Good morning everyone and welcome to QOTD for Tuesday, October 29th 2013. Yikes – I spent all day today thinking it was Wednesday. It was only when looking at what’s on TV tonight that I saw it’s Tuesday! Just in the nick of time for QOTD! (For those who may be wondering, it’s already Tuesday evening here in Australia!)
Today’s Question:
Have you ever completely lost a day, or a large part of a day like I did today... or perhaps turned up for an appointment on the wrong day? Or gone to work on Saturday, thinking it was Friday. Or turned up at the airport a day early or late for your flight? Please share any such incident (or similar) that you recall.
Extra Credit Question:
Have you ever –
Had your car damaged by hailstones
Had an absolutely awful haircut
Won more than $200 (on one ticket) in a lottery
Been the only passenger on a bus
Flown in a helicopter
Bonus Question:
When was the last time you walked in a city or town park?
Just for fun:
How old were you when you first started wearing a wrist watch?

Won more than $200 (on one ticket) in a lottery

yup-used to be that last one the school bus let off.

If you count the village green, walked across one a few days ago to get from the bank to the post office, and back again.

I let you know when I do.

Or turned up at the airport a day early or late for your flight? Please share any such incident (or similar) that you recall. With my job I often do not know what day it is. Crossing lots of time zones can really mess up one's internal clock. It does not help working 30 hour days. Not too long ago I went in the bank. As I was leaving the teller told me to have a nice weekend. I looked at her and said it is only Wednesday. She looked back at me and said it was Saturday. I had lost 3 days.

Had an absolutely awful haircut When I was little my dad use to cut my hair. It would take him about 45 minutes using 2 different clippers. The whole time he would be commenting what a good looking haircut it was turning out to be. The truth is it looked like he put a bowl on my head and shaved around it. Now if he had actually put a bowl on my head and shaved around it I would have been ok with it. But trying to sit still on a stool for 45 minutes for a crappy looking haircut was just too much.
Won more than $200 (on one ticket) in a lottery Not in a lottery. I once won $1,000 on a scratch ticket. I have also won a $1,000 on a KENO ticket.
Been the only passenger on a bus Probably the fewest people on the bus when I was riding was 4 or 5 people.
Flown in a helicopter I have one time. I was 12 and was in the right place at the right time.
Bonus Question:
When was the last time you walked in a city or town park? A couple days ago. There is one across the street from where I live.
Just for fun:
How old were you when you first started wearing a wrist watch? 6 or 7.

This has never happened to me.
But one time I forgot to set my clock back when the time changed and didn't realize it until late that evening.

I turned up a day early for a haircut once. I'm still not sure whether it was my mistake or his. Another time, when I was young and working at a doctor's office, I booked an appointment for a day the doctor wasn't in. I got royally chewed out and later lost my job. Now that I'm retired, I often forget what day it is and have to remind myself. One time a member here posted the "Friday Questions of the Day," and I laughed and thought it was a joke, because I was positive it was Monday!

Had an absolutely awful haircut Lots of times, and I've got the photos to prove it. My dad's father was a barber, so Dad thought he inherited hair cutting skills. He didn't. I have some pretty hilarious class pictures with soup bowl haircuts like the ones Alaskan Mutt described. I also have some heinous bad perm photos from the 80s.

Flown in a helicopter Yes, a couple of times. Don't like it.
Bonus Question:

I live across the street from a city park, but I haven't gone walking there for ages.
Just for fun:

About 12 or 13.

I rarely know what day it is. I remember way back when, I jumped out of bed thinking I was going to be late for school only to realize it was Saturday. At least I was still at home when I figured that out. Have shown up at the dentist a day late...Oops

I'm past due. I cannot even remember the last time I did that
Just for fun:

Not too sure. The one thing I do remember is I always wore it on my right wrist and it drove my father batty (tee hee hee). According to him, I should have been wearing it on my left wrist because I am right handed. To this day, if I wear a watch, it goes in my right wrist and he still shakes his head at me (mind you he always shakes his head at me for some reason or another anyways)
