27 Funny Times Someone’s Brain Dropped the Ball

Your vape. Below those are still all the unconscious bits and bobs that keep you breathing, for example. With all that going on, can we blame our brain for dropping the ball occasionally?

Sure we can — especially when it costs us parachute in the air hangar, et cetera. 

Redditors have shared some of their brain’s shortcomings that resulted in, at the very least, an exasperated, disappointed sigh.

teaswiss S 13y ago Once I made chicken soup - simmered the carcass for hours with lots of vegetables. Then, when it was all nice and tasty I grabbed a colander and poured all the liquid down the sink. I just stood there for about 5 minutes, staring at the bones trying to what the next step in soup-making was.
ghostchamber . 13y ago I recently went to a gas station near my apartment with the intention of buying gas. It was a rare occasion, as I actually had cash (I normally pay for everything on debit). I walked up to the station and gave the man $10. I then proceeded to walk back to my car, get inside, and drive away. It was about five minutes later, on the highway, that I realized that I hadn't actually pumped any gas. I was too ashamed to go back.

EauRouge86 $ 13y ago I once forgot to take out my s before going to bed. I woke up, put on my glasses as usual, and freaked the fuck out, because everything was blurry. Tried cleaning my glasses, nothing would help. Spent about 5 minutes freaking out, thinking I was going blind or something.

TheKenluckian a 13y ago I was driving to work, which was about 15-20 minutes away when I realized that I forgot my keys.

Then I realized I was holding them. Because I had been driving.
pinkfluffykins 13y ago Once i lost my car keys. Couldn't for the life of me find them. Started to panic, got my family and my friend who was with me, to look all over the house. Had to use my spares to get around, but the set of key i lost had my padlock keys on them too. Anyway, the next day i found them, in the freezer! Had to use a hair dryer to un-stick them from the shelf. I have no idea why i put them in the freezer...

muffin chops 13y ago I'm on exam break and preparing for several big scary exams. I'd been sitting at my desk for about 6 hours straight and decided to go out for a walk to clear my head. 15 minutes out i started freaking out because i realised i hadn't saved my work before leaving the house, so i immediately turned around and headed home to save it (because, you know, the one time you don't, there's a power surge). I was nearly home when it dawned on me I'd been hand writing my notes.

Chickpea123uk . 13y ago Yesterday my dad made me email several Amazon sellers about books he had ordered but were never delivered. Today he itted he found one of the books on a bookcase. So I searched all his bookshelves (he has A LOT of books) and found them all. I had to email the sellers to apologise.

RundieMC 13y ago Got into a heated argument on the phone with my girlfriend while driving. I ended up throwing my phone down on the back and headed to Taco Bell for some fast food therapy. I pulled into the drive-thru.. ordered.. Paid... and drove off... Before getting any of the items I ordered.. It took me about 45 seconds of sitting at the traffic light on the opposite end of the parking lot to realize what my scumbag brain had done. I was too embarrassed to go back.. TL;DR Ordered Taco Bell, paid for the food, left before receiving
kemot 13y ago Went to the Bus station and lit up a smoke on the way. There was wind blowing towards me so I turned around to lit up the smoke, and walked straight back home. As i stood in front of my home door I realized I changed the direction after I lit up the smoke. Missed my bus, missed an imported class.
Uggy 13y ago Was checking out at the grocery store. Looked at the till, saw that I owed $19 and some change. Handed the guy a twenty. Do you have another 25 cents? What? No, you're going to have to go find it. So the guy goes around scrounging for change, which I think is weird, but whatever. Не comes back triumphant only for me to realize I owed $20.25. Haha TL;DR: Learned that being a douchbag gets you what you want.
