What are the ones you seem to have the most often? Here are some of mine.
-Looking around the house for my shoes, then discovering I am already wearing them
-trying to open a door while walking into it...and forgeting to turn the handle
-finding a glass of grape juice, tasting it, and discovering it is really wine
-finding a million lego pieces I don't need, then when I need it, they all dissapear
 
Getting into a shuttle bus on a mall, and then realizing it was a taxi...
 
-Running into a screen door. :)
-Forgetting that heat flux into a control volume is positive by convention!
 
- Tripping over one of my cats at the top of our stairs, falling down said stairs and breaking my arm.
 
Spending a half hour trying to find my glasses, not once realizing that I wasn't having any problem seeing.

Moping for an hour because I couldn't make ice cream because I was out of rock salt -- when there was a four pound box of canning salt in plain sight on the counter.

Searching my pockets over and over for my car keys so I could open the trunk -- when the engine was running.

And that's just the last couple days!

  • Running into a glass door:lol:
  • Sleep waking, then you fall down the stairs
  • Going out to school then realizing that you forgot your glasses:lol:
  • Running towards a corner then you bump into someone else who's running
  • Telling everyone it's your birthday then realizing it's actually tomorrow
  • Talking to someone then accidentally falling down the stairs
  • Looking up while walking the tripping on something
:lol: = it happened to me
 
Try to open doors always the wrong way

I actually pushed ("rammed into" would be more precise here) a glass door that had a quite small label near the handle that said "PULL"...
 
Holding something in both hands, trying to open a glass door with my foot and smashing it.

Hitting the power button of my PC accidently.

Locking the door of my room, making it nearly impossible for my mother to wake me up.

Setting your alarm clock to wake up before a Soyuz launch, but not hearing it. (Poor alarm clock didn't survive the throwing from 2.2 meter high bed)
 
This is something stupid that frustrates me sometimes... :)

Flying a glider plane requires a towing cable /winch to be attached to the glider. Before flight, you always do all kinds of basic checks; instruments, controls, etc. One of these checks is to test if the release mechanism still works OK (by just opening/closing the towing hook).

When I'm all set, attached to towing cable, and ready for flight, I somtimes do a 2nd quick check. In that case, you shoud not forget to skip the release-mechanism check, otherwise you'll release yourself from the towing rope....

It has occured to me that the towing plane left, without my glider plane, because I did a 2nd pre-flight check....
How stupid, releasing yourself from the towing plane before even taking off! :lol:

You to movie theater, men's restroom is in maintenance, so personnel tells you to go to women's restroom... and it is filled with old ladies in a queue and you are the only guy there... you explain the situation, but their eyes show they are skeptical...
 
Speaking of restrooms, I don't know how many times I've tried to open the door to the men's room only to have it open from the inside at the exact same moment, startling the heck out of me and the other guy. Always a 'DOH moment.:)

Assuming that the bathroom door across from a women's restroom is a men's restroom...

More recently, wondering why I was getting an orbital period of 0.1 years for a 3 Schwarzschild radius orbit around the Milky Way's central black hole on my Astrophysics final. Then realizing that I had forgotten to take a square root. The period turned out being a hair over 30 minutes. Fortunately, all of this transpired *before* I turned the test in.
 
* being voraciously hungry and biting my finger because it didn't get out in time.
* turning the corner in a hurry to pop open the door and head up the stairs to the 2nd floor only to realize that it's the door to the bathroom .... and not the mens !
* Closing the car door and then tapping your pants pocket for a key check .... none found ! Oh ..wait ... there they are! Hanging from the stearing column.
 
turning the computer moniter on and off wondering why was the screen black only to relize i dident turn the computer on

LOL!!! I do this all the time!!!; and the main reason I do this is because my mom has an annoying habit of barging into my room unexpectedly.

Running at a window with your arms outstretched, slipping on a bit of gravel, and having an operation 10 hours later to stitch 3 tendons in your wrists back together...
