Sometimes I do some really dumb things

Last week I was on holiday in South West Western Australia, staying at a fully equipped apartment.
Final night, I will do a load of clothes washing. Washing done, put in the dryer.
Damn and Blast, the Dryer does not work.
Time was 7.30 pm Saturday night. Need to find a Laundromat to dry the washing.
An expedition ensues, find said Laundromat, dry the washing, get back to apartment.
All this takes an hour and 15 minutes.
I have another look at the Dryer, I discover that for the Dryer to work, one has to push the button on the door.
I push the button, Lo and behold, the Dryer works.
 

Two dumb things I keep doing and suffering the negative consequences for are the following:

1. Assuming that offended people will forgive and forget after I apologize, and then repeatedly finding out that they seek revenge.

2. Assuming that people will not attribute a malicious ulterior motive when given a gift.

Last Presidential election I filled out my paper ballot and there was a machine that was supposed to take my ballot and tell me if my vote has been accepted and counted.

There was a prominent arrow to supposedly show where to put my ballot, but was placed on the metal behind the opening where it looked like a ballot might go. The arrow was pointing toward the back of the machine which to me looked like the actual slot must be above and behind the other opening.

I kept trying to slide the ballot back there and nothing happened. What was the other slot for? Maybe to shred unacceptable ballots who knows. So I kept trying to slide my ballot into a non-existent slot.

Finally, I became disgusted and put it in the front slot. The machine told me my vote was accepted and counted. :rolleyes: Who puts an arrow pointing at the back of the machine above and behind a slot? Why have an arrow at all?
