What is the silliest thing you've done, while tired

Managed to post a prior months assets to the asset register, depreciate them and run the Net Book Value journal for the statutory reports all before realising and having to undo/redo a day's work. I hate month end. :rolleyes:

Keys in fridge next to milk. Much swearing ensued for best part of a day

I know right! Accountants are known for living life on the wild side, it's almost as awesome as putting your keys I the fridge, or nearly adding milk to redbush tea, say.

I don't even put gloves in the glove compartment in my car, that's how much of a maverick I am.

It took you a day to prepare and post few asset journals? Sounds like month end hates you!

Drove a 100 miles after being up for 24 hours, with a 12 hour nightshift in between. I was actually slapping my own face to stay awake.

Chucked underwear into the toilet instead of the laundry bin

Hah - not so much these days but back along I've got into the shower a couple of times in underwear forgetting I've still got it on I think once including socks

after long shifts at work and not much sleep.

it's millions of pounds of additions, multiple 12 thousand line journals over a group of 15 or so companies and the systems are shocking... sue me

When extremely over-tired and the wife was working a night shift, I went through my complete morning routine and got halfway to work before realising it was Saturday.

Almost, almost took a whizz in the laundry basket. Walked into the bathroom, and rather than just going straight ahead to the toilet that faced the door, I instead turned 180, lifted the lid to the laundry basket and just about averted disaster! :eek:

Overtook a parked car, turned out it wasn't parked but going along in front of me!

Luckily for me my laundry basket is slap bang straight ahead at the top of the stairs, and the only toilet is downstairs!

Not proud to say I’ve been in a similar situation. Trying to hang on before the next services to grab 10 mins sleep and a coffee before getting to a meeting. I do vigorous nods and head shakes to stave off the sweet attraction of unconsciousness. Must look like a right odd ball. I don’t fare well on long journeys. I need to stop at least every 3 hours and don’t tend to travel much by road for work.

Yeah I have done the throw boxer shorts in the toilet rather than the laundry bin before.

My latest was going out doing the big food shop at lunch time, coming home putting things away and putting my food together to bring back to the office for lunch. I left the house with 2 bags, one containing sandwiches, drinks and crisps, the other a rubbish bag. I threw the bag containing sandwiches in the bin and brought a bag of rubbish to work...
