What was the oddest place you've ever place an item?

[Draxz]

We all have Brain Farts, every now and then which cause us to do strange things we wouldn't normally do. We try and reason logic into these actions and never find a suitable explanation to why we do these things, apart from said "Brain Farts."


So here's the rules:-
It can be anything at all! Any Item in any Place.

My top three would be;

Placing the kettle in the fridge.
Pouring a glass of water to drink but instead I placed it back inside the cupboard.
& Going to the ATM and try inserting a £5 note into the Card Slot.


Post as many as you want! I've not found un-amusement from hearing the randomness of these things.

Iv'e put my house keys and cellphone in the fridge . Then forgot , and looked for them everywhere .

That's all i got , i'm boring like that.

 

[Johnny Novgorod]

Leaving the salt in the fridge. Several times.
That's it. Nothing terribly exciting.

I once left an airsoft gun in the fridge when I was getting some soda. Seems that a lot of people forget things in fridges here.

My car makes beeping sounds if you open the door with the keys in the ignition while the car itself is off. To counter this, I often pull the keys out just enough to stop the beeping.

...but sometimes I forget to take them all the way out and lock myself out of the car.

Hanging a set of bolt-cutters from my neck.

I was using them, then needed my hands free, so, for lack of any better options, I just placed them on my neck. (As in, with the business end at the back of my neck and one handle over each shoulder... does that make sense?) Then I forgot they were there and walked around with them like that for half the day until my housemate asked what the hell I was wearing a set of bolt-cutters for. Embarrassment and awkwardly worded explanations ensued.

This one is a bit indirect, but is the best related example I have. Left my laundry bag in the bushes at a national forest campsite while out doing fieldwork during the day. Came back later and it was gone. The Forest Service had come by and checked on the site, and taken my bag back to their HQ, which was about 50 miles away. The guy at the office was a bit amused when I came to get it.

As for stuff that I've misplaced, I've placed a couple plastic bowls on activated burners before.

I've done that before. had to tap my power lock button with a stick to get in. Unfortunately, my power locks are out right now so I can't use that technique anymore

When I was much younger than I was now but still in my 20s. I once cooked a plate of chicken nuggets in the Microwave, took them our and then put them in the freezer and went to sleep.

I once drunkenly left a game controller in the bathroom, that was just a year ago so little excuse there.

My lady put a wii-mote in her purse and brought it to work with her the next morning.

I bought a spindle of blank CDs into my car and put them with the other music CDs (to be fair I thought those were burnt with music and just unlabeled.

The worst one though is what I did with my camera, my livelihood in many ways, after a photoshoot at a studio I was renting, I put it in a cabinet that contained costume jewelry and left it there. I think my logic at the time was I had to put the costume jewelry away last so I wouldn't forget where I put it. Unfortunately the model put her costume jewelry away for me. Very glad I was friends with the owner or I would have lost a $1200 camera with a goof.

When we first moved into our house it needed a bit of renovation, that required taking down the ceiling, and we found a gigantic black dildo hidden between the walls, along with several issues of playgirl and a very dusty jumper. I guess putting my ipod in the washing machine would be the oddest/stupidest thing I've done personally.

 

[DefunctTheory]

Wallet in freezer.

Phone in refrigerator.

TV remote in freezer.

There's a pattern here...

& Going to the ATM and try inserting a £5 note into the Card Slot.

Oh, if we can mention stuff like that...

I once was going through and Army security gate. You have to give them ID. I accidentally gave them my debit card. The guy laughed, gave it back, and I put it back in my wallet.

Then I took out the same debit card again and gave it to him.

He wasn't laughing that time. He kind of gave me a look that made me think he thought I may have survived one too many mortar strikes.

Pouring myself a cup of milk I would then place the cup of milk back in the fridge and be left with the jug of milk.

And there was that one time I took a fork to eat my cereal.

Derp.

 

[Redlin5_v1legacy]

Some people leave their coffee cups ontop of their car. I left a yogurt cup, full with spoon sticking out, and drove off.

I've also put a bottle of Coca-Cola outside my windowsill whilst drunk. It was a window you can't open up from the inside and was on the second floor of the house. Woke up and found it. Couldn't understand how it happened.

 

[Angie7F]

I woke up with a karaoke microphone in my bag.
From a karaoke box

 

[Kotch]

filled an ashtray with coffee once or twice...

 

[Hero in a half shell]

Pouring cereal into a cup, and occasionally not realising what I've done until I also pour milk into the cup on the cereal.

You two have to be the ones that I laughed most at... I love the stories people have :')

 

[Total LOLige]

Butter in the bread bin more than once.

Pouring unboiled kettle water into a cup filled with tea and sugar again more than once.

Putting cereal in the fridge.

Not sure if this counts but once I left a fork in my noodles and let it microwave for like 10-15 seconds, nothing happened, to my surprise.

Another microwave story. I once put a Rustler burger in the microwave on a plate which had a metallic rim. That time something did happen, sparks and shit, initially I thought it was because there was like fat in the microwave then I realised it was the rim.

I also do the ID/debit card thing on a regular basis. In general many things like that happen to me, but thi is one of my favourites: When I was still living with my parents, one day I walked up the stairs to the apartment and looked at the shoe rack, noticing that a pair of shoes was missing. I already made up stories about what spectacular things could have happened to my shoes. Then I sat down, took off my shoes and put them on the shoe rack. And I literaly thought "oh...there they are". Kind of the other way around, but none the less derpy...
