Stupid stuff
« on: January 18, 2011, 03:16:09 AM »

OK, we all have things that happen that make us feel really stupid.  I thought it might be sort of cathartic to toss out the stuff that we do that we think is stupid.  We can have a little fun and not feel so "alone" in the process.  Who's game?  And yes, I'll start. :)

I hate making typos in email or forum posts ... I get really annoyed when I find them (always after I've sent them :gaah: ).  I know better, I see others do it and I know we all make little mistakes for a number of reasons, but I still feel stupid for doing it. :whistle:

I'm terrible with names- really embarrassingly so. People I've known for 20 years, I still have trouble with their names. I can remember what they do, how many kids they have, their positions on topics- but not their names. And to make it worse, evidently I'm memorable, because people I've spent very little time with always remember my name. I hate hoping someone else will come up and talk to us so I'll hear the name and not have to admit I couldn't remember it.

peace,
ES

I am sure I do many things.....lol

But the one that really gets on my nerves is. When talking to someone, I loose my train of thought in the middle of the sentence...... :gaah: Then try to get it back. No way.

ES, that sounds like me!  I'm absolutely horrid when it comes to remembering names.  Same goes for important dates.  I still to this day have to double check the date of my mom's birthday because I can never remember it.  I think the worst for me is having to do simple math.  Math and I don't like each other.  My brain really dislikes it and tends to completely go blank when a math problem or numbers are in front of me.  I can work out complex equations as long as I have a calculator handy to do the little stuff for me.  It is fine if I don't know the answer when I'm by myself, but when someone is around to see how truly ignorant I am when it comes to math I am just mortified.  Even more so when my 9 year old is better at it than I am. :whistle:

This morning I broke a banana off the bunch to take with me to work. When I got to the car I realized I'd left the banana in the kitchen and brought the rest of the bunch with me...

I feel really stupid when I don't remember people that I've met at work at all.  There aren't very many women with careers in the same field as me.  As a result, a lot of folks remember me and I have no recollection of them at all.  I have learned to cover pretty well, but I still feel like an idiot when someone says "Good to see you again" and I can't place them at all.

Getting 5 minutes from the house and realizing you forgot something you really needed for where you are going, like the grocery list when heading to the store.

I feel ya sis ... I have the same problem.  I'm bad with names too.  Nothing worse than getting into a conversation and having to say "Sorry, what was your name again?" 5 minutes after meeting someone. :whistle:

I do way to many stupid things to list  :rotflmao:


My worst thing I would think is I have a tendancy to mis-pronounce words on occassion and make it sound sexual in nature. 

I think I am the queen of the un-intentional sexual inuendo :whistle:

I'm a combination of ES and Foxy, names and math. I despise math. And I go into a room and forget why I went in there too.

My biggest thing is putting stuff down and not rememberig where the smurf I left it. Particularly frustrating at events and conferences - cans of soda, pens, schedules, keys, my shoes...

I so like everything to be in its place- I sit down with the mail- sort into piles- keep, answer, throw away and on many occasions find the junk mail and ripped envelopes in the office and the important stuff in the bin  :whistle: I too am bad with names and birthdays- have to write everything down.

My brain is like a sieve and getting worse all the time mostly because I daydream a lot-- think absent-minded professor. The worst was quite a few years ago when I discovered at lunch that I had forgotten to put the peanut butter or jelly on the bread of my sandwich. My family still jokes about the fact that I had an air sandwich for lunch.  :rolleye:

I'm also not terribly observant of details like what someone is wearing or landmarks in my area. Once someone asked me directions and wanted to know if a library I frequented daily was near the huge green water tower. I had no idea what they were talking about. Right after the conversation, I crossed the parking lot next to the library to get to another building I went to every day and noticed that I had to walk across the base of a giant green water tower to get there. :whistle:

I frequently answer "yest" to my kids even though I haven't really heard the question.

You do realize they are learning that now and saving it up for when they are teenagers, don't you?  :rotflmao:
