    I really gotta pay attention in elevators.

    Recently I got in, pressed button, waited for door to close, nothing happens. Then I realized why...

    I pressed the button of the floor I was on lol.

      I've knocked on the door to my own dorm room before.

      Once tried to unlock my dorm room door with my car key button as well.

          Isn't so much a brain fart as a hilarious miscommunication, but some time ago I worked at an electrical supply house. Phone rings and I answer it and the contractor asks for something. I'm having a hard time understanding him so I ask him to repeat.

          Him: I need a ceramic Jesus
          Me:...Yeah we don't have that here, this is an electrical supply shop dude.

          He asks for my boss by name so I hand the phone to him and explain that the dude is very obviously drunk.

          Turns out he was asking for a ceramic heater, which we did have lol.

Either I pressed wrong floor or someone from that floor pressed for elevator. Either way, I just continued walking like I meant to be there, then just nonchalantly took the stairs since I only needed to go up 1 floor more.
            Is it sad this happened again? In my defense, I was using my phone during this time(which I rarely do when walking in public) so I get what I deserve in this instance.

              Then she was like, "This is Barnes & Noble."

                I pulled a Borders gift card out of my wallet recently, only to Google search and find out they closed long ago. Among the top suggestions for what to do with it included sending it to someone you hate as a gift.

                - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

                Anyway, I was just at the gas station earlier today and also wanted to buy motor oil and windshield wiper fluid. Normally, they are right next to each other. Low and behold, there they are and I grab both items and start filling up my car.

                There was something weird about the wiper fluid, though. It was a green liquid. I thought it was interesting but chalked it up to some new fancy dye or something and kept going on my merry way. Then I decided to look at the blue jug that I was holding a little more closely, only to find out I was filling my wiper compartment up with antifreeze.

                I go back to the inside of the station and ask the cashier if they had wiper fluid, and she didn't really understand what I was saying so I tried next door to the other gas station. There I see the oil and wiper fluid next to each other. That fluid comes out of a very similar jug as well (same brand, at least). The difference is the bottle is clear but the liquid is blue, whereas the antifreeze had a blue bottle but green liquid.

                I've never seen them put antifreeze next to oil before. I gotta be more careful with what I read. Anyway, I'd say about 1/6 of the wiper fluid compartment in my car is antifreeze and the rest is wiper fluid.

                So my question now is... if I use it, will that do something to my windshield? Smear it with something maybe? Will the blend have enough dominance in wiper fluid that all is good? I don't really know whether I should try using it or not.

                  Here’s mine for the day.
                  A little background, I work at a Pharmacy primarily putting the drugs into the computer system. So I’m running on 4hrs of sleep(still am, sorry for typos), and I’m putting the last order I have for the day in. Open up the box, sit aside the bottles, stickers and invoice, getting ready to put them in the system. I usually have orders from 3-4 different companies, so I have a tote that I put the bottles in after entering and stickering them.
                  I put the first drug in on the invoice, making sure everything is correct, quality updated, etc., done, so I grab the next drug and realize it doesn’t match up to the invoice. I tell the pharmacist what happen, “they sent us the wrong drug, what should we do?” He gets one of my coworkers to help me straighten it out, only to find out that I put the drug I was supposed to receive in the tote, and had a random drug bottle in hand from a previous order.
                  Sorry for the wall of text, figure others would get a kick out my misery! Haha

                    how come every time I go to Captain D's I can never remember the words "Sweet & Sour" or "Cocktail Sauce"? I can only remember the words "Tartar Sauce", which I loathe. I'd rather eat a jar of mayo with a spoon than eat tartar. So I have to tell the lady behind the counter "whats that sauce ya'll have, not tartar?" like an idiot. Today I might have met my mental match. The lady behind the counter says "ketchup?"

                          I usually dont literally laugh out loud at forum posts, even really funny ones. (I laugh inside though) But this one actually got quite a chuckle out of me.

                          I grew up calling it "shrimp sauce" which, while sounding disgusting, usually gets the point across.

                              I did the same thing last week...walked into a restroom w/o urinals and thought to myself..what is the strange place w/o urinals?? And it wasn't until I realized the flowers and how clean and nice it smelled that I infact walked into the womens restroom...only difference is I walked out and a older lady was trying to come in [emoji29]..

                                Had something slightly similar happen earlier this week. I don't know if it's considered a brain fart because it was actually just overall unawareness on my part.

                                Near the main office my school has two staff restrooms: one for women and apparently a co-ed one (you already know where this is heading). It's one of those restrooms though where there is a stall within the restroom as well, and outside of that is a sink and urinal. You need a key to enter the restroom, but you can also button-lock it where the key won't let you in until the person inside unlocks it or leaves. All my life using this restroom, I would not press that push-button lock in case somebody else wanted to use any of the other facilities, unless I wanted my privacy. Others have done the same.

                                Okay, so anyway I once key myself into the restroom to see the stall closed and occupied, which is no worry to me because I just had to use the urinal. As I'm using it, I clear my throat, and the person inside the stall goes, "OH DEAREST MEEEE!" in a high-pitched voice. It's a female; a visitor, maybe. She scuffles, flushes the toilet, jumps out, sees the back of my head (I never turn around), effusively apologizes, and thought that it was a co-ed restroom. I acknowledged like that it was okay, I didn't care, etc. because I really didn't, but I stated that I thought it was for sure a men's restroom because the women's was across the hall.

                                I go outside later to confirm that it was a male restroom, but instead I find out that it actually doesn't say anything but "STAFF," whereas the other one says both "STAFF" and "WOMEN," plus the women logo plastered onto it. Look, there is a urinal in there for crying out loud and I assume that the women's has two stalls, so it only makes sense that I naturally assumed it was a men's only restroom. I had to confirm it with admin and state my claim of what happened so somebody didn't like accuse me of harassment or something stupid, and they laughed it off and just said she should have hit the push-button lock. From hereon out I know that I am going to have to do the exact same. The only reason I'll have to enter this thread with a story like this again is if I fail to do exactly that, because now it will actually be considered a brain fart.
