Did they phone for a taxi for you as they did when the same happened to me when I was staying with my cousin one summer?
 
Done a few realy daft things too many to menchan but I think Hubby was the best when he was in the garden ond day crying his eyes out. When I asked him what was wrong he stood there saying well I have been hear all day planting these stones and they wont grow.

Looking at the same jumper for 5 minutes repeatedly saying 'its got stripes'....... Boyfriend got bored and made me take my levels :/
 
Haha brilliant thread :D

Not done anything terribly funny (that I can remember) but I did once go into a kitchen cupboard expecting a glass of water to materialise in it!

Anything daft you've done under the influence of a glucose-deficient brain? 🙂

This just reminded me of the episode of Only Fools and Horses.:D
 
I had a hypo the other morning treated and then started to get ready to go out. I shouted downstairs to OH that my jeans wouldn't go on. Are they back to front? No I replied and tried again. They still wouldn't go on. I checked again and they were definitely round the right way. It wasn't until the third attempt that my brain had recovered enough to let me know that my jeans were round the wrong way😱
 
Only stupid thing I have done, is spend 10 minutes looking for my glasses after putting them on to look for my glasses 😱

John.
 
After getting totally frustrated with my habit of saying "yes" when asked if I'm alright when I'm actually having a hypo, my husband doesn't ask that any more. He has found a foolproof way of working out whether I'm hypo (if conscious!) which is to ask me what day it is.

For some reason my brain can't work that out when I'm hypo!
 
milk in the cupboard, coffee in the fridge, but thats just coz i'm daft 🙂 😛
 
I put orange juice in my tea the other day but i wasn't hypo!!
I had post concussion though so that probably explains it.

How else can you find them though???????
 
Thanks Alan, I'm feeling normal now but it took almost a week. Got hit in the side of my head by a door last Friday, felt awful for a few days so went to A & E on Monday as i still had headaches and felt sick and dizzy and was experiencing blurred vision. The Doctor did some tests and told me i had post concussion. Sent me for a CT scan as a precaution as well but the scan was clear.

Glad to hear you got the all clear Phil, sounds nasty!
 
Another contribution!

Bought a book of stamps in Tesco yesterday, paid for them & yes left without them.

Went back today convinced I'd have to buy another book, and my forgotton book was waiting for me behind the till on the customer service counter.

Restored my faith it did & saved me the cost of another book. I can send my Christmas cards now.

:D

A splash of orange or lemon juice in Earl Grey tea is quite nice
