But you hadn't made that clear to THEM. So you've now just shot down the worst thing they will have potentially thought about you. Congratulations! A step towards being sensible.

You are by far not the only person who does something absolutely stupid at random times. I've walked into doors in front of people, called friends by the wrong name, said words in a sentence in the wrong order, exploded a hose full of water on myself (unhooked it from the school wall before it had drained all the way), walked into chairs in my classroom, added 4+4 wrong in front of a room of children, all SORTS of things. Hell, I think I do at least one stupid thing a day in front of my students.

And I am not stupid. My students do not think I'm stupid. My friends do not think I'm stupid. My coworkers do not think I'm stupid. We all have those stupid moments where we do something that makes absolutely zero sense. You at least have the excuse of not knowing how to use the machine.
