I feel particularly lonely when it’s snowy. Now I know why.

I spent a half an hour scraping the inch of ice off my car door. It was legitimately hard work, and I couldn’t figure out why it wouldn’t open.

It was then that realized that I had not unlocked the motherfucking door.

    Haha. This is something I would do. And then wake up the next day, and do it again.

    I love that picture! Without knowing precisely why, I can say that I would love it just ever so slightly less without the bottle of “Bud Light” in the foreground.

    I am famous for trying to get out of the car without first unbuckling my seatbelt, so I can relate.

    Lawyergay: That’s also a Tanqueray and Tonic on the left, so admire it all the more. The Bud Light is the former BF’s (still a dear friend).

    LA: At least you aren’t a fey gay standing at your car tugging and cursing it. I have had similar experiences at Auto Zone. Once, I pretended to fix something just to get out.

    This may be a continuing series.

    What am I saying: I am a Loon is a continuing series.

    I do so love this photo. Mainly because I get a Pet Shop Boys song in my head and it makes me happy. And I do shit like this ALL the time. Pulling doors marked “push”, etc.

    That’s a great story and a great photo, Htothe.
    Where are you that it’s snowy?

    If this is going to be a running feature, I suggest another tag: School for the Gifted.

    Beautiful Larson cartoon

    But, H. Tothehomo, I have been meaning to ask: How should I pronounce your surname?

    Tulletilsynet: The Midvale Alumni Society. To-the-omo.

    FA: Cincinnati.

    B: That’s me right there. Since I almost cleared off the wrong car today.

    I love this – I would so do this. Except I would have called AAA first and try to figure out what the fuck to say when they showed up (or debate fleeing the scene).

    VP: It’s an ESO Error: Equipment Superior to Operator.

    The first year I lived in Montana (California girl), I was OUT of gas, 30 miles from home. I pulled up to the gas station and the locked gas cap wouldn’t open. Frozen. What to do? I took a lighter and heated the key. Magic.

    I stopped locking car doors during the winter.

    Can others contribute to “I Am A Loon,” and if so, can you define the parameters? Maybe Virus can make it a series? Cuz i do lots of stupid things that you people might as well enjoy.

    @Lysergic I am famous for trying to get out of the car without first unbuckling my seatbelt, so I can relate.

    My trick is trying to turn the car off without putting it in “park.”

    Ha, this is the kind of thing that happens to me regularly (except this, of course, cos where I live it barely freezes). I am also notorious for searching the house frantically for my glasses… while still wearing them. Such a dork!

    All of these things, I do all of these things. I feel much better knowing that all of you lovely people do this too. I even will wash my hair, put conditioner in, not rinse that out, and only realize once I’m dressed and putting the brush to my hair that something is wrong. And then I’m like, Do I really have to get in the shower all over again? Nope. Just wrap that hair up and move on.

    I think I have to share ‘I am a Loon’ with the Wordsmoker community because it seems to apply! Have at it!
