Recently noticed i've been typing "ain't" instead of "aren't" and I feel like a bit of a idiot.

**Avatar 720**

Assuming someone could reciprocate my feelings for them.

Each time I tell myself that i'm never going to get caught up in this gak again, and then I go and do it all over.

**Chowderhead**

I don't sleep-walk, I Dream-walk. I'll be falling in my dream, the next moment, I'll wake up with a jolt.

The worst was when I dreamt that a cat jumped at my face. I awoke during class to flip my chair and nail my head on the desk behind me. Fun times.

**The Kilted Samurai**

Apparently I found out this year that I talk out loud to myself quite excessively when I'm drunk. Not sure if I should feel silly or insane lol.

**Avatar 720**

I talk to myself all the ti- Yes, I was just getting to that bit... yes I will tell him that you think he's insane... no I won't do it in the patronising voice... look, if you want to tell him, go ahead... -sorry, where was I...

**Misguidance**

I open doors into my own face.

In reality, it's only happened a couple of times in the last few years, but I feel that having it happen more than once (and without the assistance of alcohol) means that it qualifies for 'making me feel silly.'

**Avatar 720**

Ugh, don't get me started on opening doors onto you; I regularly manage to open a door and start stepping through it at the same time, usually leading to a loud collision between the door and my right foot.

**rubiksnoob**

I locked my car keys in my car three times in two days. Not fun.

**Avatar 720**

Even sillier would be if it was a convertable with the top down

"Damn! I've locked my keys in the fething... oh, wait, the top's down..."

**Mordoskul**

Attempting to impress the ladies, I proceeded to fall down some stairs, fall off a chair and nail my head on a desk, and at the finale I opened a door into my face.

Well that is pretty impressive, probally not in the way you wanted though.

**Avatar 720**

You nailed... your head... to a desk...?

One simple question: How?

EDIT: Either that or you mean hit your head on a desk, but i'd still like to know how.

**Mordoskul**

I was leaning back on a chair at a 45 degree angel near a desk, the floor happened to be slippery, so as I leaned, the chair slipped, and mr. forehead introduced himself to mr. desk.

**Battle Brother Lucifer**

On opening doors:
I walk forward before I open the door all the way. Sometimes, my finger slips off the thumb latch and I slam my chest and head on the door.
Being impatient, I continue to push my head and chest against the door until I manage to open it...

**KingCracker**

lmao I do that same exact thing. Except Ive got some weight on me, so when I collide with the screen door or what have you, I usually kindda smash through said door. Yes my yearly repair bill on doors is worryingly high

I also misspell the same couple words often. Mean=mena the=the and lately when starting a sentence I dont let off the shift key fast enough and so the first 2 or 3 letters will be capital

Happens to me, SO often

**Asherian Command**

I push a pull door. I felt like an iduiot that and also when ever I try and start speaking to someone very intelligently I start slipping into an accent. I feel like a dumbass afterwards XD

Fine example of this thread XD.

**KingCracker**

You know there IS a documented medical condition called something like "foreign accent syndrome" or something along those lines. Anywho, people will just suddenly HAVE an accent for no reason.

I do something similar. Similar in the fact that Ill be stupid to embarrass the wife, and talk for an hour or so in some random accent, and then afterwards words will still come out like that on their own

**Mordoskul**

Ha, true.

**Misguidance**

I'm so glad I'm not the only person who has significant difficulty operating doors.

Yeah I searched it up and found it to be an actual syndrome. http://www.wisegeek.com/what-is-foreign-accent-syndrome.htm
Then also this
Happiness Syndrome(HS) is a serious mental disorder that not only affects the victm, but also has an impact on those around him/her. It can last anywhere from a month to a lifetime. Recent studies have shown that allowing the patient to experience happy activities helps to alleviate their symptoms. This also should be coupled with cognitive behavior therapy for better results.

Symptoms
- Inability to think things through

-Acting like a child

-Easily exciteable

-Absurd thoughts of grandeur

- Decreased need for sleep

- More talkative than usual

- Flight of ideas (thoughts racing)

- Distractability

- Increased activity

- Excessive involvement in potentially dangerous activities

Yeah. I feel silly alot. Especially after I start talking to people for hours upon end, and I don't notice it. Also when a girl sits right next to me, I don't feel extremely comfortable sitting next to a girl that looks like a stripper...

**ChiliPowderKeg**

I never feel silly. I AM SILLY. Mostly at school, with using IRL Caps to make things sound funnier/exert my presence, using unharmful innuendos near the *ahem* "dirtier" friends, pretending to be cringing and falling back while near certain objects (ex. lysol tissue container), yelling random things like "POTATO!" when things get too silent, belching whilst in a crowded environment after drinking down a concealed can of Coca-Cola. Did I also mention walking up to random schoolmates and adding into their conversation "Yyyyyyeeeeeeeeeesssss! Now smear it with JELLY!"

Things that make meel feel "silly" in a sense mentioned in this thread are moments when I look how worked up I get about crappy fencing meets and the team's lack of organisation.

**Battle Brother Lucifer**

@ Chili
How old are you? I used to do things like that when I was younger.

**Asherian Command**

Sounded like an 13 year old lol.

**FITZZ**

I'm fairly tall,6'4"...so I constantly knock my head into random things,open kitchen cabinets are the worst.

I've also,over the period of many years,walked through three closed sliding glass patio doors.

It's in me profile

I just act a lot younger because I'm happy that there's nothing to depress me, and I love caffeine.
