Simple things that cause you retard moments.

Happen to everyone.

My personal:

The months of the year. I can't seem to remember their numbers. I always have to count it out in my head. Jan, Feb, Mar, Sept, Oct, Nov, Dec usually don't cause me much grief but the others require me to leap over mountains to figure out.

I have to stop and think about 80% of the time when it comes to knobs and how to turn them to do what. I end up repeating "lefty loosey, righty tighty" in my mind before attempting to do anything.

I'm used to saying "wake up later today" while most, if not all, of my friends use "wake up tomorrow", if we're up past midnight for a certain day. So the conservation gets derailed as soon as there's mention of "doing stuff tomorrow" (which I believe is the day after the one we're speaking). Then I gotta figure out when this thing is realiy happening and if the people I'm speaking with are on the same wavelength as myself.

I do the lefty righty thing.. Only because theres been too many times where iv turned on a tap wrong and burnt the crap out of myself with hot water.

The old .. Sugar in the fridge, milk in the cupboard..Theres been one time where i actually went to get a cup of coffee and a drink of water.. Somehow the cup of coffee went to the fridge and i came back with the water.. :/

I'm just generally scatterbrained when it comes to remembering simple things that I need/use every day. (Phone, wallet, ID badge for work, Blackberry, keys, etc.)

I have a tendency to leave important things at random places because I can't stand to have things in my pockets/attached to my belt/etc, so the first thing I do when I get somewhere is unload everything onto a table.

When reading american publications, how the date is stupidly reversed makes no sense to me. it often leaves me stupified figuring out if something happened on the eleventh of april or the fourth of november.


it doesnt make logical sense to have the month before the day god damn it.

+1

That's my policy, too.

The exception is if you do the all-nighter and then go back out. As soon as you go back out, it's tomorrow.

If it is 5am and you're sitting around sketching, it's still today.

I could never read analog clocks at a glance. I understand how they work, but it always takes me a good 5-10 seconds to figure out what time it is.

when people say "you're welcome" I say it too, instead of "thank you".

Not necessarily that specific statement, but I'm the same way. I can type like a manbeast, and pwn quite well at essays, arguments, and other forms of written material. But when you ask me to think on my feet with my voice, I'm absolutely stutter heavy and retarded.

I�ll never forget I was in blockbuster one night a few years ago with my ex, just minding my own business trying to pick out a movie. Well this really whitetrash fat chick kept giving me dirty looks as she passed me by in the store.

Anyway, it was really apparent that she was being a total hater for whatever reason. I just pretended like I didn�t even notice her there. Well�we get up to the line and I�m talking w/ my bf and she literally says something under her breath like �shut the fuck up� or something. I looked at her and said, �I�m sorry, you weren�t just talking to me were you� and she couldn�t even look me in the eye and she kept running her mouth. I said something to the effect of, �What the hell gave you the impression that I was talking to you? Mind your own damn business�. My bf is cracking up at this point and I�m kinda laughing too�but more in like an �Are you fn kidding me?� type of laugh. As she is walking out of the door she says her final diss to me which was, �Why don�t you EAT SOMETHING you skinny bitch� to which I replied, �haha why don�t you eat something for me�.oh shit, looks like you already did!�

Even the store clerk started cracking up.
