As what the title says how many times do you get a facepalm reaction or a stupid look from other people? I don't know why but whenever I do something the wrong way or do something incorectly. People flip out on me or give me a facepalm on what a terrible job I did. So I would like. to know what are some situations where you have
gotten a stupid look or a facepalm reaction from someone?

Not terribly often, or so I hope!
I don't facepalm at things myself unless they are really worth it ;)

When I do something and someone else thinks that what I did deserves a facepalm reaction.

Somewhat often, I'd say. I also get a lot of flack from my father for being clumsy or 'cack-handed', which, if I do have Asperger's, is rather insensitive. Ah well.

I always manage to do something worthy of a facepalm when no one's around. :lol:

WAY too often, imho.

Typically it's because I've misunderstood the point of a conversation, or because I have matter-of-factly chimed into a discussion with a correction on a detail that no one else seems to think is important.

I see no point to inaccuracy and (incorrectly) assume that if people are talking about something, they would actually care about the details.

This can vary by any topic, as I read a lot and am tickled if that knowledge I glean can be put to good use.

Uh, an example would be sitting around with a bunch of my ex's friends' wives many moons ago. They were talking about some couple they thought were going to have some problems and saying that some attractive woman the guy worked with would prove to be a problem.
And, I (helpfully) pointed out that only 10-15% men that cheat on their wives say they do so with someone *more* attractive.
Luckily, I noticed them looking at me like I had lobster crawling out of my ears before I went on to point out other pertinent facts (like, 1. the guy didn't really have the je nes se quois to charm a lady and, most importantly, 2. the attractive woman probably isn't a dumb whore, no matter much the other ladies would like to think so.)
