What’s the last thing you’ve done that’s made you ask “Am I stupid?”

I got nothing recent, but here are a few from the past.

I was once reading a magazine and tried to pinch-zoom a photo. I tried multiple times before I understood the depths of my stupidity.

I once took my new car into the dealer about a month after I got it for warranty work because the washer fluid wasn't working anymore. This was after I looked it over and couldn't find the cause, so I assumed it was a body control module or maybe the stalk was bad. I was pushing the stalk forward instead of pulling it backwards. The tech, service writer, and myself had a good laugh about how I had forgotten how to use the damn thing. There is a freaking icon with "pull" on the stalk. I had been using it just fine and then caught the stupid one day.

I once remarked that they should invent vizine, but for your mouth while I had cottonmouth. Before anyone steals my idea, water was invented over 12 billion years ago.

I tried to take photos of hallucinations to show others. Yes, photos, plural.

Before you worry, I am dedicated child-free.

lmao similar to the pinch-zoom thing, I do a lot of digital art normally, but whenever I draw on paper, I reach for ctrl-Z first instead of flipping the pencil over. Probably doesnt help that If I do draw on paper, its in the same spot where I normally put my tablet

I often use an electronic drawing tablet, with a button on the electronic pen configured as "undo." The frequency with which I reflexively press on that bit of a real pen to undo a physical ink-based mistake does not reflect well on me.

I've more than once pulled down from the top on my gameboy, in order to see what time it is
