Guest Idiots
Posted on February 13th, 2009
What I enjoy most about sharing stories of my idiocy, is that it inspires others to share stories of their own idiocy. Proving to us all that we are not alone. Or that people like to make up stories just to make me feel better.
Did I do something you have done? Have you done something even more ridiculous? Please share with the world. We’ll all get a good laugh and I promise you you’ll feel better. Really.
The only rule is that you can only submit stories about yourself. No fair outing someone else as an idiot. This is the I’m An Idiot Show, not the That Guy’s An Idiot Show.
All stories have to pass the rigorous Idiot Approval Process (similar to what the FDA does) before they are posted.
So, go forth and be idiotic. Just don’t forget to share it with the world.

Spent the better part of my life thinking wall-to-wall carpet actually meant the home had a nice shaggy burbur clinging to its vertical surfaces. An interior designer I am not. A part-time idiot indeed I am.

I didn’t realize until very recently that an attorney and a lawyer were the exact same thing.

Every time the lottery gets over 200 million (because it just is not worth my time to play prior to that) I put my money in a pool to “increase” my odds of winning. This has happened about 10 different times in my current job. There are 10 of us that put in $10 each ($100 so 100 tickets).
The same person has purchased the tickets each time and held them. I have never seen them. I always figured that the person really could not rip us off since we would see their name as a winner for any amount that we got.
I started getting a little curious when we had only one like $100 one time, I figured we would at least have gotten some lower wins with 100 tickets. The reason why we never won anything before made me realize I was an idiot for trusting and idiot.
Our Ticket Purchaser figured that to increase our chances, they had to buy 100 tickets with the same numbers. I am not sure where this logic came in, but I realized that I would have been just as well off if I had flushed my money down the toilet. but instead I put $10 a time into buying 100 tickets with the same numbers because I am an idiot.

I tend to get into routines that I can accomplish with absolutely no thought involved. Breakfast is a perfect example. I have the same thing every day, 2 cherry poptarts and a glass of milk. It works out perfectly because I can not only do this without thinking about it, I could most certainly do it without even opening my eyes. Everything is always in the same place and most mornings I don’t even remember making breakfast it just happens to show up at my chair the same time I do. it normally takes roughly the same amount of time to make my morning coffee as it does for the poptarts to toast so everything is in harmony. Yesterday was like every morning except for the fact that I found myself waiting for the poptarts to pop up. I thought nothing of it, perhaps I only rinsed the coffee pot out once instead of my normal twice it wasn’t until I had finished my breakfast and went to get my first cup of coffee to snap out of my morning daze and get ready to face the day that I realized where I had shaved a few seconds off my normal well tuned routine. Instead of my much needed infusion of caffeine what awaited me in the coffee pot was clear hot water. That’s right, I had rinsed the pot, put water in the coffee maker, inserted the filter, turned it on and walked away. And there you have it.
I too am an idiot.
Sometimes it’s the littlest things that can set the tone for the entire day.
