Humor: You know you are having a dumb moment when..

by Barbara Desmond

Created on: March 13, 2007   Last Updated: April 20, 2007

1. Saying, "How can she be depressed when she doesn't do anything?" after seeign a form about a depression study that a person has to qualify for.

2. You can't grasp the concept of a sidewalk so you ride your bike on it. It's a feet area unless of course you're in a wheelchair or a stroller.

3. You seem to forget how to shut your cell off when you go to the library which in theory should be a quiet zone.

4. You turn the oven on but forget to put the food inside. Those cookies can't cook on top of the stove.

5. You take a cart full of groceries to an express lane and a person with only one item gets stuck behind you. Rude much!

6. There's a huge line and the cashier doesn't call for someone to open another register. Isn't there the if there's three in line another register gets open or something like that policy?

7. You go up to the counter with no clue about what you want. Wait until you know so that those behind you who know what they want don't get stuck behind you which can get very annoying.

8. You try to put your head through an arm hole.

9. You try to make toast without plugging in the toaster.

10. You accidentally call a person sir when she's not. It can happen trust me and boy do you feel dumb at realizing it.

11. You put your shoes on before putting on your pants.

12. You manage to drop a slipper in the toilet. Be glad if nothing was in it at the time.

13. You trip going up the stairs instead of the usual going down. This can happen believe me.

14. You walk right into a sliding glass door.

15. You can't set the time on your VCR and/or DVD player. It's not rocket science and setting the timer is pretty easy.

16. You grab a tube of acne cream when you're about to brush your teeth.

17. You use a cup of flour instead of the sugar.

18. You put salt in your coffee instead of sugar. Maybe that's a sign you shouldn't be drinking the horrible stuff.

19. You reach for a piece of fruit in a bowl only to find out after taking a bite that it's actually wax fruit and just a decoration.

20. You try to eat a banana or a pineapple without doing the obvious.
