Derp Moments

    In this thread, we share embarrassing examples of when we went full derp.

    Here's one (although, trust me, I have plenty more) to get us started:

    Last year, I bought a portable air conditioning unit for my apartment.

    Instead of reading the manual all the way through, I just assumed that turning it "up" would mean "more coldness". I mean, when you want to adjust an electric fan so that it blows air more intensely, you turn it up. You also do the same with heaters, of course, and so on.

    So, naturally, I dialed it all the way to the highest numerical setting.

    I slept that evening on the floor next to it, trying to salvage what little coolness I could get, but it just felt so ineffective.

    It took me an embarrassingly long time to figure out that I was turning the temperature up, not X coldness factor.

    Lmfao... Yeah, you turn the temperature DOWN (lower means colder on a thermestate), not up... When its 90 degrees out thats hot... When its 60 thats colder. Same goes for air conditioning.

    Ive many times been stoned and been looking for something then moments later realize its in my hand. I'm sure thay qualifies for a derp moment. I'll think of something better later but right now thats all I got.

    How does an indoor air conditioner even work don't they like radiate waste heat out the back hence why we dangle them out of windows and shit?

    Anyway, I am a perfect infallible being who never makes mistakes so this thread isn't for me.

    Well, it's kinda more "quasi-portable."

    It does have a component that has to be placed inside a window, but it takes just a couple minutes to either remove it or to put it up, so you can tuck it away in a closet during the Winter, or take it with you to another residence for whatever reason, all with relative ease.

    One I make at least once a week is looking for my glasses when they are sitting pushed back on the top of my head...even to the point of asking people "have you seen my glasses"...and they look at me with that "you dumbass" look and say, they are on your head.

    Really? All 3 of my window air conditioners that don't have the digital readout function as 0-9 with 9 being the coldest setting.

    You cut your balls off on purpose though. The most notorious fuck up of yours that comes to mind is when you got the highlighter stuck in your ass.

    Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez comparing GOP to Dwight Schrute. That honestly made me laugh and also made me an additional follower toward her 4.2 million people on twitter. Sheโ€™s kinda cute. Reminds of Lauren with the exception of her split ends. Well they both have split ends. Both fukable though. I think I said too much...๐Ÿง
