Just thought that I would create this thread as the home of all things facepalm-worthy I'll start with the quote that inspired to this thread in the first place;
"Nobody ever goes to that restaurant because it's too packed." - Yogi Berra (paraphrasing) About half the stuff he's said is facepalm-worthy: http://www.yogiberra.com/yogi-isms.html
When you are so comfortable that you forget something and it really inconveniences you to do something.
If this is for anything and not just EMC, one I have is the songs in Legend of Zelda. Playing Spirit Tracks and just learned a song that is two notes. I was all happy because that meant "Oh hey that's simple...but a two note song?" Link played back this nice long multi-harmony song.
Story worthy of it: A few minutes ago, I was telling my brother: These forums are so inactive now while looking at the EMC forums, and he asked "What forums" while staring right at my computer.
This is a text conversation I had with a friend: Him: Guess where I am. Me: Home. Him: No. Me: Warming center? Him: What's a Warning Center? Me: I give up. Him: Home. See? Two facepalm moments.
When he asked what a Warming Center was, I would have said YOUR MOM. I hate when people say Guess Where I am! and they're not anywhere interesting.
When people put so much effort and money into a sugercane farm when they grow it on sand! Passage from the Wiki: It is often mistaken that Sugar Cane grows faster on sand.
I'd probably guess that's because most of the time I find sugarcane for some reason, it's growing in a desert. OR Somehow magically next to a block of ice.
Another thing I don't understand is why they bother doing it on a server... The TPI could change the growth rate and they might grow whilst your offline anyway FINAL STATEMENT: Growing Sugar Cane on sand even if it did actually grow faster is pointless!
Just thought of one. I once helped this person who wanted to build a hotel. I spent my time helping them by holding their stuff, helped them build the thing, decorated it etc. TWO DAYS LATER: Person: Who would like to help me make a Spleef arena!? WE NEED SPLEEF! Me: Is that going next to the Hotel? Person: Pandas, sad news....the Hotel burned down today. So I and others helped dig out the arena and build it. *Logs on two days later* Person: Anyone want to help me build a beach? I need lots and lots of sand. Me: Uh...you can get sand in the wild. Did you decide to build a beach around your Spleef arena? Person: Oh no, I burned that down today and collected the insurance money to build my beach.
This isn't really face palm, but just XD Oh, and while I was uploading this, the code I had to write: Slender man is slender. Wonderful.
