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."

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.

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.

I Swallowed Tweezers
My boyfriend came to the hospital to meet me before surgery and I asked 'did you say you were here for the girl that swallowed the tweezers?' he said 'of course! When am I ever going to be able to use that line again?!?'
My then 58yo wife broke 2 bones in her foot one evening so I took her to hospital & they kept her in overnight. The only bed available was in the post natal ward - which enabled me to ring the hospital the next morning & ask to speak to the 58yo in the post-natal ward. The switchboard operator laughed & told me my wife was now widely known by staff despite being there for less than 24 hours
For everyone saying this is fake- I watched a medical show (not like House or Greys Anatomy, a show about weird medical cases) about a girl who mostly swallowed a fork. It got stuck. There's a good chance she was bulimic. If they lose the majority of sensitivity from repeated purging people will sometimes use other things to get farther down their throat to trigger the gag reflex. So, there's always a chance it's fake- but it's not that unlikely. (Basically they get stuck because they're putting the object back there to trigger the reflex but when they DO trigger it things contract and then they lose their grip on the object and then there's not much they can do.)
This was from a subreddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/funny/comments/3xwgbw/i_swallowed_a_tweezers_my_boyfriend_came_to_the/ . FWIW, the patient’s explanation was as follow: “Ok. I was trying to get something that got stuck in my tonsil out with them. It got a little slimy and they slipped so then I coughed thinking I could cough them up. Just caused more siliva and down they went. I WAS terrified. And I felt like a huge Ace at the ER:( All went well though. They did endoscopic surgery. Took about 2 hours. Just a sore throat and a sore body. I guess they told my BF that they had a hard time getting it out. Lesson learned!”

So tonsil stones...are gross. And there are a ton of videos and pictures of amateur dentists out there using all kinds of implements, from "pore cleaning" tools, to tooth picks, to nail files, to tweezers in order to dislodge the stones. I can absolutely see someone accidentally swallowing one of those "tools" on accident. As far as the x-ray, it looks like a legitimate x-ray if a swallowed foreign object.
Tonsil stones? The infected pustules on the tonsils? Maybe because my tonsils were taken out when I was so young, I’ve never heard of any such thing.

You can manipulate x-rays by laying an object under or over the thing you’re x-raying. I dated a Rad Tech when I was younger, and he told me the story about the x-ray of a penis with a broken chicken bone under it, which I believe is a common prank in Rad Tech X-ray classes.
I've seen swallowed everything including batteries. The worst was an open safety pin up a penis. Don't even get me started about the 20-30 year old bag of cocaine.
Maybe pulling out tonsil stones and slipped and down they go? Had a thorn in her tongue and tripped on the stairs accidentally swallowing?
Until this day, I had never heard of tonsil stones. https://www.reddit.com/r/funny/comments/3xwgbw/i_swallowed_a_tweezers_my_boyfriend_came_to_the/
I believe it is an arrow the xray tech uses to point out a fracture...
That person is tiny. The rib cage width is barely 3 times the length of the tweezers.
Maybe they're in the stomach at this point. Although I can't see how they'd get that far and not do serious damage.

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.
Just don't underestimate the gender model role. I taught my oldest daughter how to change the plugs and the muffler in her car, and what all the parts were there for. Not your usual woman.

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.
Why would you marry or date someone dumb? For me it's an insta turn off, I'll leave if my partner is stupid.

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.
