I once lost my sense of irony whilst searching the spoon draw for a knife then decided that a spoon would do the job anyway.
About 5 years ago I kept hold of my car keys and lost the car then had to get the manufacturer to build me a new one, when I eventually returned home there was the car, in the garage where I'd left it.
A friend of mine moved to Florida and ended up with a huge mortgage so he had actually locked his house in the keys.
I often like to hone my photography skills by adding hats to various AH user's and dead rockstar's images. One of these was a collage which featured Jim Morrison and band and Joe Wordsworth, I'd given Jim and his cronies delightful titfers placing their image above Joe Wordsworth upon whose head I was going to place a scottish cap. In other words I Tammed Joe under the Doors.

Gauche, go home. You've had far too many. Although I quite liked the second.
Where is the poll button for "has done all of these repeatedly"? When I have too many deadlines or life becomes hectic, I can do them all in one day. Twice at the end of the year, in a crush of work, I managed not only to lock my keys in my office, but not to notice this fact until I arrived to work the next morning, an hour before the secretary (with the master key). I was forced to sit in the lobby waiting her arrival, feeling as if I had a dunce cap on my head for the amusement of passers-by.
My finest moment to date, however, was this: arranging a dinner party and wine tasting, complete with a wide array of delightful food and fine spirits. Spending three days cleaning the house and preparing food. Getting the food done just perfectly in time for the guests' arrival. And sitting there for about half an hour wondering where the guests were.
Checked the invite. Ah. Next week.
Now didn't I feel uncommonly silly. (But well fed.)

I can't answer this poll honestly. Most of the questions require that I actually have things like a car or a cordless/cell phone.
I would therefore appear to be far more competent than I actually am.

Who said anything about a car? Or that the lost phone had to be cordless?
So far, our most frequent proofs of incompetence seem to be tripping over dog/other while racing to answer phone, and losing phone.
Dogs are hiding our phones.

I don't find that incompetent is a good word choice here.. Most of those things fall under the term clumsy.. However, I had to vote none, I'm quite a careful person. I do surprise myself at not locking my keys in the house, since I have a horrible memory, but hasn't happened as of yet (and it is somewhat hard to do when you have a deadbolt, as it needs the key to lock it from the outside)
Anyways, mine is worse.. my house key was stolen some time back.. Someone stole my coat and the keys were in the pocket, as were my glasses.. So I was rather ticked, but that wasn't my fault, can't always prevent theft.

No phones, no dogs, no keys? That doesn't prove you're competent! Picking "did none of these. What's wrong with you people?" merely proves you're not competent to do a poll correctly - or that you've forgotten!
Failure to tick "did any of these more than once" is another sign of selective amnesia.
Naah, I'm being too critical, those folk could just have left the door open, so the cat could walk over the keyboard...
BTW, where's the "arrived at destination, then remembered that wasn't where was supposed to be going" option? (Or is that covered by "invaded wrong country by mistake"?)
