    Love this thread!

    Chemo-brain struck again while I was doing laundry and inadvertently put some of my clothes in with my husband's clothes while folding and stacking them.  We were at the car dealer when suddenly I noticed these really fancy decorative buttons on the pockets of my husband's shorts.  I asked him if he was wearing my shorts, which suddenly struck me as hysterically funny - I couldn't stop laughing.  You should have seen his face - he was so embarrassed he had to walk out of the dealer (even though no one heard us).  He admitted he "thought they fit funny"!!Embarassed  (I guess I can see how he missed it - they were khaki bermudas, but still, he is 6'!)

    But he paid me back - he spilled salsa all over them when we stopped for lunch!

    I can't remember if I already told this story on the board (see sig).  I probably did...in this thread. lol....but i'll retell it anyway.

    I walked out of the aquatic center with a pantyliner stuck to my chemo hat. I didn't know it till i got to my car and saw it in the rear-view mirror. i had on a new swimsuit and it had been in the crotch of the suit...i removed it and stuck it in my bag and it must have stuck to my hat.  I had even stopped and chatted with the guys behind the desk and then walked out with two women who said nothing.  When I looked in the mirror, i was like "wtf?"  Then I literally was SCREAMING with fits of laughter.

    When I got home, I recreated it and took a picture.

    Too funny, that had to be embarrassing!  Not a chemo moment, but once at work I had my skirt tucked into my pantyhose so my entire butt was hanging out.  AND NO ONE TOLD ME!!  I went all the way down the elevator like that and to my car.  My best friend was in the elevator with me.  Well. . . ex-best friendWink.

    I'm glad if you re-posted - I got a good laugh out of it and can totally see how that could happen (panti-liner thing)!

    Re my previous post - when I stepped out of the elevator there were also two men in it and of course they let the ladies out first - think about it!!  They were watching me walk away!! (See how this is branded into my memory!!Embarassed)  At least I was in my twenties and my butt was kinda cute!  (I hope.)

    I had the same pantyhose/dress thing happen at my nieces wedding 2 yrs ago but at least the first woman that I passed right outsids the restroom stopped me to let me know that my dress was caught in my hose so I was not walking all around the fellowship hall exposed.

    Dear GSG,

     That was the funniest story and the picture.  I had tears streaming down my face.  My dh came to me in the computer room because he heard me laughing so hard.  I am so glad you retold that story. 

    Regards

    That is hilarious!  Years ago my grandmother grabbed what she thought was bug spray to kill ants.   She grabbed a can of hair spray by mistake.  Surprisingly it worked very well and the ants were stuck in their tracks.

    It was sometime just after radiation treatments, and I had pill bottles all over the kitchen counter. For some reason I can't remember I was on antibiotics. I accidentally grabbed the bottle of Darvocet and took two of those instead of two antibiotics (they looked the same...big white horse pills). I am normally very sensitive to pain meds, plus I wasn't actually in pain when I took them, so by the time I got to my t'ai chi class I was high as a kite, and the instructor kept laughing at me. That's when I learned to write the drug names on the lids in magic marker!

    Okay, I've got a little story.  Cool

    I was unable to continue working during BC tx, but I returned to work toward the end of rads. Of course, I was still basically bald, so I wore a wig to work.

    One evening after work, I was headed out to my car and made the very stupid decision to take a short cut that led under a low hanging tree branch. It all happened so fast, I didn't even realize what was going on until I saw my wig hit the ground! The branch had swooped down, grabbed the wig right off my head and tossed it to the ground.

    I scrambled as quickly as possible to pick it up. I had my hands full and I couldn't pull it back on properly, so I just kinda laid it on the top of my head and rushed to my car. I got in and looked all around to see how many people had seen me. Several people were outside, but no one was looking my way, pointing and laughing. I sat in my car and cracked up! I laughed all the way home.

    A few months ago, my dad came over and parked his car in my driveway.  Now, I have a 3 car garage ... he parked at Garage #1.  I was in the big garage ...  parked in the spaces for #2 and #3 ... He asked me if he needed to move and I gave him a strange look ........  hello?  No.

    I hit his car to the tune of $3000 ......  didn't realize my wheels were turned and started out scraping his car wondering why my car was going so slow, so I hit the gas and really got it good with a prize winning dent!!!!!

    Oh .... has anyone else ever confused the car air-freshener for the mouth-freshener?

    My mother brushed her teeth with Ozonol years ago by mistake one morning as she was rushing to work, we still chuckle over that one. I don't think they even sell Ozonol anymore.  Also my mom at 72 decided she was going to horseback ride again, she's all of 4'10 in high heels, so she gets on the horse and her short little legs couldn't bend to fit in the saddle, so instead of giving up she askes if she could ride bare back like she did as a child, luckily the owner said no. She was so excited about horses that she wanted to sign up for riding again but told me thank God they let me do a trial sit first.  I still do a belly laugh picturing her short little legs that stuck straight out of the horse.  

    As for taking the wrong product way back when I was the Clerk Administrators Secretary for a small township I had the runs so I said to my boss Charlotte I have to go to the drug store to buy something to stop this. Well I bought Milk of Magnesia instead!  The girls came running after I took a big slug in the bathroom then screamed out OH SHIT right in the Town office. Funny now but that day was tough.

    Ikc, this is something I used to do up north to keep the black flies out because the cats would poke small holes in my screens. I used a clear nail polish to fill the holes an older thick one works the best. Good luck and I hope the oven cleaner comes off okay.  Chuckle!

    RoctoberMom - sorry, but I couldn't help but laugh at your "run-in" with your Dad's car.  I too backed into my Dad's car - he and my Mom came over to babysit, parked in my drive-way, and when I backed out I slammed right into their car.  Course, I didn't laugh that day!!

     My husband and I have each taken a turn shutting the garage door on a car's roof while backing out, resulting in a huge deep scratch all the way down the length of the roof.  Two cars, not one!

     But. . . I have yet to use car freshener as mouthwash!

    Sue, I too, have tried to back out of the garage with the lift gate wide open!  Not a nice thing to happen to the car or facia on the garage!!!  My rear windshield wiper ripped right off the back!

    I was having a trip down memory lane and reread this thread from way back and laughed as hard as ever!  Thought I would bump it up for others to enjoy and maybe get some funny new stories.

    I just found this topic and really had a good time reading it. How about we add to it since its been so long?

    I dont have any funny stories at the moment but can relate to brain fog. Yesterday, I had all of my Christmas cards in a bundle secured with a rubber band around them on my desk at work. I was going to mail them at the end of the work day  but I know I didnt and I have no idea where they are now. I hate when that happens!

    Had a good laugh reading through this topic.  I don't even have chemo brain but I guess having BC and radiation has rattled my brain.  Recently I planned to make brownies to take to a gathering and set out the brownie mix, oil, egg, and measuring cup for water.  I mixed up the ingredients and wondered why the mixture seemed so dry but got it stirred up and baked.  Since they were still warm, I left the brownies in the bake dish and headed to the gathering.  When it was time to eat, I tried to cut the brownies and could not--they were so hard.  Needless to say I couldn't serve them.  When I got home, I discovered an egg on the counter--just where I had placed it before mixing up the brownies!  I hadn't even noticed the egg sitting on the counter in cleaning up!!  I did try the hard, eggless brownies and discovered they actually didn't taste bad--in fact, they were very similar to the brownie brittle you can buy in the store!!!
