Always wondered why we didn't have one of these... Anyways, share with us any sort of moments you've heard of or experienced/seen that deserved a facepalm. Double/triple/quadruple-worthy facepalm moments earn bonus points  . To start off.... Freshmen year, this girl got lightly hit in the front by a small ball. Her reaction? She looked behind her to see who threw the ball. |

My car hitting a deer.
My leg getting bit by a pitbull.
Cutting my other leg with a chainsaw.
Forgetting keys at home and then locking the door.

This just happened this past Friday. Left work on time, then the second I walk in the door my phone starts ringing. I have to back into work 'cause someone forgot there was an IV order on a new admission (I make all the IVs at my pharmacy). Okay, you know, everyone makes mistakes and it wasn't difficult to make, so I wasn't really that upset. I just made sure to ask her if that was the only admit with an IV on it. Sure replied in the affirmative.
HOWEVER, right as I get done making that she brings me an order for a super time-intensive IV. I look down at the timestamp from the fax and it read 4:16PM, yet it was already 8PM. Four hours late!? Come on! Not on was that a "facepalm moment," that was an "attempted murder moment."

Welcome back to California, the land of 110 degrees (at least today).
Someone said this insightful word of advice at our retreat. Was totally serious too.
"I think poverty is directly related to crime."

Oh dear lord I have too many of these to count.
At the moment the most common one is related to my job in a call centre.
Me "hello you're through to Brand x insurance. Can I take a policy number please?"
customer: "sure it's 12345678."
me: "I can't find you on the system, let me check the number (reads back number)"
customer: "yeah that's it"
me: "ok well it's an unusual number for Brand x so I was just checking. What's your name?"
customer: "ok it's mr xxxx"
me: "ok so that's mr xxxx with brand x insurance. Nope I can't find you."
customer "that's weird"
me: "are you sure you're with brand x insurance?"
customer: "of course! I'm not an idiot!"
me: "ok sorry, let me check everything again... (checks) and your definitely with brand x insurance"
customer: "definitely. Oh wait, did you say brand x? Well it says on the paperwork brand y but I'm sure it's you guys"
*facepalm*
and this is fairly common. At least once or twice a day.

On the True Blood Blu-Rays (season 2) the first disc lists episodes 1, 2, 3, and 4. However, when you select episode three or four a message pops up that reads "Insert Disc 2". *facepalm*

Yeah I work in a call centre. Until November 19th at least.
Wish it had been me. Probably would have made my day more interesting.
