You're an intelligent person usually, but can you sometimes be STUPID?

I consider myself brighter than average; I am articulate, my interests are varied and deep, and I enjoy classic literature. Yet I have just discovered that the clanking sound emaninating from my washing machine for the past 3 weeks was caused by the underwire from one of my bras which had come loose. I have spent this time thinking that I would have to pay to have it seen to. Does anyone else have these blonde moments? (No offence to blondes!)

Hi crystaltips, a simple error like that in no way counter acts the other traits of intelligence you show, it just shows that you are most likely a techniphobe, bored I expect by machines. I have no embarrassment about this at all and have never once put it down to being blonde. I've had the same thing happen myself and extremely irritating it is too, I mean have you ever tried sewing one of the things back in? It appears that as well as sharing the interest of murderous deeds we also have classical literature in common too.

A technophobe! You hit the nail on the head there (back to the subject of murder again!) and it was kind of you to say I am not actually thick. I find the thought of sitting and working out why a machine is misbehaving quite scary. Off-topic...I am just starting to read some Somerset Maughan short stories. Recommend something to me if you want!

One of my all time favourites was an early Marinna Coles one 'Ladies Man', amusing and grizzly at the same time with some real twists. Fiction by the way.

When I have these moments they are usually at more important timesl ike job interviews or when I'm talking to a crush. One example was a couple weeks ago I was talking to this guy I thought was cute in my class. We were talking about horrible parking was and what we do to get a good spot and I say "Oh yeah, I set it up I have a 9:30 class so I just come 15 minutes early and its usually not that bad." and then I realized...that was my 9:30 class. :) I'm such a mess!

Ha ha! I know what you mean, I am an idiot too if I am attracted to someone!! I can't think of examples but that is classic with me. I bet you walked away cringing to yourself. By the way, just before anyone points it out, there's me saying how intelligent I am, and I type EMANINATING instead of 'emanating'!
