Go to put on my shoes and discover I have on a gray sweat sock and a white one. Could have been worse: I have black sweat socks as well.
Set the house alarm, head out to the garage and discover I've brought the wrong car keys.
Get back from the grocery store and then leave the perishables on my kitchen counter when I go to take a snooze.
Checked my American Express statement and found that what I thought was a balance of $592 was actually a credit. I paid them too much last month to settle up a big purchase.
Note to self: My Mr. Coffee is one that does NOT turn itself off after two hours. The burnt coffee smell will be the reveal.

Hope this helps.

Could be worse.
We've all worn mismatched socks to work. But I have a friend who wore mismatched shoes to work one day.
(He was a detective, which might help explain things.)

I put on a t shirt inside out once. It WAS dark when I got dressed, I did discover it before i got to work, but...

Not that I care.
Who am I trying to impress, at this point?

I made it all the way to a visit to my in-laws before I realized I had mismatched shoes. My FIL has dementia but guess who was feeling more the fool...

A geezer refers to socks as "sweat socks".

I don't wear socks and I'm considering giving up bathing as well to avoid potential falls in the shower.

I must have started as a teen...my father said I'd forget my head if it wasn't screwed on. He tried tightening it but to no avail. Except I had a headache for awhile afterwards.

Back in the days when I rebelled against convention I would intentionally wear miscolored socks, just to mess with people. We were talking green and red, blue and white, etc. Someone pointed it out and asked if I realized I had a green and red sock on and I replied,"Yeah, that's so I know which foot is which - red on right" (the red sock happened to be on the left).

At least half the time I make it all the way to the car and remember I forgot my phone.

I'll sometimes have moments of panic (usually a second or three) as I wonder where the hell my glasses are. Where did I leave them? In the car? At the bank? in the garage?
Then I realize I'm wearing the dang things.
True story!
Here's another one: sometimes on my morning hike, for some reason--I have no idea why--the following thought enters my feeble brain: 'I don't remember putting pants on today'. I look down, and yes of course I'm wearing pants.
I imagine there will come the day that I look down and there will be no pants.

How about zipping up. Sometimes when I get dressed I forget. I tend to wear untucked shirts so they cover but it is embarrassing to go to take a leak and realize that you are already ready so to speak. Good thing for sub ubi. Semper Ubi Sub Ubi.

I did a whole funeral once with my fly down. True story. I finally noticed it during the lunch afterward. Fortunately, I wasn't wearing tight pants (making the fly pop open) or bright white undies...
...life can be so humbling...

Dude, this not only saves time, it gets you noticed and remembered. "Hey, remember the guy at Sue's lawn party?" "Which one?" "The guy flashing us his open fly." "Oh, right .... him ... giving a little peek each time his untucked shirt would flap in the breeze."

I put on a t shirt inside out once. It WAS dark when I got dressed, I did discover it before i got to work, but... I worked all day with a shirt inside out. I thought something was odd, I had a lot of young ladies smiling at me (more than just polite) When I got home from work my niece said "Uncle Glenn do you know that your shirt is inside out". I said "no, but now I know why I was getting smiled at all day", Oh well.....

Of course that would be par for the course if you ever did visit one of those nudist camps...

Same shoe, different color. In my defense, I was dressing in there dark because my wife (no pics) was still a snooze. Took a lot of crap from my coworkers (even years later)

"In my defense, I was dressing in the dark ......"
My excuse as well. It works about as well as, "Okay, so I locked my keys in the car. So what? At least I know where they are!"

When I was still working I attended a fancy conference. By late afternoon, after several work shops I realized I had on two different style shoes of different colors, In my defense they were both made by the same brand and both loafer style. Still......
