Brain glitches

Muise...

Every time I vote, I go completely blank afterwards, and panic that I marked the wrong box. They couldn't make it simpler, with instructions in two languages and big yes and no boxes for me to put an X in, but I'm always convinced I voted against my own opinion as soon as I drop the ballot in the box. It's like pushing a door with a big 'pull' sign on it. (which I NEVER do, and I always get left and right right too. )

Does anyone else go stupid-blank at simple things?

Yes although not about voting but it does happen,maybe its an age thing

I was a bit 'eenie meenie miney mo' with the Seanad ballot paper today .!

Voting is very important , everybody should exercise their right to vote but I'm always afraid I'm missing the vital piece of information .

Today I was very clueless

I thought...I thought I'd already posted a reply??

I think it's similar to that feeling when you can convince yourself you didn't lock your house or your car even though you definitely did.



......didn't I?


Shit.

Nope it was an 'x' that was required today not a tick

Not that simple according to tonights news, people only marking one paper and not the other.

Does anyone else ever hit a bump in the road and momentarily convince themselves that they hit someone or something, despite the fact that there was literally nothing in front of or behind you.

I'm definitely not one of those people...ahem.

I think they should definitely make the voting ballot even simpler for the stupid folk (me).

MAKE SEANAD GO AWAY?
YES__ NO__

MAKE EXTRA COURT TO HELP SOME PEOPLE?
YES__ NO__

I'd prefer if we got a crayon as well and you can put an X, or a tick or you can circle the yes or no options.

Next referendum should be lets make life easier for dumb people.

What about fake ones?

I brought my young kids down with me when I was voting tonight and it's the same 2 people that always man my station. They're a bit officious - local busybodies.

For a laugh, I loudly said to my kids in front of them that they could put the X in whatever box they wanted but really I did it myself behind the screen and they gave me this hilarious, affronted look - as befits FF lickspittles - at my supposed imbecility, no doubt accentuated by me wearing tracksuit bottoms.

My name is URL

I regularly find myself lodged between a wall and a car and unable to jump my way out. The cops sometime show up and shoot me in the face with a shotgun

You've a great grasp of the aul English language anncoates.




I often have to doublecheck my phone to see if I sent a message to the correct person. Not sure I've ever sent it to the wrong person actually, but still continue to check.

I reckon that could have been due to people not knowing what the Court of Appeal one was about.

There was f@ck all reporting done on it, (that I saw of anyway)

I've never voted on anything, ever.

And a pencil and rubber in case I make a mistake and need to start again.

It took me a minute of double checking to see which was which when it came to the Court of Civil Appeal or the Fcuk the Seanad ballot papers.

They didn't make it very very clear.


They should have worded it a bit clearer.

Lickspittle is my favorite recently learned word

I get stage fright when I'm counting change to pay the waiting cashier so my mind goes into shut down like how Terminator's lights go out.

A big pencil with the rubber fixed to it, like the souvenir ones you when some cnut somebody in your family goes on holiday.

I do something similar when I'm ringing someone. I ring, put the phone up to my ear and then as it starts to ring I suddenly wonder am I after ringing the right person and have to look at the phone again to check

That too.

What about having the phone up to your ear, hearing it ring and actually forgetting who you are ringing. That would probably be mental wouldn't it?

i forgot to vote

I often have to return to the house because I'm convinced I've left the iron plugged in or left a window open.

Or check that all the car doors are locked even though I have remote central locking.

Think that's more OCD than a brain glitch though.

I give myself reports when I turn off appliances, and it seems to help me remember that I've done it and saves panic later. A real brain glitch was when I did it in someone else's house.

"I'm now turning off the immersion."
"Eh, good girl yourself."

Ashamed to say I'll be adopting that one.

Actually, writing it on my arm would be a good variant.

it's easier if you pretend your whole house is a spaceship.
As long as you live alone, that is.
