I am currently staying with relatives in an unfamiliar area.  I failed to notice in the daylight that next house over is identical in almost every way.  I had just walked 2k from the bus stop in the freezing cold, and was on the phone with my dad for the first time in a while.  Arriving at what I assumed was home, I walked though the unlocked door, shouted a cheery "hello!" and made it as far as the basement before I realized my mistake.  In the midst of a flurry of apologies and an incredibly red face, I beat a hasty retreat to cries of "Honey, I told you to lock the door at night!"  Thankfully, this is Canada and most people don't own guns.

What silly things have you unwittingly done while distracted by something?
