I love it when people share with me what they can't do. Yup, it's probably some sort of unhealthy inferiority complex overindulgence kinda thing but I can't help it. Describe to me your ineptitude and I will love you forever.
With that in mind, I must confess just a few (12) of what I like to refer to as my dumb-ats:
-mechanical things aka why does my lawnmower have a dipstick?
-fashion.
-consistently recognizing when someone is toying with me.
-drive-thrus.
-losing weight aka shrinking.
-acting my age.
-shutting up.
-not thinking about peopleofwarlmart.com when I'm in Walmart aka obsessing.
-feeling empathy for hoarders.
-suppressing my movie snobbery aka making stink-eye "noises" during chick-flicks; aka asking seemingly obvious questions during movies that no one wants to think about but because I can't just shut-up I have ruined their suspension of disbelief and they want to stab me.
-listening to my teens without making the "judgmental face" or shaking my head in disbelief.
-phones (A few days ago, I accidentally pressed *89 instead of *98 to check our messages and according to the disembodied voice I am likely responsible for climate change.)
What are your dumb-ats?
My lawnmower has a dipstick?
ReplyDeleteGetting the joke. I usually just laugh along convincingly & try to figure it put later.
ReplyDeleteHA HA......my list would be way too long
ReplyDeleteanything technologically related is MY super DUMB-At
love that statement
and anything to do with numbers..
and believing that WARNING signs are there for a reason........like the time my car overheated, and I opened the radiator cap, even though it says do. not. open. when. hot.
KABOOM.........blew up in my face and I suffered some burns
yeah, that's my worst dumb-at, following signs
My idea of fashion is jeans, t-shirt and runners, don't have a lawnmower :-).
ReplyDeleteAll I know is that I know nothing!
ReplyDeleteI don't have any. I am perfect;)

I'm bumb at writing funny. And freezing vegetables for winter.
ReplyDelete@Al Yup. How useless eh?
ReplyDelete@VinnyC I can relate to that too.
@wendy Technology can be tricky. My new phone won't send or receive texts for some reason.
@Windsmoke My idea of fashion is avoiding pants.
@SRMike Well said. Me too.
@sprite Yes. You. Are.
@michael Sorry to tell you this but that comment was pretty funny: word play (intentional?) AND randomness.
So you are the one who caused hurricane Irene with that phone call eh?
ReplyDeleteI see we are dumb at some of the same things...
Ha ha!
ReplyDelete"Describe your ineptitude and I will love you forever"
Absolutely love it!
... being way too trusting.
ReplyDeleteI love the movie "dumb-at". I share it and am often vilified for it, at which time much thrown popcorn dodging ensues.
