Do you ever feel incredibly stupid?

I don't often feel incredibly stupid, more like incredibly lazy. I'm such a procrastinator. I wait until the last possible moment to get things done.

Ditto. Except "after" instead of "until" all too often. Of course, then I don't need to do it at all...
 
Senior moments: not once, but TWICE, I have backed up my data to my other Mac by dragging aliases off my desktop to the other computer before re-formatting. Years of Invoices down the drain. :eek: :mad:

Actually, the first time I used a Mac (back when I was about five) I worked out that aliases used up far less space than their original so I converted the entire system and all files into aliases before promptly deleting them. I remember my dad didn't let me use the new computer for about two months after that. :(

*sob*
I miss San Francisco!!


Hmm... Another horribly "I feel so stupid" thing to get back OT..

When my dad and I were in Cupertino *cue angelic singing*, we took two trips around infinite loop.. the first time, I was just hanging out the window, with my mouth open, and tongue hanging out of my mouth like a dog circling a beef factory (and taking still pics), and the 2nd time I was taking a video and narrating. (crap like "check out this building. it's uhm... big")
So, the first time around, there's this tall, fantastically geeky guy walking around his place of work because.. he works there and he can because he works there.
He sees me taking pics, and starts RUNNING to get out of the pic.
The whole time I'm shouting "I'm so sorry! I'm REALLY REALLY SORRY!" and he's just running and laughing at me. (he won't laugh to much when I'm CFO and I take away his stock options! AHAAAA!!!)
I felt like such a stupid tourist and I wanted to curl up into a ball and die.

...so I kept taking more pics. I curled up into a ball later, I was at infinite loop, baby! Woowooo!

I felt like a stupid tourist. That's the worst kind of feeling stupid. :(

How about feeling like a stupid tourist w/ an embarrassing display by an overreacting/angry/father tourist?! I think I win for this one... :( My dad almost got the whole family ejected from Sea World, San Diego when he forcibly yanked Shamu around to take a picture w/ me. :eek:

He must be pretty big to be able to move shamu?

jsw has taken it upon himself to find me a date?

No... just to help you calm down a bit about not having one over half a year ahead of time! Given the volatility of relationships in high school, I seriously doubt more than a few people can be assured of their dates for prom at this point in time. :)

And besides, you and a couple of MR members already appear to be a courtin'. ;)
 
Once upon a time me and my roommates had a party at out apartment. The music selection was provided by my 20 gig iPod. I got a little intoxicated and "fell" asleep early. I woke up the next morning iPodLESS.

Something i took such good care of and was so anal about was gone, only to be taken by some worthless as*hole.

Hopefully while listening to it he was hit by a car knocked over a bridge broke every bone in his body and then got bird flu. I would love to have caught him i would of taken a bat to his head.
 
Memories... you keep trying to repress them they keep popping back up.

Once, in grad school, we had a party for my roommate's birthday. We ordered something like $200 worth of pizza. It arrived early, so I put it in the oven to keep in the warmth. So far, not so stupid. Then things were still running late, so I put the oven on "warm" to keep it warm.

One of the cardboard boxes was on the heating element.

A short while later, while we were chatting up some girls on the balcony (girls which never had been nor ever would be even remotely interested in us), one of them screamed "fire!" and pointed at the oven.

Many good pizzas died that day, although some survived unscathed.

These were Papa Del's pizzas, which magnifies the tragedy only to those who've been to Champaign, IL prior to whenever Papa Del's started screwing with their previously glorious sauce recipe.
