My van has a bit of a dodgy handbrake, and hubby pulls it on VERY tight. I tried to move off this morning and discovered that I couldn't release it. I was trying with my left hand of course as it's a right hand drive, an my left is my weaker arm. So what do I do? I jump over to the passenger side so that I can release it with my right hand ....
... and promptly roll into a wall!
What's the stupidest thing you've done recently? Go on, make me feel better!

How horrible! It reminds me of the old Triumph my husband owned when we were first married. I could manage to drive it to work, but for the life of me, I couldn't ever get it into reverse! Some days I was lucky and could park so I'd be able to drive out front first - other times, I'd have to phone my husband to get a lift into town to put the car into reverse for me! Suffice to say, we traded it in for an automatic soon afterwards!

Don't feel badly. I'm not good at driving in reverse, backing up. I hit two police cars two separate times when I was in my 20's. The cops were nice and didn't give me tickets, no real damage done. But that was incredibly stupid.

Right now to try and make you feel better about it, what silly things I have done lately....mmmm oh I know and this was just so silly I was in a rush and wanted a quick cuppa and to put washing machine on before I went off out and I ended up put the washing tablet into my cup instead of the T-bag, more haste less speed eh!
