    I once forgot my head, but I blame the fact that it wasn't screwed on properly

    Flew to Atlanta on business, supposed to get hire car at airport for travel during the week, forget driving licence. Scored a cab, tyre blew on the 'freeway' had to practically change the tyre as clueless driver lived up to his name. Arrived at hotel - sorry sir no reservation, never heard of you - nice.
    Best one however is that I am godfather to 2 kids, one from each of my brothers. This occurred when I was in a very drunken younger phase. Such that I would likely wake up on a couch somewhere and think feck - christening day and head for the church.
    Upshot is I have no idea which of the kids I am godfather to !
    Not the sort of thing you can ask either !

    My phone fell out of my top pocket as I was bathing my baby son (he about 6 months old), so I went to catch it and I forgot to keep hold of the baby's head, and he went under for a few seconds.

    My wife witnessed this..

    her: 'THE BABY!!!!!'
    me: 'Oops!'

    No, but he was absolutely adamant that it was entirely my fault and I should have been waiting for him. And the fact he was too thick to phone someone to get access into my flat was beyond him.

    He deserved everything he got in life as far as I'm concerned.

    I said I'd look after some luggage for a mate who went off for a long 2 month or so holiday around South America with his wife (who eventually divorced him). Unbeknown to me, he had previously bought some Eric Clapton tickets and had left them in the luggage in my flat. One weekend I went to Ireland to see the bird I was shagging at the time.

    I came back to find that he had broken my flat window to get his luggage and his Clapton tickets.

    He never paid for the broken window which was left as it was all weekend (which he got the flat gardener to break for him), and I never spoke to him again.

    I put a bath on after drinking ten pints of Stella, forgot about it and went to bed... the next morning the old guy who lived in the flat downstairs was banging on my door, when I answered it all bleary eyed I could hear the faint trickle of water coming from my bathroom behind me... then the penny dropped so I went downstairs to see what damage had been caused and was confronted with a collapsed ceiling and hot water running down the walls!

    I spent the whole of Sunday pushing a rug doctor round his flat with the mother of all hangovers and then helped him contact his insurance company, I never did admit to leaving the bath on and just said a pipe had burst.

    I haven’t drunk Stella since!

    Just remembered that I was meant to view a house 6 days ago and just remembered now....fantastic.
    Years ago, meant to go to a mate's flat who was on holiday to check and feed his extensive collection of tropical fish, in serveral tanks.

    It was quite a trek but he was a good mate and I agreed to do it twice during his week-long holiday.

    Drove for 1.5 hours to get there, strode purposefully to the front door, checked I had the list of feeding and care instructions...

    then realised I forgot to bring the house keys.

    Bugger


    Had to go back the next day so the fecking fish didn't perish.
