How much of an idiot are you?
 
Ok I was thinking yesterday about how it took me forever to figure out Van Halen's For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge album stood for you know what. Anybody have a similar story about something that after you figured it out, you were like "I cant believe I dinn't know that!!":lol:

SuzeQuze 09-15-2006 03:09 PM

A big one. I should've broken up with my last ex a lot sooner and saved myself a lot of grief. He was with someone else after 2 mos and then moved in with her the next year. WTF? I hate men right now. :mad: Sorry, not men, just him. ****er.

DrummerDeanna 09-15-2006 03:11 PM

Um where do I start? :laugh: There are tons of things that make me feel like an idiot --

The first one that comes to mind is that snail cartoon Carrie posted a little while ago - I STILL don't get it :shrug:

Oh I just found out he was living with her. I chat with him over AIM once in a while but I usually just wind up sad. I guess it isn't a good idea.

:eek: Probably not the best idea - but we all like to torture ourselves don't we :o

Maybe now that you've found out he's living with her - and since he always makes you sad anyway (which you totally don't deserve) it's time to let him go....

Yeah, you're right. He was already deleted from phone, time to remove from buddy list.

Heh - does he do the contacting when you guys chat online or via phone? I was in a horrible and similar pattern in Rochester with a guy - and I would continually delete him from my phone/ AIM list -then he's message/call me -and I'd save it again :rolleyes:

I hate this stuff...sorry you're going through it - it's never fun :distress:

it's just a guy who went to a snail "doctor," and the doctor shoved scissors in his ass. what makes it funny to me is that the situation is completely ridiculous, and the dude is only a little skeptical. i am cracking up just typing it. :lol:

You're right, I was reading too much into it :laugh: It's random and odd - but the image and idea is quite amusing. Glad I'm not a complete idiot who missed some big joke...

wondergirl9847 09-15-2006 05:32 PM

You wanna know how stupid I am?????
 
I took it upon myself to try to be nice and book a limo for a group of us for the concert we're going to on the 29th. I spent the last month or two asking for quotes, calling around, emailing, you name it. Trying to find the cheapest fare for us all.

Well....the very person who wanted the damn limo THE MOST is now b*tching about the cost of any extra hours over 8. I thought our deal was decent, but she won't effing shut up about it and I can't get my deposit back (even though it's not been charged to my credit card yet).

NEVER again.

WHY me, WHYYYYYYY?!?!

I figured that one out in about 2 seconds (On the day it was released no less).

Nothing idiotic has ever happened to either Deb or myself, but her brothers wondered what the blue square shaped signs with the letter "H" were for :lol:

BTFLCHLD 09-15-2006 09:09 PM

I just got off the phone with an idiot. :eek: That sounds a little harsh!

A guy friend I've known for some time is having a baby with his girlfriend. They don't have a good relationship to begin with based on her infidelities. There is question as to whether the child is his. So, he takes her to the doctor today. During the examination she asked the doctor about checking the dna of the child. Here is the "idiot" part: He thinks, by her asking that of the doctor, that the child must be his as she wouldn't want a test if the child wasn't his.

OKKKKKKKKK! Couldn't the other possibility be that she may not be so sure who the father is as well?!!! :lol:

The Catdancer 09-16-2006 05:19 AM

Idiot??? Me??? No way..... hell, yeah. Let me tell you my story, if nobody is interested, I don't care, just ignore it.
OK, at age 14 I knew I was a lesbian (Stevie made me think about me LOL), so I had girlfriends, went to gay bars etc. At age 33 I meet this man Dirk. I have nothing against men so we became friends and he was a true gentleman, the knight in shining armour etc. We were friends for about 6 months and suddenly it hit me..... I was in love with a man!!!!! Panick city but I decided there was nothing wrong with that, you have no control over your feelings etc. I knew he was in love with me and in Oct. '96 we became a couple. The first few months were great but than he started drinking and doing drugs, mainly cocaine. I saw this man change from the knight into a demon. The first time he hit me was Jan. '97. I should've walked away right then and there. I didn't. I had this crazy idea:"If this relationship doesn't work, I'll be alone for the rest of my life". I stayed with him for 4 1/2 years and he beat me up so badly my own doctor didn't even recognize me. Every time he was drunk or on coke all hell broke lose. In Feb. 2001 we had a fight about a little thing: he had f***** up the computer and I fixed it. He couldn't stand it that I could do it and he couldn't. He screamed obsceneties and wanted to beat me up again and all of a sudden it hit me:"This isn't going anywhere, this will only get worse. One of us is gonna be killed but it's not going to be me". So while he was screaming and yelling I started to pack my stuff, took my cat and got the hell out. I was single for a few years, didn't trust anyone but then I moved to the USA in 2004 and met Peg, the love of my life and we've been together eversince. She is the most wonderful woman on this earth. We plan to get married and spend the rest of our lives together. But an idiot I was.... big time!!!!!

I love your sig. It's tough to get out of any relationship. When it's a abusive you don't think straight because they screw with your sense of who you are. Many people waste many more years than you did. I'm so glad to hear you're with a great person now :)

Thank you. I've heard/read several stories of people who couldn't get out of that similar sitaution. I thank God I had the strength to finally say:"Til here and no further". I honestly think that one of us would've died, that's how destructive the relationship was but I was sure it wasn't gonna be me.
And now... Peg is the greatest, she's so sweet. She would never hurt me or beat me up etc. She's wonderful.

Actually no Debbie, you were not an idiot and quite the contrary, you were brave. You fell into a trap that unfortunately many women do, but had the good sense to remove yourself from a very dangerous and damaging situation. Many women stay and for that reason, many women die. Good for you for having the strength to get out when you did and your reward was finding Peg. :nod: :xoxo:

:nod: Exactly!! I do not think you're an idiot because of the above situation. I'm so glad that you got out as so many won't don't!

Also - it's great that you found Peg - so out of something bad - came something good - and it gives us love-fans some inspiration :o

Thanks. It was a very dangerous situation and one of us could've been killed. I feel so sad for the women who stay in an abusive relatioship.
Peg is wonderful, I've never met anyone like her, she's so sweet. I love her with all my heart. And you're right, she is my reward.

michelle2677 09-18-2006 06:15 PM

so this was my blonde moment awhile back. (I'm really not this stupid-I was just having a bad day. whaddaya do?:shrug: )

SO. I had to visit my dermatologist which is about 2 hours away. My husband had asked me the week before if I needed directions and I insisted "NO..I've been going there since I was 14 and did NOT need directions!! (huff huff)"

we get lost. :lol:
we took a friend with us and she is just laughing her ass off. So he starts mocking me. You know the one-the head is bobbing back and forth and finger is waiving.."I don't NEEEED no directions...been coming here for 14 years....damn right" whatever. :lol: So i tried to save what little dignity I had left and said "I have NOT been coming here for 14 years..I've been coming here since I was 14!!!!! " He turns to look at me and says...."erm..how old are you??"
"28.....****!!!"

yeah. I have those moments all the time.

BTFLCHLD 09-19-2006 12:06 AM

I've pulled a niki. :sigh: This weekend while at the mall I stopped in at Bath & Body Works. I picked up some lotion. Last night, before I went to bed, I rubbed some in on my forearms and hands. My hands and arms were totally sticky the more and more I rubbed the stuff in. I gathered as it was "mango and manderin orange" that there was a lot of orange extract. I washed my hands and went to bed. I showered and such in the morning. I noticed all day that my forearms itched like crazy! Tonight when I came home, I looked at the back of the tube to see the ingredients and what I may be allergic to. I noticed the directions state apply with a wet washcloth. HUH? I looked at the front and what I purchased is actually creamy body wash. I am now paying the price. I am going to go steam this chit from my pores. :wah:
