Have you ever done something that makes you look crazy but really had a good explanation?

Asked by Pandora (32398points) July 15th, 2013

I often go to my garden that has ½ of the worlds bugs (ok I may be exaggerating a tad) especially spider webs. Well the little suckers like to expand all the time and let their long, hard to see, strings fly in the breeze and I would be a rich woman if I got paid 100 dollars for every time one lands on my face or a mosquito hovers in front of my face. So every time it happens I look like one of the 3 stooges trying to get the web off my face.

So I told my husband that I often wonder if our neighbors have spotted me in the back looking like some crazy spaz.

Daily! I tell myself that other people are too self-absorbed to have noticed.

I stand out in my yard calling out “breakfast” when I want my two cats to come home. “Breakfast” is on the intermittent system. lol
I use it around dinner time, dusk, to get them to come home in a hurry.

My neighbors have been hearing me call out “Breakfast” at random tomes of day for years now, both here and at my old home of 7 years. haha

^^^Has anyone besides the cats responded?

^^^ Haha…not yet. I should call out “Pancakes!”

Oops…I meant to say breakfast is on the “intermittent reward system. Cat psychology 101

All the time though I’m still not convinced that I’m actually sane . I don’t really care in the slightest though, the idea of being embarrassed is something so totally foreign to me.

Your details about the garden reminded me of how completely strange I must have looked to my neighbors a few days ago. Pasty white kid out in the blazing sun with no shirt on blastin wu tang while planting flowers :P

@Coloma I just thought of how funny it would be if you named your pets according to their personality , Bastard, or Bitch, or Slacker, Horndog, and then you went out yelling their names, Slacker, Horndog, Bastard, Bitch. Then go out to your front yard yelling their names. LOL

When I was a young teen, we had a mean little poodle named Luv.
I hated having to go call him when he ran off.

@filmfann “Luv Luvvvvvvv!! Where are you?!”
“Son, I believe you’re looking for luv in all the wrong places…”

I go onfrequent walks. During these times I rarely actually use bug spray. So I often run. One day I was really not in the right shoes for running, and niether the mood as the location was particulary beautiful.

I started windmilling my arms twirling etc. It was actually a fun stretching exercise.

But if any one saw they would have thought I was crazy.

I also frequently will grab something from my car or put something in leave the door open because I have a bigger load coming ii.e. laundry or something and then get distracted and not come back to it for a half hour.

I also have been known to take naps in my sun hot boxing car. Or to make my lunch or dinner and bring it out there to relax in a bug free sunny environment. Bring file folders and paper work.

I set up a small gaming chair in back of my hatch back and sun bathe with the top open. It gets my legs dark. all this where ever i happen to be.

@filmfann I can see how that would suck, as @uberbatman pointed out. LMAO
@Unbroken I have a very good imagination. That windmill and twirling would really land anyone in the special category. If I saw that in public, I would just die laughing. Ok, not die but my sides would hurt a lot. :D

Always a pleasure and a joy to bring laughter to the world. Bug dope really sucks and twirling and windmilling feels wonderful stretching and lighthearted fun!!! Laugh away
