It's probably happened to you. You're holding two things with incredibly different purposes. Maybe it's a phone and a banana. You're on autopilot and prone to brain farts so you're not thinking. You take a bite and realize "oh crap I just bit my phone." Then you think that's funny and want to tell someone so you take your banana off its charger to text your friend. For some more mistakes here are some classic facepalm moments of dumbness.

    Text - Text - FavouriteParasite 4.3k points · 1 day ago · edited 7 hours ago I once picked up my toothbrush and then instead of picking up toothpaste I picked up a tube of cortisone. Luckily caught myself. I also once picked up a razor instead of a toothbrush and just stared at it. Another time I poured water on the floor instead of in the sink. Just imagine someone standing facing away from the sink, angling their glass of water downwards and just staring at the stream of water hiting the floor

My dad came in and asked for the remote, instead of tossing him the remote I threw my cup of tea and it when all over him. The next morning his chest and legs were red.

    Text - Text - theWildBore 23.0k points · 1 day ago 2 This was my brother, but I was on the receiving end. We were at a country club for a wedding one evening and there were various backgammon games set up. This happened so long ago I don't even remember how to play backgammon anymore. But it was my brothers turn and he was excited. So excited he slammed his glass of bourbon down on the game board and thrust the dice cup full of dice into his mouth. Totally worth being covered in water down liquo

The musicians followed the banana very well - as if it were intentional on my part (some thought the curve aided in making the performance more expressive).
