. Mind you I couldnt smell anything. I was home cooking ehile everyone was out. Two hours in my family starting coming home and saying ma what’s burning. I said I don’t know what you’re talking about. I came into the kitchen and saw my oven at 450 instead of 350. Every thing I made was burnt to a crisp. Well that was a real kspparah. Bh my family was kind enough to help clean up and decided to order in.
Lesson learned always cook when you’re awake.

Washing machine was in my tiny apartment kitchen.
One day I put a load in, was about to put the lemon breeze detergent in but the door bell rang. I put the yellow bottle of detergent down, ran to get the doorbell, deal with the delivery then remembered I didnt put the detergent in yet and proceeded to pour canola oil in the washing machine.

I cried for a very long time. Most of the clothing never recovered and my machine needed to be cleaned multiple times and tested with rags before I could actually use it to clean our laundry.
I have also never used yellow detergent bottles since.

Put the kettle on the stove. It was an electric kettle and always had electric ones so made no sense. Turned on the stove and kettle melted (was plastic). I returned to the kitchen and well it's typical me because I have ADHD so we thought it was funny (also nothing happened)

Sth similar happened to me with a lint shaver once. I was sitting there for over 20 minutes and thought huh what on earth? Why isn't this getting better? The cover was still on in front and so I felt and heard the vibration but the lint shaver couldn't do anything. I was so annoyed 😁

One time I was sitting on the couch and my roommate came over looking for her phone. I shifted a bit in my seat to look for it and said nope, not here. A minute later she calls it on a different roommate's phone and the left half of my butt vibrates. I call out that I found it and she asks where it was. "I, uh, seem to have been sitting on it". Didn't feel a thing until it rang.

I’ve done that as well.
And I only realize because the timer rang two hours later.

Laughing so hard at some of these!

Ran the bath without putting the plug in. I was so tired and wasn't sure why it was taking so long to fill! Dh noticed it.
