• Screwup
  by: Chris Choi
  
  For some odd reason there are many simple basic things we all screw up time to time. I mean, if you really think about it, there's no reason you should mess it up....all of you are smart individuals, socially apt, and stable people...but lets face it...we have our stupid moments. Well here are a few I think we all screw up all the time.
  
  Filling in your name
  For some reason, this very basic mundane task when you fill out a form, easily gets messed up. How often do you accidently put your last name in the first name slot and vice versa. Or insert your zip code on the wrong line. Or write "YES" in the box asking for your sex. Ok...maybe not the last one...for most of you at least.
  
  Saving your Word documents
  You remember clearly that stormy night in high school when you wrote your 15 page report on "Catcher in the Rye" on your wonderful state of the art PC when..."CRASH" your computer spits out the BSOD (blue screen of death) and everything is frozen. And sadly, you lose a good portion of your report that you have to rewrite and KNOW it won't be the same. It's then you vow to always save your work every 10 minutes. But do you learn? of course not...for some reason, you always screw up and still forget to save your file...leaving it named "Document 1" and hence shooting yourself in the foot again.
  
  Pick up lines
  When it comes to a girl I like, I can NEVER come out with the right words. I ALWAYS sound like an idiot. Something as basic as "hey....you and I get along pretty well, I would like to see you again" would be simple, but it really comes out like "hi...you and i are like really connected together. i'm not a dork or anything, and i'm not a loser. i'm also disease free. want to hang out again dude? i have nintendo." and bam...you're a loser.
  
  Your fly
  Just like gravity, what comes up, sometimes is down.
  
  Leaving a phone message
  All you have to do is leave your name, message, and phone number. But nooo...it becomes this long oration with a million "uhs" and weird awkward sayings. "hey....its me....chris...you know, your friend...Chris Choi. uh....yeah. 8 oclock. thats the time we should meet. actually, is 8 ok? so...lets meet at uh....actually, i'll call you again...but if you get this before, call me at 917-83...[BEEP]" and you're cut off.

  
  

  xanga spelling errors
  it sukks wen yoo right a purfectly goood zanga entree to onlee find all deese sppeling erors affter yoo hit "submitt".  end then yoo haf to go bak and fix dem all.

  
  

  Putting on your shirt
  You're not a moron...but sometimes putting on a t-shirt is a tough task.  every once in a while the little tag thing that all humanity depends on to orientate their shirt the right way goes awry and there you are, wearing a perfectly good shirt backwards, or worse yet, inside out.  good job kriss kross, you can't do something as simple as that.

  
  

  Wet paint
  you walk down the street...and there it is...a wet paint sign.  and for some stupid reason, instead of taking their word for it, you have to go and touch it to really see if it is wet paint.  i dunno why, but there's always someone that screws that up.  its like deer running toward an oncoming car.  why?  wHY?

  
  

  Screw on caps
  Nothing is more screwed up than screw on caps.  for some reason, a simple twist of the wrist becomes difficult and you can't get the darn cap to screw on correctly.  instead, its all mismatched and you have lopsided cap where its partially open on one side and you're all frustrated cause its not fitting nicely.

  
  

  PMS
  this is mostly for guys....despite experiencing the worst thing ever from a previous experience, of all the things you can say when your gal pal is acting all edgy, you HAVE to propose that its PMS...which ensues an instant 'suicide by girl'.  i mean, you could try to be understanding, or you can try to cheer them up, or just listen....but NOOO, you have to choose the worst possible lane....PMS.  and yeah, for some reason, guys always mess that up.
