When the pool guys put a new liner in our inground pool this spring they as much said, "Only an idiot would plant a willow tree 40 feet from a pool because the roots will grow right into it and destroy your pool." Being an Idiot, I had to agree, and decided I'd have the tree taken out this fall. So I called several services and the best price I got was $300. I told the wife that was ridiculous for a tree that wouldn't take but a hour or two to cut down, and that I'd borrow a chain saw and do it myself. She said, "Only an Idiot would try to cut down a tree at your age." Being an Idiot, I borrowed the saw and cut the damned tree down. While I was cutting off the last branch, it turned and smacked me upside the head, knocking me down. No damage done, so after I commented on that tree's ancestry, I started piling the branches in one corner of the yard I use for shrubs, leaves, etc. About an hour into this I decided to take a break and reached up to take off my glasses to wipe off the sweat, only to find my glasses weren't there. Apparently, the branch knocked them off and I didn't notice. I couldn't find them near the tree, so I figured they got caught up in one of the branches. Two hours later, after I had moved all the branches off one pile, and then put them back, I gave up. It was the proverbial needle in a haystack. So, to save $300, I cut down a tree, busted my ass, hurt my back (which I broke in a car accident and have a herniated disc) and ended up paying $420 for a new pair of glasses. I AM an Idiot. I sometimes doubt it. But this weekend confirmed - again - that I'm in the right clan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

Last weekend, our little family went out to buy my 7 month old boy his Christmas presents at Toys R Us (big UK toy store franchise). After spending 3 hours in there!!!! (note I hate shopping) we did manage to choose some toys (OK fair enough I was playing on the scalextric for 1 of those hours!!!). Just as we were leaving I saw they were selling Call of Duty - Black Ops for £34.89... I was tempted to buy it, but with a "PC World" just round the corner, I thought I would be able to get it cheaper. So off we trot to get COD - BO, but it turns out that they have sold out!!! (Remember I hate shopping!!!) Grrrrr.. So while pissed off and still in there I did some impulse buying, and bought the Iphone 4 TomTom Car Kit for £99... We then went around all the other shops (8 in total) to look for BO, but they were all sold out. Eventually we went back to Toy R Us and bought the game. Exhausted we decided to get a McDonalds costing £14, and went home. Excited but exhausted I put the Call of Duty disc in, but nothing happened. Maybe my autorun isn't working!!! So I used the command line to run it. Still nothing.... I tried it in my wife's laptop, nothing again. I then looked closely at the underside of the DVD to find that it's blanks and nothing has ever been written to it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So in the end I spent 4.5 hours shopping, spending ages choosing presents for my son, who in years to come will never remember them (or will chew them to death in the meantime), bought an Iphone TomTom car kit, I will rarely use.... have an expensive COD - BO coffee coster, and eventually bought BO from Steam which cost £39.99 and took 4 hours to download. Even better, I phoned up Toys R Us who are only willing to swap out the COD - BO with a tried and tested DVD, rather than giving me my money back. Cavey... What an Idiot.
