Mine are!
My top three from this week alone are:
1- rushed round after my day job Monday night so I wouldn't be late for my night job only to find I wasn't actually meant to be working!
2- drove half way home Wednesday night and had to pull over to pat my pockets down as I thought I had left my car keys at work!
3- tonight i used the LED on the electric fencing to light up a job I was doing, which was I'm ashamed to say connecting a bit of fencing -shocking lol!

Anyone else having "blonde" moment issues? Please say I'm not alone in this :)

I love these, esp no. 2 :)

I did a classic last week - I have a choice of two park&ride stations to get to work, one near horse and one near house. The one nearer house has an infrequent train service, but is handy. Was sitting in train as it pulled out of the station nearest horse feeling rather hungry and looking forward to my dinner, when I had the painful realisation that my car was not, in fact, parked at the nearer-to-house station but at the one the train had just left...
Had to get off at the station that is near my house (but not walkable, unless you want to do 20 minutes along a dark country road with no footpath), cross the bridge and wait half an hour for a train back to the previous station. With grumbling stomach, and a cost of £2.60 for a single ticket to go 2 stops... :D
 
Nope your certainly not my list is too long to list on here but glad I'm not the only one whose moments are on the increase but I am blonde so :-))))
 
Mine have been awful lately too! Today I was running round in a stress ransacking the house trying to find my phone - after about 5 minutes I realised it had been in my hand the whole time.
 
I can put your phone blonde moments to shame :p
I was looking for my sister's phone , she'd gone out and I was sure she'd left it in the house charging, I wanted to get a photo off it. So I rang it and she picked up , so I said
"where's your phone? I can't find it"
"Are you serious..."
"Yes I've looked everywhere , where is it?!"

Then the penny dropped.. well after 5 minutes :o I've threatened her to never bring it up again !
 
This week has been full of them, forgot my pin for my cc despite having the same pin for 5 years!

Secondly put my horses brushing boots on upside down

Thirdly after a manic day today taking mini me to a show I proceeded to put a bottle of shampoo in the fridge!
 
Oh nice to know I'm not alone :)
My silliest to date was when I was emptying out daughters stuff last week from house and storing it on my garage. I got home, parked on drive then looked around and almost jumped out of my skin! Why? there was a mirror facing me on the back seat and I spooked at my own reflection :D ..
 
I happily went off for a hack tonight then after 5 minutes realised I still had my fleece hat on and hadn't even got my riding hat out of the tack room.
 
I am not blonde!! And I get "moments" I nearly forgot yard Xmas dinner till someone reminded me at 11 today, dash home to get decent!!
Posted my house keys through letter box cos postman gave me the mail as I was locking the door, meant to push letters through save taking them to work!!!
Forgot which car park I left car in in chester, called police,, thought it was stolen, nice copper looked at ticket and said " madam, your ticket is for the car park accross the road"
Beat that one!!!
I was mortified.
 
I went to ride on Friday, took horse out into school, put all the jumps back up where they'd fallen down in the wind, went to get on and as I lifted my foot up realised I still had my wellies on.

Also at work today I tried to put an empty plate in the microwave.

I've previously put a plate in the bin at work, given a customer a milk jug instead of their cup of tea and a variety of other daft things.

A couple of weeks ago I got to the yard, got out of the car leaving the keys in the car as the car is right in front of the yard, told myself not to lock the car as I got out. Got back to my car a while later... locked keys in the car. Had to get my friend to give me a lift home, a lift to work in the morning and then a lift back to the yard when her dad had managed to get the car unlocked with a piece of wire and a fish hook!
 
Turned Elvis out without doing the surcingle's on his rug.
Put his brushing boots on facing the wrong way.
Turned up a day early to a physio appointment.
Got in the wrong side of my car- sitting in the passenger seat wondering how I'd ended up there.
Getting in the wrong side of other people's car and then having to remind myself I don't drive this one.

(To be fair, my last job involved driving/being the passenger in lots of different vehicles and it seems to have left me with a permanent confusion)
 
Don't get me started on the number of "can't find glasses which are on top of my head - hair band style" and the hours I've spent looking for them.... And ... Yes, I am blond!
 
Put o/r boots on the back feet, took two steps away towards the tack room, looked back and realised what I'd done. Luckily nobody saw and I managed to change them quickly! Put the bridle on with the reins crossed under the neck - spotted that one just before mounting. Could have been interesting...... I won't tell you any more because I sound like a complete numpty already!
 
I locked my car keys in the boot on Monday at 5.30 am at the yard. Had to ring OH to bring the spare key. This went down like a lead balloon!
 
Me and my friend managed to get lost on friday night, drove in circles round Stroud for two and a half hours at two am.
 
Looking for my reading glasses, yes you've guessed it,I was wearing them, having ransacked the house looking for them! Doh!

Not on my head, on my nose,

This sounds like me! Although usually I'm wandering around looking for my glasses before realising that I'm already wearing them. Or I go to take them off and realise I'm not actually wearing them!
 
Thank goodness there are lots of us .... my most recent I brought ne bridle fitted it and rode got back to realise I had 1. put the bit on upside down AND back to front, 2. the headpiece was on backwards, 3. the browband was on back to front (padded bit on the outside). Thes worst bit is it has taken me two weeks to find all the little bits that were wrong (but saving grace the bit was the first find).

And today I put the dog in one car and got in the other one to drive!

Please say there is some hope for us.
 
Not me but a blonde friend who went off to work with odd shoes on and wondered why she was limping. She had one flat shoe on and one with a small heel !
 
Tied my hair up for an experimet in my chemistry lesson today...I then proceeded to spend the next 10 minutes trying to find the hairband to tie my hair up for the experiment...ah well we break up for xmas hols on thursday
 
I had one that could have ended with me having to buy new ponies and tack :P

I left my gate AND my box unlocked :O

Thankfully the ponies can't get out if it's unlocked, but it's easily opened by a human! EEK! Makes me glad they're in the middle of nowhere!
 
The other day trying to measure my friend without a tape measure, saw a roll of xmas wrapping paper in the kitchen, held it against her and said 'well this says its 4 metres'...she just stared at me while I was thinking hmm...well surely she can't be 4 metres tall...what an idiot! :biggrin3:
 
I went to work with my slippers on! Had nice toasty feet until lunchtime when I went home to change them. Luckily I had no meetings so could hide at my desk all day!
