I evaluate people for various brain disorders and at least once a week, someone tells me they have an "IQ of 160." Invariably, they are at best upper average and usually did an online IQ test to generate their score. It's always uncomfortable when they ask me to confirm their IQ later. I always have to stifle my internal eye rolls as well when I hear "I have a photographic memory. " Finally, I also think MENSA is for narcissists.
@Narwhalicorns congrats! I had similar feelings when we got married, even though we had been together for years. It turned out to change nothing. So I think you're normal. Hope it was a great day!
@lest12 oh, I have heard so many such stories! Almost everyone DH grew up with had an arranged marriage. Some have actually worked out really well and others are just disastrous. To me the worst are the ones where the guy is overseas, has a GF, lacks the guts to tell his parents, they go ahead and arrange the marriage, and then any outcome is bad, whether it's a blow up between families, the guy and his family, or with the GF.
@loherrim - I'm sorry about the crappy day.
We all have our limits. I've seen DH spit on a car before in a similiar situation. Wicked gross but just less permanent!
I've done that. They yelled racial slurs at me as I was parallel parking and then physically forced me out of the spot from behind. I was able to muster several good dollops of phlegm for them that day. On their white SLK. Also, their racial slurs were inaccurate, but racial slurs nonetheless.

My FFFC? @LoHerrim is my fucking hero. I understand you feel bad and all, but I just see you as an instrument of karma. I mean, karma doesn't have arms and hands, somebody's gotta do her work for her.
@LoHerrim I'm sorry your day sucked so royally. I'm pretty sure if that's how my day was I would've done the same thing. I have the worst road rage probably in the history of road rage but usually only towards people who are inconsiderate assholes. also I freaking hate dually trucks. why do you need two back wheels?! seriously why??
