I just had to share this experience with my AG family. Feel free to share your own facepalm memories. Let's keep things flame free, though.

You know you live in a rural community of the South Eastern part of the US when you stop to buy gas and:
#1 The Machine at the pump doesn't accept cash
#2 There isn't a sign that tells you that
#3 You go inside to pay and the people in front of you are confused as to which flavor of Chewing Tobacco to buy.


Let's break this down.
It's close to dishonest when gas pumps aren't modern. It also makes me wonder just which century the the tank holding the gas below ground, was built?
You see, if there was a sign saying that This Is Not A Cash Pump then those of us cardless people could drive on and be on our way. Without the sign, you could be standing out in the storm waiting for,... nothing.
Maybe I'm spoiled? I demand better service and I usually get it, without having to say a word but hello. In the South, we still pride ourselves with giving generous portions of gentile hospitality. It galls me when community, or suburban convenience stores waste my time! That negates the term convenience.

As for my third and final gripe. How retarded are you when you stand inside the store and can't decide which flavor of chewing tobacco to select? If you're over the age limit to buy it then you've already tried it! These kids were maybe 18(ish)? For The love of your mother, don't buy chewing tobacco if you've never tried it! You're buying a bag of leaves, not gum! Are you a human or a horse?

...sounds like you live in Virginia -_-

Or maybe Georgia

And no one is ever 18, half the kids in my school smoke/drink and probably half of them are 16.

This isn't exactly a face-palm moment, but somewhat related. This comes from my cousin and she posted this on facebook moments ago:

I was making coffee this morning with my back turned to my 3 year old. Out of no where he said, "Mama...Suck It!" I thought he was channelling Kathy Griffin; instead, he was holding a straw telling me to 'suck it.'

A friend of mine FBed am Amazing Race video, where they were doing something with catapults and watermelons. One of the contestants managed to shoot a watermelon into her own face. Funniest thing I've seen.

The slow motion was amazing.
Another facepalm from Amazing Race is when Chad and Stephanie ran around the entire castle looking for the pitstop when it was just 200 feet from where the challenge was.

My facepalm of the day:

Told a guy twice that he was going to trip if he didn't tie his laces, he ignored me and proceeded to fall down some stairs and surprisingly stand up without a mark. And then he didn't even think about tying his laces.

Speaking of another Amazing Race facepalm moment, did you guys see where Kevin and his dad kept falling off the turtle shell boat? Just wow.

Wait. Today while me and my friend were waiting at the bus stop waiting for the bus, my friend told me to get on.
And I was thinking pervertedly so I said, "Get on?..."
And he replied, "The bus is here, get on."
*Facepalm*

Had the exact same facepalm moment as Vortex today; set my alarm for 7:30, woke up at 10:30 which was half way through my psychology lesson. It was more of a pillow-face moment. I was so frustrated!

You're in Psychology in this semester? WE CAN B PSYCHO BUDDIEZ!

This has been a pretty glum day for me, but so far, I had a facepalm moment when I totally forgot the essentials of the bill of rights, which are going to be on the test for Government in two days.

"the first amendment is........is...WAIT! Doi" *facepalm*
