Okay, kids. Let's have a show of hands. Anyone ever facepalm so hard that it hurt...because the reason FOR the palming was just so freakin' stupid? Tell me your horror stories. What hurts so bad?

Ever facepalmed with your steering wheel because you managed to guide yourself right into a major traffic jam that you KNEW was there?
Palm does not equal Steering Wheel in terms of softness.
But no. Never needed to express how stupid someone else's actions are by hitting myself in the face.

Watching some crackpot "pastor" going on and on about how God will send you a FREAKING CHECK FOR WHATEVER DEBT YOU HAVE if you mail in to their church and get your free* packet of Holy Water!

Well I work at an engineering facility as Validation Technician (part tester), essentially like chell in portal, except not fun. I poke stuff to see if brakes 
. Anyhoo there's this one test where we put the parts in -50C temperature to see if weather extremes cause any problems with operation. I went to pull the parts out to test em' (this needs to be done relatively fast so they don't heat up between each testing cycle) and realized I had left my gloves back at my bench. I didn't have enough time to go back and get them so I just did the test (which takes around 1 to 2 minutes) with my bare hands. Holding something that cold for that long actually "burnt." I felt like a complete retard and my hands hurt like hell the rest of the day, but I suffered through it, you know, for science *cough* paycheck *cough*
And that my friends is my biggest facepalm moment ever. My own stupidity was the cause. Except I didn't actually facepalm 'cause my hands.

Your metaphorical facepalm is noted.T0ad 0f Truth said:
Also, I want your job. Teach me in the ways of testing.
I can't read Eternal Nothingness' threads. They're all big and wobbly and I'm not sure what the discussion value is. I try to read it, and then my eyes glaze over, and my attention goes...Soviet Heavy said:

Seriously though the Engineers have the cool jobs. I'm just the push cart, press button, record data for posterity guy. It sounds cool as hell, but it's kinda boring and normal. It is better than some jobs though, and for that I'm thankful
. Maybe I'll even get to save the world like Gordon Freeman some day.
Just don't be all smug and not talk the whole damn time like he did. I wanna hear what's on your mind, boy, or my facepalm will trip me through time and summon Lavos!T0ad 0f Truth said:I do what I must because I can.FalloutJack said:

I actually left a handprint on my own head after a particular facepalm. My niece lives with my wife and myself, while she goes to college. The facepalm came when she said, quite plainly, 'I'm afraid to burn the water.'
I'm aware that my water sucks, but it don't suck THAT bad.

anything karutomaru posted on this site back in ...june i think. thank god that guy was permabanned
I always try to make my face palms hurt so that the physical pain temporarily takes my mind off the pain of seeing/causing failure.
Kinda like slapping someone who's panicking to bring them back to their senses

There was this one ex-biker "pastor" holding a sermon of sorts on "Top 10 misconceptions about religion". Sounds interesting, right? So me and my pal, not knowing any better, decide to give it a go. Two minutes in that "pastor" proceeds to insult every other religion than protestant Christianity and then moves on to insulting all Theologians. That guy had no idea what he was talking about and it was fucking painful...
To clarify, I was a first year student of Religious Studies and my friend a second year Theologian.
And it seems captcha has one of its own: lunatic fridge
Must have been quite the encounter

I just read some youtube comments on a satirical video, and the point of it went over everybody's heads.
Why would I do that to myself? D:

Sounds like the facepalm was a mercy-kill. My religious studies class was much better than this, as anyone called in from the outside to explain the nuiances of religion was more tolerant and less...ew. For the record, I am Catholic, so know us and Protestants to get on like Hatfields and McCoys. Frankly, I don't give a right (or left) damn about it myself, so I'll have to facepalm hard enough for both of us.dangoball said:
OT: So, what does Jack facepalm about?
"Today, Rick Santorum of Pennsylvania-"
BAM! We threw him out! Stop associating that guy with us!
"Our economy-"
POW! You know damn-well it's due to businesses led by greedy bastards who FAILED Economics! Go annex their holdings!
"9/11-"
BOOM! IT'S OVER!
*Insert farting sounds over anyone talking out of their ass about how BLAH product is better than BLAH competitor with a smug attitude that slates them for DEATH, when it is not the case no matter how many arguments you go through on any forum with any person EVER because those arguments are full of shit and go NOWHERE*
Yeah, read that last one as people being asses and stupid all at once and then send me into a coma.
