Oh yeah. I think this evening is like that. I forgot to eat supper until I saw the supper thread. I decided to have smoked salmon on a bagel. So, I cut the bagel in half and toasted it. Got out the fixin's and I thought I was ready to eat. I brought the plate to the coffee table and looked at the bagels. They didn't look quite right. There was cream cheese, sliced red onion, and capers. D'uh! I forgot the salmon.You all know who you are!
This is silly but I vaguely recall it from a movie. A man (who I'll call Man 1) is at a bus stop and there is a dog sitting by him. Another comes to sit down and says to Man 1, "Does your dog bite?" The man says,"No, he doesn't." So, the Man 2 reaches to pet the dog and gets bit! The Man 2 says, "I thought you said your dog doesn't bite." Man 1 says, "HE doesn't, this isn't my dog!"
Inspector Clouseau, "The Pink Panther Strikes Again". A classic!
Addie, yours is a groaner...

Has anyone else filled the carafe with water, set it on the hot plate, turned on the coffee maker, and a few minutes later wondered why I was not smelling fresh coffee?
I have done this more than once.
Himself has done that. I use a measuring cup for the water; if I use the carafe I end up missing the reservoir with some of the water. I'm more guilty of putting the grounds in the basket, then forgetting to add water at all. And when I'm really foggy, I've even put water in, then forgot the grounds. You end up with a very weak cup of coffee.Has anyone else filled the carafe with water, set it on the hot plate, turned on the coffee maker, and a few minutes later wondered why I was not smelling fresh coffee?

I have to clarify how I can add water and forget grounds. I'm actually not as stupid as that sounds. Close, maybe, but......I don't recall ever putting in water and forgetting the coffee...
