[reecejackox]

I will start

Not knowing other languages

 

[amberpi]

Mine too.

 

[Floridaman999]

Not knowing about Arabic numbers.

 

[PollyannaMom]

The many things I don't yet know how to do with my phone

 

[J'aime Paris]

Never knowing song lyrics.

 

[Owlpost23]

Anything more complicated than adding,subtracting,multiplying or dividing.

 

[L&Lfan]

When I’m dining in a fancy, fancy restaurant such as Victoria and Albert’s. Perhaps uncomfortable is the more correct word, though, rather than dumb.

 

[TipsyTraveler]

Calculus.

Lots of things regarding computers. Technology just does not come intuitively to me.

Also agree with others about not knowing a foreign language.

 

[jdb in AZ]

Watching Jeopardy!

When I feel stupid about something on the Internet, at least I can look it up. Google is my friend!

 

[amcnj]

When I can’t come up with a word, name or piece of information that I am certain I know but just can’t get it out!

 

[tinkerbellandeeyor]

I am not sure if this counts but when I work up I asked if it was almost my turn and the nurse replied you your surgery was done a hr ago

 

[Sandeep1]

Anything to do with cars. My expertise ends at filling up a tank with gas.

Did you recently have surgery? I hope you have a smooth recovery Tink.

The logic part of my brain has been affected by my MS so I feel dumb when I have to ask for help with things that are easy like will these leftovers for in this container. I just can’t picture things in my head any more.

 

[Neesy228]

Not being able to make sense of my kids math homework. She’s in 7th grade.

 

[usnuzuloose]

Well, no one in here should feel dumb. But I wish I could have finished learning more ASL, for learning so I could make money doing it..

 

[Kathryn Merteuil]

Math

 

[elphaba91]

I have 2 degrees - a Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Laws. The other day I found out my oncologist not only has a Bachlor of Medicine/Bachelor of Surgery but also a Master of Arts and Master of Laws!

Sometimes I feel like Emily Litella. I will harp on something, not knowing all the facts and my friends will correct me and I am like, "Oh, that's entirely different. Never mind!"

I can't keep up with the new discoveries in the science field that I was in - both my daughters have surpassed me in their studies, and there's no way I can catch up, unless I want to spend all my free time studying. Hubby tries to talk about nuclear plant stuff to me, and I just nod my head. I've become the dumb one in the family Can't do automobile stuff, electricity puzzles me, and my iPhone? I just hand it to the kids at school and they fix it for me.
