Have you ever made an idiot of yourself?

[Treeglow Flicker 13,034]

Back in my teens, when I was still working as an apprentice electrician. I was given the task of fitting up some office ceiling lights in a building that was being completely renovated. There were carpenters, decorators and builders all working on different parts throughout the building. Everything was pretty much coming to an end and being finished off. These were the things I was fitting for reference:

Spoiler

I had several large rooms to do. A lot of climbing up and down a step ladder, grabbing another fitting each time and slowly making my way from ceiling tile to ceiling tile. Anyway, while fitting one of the lights, it suddenly came loose and smacked me on the head as I was descending the step ladder. Didn't really hurt, but when I gathered my bearings, I noticed there was one of the painter and decorators looking at me through the office window laughing his head off.

To add to it all. He was deaf and communicated through sign language. So during lunch I had the joy of watching him sign language to the other workers what he saw. With his colleague translating for everyone. That made me feel pretty stupid.

I have too many “Doh!” moments to even remember.

I have a habit of either showing how smart I really am or showing just how dumb I can be. So, yes I have, countless times.

Oh yes, many times. For instance, the time I nearly nuked a customer's store because I forgot to take a fresh backup before starting a reinstall process. I had to eat crow on that one. That suuuuuuuuuuuuucked.

I consider myself a consistent idiot, so any specific moments are lost in the mix.

I don't think that there's a single person on this planet that hasn't made an idiot of themselves. I can't think of one specific example that I'd like to share, as there are too many instances to pick from...

Banning Luna for a thousand years or so, may have been a little cruel 💔 Does that make me an idiot?

Of course not. You knew what you had to do. And there wasn't really another option. You made the right choice. Besides, she did forgive you in the end right? 

Also the dumbest thing I've ever done, is probably trying to fight a timber wolf before I had any combat training. That's how Echo and I met.

In the past when I fought with some employees of a super because the price was wrong, there were situations that could be dealt just by talking but I was violent for a misunderstanding and people watching me, of course I feel now embarrased and I apologized on the next day but yeah I was making a idiot of myself

Sorry forum for OT of the thread, but this needs to be correctly answered.

Actually, she's quite happy to have been trolled by me. 

I know what's best in the end, believe me, I know!
