Went out this morning to mow the lawns. Put all the equipment in the back of the car. Spill a Diet Coke in the bed of the suv. So I clean it up and drive off. 15 minutes later I am looking for my phone, where is it? On the roof of the car. I just finished driving all over town and the phone was still there- amazing. Last two iPhones ended up in the ocean, can't afford a third

Guy just drove out here from New York to look at my TDI.

Listed at $4500. Told him last night, when he asked what I realistically wanted, that I wanted my asking price.

Drove 3.5 hours. Offered me $4100.

Lol


6 hours of driving for nothing.

I coulda gone fishing.

Spent 10 minutes one day frantically looking for my car keys.  They were dangling from my mouth.  That will be tough to beat but I await the challenge.

My father isn't able to find his glasses cause he is looking for them in the house, and he is wearing them while looking

Don't know if it beats your story, but I was in the same predicament, only the keys were in my HAND!  Maybe a tie?

And then there was a friend of my wife (dead now), who drove off and left her infant son in the shopping cart!  Now a days that would get you locked up, back then she just got a good scolding from the Norwalk PD.

Very similar thing happened with a suburban I was selling- guy drives from Pa, spends 3.5 hrs inspecting it, says he wanted one with barn doors and blue paint. I tell him their is a dealer a few miles down the road that can get him whatever he wants for a couple k more. He stands there hemming and hawing and I go back in the house. It was a cold day.... And he eventually left.
2 days later Spanish guy calls and asks what's the lowest I will take, I tell him the price that is listed is what I will take- he shows up and pays.... Drives away in a suburban

I closed the bolt of my ump clone on my finger at the Bridgeport range as I was putting it in the case. It pinched the tip and started bleeding. I went out and asked for a paper towel. The guy was like what did you do?

I think he thought I shot myself

To add, I racked my 870 and had my pinky too far back. I pinched it in the fore end.

I got a better one... Last time we left the BCM Compound, I put everything in the bed and shut the tailgate.  Turns out since the tonneau cover is such a tight fit, the tailgate never latched.  It fell open about 5 minutes down the road but I kept driving thinking I ran something over.  Drove 45 minutes with it open and I didnt lose 1 thing.  I guess spray on bedliner helped.  Damn that would have sucked..

One of the most painful things I've done is get my thumb stuck in the shell lifter of my super black eagle, then not wanting to miss some ducks I yanked it out while 2/3rds a thumbnail stayed in the gun.  
Hurt like a dick in a zipper.

I now do hasty  loads thru the ejection port via shot card.
