    nope

    I'm going to have to disagree with you on that one, I was only referring to one other person which as i recall make's it "other's", if i was referring to more than one person then it would be others'

    But the reply was intended as "before you question the intelligence of other people", so it's plural
    couldn't fit it in their reply as singular form. "before you question the intelligence of other's" makes zero sense

    I think i'm coming close to being in trouble here so i best leave it there :)

    I read here or was told by someone that their mother kept forgetting if she had plugged out the iron so she started singing a particular song every time she plugged it out. That way, though she didn't remember unplugging the iron, she remembered singing the song!

    Is that the kind of thing you're talking about OP?

    :D

    I have to admit I need to do the same sometimes - saying "right, I've locked the car", or "I am closing the front door right now" - saves the later "did I or didn't I?" :o

    you should have explained it easier for us of an average IQ OP, it would have been a good thread otherwise :)

    That's useful though. Mere mortal runs down in the dead of night in their boxers to check, you sleep easy. You win that round of the game of life.

    I've learned my lesson. If I could re-write, I'd say, "U Genius! y??"

    Haha, actual idiots.

    I'll spell it out so: things that aren't really genius, but make you feel really clever when you do them anyway.

    Note to self: never presume intelligence when posting in AH again...

    Inspired by watching Ace Ventura when I was younger I taught myself to be able to raise each of my eyebrows individually. I am therefore a genius contortionist. :cool:

    I have add, therefore I lose everything, forget where I've put things all the time.
    So I have a very strict "a place for everything, and everything in it's place" policy that I have trained myself into abiding.
    Everyone thinks I'm anal, but it's actually my geniusness in all it's glory.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,057 ✭✭✭leggo


    Mere mortal: lost, confused, angry.

    You, a genius: organised, efficient, calm.

    You win! Unless Mere Mortal decides to start stealing or hiding stuff on you. Then they win.

    I have a habit of pushing my glasses up on my head, and patting my head to check if they're there when I'm looking for them.

    Now instead of groping my head if I'm in a meeting (looks pretty stupid if they aren't there), I just pretend I'm brushing a hair behind my ear and surreptitiously check.

    So I look slightly less stupid.

    Relax lads, it's AH. I'm not seriously claiming to have re-invented the wheel here. Ya might wanna read into tone before you get smart yourselves ;).

    It's very simple. Mere mortal thinks:

    "Oh wait, I've lost my phone! No! Noooo!"

    And search frantically before saying, "Wait, it's in my hand! How silly!"

    I, a genius, think: "Wait, I've lost my phone! Wait, is it in my hand? Yes, yes it is." Therefore bypassing the panic stage.

    a checklist

    with one item

    Genius!
