Friend Sends Me Pic Of His New Truck, My Girlfriend Wanted To Know Why It Had A Little Waffle House In The Back
But doing something terribly stupid doesn't make the person themselves stupid. Bright folks constantly forget to put on their seatbelt, cross the street without looking both ways, or hit reply-all when they really meant to reply to one person. Why? According to Heather Butler, an assistant professor of psychology at California State University, it's because smart people aren't all that smart. In an article for Scientific American, Butler talks about the subject of why smart people behave foolishly by differentiating between intelligence and critical-thinking skills. She suggests that intelligence, which is often measured by IQ test scores, is largely unrelated to critical thinking, "a collection of cognitive skills that allow us to think rationally in a goal-oriented fashion and a disposition to use those skills when appropriate."
RELATED:
Butler isn't the only one who believes this. University of Waterloo psychologist, Igor Grossmann, and his colleagues also argue that most intelligence tests fail to represent our real-world decision-making and ability to interact with others.

My Girlfriend Moved Into Her Dorm Yesterday And Was Having Trouble Setting Up The Apple TV I Bought Her...
And she's in college for brain and behavioral neuroscience
Another reason behind this issue could be arrogance. Smart people tend to think they are smarter (and better) than everyone. Professor Andre Spicer refers to this as the self-serving bias: "Not everyone can be above average — but we can all have the illusion that we are... We collect all the information we can find to prove ourselves right and ignore any information that proves us wrong. We feel good, but we overlook crucial facts. As a result, the smartest people ignore the intelligence of others so they make themselves feel smarter." Because of this, people might rationalize their mistakes to themselves, elevating their abilities and luck, and believe that they're somehow protected from misfortunes.

Here's How My GF Heats Up A Tortilla

Lea Springstead 6 years ago
This works but you have to have the heat on really low and flip the tortilla quickly, watching it very carefully.
Grace Brown 6 years ago
Your suppose to keep it moving, turning it as it heats up. You don't even need the whole burner, just the corner. Granted there are other better options to heat tortillas, if you pick this way, at least do it right.
Michelle 6 years ago
Grace, tell us how to do it instead as I only ever used a pan & I don't use toxic microwaves. Thanks

My husband's family heats up tortillas the same way. I fry it in butter in a pan, and they are appalled.

They don't like butter, maybe? That's ok, to each their own. Sounds like maybe they love you.

seriously that was the only way when I was a kid...I was much better at it since my tortilla didn't get stuck.
Richard Portman 6 years ago
Out here in the hinterlands, they are still in use. Safety tip- always keep the area clean and don't leave anything sitting there. When you are done cooking, double check the burners are off. If you are too fukked up for whatever reason, it is better to go to bed hungry, than cause a problem for tomorrow.

Does she warm up your bathtub with her hair drier too? I hope the sex is hot.
Tecolote 6 years ago
Well, to be kind of fair...? We do it that way here in New Mexico too occasionally, but only on gas stoves. Sometimes we don't bother with a pan or comal, we just light the match and throw it on the stove. Obviously this wont work on an electric stove (throw a pan on the stove first)... but it could just be habit? (Also as a PSA: if you are microwaving your tortillas you aren't getting them at their best, cook them on the stove.)
Michelle 6 years ago
Tecolote - microwaves are toxic, it's not just due to the taste of the food, although that's certainly one reason : )

Actually, on a gas stove, this is the common way to warm up a tortilla, but on an electric stove it's a mistake.

Louise Brigance 6 years ago
That could work fine, except you gotta turn the burner on high and just throw the tortilla on for a few seconds and turn it. Don't always need a gas stove.
Justgail Jones 6 years ago
Whew, at least I didn’t try that. Did you know a marshmallow will melt and catch on fire if put on a fork and roasted over an electric burner?
Alejandro Suarez 6 years ago
A friend of mine do the same. We ask her to warm up the water from the flask. It was a plastic one, she put it over the hob like this.
Beth Arriaga 6 years ago
Maybe like my husband, she grew up with only gas stoves - which are perfect for heating tortillas! People don't handle electric stoves well when all they know is gas. Trust me
Jennifer Plume 6 years ago
It's really common to do in the south but it has to be low heat and you have to be crazy fast.
Kevin Camp 6 years ago
That is the correct way to heat a corn tortilla, but not the flour ones.
Valerie Linares 6 years ago (edited)
As long as you keep an eye on it so it doesn't burn, and you make sure the tortilla is dry before placing it on the burner, this wouldn't happen. This tortilla must have been damp before it was placed on the burner.

Tyler Duffy, shut the hell up. Gender has NOTHING to do with it. If all of those women were men, they would still be just as stupid. Just as many men can be incredibly dumb as well. Women are individual human beings too, we’re not a monolith.

I have had IQ tests that gave high scores. I also have ADD, which I think everyone has in varying degrees, with varying control possibilities. It was never a problem because I refused to be diverted from my tasks. I have no problem ignoring a ringing phone in my pocket. It's possible to train yourself. I was also middle-aged when I realized that when a person comes to you for advice on a problem he can't solve, he really wants you to ask questions so he can figure out what the problem is himself. Never taught that. And there are always connotations. It takes a lot of practice to get good at finding the ones that matter and don't expect to get good at it easily. I don't put electrical devices in closed areas if they can go on. Unless specifically designed for it. I turn off the water mains if I leave the house for extended periods. Think about what can go wrong - are you in that category? It can be taught . It can be formalized. But expect a lot of frustration.

I can see the humour in most of these stories. I dont like the inudendo that women are more prone to mistakes than men. I agree that both men and women of all ages make mistakes which are worthy of a laugh but the rude remarks rob us all of the potential humour. Knowledge is specific to what you have learnt directly or by association and experience as we all know is priceless. Let us keep the funny stories coming and keep the gender wars out of it as it spoils the recall moments.

Meh. Many of these are submitted by guys who think their specialist knowledge is universal and that their girlfriends or wives should have been born with that knowledge. Many tech nerds think tech things are obvious. They aren’t. I’d like to see some more submissions of tech dudes failing in the kitchen, where they think they don’t need to know things because “that’s for women”... or where they’re just lazy as s**t in complying with a request, just to stop being asked to do things they don’t want to do.

Dearest author, You have provided a lovely array of ANECDOTES ("a short amusing or interesting story about a real incident or person") but the context of your introduction suggests that you should have referred to humor being the best ANTIDOTE ("a medicine taken or given to counteract a particular poison") for a relationship. Hopefully, your significant other will understand that you are merely human, like the rest of us, and not use this as a chance to publicly shame you to make themselves feel superior.
