Have you ever used something for the wrong purpose without realising it?

[purplepoppy]

We've all improvised from time to time but have you ever innocently mistaken what an item is used for? How long did it go on before someone corrected you?

When I was much younger, I and my business colleagues were at a formal dinner in London England to celebrate the launch of a new project. I had never seen so much silverware (or should I say cutlery?) arranged around the plate in front of me. When the soup was served, I grabbed the spoon to the right of the plate and started eating. The waitress tapped me on the shoulder and handed me the soup spoon above the plate, and replaced the spoon I had been using. I was embarrassed as she winked at me and said, "Don't worry, even the Brits get it wrong."

[MCheetah]

No, this has never happened to me. Although all of you are using toilets the wrong way.

Yes South Park awesome that’s a really funny episode

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

Yeah, apparently I've been using my fancy eating tray as a toilet seat and never knew I was using it wrong... Thanks for correcting me🤓🤣

[prosaic1]

That's how I got married

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

[prosaic1]

Nope, by using it wrong.

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

I tried to use my cell phone charger for my apple phone when it was not designed for an apple phone and it broke down.

The Internet, itself, is all of the "civilized" world misusing the daily opportunity to turn to the person actually next to them, and say, "What was I thinking?," to place their device appropriately in the trash, and to follow up with, "What do you want to do?"

At a party I was drinking out of a jug of antifreeze that was full of water because my car always overheated. My friend told me that people were talking and it wasn't a good look.
Sorry, I was just a poor farm boy back then.

[Vendela]

Yes. Apparently our little shelf/platform beneath the register at work is not for resting your foot in the Captain Morgan stance and I learned that the hard way. It broke.

I never knew that you were not supposed to use a screwdriver to use as a fork.

[SaoirseS]

I didn’t know you weren’t supposed to use flat screwdrivers to pry lids off of cans either, but I have made some people cringe doing it. What else is that ridiculously large screwdriver good for anyway?

[exitseven]

@SaoirseS I just mixed some quick set cement with one.

[SaoirseS]

@exitseven. Outstanding!

Condoms for weed storage.

In school this is how we got away with storing it without getting caught.

[Anonymous]

yes. oops. I've accidentally used this site as a medium to share my own thoughts and ideas, post videos and links to things going on in the world. But I accidentally did it from a conservative and factual viewpoint. I've since noticed, we're meant to only post leftwing propaganda. 🙄

Im using durex lubricant for assemble my products. Lubricant manufactured for sex but im using it for assemble my products. The difference is i am doing this consciously.

Using a garden hose as a rope.
Using an old tire as a sprinting anchor (belt connected by rope to the tire and do sprints).

[jimmy2]

I used a neighbor garden hose then I threw it back I'm his yard only to run over it with a mower and had to buy him a new one

[Adam_West]

I was using my hand for masturbating and actually it is a wrong purpose. I need your mouth for this.

[KostasKouvalis]

I know I have, but I honestly can't remember what it was now.

[KostasKouvalis]

Oh okay, I got one. When I was in Poland, the church bathrooms all had donation boxes that looked like our trashcans, so I was putting used papertowels in there, until some Polish hag yelled at me.

[prosaic1]

That's how I got married.

[SpaceGalaxy]

I used some women as sex toys by mistake
