I remembered what the other thing that I did yesterday that was Country Bumpkin-like.
We have this automatic stapler and I, being knowledgeable about such things, thought I knew how it worked. I held the paper, slid it in and--
BANG!
It sounded like a semi-automatic machine gun. I jumped a mile. And I shrieked.
To make matters worse, I'd pinched my finger when it came down. (I didn't staple it, fortunately, if I had I'd probably have to be rushed to the ER. That thing is powerful.)
Once I calmed down and noticed that only two or three people had seen/heard my shriek and subsequent finger-pinching in the stapler, I felt really, really stupid.
I used that stapler all morning and, while I didn't pinch my finger again, I did jump EVERY SINGLE TIME that it made it's BANG! sound.
