The Ditsy Effect:
Once you have been ditsy in front of a person, every time you see that person again you will be ditsy.
It's true. It's inescapable.
A working example:
Take the much-MUCH-younger-than-me-but-quite-handsome trainer at the gym. So far, when he is around I have lost my keys, tripped over, left my drink bottle at one of the machines (and later have to retrieve it from his desk) dropped a really heavy weight (which made a v. loud, attention-grabbing bang) and managed to drop my towel while running on a treadmill, which made me trip and almost bang my head on the machine. The worst thing is, I think he thinks I like him, but I don't, really, despite my ditsiness making me look nervous. It's just the Ditsy Effect.Labels: my weird theories |
Now I've just taken to ignoring him, which is just what I would have done as a teenager. Sigh.
