    TMW when you got so wrapped up in what you were doing (a project I got earlier with a turnaround time of today) that you failed to notice your dog needed to go poop, so she pooped inside and is now hiding because she think's she's in trouble, but she's not because it was your fault, not hers. :unsure:

    She did have the good sense to poop in the bathroom, though. :oops:

    This one's for the polyglots:

    TMW you can't spell a word in English to save your life so you use Google Translate and type the word in a different language where you do know how to spell it.

    (The word was silhouette. Spellcheck balked at every turn.)

    That moment when your realized you forgot to mute your speaker during a teleconference just after you told your trusted coworker that you were planning to call in sick tomorrow.

    Wow. How awesome is that! :-D

    WWII aircraft are just delicious. Typical as it may sound, I'm in love with the P-51, but it has to be the P-51B variant, where the line of the canopy slides smoothly into the upper rear portion of the fuselage. It's so much more of a graceful line than the D variant with the bubble canopy.

    WWII planes are beautiful to look at. One could literally write a book discussing the art painted on the planes on both sides of the war.

    TMW you create a really quippy little picture with words for Facebook, post it, wonder why no one is commenting on what is clearly (to you) funny, and then notice that the picture you chose to use features a person who is handicapped and now you look like the world's biggest insensitive douche-bag. :cry:

    TMW you realize you can no longer do 15 pushups like you used to be able to do, and doing 10 reps each with 15ib dumbells is a struggle.

    I'm as skinny as a starved prisoner, and as weak as a leaf! ;___;

    That moment when you read the oversimplified, angst-ridden, vitriol-filled comments to an online news article, and you think "damn, a lot of these people are voting already". :/

    That moment when you realize that one day, one of them will be running your country.

    <pushes nerd glasses up>

    Actually 1,500 years ago, the Greeks were a collection of city-states such as Sparta, Athens, the whole shebang.

    That moment when you just revealed you were a history geek.

    Well, like Caesar's legions, I need to build a bridge, not one over the Rhine mind you, and get over it...

    Ah, but did you built it the way Julius Caesar built it? ;) And are the enemies aware of your plans??

    All because Xerxes was still peeved about Athens' support of the revolt of Iona some 50 years prior...But that is a whole 'nother marathon...(cough...cough...).
