I am inspired by this thread by something I just did...
I am quite preoccupied at the moment and my absent-mindedness has as a result become amplified....
Some time ago I put on the dishwasher, and just walked in the kitchen to discover that it seemed to be leaking water.... I figured there was something wrong with it and duly laid down towels. Well, I am also cooking dinner and I found I needed an item in the dishwasher.. so I opened it.... It was full of foam....
I realised I had accidentally put in laundry soap rather than dishwasher detergent!
Has anybody else done such things?

.......All those moments ... will be lost ... in time ... like tears in rain.
I've put milk and cheese into the cupboard, instead of the refrigerator.
I put dirty clothes into the dryer, without washing them first.
I've poured juice into my cereal, and milk into my juice glass before at breakfest time.
If nothing we do matters, then all that matters is what we do.
I've put the cereal in the fridge and the milk in the cupboard (luckily somebody else found it before it spoiled).
EDIT: The fridge/cupboard reversal must be pretty common, eh Nightmare?
Nature’s first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leaf’s a flower;
But only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf.
So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down to day.
Nothing gold can stay.
I was helping a friend clean a carbeurator one weekend in his garage. I had a coke sitting up on the worktable. So...you see, he kept some grease in a coke can, too. I...um...grabbed the wrong coke can.

My partner once did something I still have fun reminding him of
Years ago we went swimming and snorkeling in a river that is about an hour's drive from the city in which we were living. So we spent a pleasant afternoon engaged in water sports and then headed back to our gear.... The car keys were nowhere to be found.
It transpired that my partner had put the car keys in the pocket of his swimming shorts.... Not a bad idea... only problem is that they had no zips, velcro or the like Thus we put on our snorkeling equipment and proceeded to scour the river bed.. all to no avail.
In the end we had to hitch a ride to the nearest town... In itself something of an adventure because as we discovered.. it was hunting season and therefore we had the pleasure of sharing the back of a pickup with a freshly-killed deer...
When we got into town we had to find a locksmith..... who then drove us out to our vehicle....
Naturally I am trying to bribe my son into refraining from relating the laundry soap incident when my partner gets home tomorrow

I've had a similar problem, but it was with my new phone.
I once declared myself ready to leave for some shopping and a trip to a restaurant with my wife, when I still didn't have my shoes on. Does that count?

...not unless when you meant no shoes ---> unshod!
You went to a resto and did some shopping barefoot?
Here in Thailand, I see men go out on dates and go to some fancy resto, shirt, tie, and slacks... and wearing slippers!
As for me...
...calling my then gf by my ex-gf's name... uh-oh...we're in trouble...

Sorry about the deleted post garaz, but I did inform you right away about the booboo since my edited booboo was in no way much like your original post.
Another silly thing...

That thought occured to alot of my frinds as well, but it seemed kinda strange to them as I'm not into that kinda music at all.......

Well, if I can't seem to find my wallet, the fridge is probably a good place to look. Interestingly, my wife has the same problem so her wallet, keys, etc are sometimes found there.
Yesterday I got the idea that it was Sunday and planned to go to work this morning.
A while back I was heading for work, and was putting on my shoes. My wife pointed out that it might be better if I had my pants on first.
On a nerdier note, I constantly forget to put the connector covers on cables before soldering the connector onto it.

No, I didn't actually shop like that. I only prepared to leave the house when my wife pointed out my significant omission.

I frequently lose my wallet, the funny thing is it is usually in my pocket, or in the most obvious spot imaginable.
One time I was cooking French Fries, some of the oil splattered on the stove, burst into flames, and I threw water on it which caused the fire to explode onto the celing, but fortunately it burned out, now I know that you don't douwse oil fires with water. hee hee Ah memories.
Another time me and my class were testing a rocket attached to the car, and I was all the way at the end, the rocket car shot away, while I just sat staring at it(no idea why), and the rocket came of the car shot threw my shirt, just skimming my torso, leaving a burnt hole in my shirt, still have a little burned mark there.
not sure if it really qualifies as silly, oh well.
Cheers all.

The only one that pops to mind at the moment is when I unlocked my car got in the backseat and attempted to start driving at which point I realised my mistake and jumped in the boot instead (everything in statement true up until the boot bit) Anyway, that made me feel like a pleb so I would say that is probably the silliest thing I have done for a while. There are a few others involving booze but because of that booze I can't remember them
Well I did mix a drink with warm cans instead of using the ones in the fridge, naughty me, that was silly.
I'd have to get drunk every night and talk about virility...And those Pink elephants I'd see.
