HOW OFTEN ARE YOU A CHUMP?

I'm asking because, at present, I appear to be a dazzling chump about once every three weeks. I fall for everything! I feel like--well. It doesn't matter. What is the chumpiest thing you've ever done? I need company.

Haha, Brianna! Think of me and the ax murderer and $23,000 unaccounted for! I know you don't like me, so I got my just deserts, right? And I bet I was far chumpier than you, too! Feel better?

Yesterday, I was wearing platform flip-flop-type shoes, and as I was strolling along, my foot landed wrong...and down I went. It is really hard to get up wearing those kinds of shoes, too. But the Actual Chumpy part was, the same exact thing happened to me LAST time I wore those stupid shoes.

Another lovely Chump Moment: A couple of months ago, I was chatting with my dad about people who get married and divorced a bunch of times. I brought up that my sister had been married briefly a while back...a tidbit that my dad was not privy to. OOOPS!

No, I don't feel better because something bad happens to somebody. I did answer your thread about the weird guy you'd been seeing and I was sympathetic about it. Bad things happening to most people just really sucks. Poor Clodfobble--she's sitting in the swealtering dark eating sweaty cheese! I feel bad for her, too!

Hee, hee--sweaty Hee, hee!

Speaking of which, welcome back.

When I worked for a consulting company, my supervisor had a very developed sense of humor. He told me (and apparently other newbies) that if the client we were working at had a holiday and our home office didn't have that holiday, we had to report to the office for in-house training.

He told me he was joking when he saw the expression on my face. I later heard he forgot to tell one guy he was joking until the day before an actual holiday, when the guy was actually going to report in.

Frequently been pooped upon by people I've tried to help. It's never pleasant but I try to rationalize, it's they're being a dick rather than me being a chump.
Sometimes I almost succeed.

Clod posted in an entirely different thread, Brianna referenced it.

You gotta catch up, dude.
