Tell us silly things about you nobody else knows.

We are all strangers more or less here,so tell us all something that nobody else knows about you.

I will of course go first.

I did not learn how to tie my shoes until I was 13 years old!

My family tried many times from when I was very little and I just could not "get"it.

I just always wore slip on shoes which was very common.

It was very embarrassing because both my younger sisters learned at a very early age.

They even tried to teach me with no luck.

I finally confessed to my maternal Grandfather around Thanksgiving time when he asked me what I wanted for Christmas.

I told him all I wanted was to learn how to tie my shoes so I could wear shoes with laces!

He sat there with me and showed me and explained how to do it.

I know it sounds silly but nobody actually explained it to me they just showed me.

Even today when I lace up and tie my shoes I remember what he taught me 40 plus years ago.

And if per chance you think I am stupid.

I joined Mensa when I was 18!

I am really gay but noone knows, and I like to tease gay ppl but pretend I am str8.

when i was 19 working in a hotel in scotland on a night out

when i had a few and a half drinks

going back to the hotel i had the great idea of riding 2 miles on the bonnet (hood) of the car

in the pee ing rain and i done it stripped down to my boxer shorts

and i only fell of once didnot feel anything of corse because of the drink

untill the next morning when i felt prety rough

When I was growing up we didn't have running water. We had an outhouse in the back yard. My mother and sisters didn't use the outhouse, they used a chamber pot under the bed in the master bedroom. My brother and I took turns emptying the pot. My brother had a bb gun. For some reason he took to taking pot shots at me when I was taking the pot out to be emptied. He thought it was funny watching me run with the pot. One evening I was running up the path to the outhouse, when I tripped and the pot went flying up into the air and the contents landed squarely on my head. My brother said when I looked up there little pieces of toilet paper hanging on my glasses, even out of my nostrils(It was gross), he just laughed and laughed. I never got him back for it, I tried a few times, but he was wary.

I slaughtered my aunt in her.. I mean, I once thought everyone was red-green colour blind like me!!

Oo

Whew, that was close...

It's really amazing how many people think i have nice well kept teeth.

What they really don't know is that they are false.

Thank heavens for internet anonymity! Here goes....

Up until a shamefully late age, I always thought the Sun and Moon were the same thing - that the Moon was the Sun when it's 'fire' had gone out at night!

Also I am completely unable to reverse park my car, even after 17 years of driving. I just don't understand the angles involved to do it properly. I remember trying once and bumping into a car parked behind - smashing it's number plate into matchsticks!. I departed the scene post-haste.

ok, people who are close to me know this, but it's pretty silly so I wanted to post it. I have a sticker/tape phobia. New tape is ok when I need to use it, but I freak out if it gets stuck to me and I can't get it off in one try. If any older tape or sticker touches me (even the non sticky side) I have a panic reaction and I try to control it. For some time afterwards, I can't shake the feeling that it's still on me even when it's been removed.

This is Fun!
Thanks OP for something lighthearted, especially today.

Here goes. I once ate 13 oranges in one day.

great thread idea.

Um, lesse..

I am terrified of being arrogant, although my friends constantly tell me that I am not.
When I meet a person in a social environment, I usually don't talk because I cannot think of anything to say.
Oh, and when I was 18 I got on my bicycle one day butt naked and road through the neighborhood in the middle of the day. Not entirely sure why. lol

I have a soft spot for...

Hmm, let's see. Silly things about me that no one else knows.

When I was about 3, I put on my sisters ballerina dance outfit and danced around on camera for my mom.... That video will never see the light of day and will be destroyed if I ever get my hands on it.

On a different note, I did not learn to tie my shoes until I was about 9. I will not say what the problem was, just that I suddenly don't feel so bad about it taking me so long.

Well, that explains that youtube video I saw the other day.

i'm so bad at operating window blinds, that it verges on window blinds illiteracy and its haunted me for a long time and in social situations, especially classrooms when someone asks someone closer to the window to fix the blinds or put the blinds up or down i get really scared that i'll be implicated and found out.

I proudly wear three tattoos. One on my torso, two on my back, of which one is pretty big. Invisible to the eye as I always have a t-shirt on. Only a few ladies have seen the three of them. Ha.

Good thread idea. S&F.

I joined Mensa when I was 18!

So basically you just wanted to tell everyone that you are in Mensa...and so created this silly thread to do it?


Something silly about me...I like to twist peoples words and motives around.

Well, what's so darn silly about that? What are they of?

reply to post by Ellie Sagan


Hehe, sorry about that. My post did miss something ! I will tell you of one tattoo only. The one on my torso is chinese characters that represent the word Passion. Except that it has been tattooed upside down.

Unintentionally.

Not being Chinese I couldn't tell the difference until I met a Chinese girl that enjoyed "reminding" me of the mistake, day in day out.
