I always pick vacation weeks that I regret picking....not extremely hot, or heavy snow.... insufferable reasons I pick vacations.
Stupid things that you do?

That muscle memory has me hitting stop complete before the warning registers in my head.

Left the back door rolled up for about a 1/4 mile a few years ago. Lost nothing. Other than that can't think of anything else. I'm like a finely tuned robot.
It happens. Usually when you are trying to go too fast
Yea, happens too often sometimes, get in a rush and start making all kinds of stupid small mistakes. Grab wrong packages, forget to grab packages, pass stops.
That will cost you time and maybe force you into some bad decisions

Got a vasectomy on a Friday. Went to work on Monday. That was a looooong day. My advice to anyone looking to have the procedure done is to schedule it at the beginning of your vacation, not the end.

Had to jump the truck on area, twice, so the supe told me to leave it running the rest of the day. So I get to the next stop and turn the friend*cker off!
Called the supe who has to turn around and come back a third time. He jumps the truck, then gets in and opens the bulkhead, takes the tape gun and puts about 10 revolutions of tape around the steering column and the ignition, tosses the tape gun in the back and leaves without ever saying a word!

Indeed, usually catch myself making mistakes and try to focus a bit more or just slow it down a bit.
We all do it

Did a damage call tag pickup yesterday. When I got to my bulk pickup, I set it on the bumper to get it out of the way.
It was still at the dock today.
I hung my head in shame while the customer laughed.

Most stupid is not leaving the area after not touching and notifying a sup about a leaker.

Here's another one for you. I had a customer come up to me an ask "how much are these things?" (diad) I don't know, couple thousand maybe. why? he says" I shoulda charged him!"What are you talking about?- I found one of those things on the highway! i watched a semi just miss it. I picked it up and saw that it said UPS. I drove around till I saw a UPS truck and gave it to him. The driver was so relieved he said OMG Thank you,thank you thank and then took off! I told your right you should of charged him! He would've PAID. I still haven't figured out who it was but where he said he found it is a training route and is often covered by coverage drivers and rookies.
i've done this a few times, go in the back to find a package for the stop. Find the package you need and then set it down somewhere, then proceed to move things around on the shelf where the package came from. Then forget where you put the package you actually need and have to search around for it.
