The "Oh God Why Did I Do That?!" Thread

Did you Google it first?

Space mooring might be worse for all we know.

[Yaxley]

In the future, there's going to be a lot of angry starship captains that have to call it space mooring just to keep the rest of the crew from tittering.

Tee hee. You said "tittering."

[Geoff_B]

Hi. We're all twelve.

[Vigafre]

I'm actually 11, thank you.

[plummeting_sloth]

Well, if space mooring does become something, I hope they have the proper respect to also call it "slothing" for short. Unless that's already something as well... which is a suggestion i refuse to verify.

[Geoff_B]

Can't we just accept the fact that every expression means something else and move on, creating a completely new language in the process?

[theDreamer]

You may refuse to verify, but

Slothing: When you are able to finger a girl using three or four fingers, as many as a sloth. (highest votes on UD. The option option is simply "When one acts like sloth, hanging on trees or other objects like a sloth would do" and others)

I don't want to live on this planet any more.

I rubbed my eyes after handling hot pepper.

[plummeting_sloth]

I also don't want to live on the pepper planet as well.

I do that all the time. You get used to it.

I started breathing after I woke up

See, that's where you went wrong. Don't breathe. EVER!

I applied to be a GM for Heroes of Newerth and a Volunteer forum moderator. I have no idea why. I might get fired for being over zealous.

[GreigKM]

It'd be easier to list the things I don't regret

[plummeting_sloth]

Today, during an interview, I forgot where I went to college. Then, while trying to get it out, I said "Ah... brain...words". Somehow I still signed on with them.

I REALLY try, but I was groggy from just waking up and did not think... I KNOW that O2 is the more common reason people die

That is awesome

[plummeting_sloth]

Presumably they hoped I wouldn't have similar troubles remembering what elements can't go to with what.

So, I'm at Star...[MAJOR CAFFEINATED DRINKS RETAILER] with my brother. The girl taking my order is really cute and we seem to be hitting it off <- my first mistake was assuming that we where hitting it off.

Next thing I know, while I'm trying to figure out what I was to order, looking at the menu-like placards they have on the wall behind the counter, I start to shift from foot in an effort to get a better look at the menu-like placards. She lets out a "You're quite excited. Is it because of me?"

Admittedly, I was moving quite a bit - those damned columns get in the way every time.

I look her in the eyes and, quite calmly nod.

I start trying to be charming and aloof (read: talking like an idiot, making myself look foolish). At which point she says, "You talk quite a lot, don't you?"

To which I reply (and I'll wrap it in a spoiler, because of what she took it to mean):

"Words just come dribbling out of me, at times"

I think that her main problem was that at the moment I said "Words" someone dropped a dish and it shattered. "I think you should be quite now," was her response. I nodded, paid for my drink and left.

Needless to say, I haven't been back to that same Star...[MAJOR CAFFEINATED DRINKS RETAILER] for a few weeks.

Sounds like you're passing a lot of Bucks there

[plummeting_sloth]

That a shame, because I could totally see that seen playing out as endearingly awkward, but perhaps you had the wrong person or the right person on the wrong day.

Next time (and believe me, there will be a next time) something like this happens, I'll bear that in mind. I don't mind being the cooky, yet slightly weird, customer

[plummeting_sloth]

Wait until there's a slow day there. I've known many a barista to be more friendly and flirty when it's slow simply as a means of passing the time.

[GaProgMan]

Noted.
