hahaaaa Deb!

I've had my German designed Ford Focus four years now. Indicators on the left windscreen wipers on the right.

Vice Versa to my previous Ford Falcon.

I still sometimes turn the windscreen wipers on instead of indicators lol.

It's similar to my going to the cutlery drawer in any kitchen I've been in, I often go to the position of the one I grew up with as a child.

........ask the caller to wait "I've got to get a pen and paper". Put the phone down, whilst I went to the other side of the room.

It was a mobile phone.

I feel your pain Deb.

If I can't find something (my cup of tea, box of tampons, wallet, sugar bowl) hubby says "have you looked in the fridge?"

The bastid

The other week I spelled my last name wrong in an online form. Been spelling it the same way for 48 years, it's only 5 letters, and yet I mispelled it

That is not a spelling mistake....that is just a typographical error.

If you keep repeating that you will soon believe it.

My forks are in the middle but knives to the right and spoons to the left....Hubby was looking for a teaspoon the other day and grumbling he couldn't find one, shame he didn't look to the right of the knives, they have been kept there as long as we have been married and that's a long time.
