Got out of a Sprinter van and forgot I was in a Sprinter van.

Hurts when you realise the ground's a foot and a half further down than where you thought it was.

Sometime when I Park up in the drive way, either blocked in by three cars or in the garage i leave the keys in the ingnition, and spend about 3 hours lookin around the house for the them the next day!

I forgot to tighten the front wheel nuts on the drivers side and my wheel came off while i was driving luckily no one was behind me at the time!

hahaha

a friend of mine tried to take out the windscreen on his GT with his foot and smashed it. He went to a scrap yard to get another one and he tried to walk through a doorway whilst carrying the screen sideways and smashed that one! haha

Like a idiot 2day i forgot to chock the car when it was up on the jack... and it fell on my head.... i got away without any major injury but i was lucky

another one was when the belt on the alternator was slipping my uncle said come round to his so he would fix it.

took it round jacked it up used the claw of a hammer to pull the alternator back in place and tighten the bolts. he said go try it so i did as pulling out i said to him whats that noise ? he said nothing i cant hear owt ?go for a test drive see if the belt slips.... so i went round on to a long road near by no slipping which was good but a odd noise hmm i thought see what happens if i floor it ...nothing came back to my uncles house he was outside waiting i said ahh noise has gone hes like bring back here jacked it up and pointed to the hammer which was still wedged in place !!! :shock:

i'm a valletter at land rover.

On my 2nd day there, i left the drivers window open and let loose with the jet washer. there was soap all over the interior of a brand new range rover sport HST.

not good when the ECU is underneath the seat!

My boss took the MD's Audi through a car wash and didnt get the back windows shut in time!

Driven off with De-icer on the roof round my garage block. Lucky I didn't take out any cars behind me.

Stood next to my car with a scarf in my hand, put it on the roof then drove off. Spent like a day looking for it before I remembered what I'd done.

Earlier I stood next to my car looking frantically for my keys then realised they were in my coat pocket in the house.

Left my passenger door unlocked for days on end in my polo... Kept forgetting and didn't have passengers very often.

Lost my phone in a taxi, never trust your bf with stupid pockets that things fall out of when you sit down! Suppose really I should of worn a skirt with pockets.

Forgot to check my cars oil when I do 300+ miles a week... My dad went mental.

Drove along thinking my work car (automatic) was revving a bit high when I was only doing 50.

Then realised I'd got it in 2 instead of drive.

drove me car after a while and thought hmm brakes feel wierd ahh well must be becaus i havnt driven for a while....few days later i thought lets go to the gym...got to the end of the street to turn ..FUCK NO BRAKES !! had to wack it down gear quicker then usual to slow down, i usually go fast up to that corner but sooooo lucky i dint that morning...foot to the floor on brake pedal and nothing ! i shat me self turnd back came home with a look like this on my face :tear: me pops was like oh u lazy bugger get to gym u only been 5 mins ! lol cheked brake fluid ...gone all of it !!! :shock:

drove off with my parcel shelf and 6x9's on the roof once :oops: could't work out why people were tooting me until i see them in my rear view going under some ones car :shock:

I've forgotten to put my lights on before - although I think that says more about how useless the headlights are...

The silliest was taking my rear wheel off - loosened the bolts off, jacked the car up, tried to pull off wheel - 'Damn, not coming off *yanktugpull* don't say its got jammed on again, I knew i should have topped up the grease last time they were off, stupid spigot rin......ah, oh, yes, always best to remove the wheel bolts fully before trying to remove wheel' :oops:

not to mention me standing there scratching ma head whilst looking at dipstick to see its not getting any higher lol

had 2 mates help me a couple of years back change my springs over. 1 of my mates was abit useless! threaded the bolt for the top of the rear strut so we had to pick anew one up and then let the jack down whilst i was still underneath!

To top it off, he put the rear wheel back on. I asked him "are all the bolts done up tight" to which his reply was "yes". next day decided to go for a spin to see hwat it was like. Got 10miles from home when i felt a funny vibration from the back. As i started to slow down to pull over to see what it was, i watched the rear wheel overtake me and disappear into a oil seed rape field!

He's not allowed near my car with a spanner now!

When I finally put oil in it took forever to get to the bottom of the dipstick!

Another one....

End of Dec and I'm totally poor but I've saved enough for me car tax. Its the 28th and I still aint got me form and I'm running around like a idiot trying to find me log book so I can get tax without the form.... I get in the post office, no log book no form but insurance and MOT cert trying to get tax and it gets refused by the post office, I throw a complete fit at them and take my docs and go.

Think onk, I'll ring the DVLA and get it off there, at least then it will be in the post! But no, It won't accept my temporary logbook code! So I hang up pretty frustrated and worried I'm gonna get a fine so I ring up the DVLA to speak to a person, who I give me Reg No to, only to be told 'Don't panic miss allitt, your tax aint due till next month' So I go check my car, and sure enough tax runs out END OF JANUARY. WHY DIDNT I LOOK THERE IN THE FIRST PLACE!!!

THink that beats anyone elses on here!

haha classic!!!

a few weeks ago i went to cardiff for piss up, and waited in a queue for a cash machine. when i reached the front i put in my card and pin, then started to put a tenner i already had into the machine. my mates were pissing themselves.

then a couple of days later i poured cereal onto a plate and it went everywhere.. I'm a bloody clown

No ones let me live that down since december! My BF went the other way thinking he had plenty of time!

Ha cereal onto a plate! I've been known to put spoons in the fridge instead of getting yoghurts out!

i have put milk back in the cupboard a few times, but not for a while.

yeah i went the other way too, and was driving around wthout tax this month...oops

I've done it before, when you buy tax online on the 15th of the month and by the end you can't remember where you put it!
