You Might be an Aspie if...

Post Reply New Topic

You might be an Aspie if the first time you watched Lord of the Rings in the theater, you mentally rolled stats for each encounter using the AD&D 2nd Ed. rules.

Except that I don't think they'd implemented Feats by then (IIRC, that came in D&D 3.0), and Legolas really needed some Feats to pull off some of his stunts, especially surfing down the stairs on a shield while shooting his bow, and that thing he did with the oliphaunt...

We'll ignore those as they weren't entirely canon. Still awesome though.

What is the basis of it not being ok? I assume three potential reasons could be odor, wrinkly appearance, or social expectation of variety from day to day.

Assuming the person has not done significant physical exertion and is well groomed with deoderant and such, a few squirts of febreeze, cologne and/or wrinkle release spray will allow the first two items to not be an issue for 2-3 days wear.

(If I was a hippy liberal, I could also quote the enviromental impact of washing clothing after every use.)

As far as social expectation to wear different clothes each day, what if I have several identical items and wear the same "outfit" as a sort of "uniform" for days or weeks at a time, even if the actual items are washed daily? Is this ok? Not trying to be a jerk, just curious.

I never thought of that but it is very true. My main struggle is to find a place to hide from the workers so they don't keep asking "Can I help you find something?"

4096 has a beautiful feel to it. I realized that it falls within the symetry of the computer bit system.

Continuously halfed you get:
4096
2048
1024
512
256
128
64
32
16
8
4
2

Going back up via squares (exponentially) you get:
2
4
16
256
65536

Which is 16*4096
or 8*8192

I have no point. It just seems pretty.

The label on the plastic container of deoderant says it provides 24 hour protection.

Aren't most of us OK the first 24 hours?

What is needed is 24-48 hour protection.

Wow, my main problem doing that is avoiding other customers. They always seem to think I work there... Hehe, it might have helped that the place I formerly worked at had uniforms that looked kind of professional. I went to the bookstore to relax after work while waiting for my ride home.

You might be an Aspie if you ignore your wife(or husband if you prefer) offering to do you sexual favors to read more 'You Might Be An Aspie if.."

Long thread and don't know if this is original, but if you thought the Star Wars prequels sucked big time, you just might be an aspie,

If you go to Wendy's (because it's Monday, and Mondays you go to Wendy's), order the chicken combo (because that's what you order when you go to Wendy's on Mondays), sit in your usual spot by the window, and notice that the entrance (which is next to the window you're sitting by), shows the following:

Dining Room Hours

Monday-Thursday
10:00am-10:00pm

Friday-Sunday
10:00am-10:00pm

And you wonder why they chose to split it up, despite the fact that it's showing the exact same times. Wouldn't it have been easier, simpler, and more efficient to just say "Sunday-Saturday, 10:00am-10:00pm," or even just "10:00am-10:00pm"?

If your mothers been tuning you out since you were five because you never shut up, or want to shut up

Maybe they used be be open different hours on Friday-Sunday and it was easier just to change the numbers than the whole sign.

Or you might just have good taste, and hate the way the semi-mystical Force was reduced to a kind of "superpower flu" by all that midichlorian crap...

(Not to mention Hayden Christensen's acting - although in his defense, it has been suggested that he tried to do a better job and Lucas, as director, shut him down and made him play the wooden boy - and the way Lucas felt it necessary to have everbody meet in the prequels [honestly, I was waiting for little Han Solo to show up somewhere!]. And don't even let me get started on the character of Jar-Jar Binks, or how nobody ever freaking noticed this technologically-advanced society [hand-held plasma bombs, selectively-permeable force fields] hiding in the swamps of Naboo!)

...if your friends and family refer to conversations with you as "monologues."

...the highlight of your day is someone actually being interested in listening to said monologue, even going so far as to tell you to keep talking. (This happened to me yesterday. Boy, was it awesome.)

...you relax your face only to be in pain, causing you to realize you've been making some obscenely offensive expression in public for quite a long time.

...when someone tells you to "speak your mind"/"say how you feel" your thought process completely shuts down.


(ps) This list is hilarious. I love the one about the meteor. On a similar note, there was a serial arsonist on the loose a few months ago in a town close to where I live. My boyfriend and I posted something on facebook excitedly talking about how cool it was that we have a real serial killer(! !) and a few people commented about how this isn't a good thing, this is terrible and dangerous and "people have lost their lives! This is so insensitive!" and all we could say back was "oops."
