Things I used to believe...

Oct 3, 2014#1

Dave

This thread is to tell about things you seriously believed in, only to now realize you were a bit of an idiot. I'll give you two examples, only one of which is mine.

A girl I worked with thought that the direction she was facing was always North. She thought this because whenever she was looking at a map she'd turn it so the direction she wanted to go was up. And she knew that North was up on a map. Took a lot of explaining to get that one gone!
In the earliest days of the internet I had signed up for several email newsletters. When I'd get responses I always assumed that it came directly from the person I sent it to. So I'd get an email from, for example, Bruce Springsteen and I'd think that HE actually sent me the email. This wasn't that long ago, like in the early 1990's. I was in my mid to late 20's.

So what's your "oh shit!" thing you used to believe?

I had to explain that to my wife's family when they came up to visit this summer.

I used to believe that you could hit someone's nose bones up into their brain and kill them. And when I was really young (8-9 years old) I used to believe everything in the National Enquirer--I figured it was a news source, and they couldn't lie. This was back when they were more about bigfoot and aliens than they were about chasing hollywood stars.

My grandmother believed that if you didn't have a belly button you couldn't have a baby. Apparently she was taught (or assumed) that the baby would attach to the inside of the belly button.

I used to believe in a lot of supernatural and pseudo-scientific things. I went to see psychics, had my palm read, regularly read my horoscope, etc. My mom was into it when I was growing up, so I was never around an opposing viewpoint other than my dad saying he didn't believe in it without explanation. Now I roll my eyes at how naive I was.

When I was VERY young (4 and under, before I went to school, where I was disabused with the quickness), I believed that only women could wear glasses. It was a perfect storm of only my female relatives (at the time that would be my mom, my grandmas and my aunts) wearing them and none of the boys in our neighbourhood wearing them. I was extremely confused for a second or two my first day of kindergarten.

My mother-in-law used to believe that only women could eat fruit and that, if a man ate fruit, he wasn't a real man. She broke up with someone because of this belief. There was actually a rational explanation behind why she thought this.

I used to believe trees caused win when I was very small.

Because the leaves would blow off the tree that MUST mean the tree was blowing them off.

Her family grew up very poor in Taiwan. There were four: her, her mother, her sister and her father. Fruit was kind of a luxury, so any time they got some the dad gave it to her or her sister. She just thought men didn't eat fruit and that it was for women... And didn't find out otherwise till after she'd broken up with that poor guy.

I used to believe that staring at your food as it microwaved would make the microwave explode. Thanks for that one, mom! It was probably until middle school that I realized she was wrong. I also used to believe that you had to wait until the microwave stopped beeping before you opened it or the radiation would still be in there to hurt you, and my stepdad had to tell me that my mom doesn't know what she's talking about (he's an appliance repairman).

I think we're missing a big one--believing in stuff like Santa Claus, Easter Bunny, etc. I don't know if I ever actually did, because far back as I can remember, I would grill my mother about how any of this stuff was possible, despite being among the fine folks who without hesitation believed in Bigfoot. So that's Bigfoot yes, Santa Claus no. Anyway, I love hearing stories when people have a revelation moment. My cousins last year found out this stuff wasn't real when they found their Easter presents under the seat of their moms' car.

My wonderful smartass cousin was outraged. Her to mother: "Is Santa Claus real either? And the Tooth Fairy? Do you EVER tell the truth?!"

Them turn signals were a source of confusion for me too. I used to believe that the ones in my grandpa's car (my parents never had a car, so keep in mind I was young AND stupid AND inexperienced about cars) were the car telling him when he needed to turn to reach his destination. Of course, the fact that he'd told me that was so probably helped.

I love my grandpa.

He also claimed he could control traffic lights, but I never bought that one. Although I pretended once or twice to make him smile (that's my story and I'm sticking to it).

Until I was in my mid-twenties, I believed that most women don't really like sex, and almost all women think that nude men are ugly. I really thought that most women wanted nothing to do with a man's penis, and that they just had sex because it was expected of them, in order to get the parts of marriage that they did want.

I mean, that's legit. Cause and effect; just a mistake due to unknowns -what kid understands air pressure? However, I once met a 26 year old who believed wind was caused by ocean waves, so... She asked me why there was wind in subway tunnels... And was stunned to learn that trains caused changes in air pressure, but even more stunned to learn that all wind is just pressure systems moving.

As for myself, I believed, until I was 22, that people from the Netherlands were called Hollish, since the Netherlands is often interchangeably called Holland. But, of course it's Dutch, derived MUCH MORE LOGICALLY from Netherlands.

Whatever.

Hollish. I stand by it.

I knew someone IN COLLEGE who did not know how the water cycle works. She thought that water got into clouds via water spouts, aka tornados over water.

Also, this exact conversation happened, word for word.

Her: I've always wanted to learn sign language, because blindness runs in my family.

Me: How would you see the signs if you're blind?

Her: They can sign it in your hand, like Helen Keller.

Me: But you'd still be able to hear, why not just talk?

At this point a look of wonder crossed her face, and you realize she never thought of that before.

It's true. A penis is a disgusting, nausea-inducing instrument.

Except mine of course. Mine was forged by Hephaestus himself.

Also, I used to believe that everyone always wanted to know what they were doing wrong. I mean, I always want to know what I'm doing wrong, so everyone else would too, right? Well, I found out that's not the case. And this is something I rediscover over and over again as life goes on.

This was a popular belief up to the early 1900s! It was why many women got away with lesbian relationships, actually. It was thought women had no sexual desire so living with a female friend was seen as being innocent because women didn't get aroused or orgasm like men did and, even if they could, it was believed that the penis was needed for sex.

It wasn't unheard of for even women who thought themselves straight to have sexual experiences with other women because their men thought they were broken or depraved if they liked it.

Still, you must have been hanging out with some cute and innocent chicks, Pez! All we ever talked about from high school on was sex in my group!

Well, I got sick starting at 15, so this limited my contact with people for a lot of my life. During high school most of my social interaction was done at church youth group, not exactly a setting where young women feel free to openly discuss their interest in sex. Add to that my goody-two-shoes reputation, and there were a lot of things I didn't hear about directly from people.

Hey, don't look at us, we just use Nederlands to refer to people from Nederland.. Thank your English ancestors for this confusion.

For me though, the reverse is also true: up until somewhere in my late teens, I used to think that the coastal areas (California, New York and Florida to be precise) and the rest (I just referred to it as the midlands) were about the same size, and that everyone from the midlands was a redneck in some form or another. The stereotyping in movies and shows had a pretty big hand in it..

When I was 5, I believed:

1) There was a certain telephone pole outside (but still in view of) the playground at my kindergarten that, when stared at intently, would let me communicate telepathically with my grandparents. I have NO idea what gave me this idea.

2) That "Putting on the Ritz" was about the crackers. To this day, I wonder why Nabisco hasn't licensed it and done an ad campaign with the song. It's a no-brainer!

When I found out it didn't work that way I drew up plans for an orphanage next door to an assisted living home so no one would have to be lonely.

Oh wait, we'll need a control sample too, won't we? Okay, everyone also go have sex with women of other ethnicities as well. Give them questionnaires afterwards and have them rate their enjoyment, preferably on an easily quantified scale, like 1 to 10. (Nick should be familiar with this procedure, it's similar to what happened on prom night)

I am all for this.

Fun Size

I used to believe that the Time Life Mysteries of the Unknown books were reference material.

I used to believe in the infallibility of parents, to the extent that I frequently remind my children that I am just another guy making it up as I go along so they don't face the same disappointment I did (there are so many other, more interesting ways to disappoint them).
