Schoolboy errors

I ordered a monitor from ocuk on Monday, it arrived Tuesday, all good.

Yesterday I ordered a WD Live media player which arrived today, all good.

In the box was a £5 voucher for anything ordered by the end of the year from overclockers, searched monitor box and found similar voucher, which I could have used on the media player, complete disaster.

Give examples of your own schoolboy errors.

Can you combine them and get something worth just over a tenner?

I have no common sense, here are some of mine:
I got completely lost in a visit day at University because I took the wrong stairs.
Asked for a "single return" when getting on a bus
When I was in year 6, I took a firework that I found in my garden to school in my bag and ended up with loads of gun powder in my bag
I went to school in pyjamas by accident.

I have always been very clumsy, this kind of stuff happens everyday. I also walk into people by accident all the time.

Sounds like more of an adult than a schoolboy error.

Worst, is it too late to use the voucher and get my £5 off thread ever.

2 graphics cards, 2 waterblocks.... install the entire custom loop bar the cards as they look the trickiest.... "I'll leave those until the end"...

Finally remove the coolers from the cards to find they are non-reference and don't fit the waterblocks.

Schoolboy non-checking.

It says you cant combine with any other offers.

Ouch! I'm about to splash nearly £500 on watercooling so I hope I don't have the same issue lol :|

My biggest/daftest error:

In my previous house we had an Asda about 10 minutes away.
We had not long got a car.
I got into car and went to Asda for shopping
I left Asda with shopping

Can you guess the rest........?

Yup, I walked home and forgot about car.

It does get dafter, the wife says to me a hour later (when it is raining buckets) "Honey, where is the car?". My brain clicked into gear I was made to walk back and get it there and then. :mad:
