I've tried to scratch my head.

Or sneeze on the inside of the visor then have to rub it off twice. Once for the splatters, twice for the smear!

Oh and then you go and sneeze again!!!

true, but then I doubt anyone notices.

you'd feel a whole lot worse with a bee in the eye though!

You always feel a prat when.....

You get into the wrong side of the work van put your seatbelt on and then try to grab the non-existent steering wheel. I did it in full view of my colleagues not 15 minutes ago.

My defence is I used to live in the states Can't get used to switching between LHD and RHD cars

Iv done that before. Took me a few seconds to realise why my head was hard and smooth too

The fact that you are all driving while in this disconnected state that worries me the most!

Hopefully you don't think you are still in the US when on a dual carriageway

You probably feel a prat if you throw up due to a hangover while wearing a helmet, you certainly find it funny when your mate does it!

i once tried yo eat a mars bar while wearing a helmet. it was the first attempt at taking a bite that made feel a numpty.

back when I had a bike - always taking helmet off before removing my glasses - always always always.

Especially bad in petrol stations as you try to put helmet back down without breaking glasses or try and extricate glasses with helmet half off !!!

getting all strapped in at a busy petrol station and then realising the keys were in my jeans pocket, with absolutely no chance of getting them out, is the silliest i've done.

Just as bad when you're looking round the bike for them.

I left the brake lock on once, pushing backward with all my might trying to get it off the stand...

Edit: ...when less than two minutes after typing this you get cramp and you're trying to stand up while your leg's curled under the chair.

Lost count of the times I've done that... best one was last Sunday morning - wife and I strapped ourselves into the car - then I realised that I'd left the keys indoors!
