IcePrincessKRS Posted October 21, 2004 Share Posted October 21, 2004 But at least I got a good laugh out of it.... "Pregnancy brain" struck me hard today! ("Pregnancy Brain" -- The condition pregnant women invariably come down with which lowers their IQs to about half what it normally would be.) I thought I'd been pretty good about not being TOTALLY stupid but today really took the cake. I had to take our truck into the shop to have them take a look at a minor leak. They had to check the mileage and I was going to show them where the leak was. Well, I NEVER pop the hood, I mean, I'm a girl and Matthew takes care of all that stuff. I couldn't find the lever to pop the hood, so I took a step back and the mechanic (of course) imediately saw where it was (normally I would have found it right off the bat, I'm not totally car-ignorant). Ok, easy enough to laugh off, right? I just laughed a little and said "Can you tell I never do this stuff? My husband takes care of it all!" The guy just laughed. We went back inside and I took a seat to wait. A few minutes later he approaches me and informs me that the part we need fixed isn't one of the trucks original parts, it was added later (and additional cooler thingy for hauling trailers) and recommended we just have it removed since we don't need it (we bought the truck used from its original owner so this was news to me, its a newer model so its still under warantee). I needed to call Matt and see what he wanted to do about it before I told him to go ahead and take the part out. I couldn't find my cell phone (it was buried in the botton of my purse as it turns out, battery almost dead) so I asked if I could use their phone. The guy says sure and I follow him to the desk... Then he makes the HUGE mistake of actually asking me my phone number. Darned if I can remember! I COMPLETELY forgot my phone number!!! We've had it for over a year (since we moved into this house) and I couldn't remember for the life of me. I was SO embarassed. lol He looked it up on the computer and read it off and asked if that was it, I smiled and said "Yes!!! Gosh, I am so braindead today, I can't believe I couldn't remember..." He just smiled and dialed... talked to Matt, got everything fixed and taken care of without any further problems. But can you believe that!? I felt soooo stupid. That was the kind of thing that spreads those evil women/mechanics stories. At least I can look back and laugh at it... I told Matthew and he laughed at me, too. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theculturewarrior Posted October 21, 2004 Share Posted October 21, 2004 You sound like a nice pregnant person. I have a story I could tell about a pregnant woman that still makes me Okay, since nobody's asking, I'll go ahead and tell it... Libraria and Library mean two different things in their respective languages. Libraria means bookstore. Library in Spanish is biblioteca. Well...needless to say, we get a lot of pholks asking to buy books here at the library. One day, we got a pregnant patron asking to buy a book, and I told her, "I'm sorry, we don't sell books here at the library. Here we just loan books out." So she said, "I know, but everybody was telling me that you could buy the book at the Library." So then I made my big mistake. I tried to teach her something. I said, "Well, actually, library and libraria mean two different things, and a lot of people get confused. Library in Spanish would be 'biblioteca.' Here we have a policy of only loaning books. I think you need the bookstore." Well, that set her off. She approached my coworker and said, "Would you help me, because I don't think this guy wants to help me." Then she turned to me and said, "I don't even know why you're working here." So I said, "I'm sorry ma'am" and then I went to my office. Well, when I came out, she was gone. And I asked my coworker, "so what's the story?" She said, "bookstore." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest motherhen Posted October 22, 2004 Share Posted October 22, 2004 Wait until you have a family. People look at you really strangely when you're trying to call your child off the playground etc, and you shout out six consective names - both male and female. At least I know that if go through the list they'll at least hear their own name and know that i am calling to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
