Yes, I'm a total dork!

[OhMissScarlett]

Is there anyone else here besides me who's a little less than "with it" most days? I'm not hip, I'm not cool and often I don't know my ass from a hole in the ground. Do you fuck things up on a regular basis? Can you sympathize? Please tell your tales of dorkhood here.

Same here.
I should let my SO post, cause I'm sure he has a long list I've forgotten.

I drove around forever, trying to save money by bargain shopping when gas is like $2.26 a gallon and our truck gets about 15 miles per gallon.

I keep turning off the ac when it cools off outside, then the sun comes out and it gets hot, then I turn it back on again.

oh, and we both forgot to pay the water bill.

I check my mail in pajama pants that are too short andhorrible oversized non matching T-shirts. Bare foot with myahair still lokking like I just woke up at 4 in the afternoon.

i would wear my scrubs 24/7 if my BF didn't sometimes complain about them

 

[AppleBiter]

I yell at inanimate objects -- especially my shoes -- and I have a shirt that says "DORK" on the front of it.

Being a dork rocks! Once you accept that you are one, you never have to explain your behavior again.

i sat in the parkinglot for 20 minutes trying to remember how to take the emergency break off my truck i've owned for a few months. the knob says "push button and turn" so i do that, push button, push turn, push button, push turn. i'm contemplating whether or not to drive home with it on. er, it's not on all the way so why not? then it dawns on me that i'm not following simple instructions, i'm adding a push on the turn. doh!

i have sore right hand; rubbed it raw with all that push turn.


good thing i'm a lefty

I am too cool to be cool, I always say, but occaissional people around me (lets talk black socks, Doc Marten's, shorts and some sort of psycho-psychadelic shirt and fishing hat - but I won't mention names lol) have a moment when they are too cool not to be nerdy, but nerd is in, so it's a great thing, Don't knock it!

As for dork? I prefer the term ass for myself, or bitch is nice, but it's quite known and quite accepted. In my sans-cyber-world, I am actually quite perfect. lol

I had a similar thing with our truck and the steering wheel having to be locked to one side or the other before you can start it. It's happened before, but I couldn't remember what I did to fix it. This time, luckily, my four year old remembered and said "Mom, you have to turn the wheel until it clicks then start it!"

Charley, I knew you were perfect, sigh.

AppleBiter, I often yell at objects too, like my clothesline or my pants. What's really bad is when I talk to myself and laugh at the jokes I tell myself.

Carson, those just look like classy cargo pants, they don't even look like scrubs!

 

[neonlyte]

Yes.

The other day I walked through the doorway, threw the keys on the junk table, stepped out of my shoes, and padded to the kitchen, shuffling though the mail. I got myself a container of milk, and poured myself a glass.

(Normally it would be tea, but I believe I am growing an ulcer — I am almost certain that my boss is a carrier.)

Went over to the computer and got ready to go through the bills, paying them.

It was at that point when I noticed that I no longer had them in my hand. So, I walked back through the kitchen, to the hall looking to see where I had left them. When that failed to produce results, I started searching through drawers, beneath the kitchen table and the computer desk.

No luck.

Although I was certain I had them in hand when I entered, I finally walked all the way back to the mailbox, to see if I had dropped them somewhere en route.

At last, I gave up and put the empty glass in the sink. At that point, I noticed that I had forgotten to put the milk away, so I did that.

When I opened the refrigerator, there was my mail, lying on the top shelf in the refrigerator.


Sometimes I think I must be wearing out. Nearly thirty, growing a hole in my stomach, and already experiencing the first signs of Alzheimer.



I would be happy if I believed it only meant that I am a dork.

yes! i'm going have to remember that and maybe get away with wearing my classy 'scrub cargos'

 

[OhMissScarlett]

aww, don't feel bad. I heard you were just too damned hot to write.

 

[CharleyH]

LOL - You had a very good excuse!

see, that's exactly the sort of thing I would do! Like the time I drove halfway down the road with my Coke and my purse on the hood of the car before realizing it.

remember, as long as you have a car and a job, that "No Scrubs" song doesn't apply to you.

i do that all the time. when i'm looking for the tv remote, i look in the fridge also. i might've not been any where near there, but occasionally it shows up on the top shelf, next to the sweet iced tea.

I don't want no scrub
A scrub is a guy that can't get no love from me
Hanging out the passenger side
Of his best friend's ride
Trying to holler at me
I don't want no scrub
A scrub is a guy that can't get no love from me
Hanging out the passenger side
Of his best friend's ride
Trying to holler at me


werd. good that it doesn't apply...

I joke, but let's not get into how many guys I dated that fell into that category.
sure, they were hot...

We once spent almost a day and a half looking for the little spiderman's gameboy. His dad had taken him to Jack's for chicken, and when they got home, the bag with the chicken in it (or so I thought) was on the counter, so I put it in the fridge.

Fast forward almost two days later after looking everywhere for that damn gameboy. Yep, it was in the Jack's bag, in the fridge.

Hello, my name is McKenna, and I am a dork...


I was blessed with the dork genes (and jeans!) from my mother and father, though neither of them have reached the depths of dorkdom that I have. My dorkdom was only accentuated by my choice in mate --though he is more a "geek" than a dork. It is quite possibly that my tendencies are more towards the "geek" side as well. Perhaps I am multifunctional. Or something like that.


Who knows.


I'm just wondering, though, if I weren't a dork, would I still be me?


And if I weren't me, who WOULD be me?!


It's a rough job, but I suppose I'd better do it.

 

[SeaCat]

My two best so far:
Looked for my hat for half an hour before I realized I was wearing it. (And I wondered why my wife was sitting on the couch with a puzzled expression on her face while I ranted about not being able to find my hat.)

Looked for my car keys for half the day before deciding to check the one place they wouldn't be. In my pants pocket. (Hey at least I saved gas that day.)

You know my wife doesn't let me forget those don't you?

this reminds me of the first time my boyfriend locked my steering wheel after driving my car. I tried and tried to start the car and nothing happened. I was swearing and kicking things, and finally called him up at work and asked him "what the fuck did you do to my car?"

after he finished laughing, he told everyone at work and still tells the story eery chance he gets

 

[rgraham666]

Yes, Charley is indeed perfect in real life. I've met her. Quite intimidating she is. Only the fact that my knees don't bend keeps me from falling to them.

As far as dorkiness goes, I'm a past master. Masters don't need to brag.
