:/ moments, like I just had at the dentist

You know, someone says something and you're just like :/

The dentist lady was cleaning my teeth and says "you have a really small mouth" which of course is hilarious to anyone who knows me. I'm like "I'll have to tell my husband that; he'll find it hilarious"

She says with a pause "...OH you mean you talk a lot"

:/

A sense of humour is lost on the gen pop, Spiro. It does however, make it that much better when the occasional person 'gets' you. :)

*edited out bad word.

grrowl....I had a dental hygenist say that to me once too-it  kinda "made me mad".

we're spoiled at my work. we get lunch brought in 4 days a week. every day, there is an e-mail where the subject line tells us what lunch will be, you know like:

Today's Lunch: Panera Bread

well, apparently they are trying out a new vendor. Today everyone else in my company and I received this in our inbox:

Today's Lunch: Jules

i wish i was making this up.

:/

Ha!  Run for your life, Jules!  Hahahaha

So this is actually a thread about 'facepalm' moments?

So this is actually a thread about 'facepalm' moments?

I have those at least once a day.

My most recent one I think was one where my co-worker was talking, looking directly at ME, and he goes "Well Dean, I think you're wrong on that, I wouldn't want to ride in the car with them anyway."

Dean is my boss. My name is Adria. Not even remotely the same sounding, not to mention Dean is a 40 year old man, and I'm 24 and a woman.

"...Well, first off..my name isn't Dean...."

The co-worker stutters and goes "I wasn't talking to you I was looking over there" He points behind me.....to my right. Dean is sitting to my LEFT.

"...right."

*facepalm!*

this is my new favourite thread.

does this jules lunch come with a side salad, by any chance?  or gravy? 

really, i'm not picky.

Last week, I was attempting to hook up this cheap DVD player I bought so I could watch movies with Nick in my room.  I've never been a fan of television in the bedroom.  I believe bedrooms are for sleeping.  It's just that I've gotten tired of sitting on the awful living room sofa that makes this look comfy.

So I heave the TV (which has been sitting in my closet since I moved in, and which weighs like 40 pounds, no flat screen for me) up onto my dresser.  I remove the DVD player from the box, take off all the awful styrofoam, and hook the cable to the appropriate places on the back of the DVD player and the TV.  I plug each of them in.  I press the power button on the television.

Nothin'.

I stood there and fumed for about thirty seconds... or until Nick walked up behind me and dangled the male end of the TV power cord in front of my nose. 

I'd plugged in the oscillating fan.  *facepalm*

And then after all this, the DVD player was defective.  It didn't work either.  That one wasn't my fault.  I had to take it back.  Stupid Technology. 

i don't know what *facepalm* is.  unless it's when the loser L hits you really hard in the forehead.

but i can tell you with certainty that no one has ever told me my mouth is small.

 Put me down for a leg.

The small mouth comment reminds me of a story. 

This woman I used to work with came in to work one Monday and told us that over the weekend she and her husband had rented a porno movie for the very first time.  After watching in amazement for several minutes her husband turned to her and said,  " Those women have awfully small hands."

Edit:  I'm not making this story up.  She might have been but I'm not.

 well, everything is better covered in gravy, so that's a yes! 

i worked at a really large retailer for lik, 4 1/2 years.  anyways, i was working at the customer service desk (aka complaints and returns desk), and a co-worker came in to return a vcr that she said didn't work anymore.  so i returned it for her, she left for the day, and i realized there was still a tape in there.  so the three of us that were hanging out behind customer service plugged in the vcr and hit eject (so we could return her tape to her the next day...).

black gangbangers 10.

i made my manager return the tape to her the next day. 

the reason this is :/?  dude, eject your porn next time before you return it.

Wow... VHS porn still exists! :O

I don't know what a facepalm is either. someone enlighten me. is it when  you hit yourself in the forehead like that "wow I could have had a V8 commercial?  anyway. about the small mouth thing.  I had a dental hygenist tell me the same thing.  my comment," how do you figure that?"  I too knew my hubby would wail when I told him this. ugh...    &nbs p;   I got a sure enough chuckle out of another hygenist at the same dentist when I asked my usual question upon heading back to the exam room.   " are you going to do me today?"  she was about my age 40 and she let out a huge haha then said,"well, I am going to clean your teeth if that is what you mean."   I told her I guess I had better use a better choice of words next time.   we both laughed.

"The water's cold.  Yeah, and deep too."
