What Makes You Feel Like An Idiot?

[lucky-E-leven]

Seeing a rock bouncing toward my windshield and swerving with my head instead of the steering wheel.



Your turn.

 

[cloudy]

Playing a racing video game with my son, and leaning in the turns.

Looking at the wrong walk signal at an intersection, and obeying it.

 

[Alessia Brio]

Bending forward to spit my toothpaste in the sink & whacking my forehead against the faucet.

 

[CharleyH]

Attempting to talk in a non-english, sans spanish or french language. I am told I sound Brazilian. It's better than sounding like I come from the Azores.

Getting ready for work on a Monday morning, reaching for the Mentadent toothpaste (the pump kind) and not realizing till about three seconds after you put the brush in your mouth that you actually just used the Dial liquid hand soap.

Telling myself repeatedly that there are beams (seriously, they look like S&M beams over my bed) very low when I'm making the bed. And wacking my head off of them at least 6 times.

Or thinking that there are no more steps and falling...I've done that on more than a few occassions.

Unfortunately, it's really funny for the standers-by, and they get in trouble for laughing.

Done the crooked sidewalk thing...Right onto my face! And then of course having the neighborhood kids that were outside playing stop what they were doing, look in my direction and start howling with laughter.

Good choice actually.

Attempting to go UP the DOWN elevator, and vice versa. This happens more often than I would like to admit.

Being approached by people in public, who obviously know me, but I can't remember who they are. I especially hate it when women do it because I stand there just hoping like Hell that I didn't have sex with themand then forget them.

 

[deliciously_naughty]

When I catch my zipper down in public.

LOL.

That will never happen to me.

I try not to wear white dress shirts too often because I have an irritating tendancy to spill coffee on them...just a couple of drops, but still...

 

[ungenderless]

Everything.

Oh, you mean specifically? Hmmm...

How about putting the carton of milk in the cupboard and the box of cereal in the refridgerater?

My white shirts are doomed if I eat Pizza at the office. Not at home, or at a restaurant. Just at the office.

I feel like an idiot almost every day of the week. It's only when I stop feeling like an idiot on rare occasions that life doesn't seem all that bad (which is only a few times a year).

I locked my keys in the car, only to discover I have locked just the front doors and go in the rear door and crawl over the seat!

 

[TE999]

Tripping over a wheel stop in a parking lot.

You get a nasty road rash from the gravel.

Stepping flatfooted off a curb.

You feel that in your teeth.

Pulling on a 'push' door or vice versa.

Always gets a laugh from onlookers.

Peace.

Here's one from my past:

It was about 7:00 in the morning, shortly after I earned my drivers lisence. I'm sitting in my car in the school parking lot, when I decide to play around with the lighter. I push it in, and pull it out, noticing the smoke coming from it. In a moment of sheer brilliance, I place my finger onto the hot lighter, in order to see if the glowing red, smoking lighter is actually hot. It was, and I looked at my finger as I heard the hissing of my flesh burning. Eventually I realized what I was doing and pulled the lighter off of my finger, but it left a burn for about two weeks. Genious.
