‘Me. I was really tired one morning, reached into my desk drawer at work, put my hand in to get something, then kicked the the drawer closed without taking my hand out first.

Some days are just a write off from the get-go, you know?’

‘I was getting ready one morning and went to fill my cat’s food bowl. Instead of kibble, I filled it full of kitty litter before my brain came online. Thankfully I realised and fixed it before he could come and wonder why his human is such an idiot and if he can trade me in for a hamster.’

‘Open the dustbin with one hand, put the other hand which was holding the house keys and a bag of rubbish over the bin – and then drop the keys while holding onto the rubbish.

‘A dumb person I used to work with believed google maps satellite was live and you could control satellites to show a real time view. She would say she thought she left her hair straightener on and then check google maps for a fire or smoke at her flat.
