Here is an example of the type of thing I would do. Yesterday at work I tried to make coffee, which I've never done before. I had no idea how to do it and someone told me I had to "put the powder in". I didn't realize where it was supposed to go, so I poured the coffee grounds in the coffee pot. The people I work with showed up and were wondering why there were coffee grounds around the sides of the coffee pot. I just looked really confused and they asked if I put the coffee grounds in the coffee pot. They were looking at me like I was so dumb. This, along with the fact that I am always asking questions about obvious things, has probably earned me the title of village idiot. I am pretty sure none of them have any respect for me now. Actually the couple people who would talk to me, I noticed they seemed to have become less friendly before, so it might have already happened before and this may just be further confirmation for them.
