It's the eternal Catch-22. Sometimes you need a post-coffee brain in order to make coffee, but you can't get a post-coffee brain until you make the coffee.

I am not saying anything. I once looked in the freezer for a new tea cup.

I held the door of the oven by the handle with a hot pad once and grabbed the rack with my bare hand. Yes it hurt .

That sounds fine. I put the milk in the pantry and the cereal in the fridge

Reminds me of the morning I poured the boiling water of my cornflakes...

dear. you've made me feel so much better. in light of my somewhat advanced years, i've been a bit concerned about my mental health decline. it's comforting to know that sort of thing happens to even some younger folks. (haven't put sneakers in the freezer... yet.)

Wait until you start finding your glasses, phone, or wrist watch in the fridge. That's how you know it's time to stop putting candles in your birthday cakes.
-
It is if you have glass shelving in your fridge… Yikes.

Thank you, everyone, for the giggles! As a senior, I find myself doing strange things and wondering if this is "it" for my brain. You guys give me hope! It's "just" the stress and life. So relieved!!

I came to these comments to say this. For a decade now I have kept an "Alzheimer's List" to track such things. So distracted events are not so age related. Comforting. Our mistakes make us "Normal." 😀

Not knowing how coffee pods work, I buggered up two hotel coffee machines by forcing the pods open and pouring the contents directly into the machine.
-
I once made cupless coffee, or started to. I don't recommend it.

When life hands you a lemon, make iced coffee.

Well, my ADHD brain wanted to make drip coffee yesterday l, filled the pot with water and instead of pouring it into the coffee maker, opened the microwave and almost put the pot in it, before realising what I was doing. 🙄
-
I'm almost positive this is why they invented the scheduled coffee maker system. That way, after the first cup of coffee, all subsequent cups should be easier to obtain.
-
I grabbed the hot iron burner after I removed an over boiled teakettle to wipe up the spilled water. 2d degree burns. I not have an induction cooktop.
-
I put the lid of my coffee maker on top of my coffee cup, before the coffee was even made. #mondayistsaturdayever
-
I almost put a tube of Pringles in the fridge last week.

i took my partner’s phone to work instead of mine. mine napped in the pocket of my robe all day. my partner was unable to use the smartboard and is a teacher. that’s pretty bad too. we all do it
-
Last evening I put the container of cheese in the cupboard instead of the fridge. I discovered this when I tried to put the box of plastic wrap in the cupboard.
-
Once I looked all over for my house keys. Eventually I found them in the freezer. No one played a prank, I lived alone, I put them in there myself.
-
Or switched it on, went to do something else, and when I return the water is luke warm already.
-
One time I was making coffee via French press and I poured the water into the coffee grinder.
-
The older you get the more often cereal goes in the freezer and ice cream in the cupboard.
