Why can’t you get a tan on your palms? ?

The palms of your hands (and the soles of your feet) lack melanin (the substance which give your skin its color).
This means that while other parts of your body may tan with exposure to sunlight, your palms would not.

Oh, the irony 

The only time the word incorrectly isn't spelled incorrectly is when it's spelled incorrectly.

How about a stupid action, that I am the worlds worst at and getting even worse.  Working on something, pick up a part or item and you need a tool or something special to install it.  You go looking for the item you need and after a long frustrating search you find it.  Go back to what you were working on and can't find the part, because you walked off with it in your and sat if down somewhere without thinking.  Now you get to spend another frustrating 20 minutes looking for where you sat that part down.

I have gotten so bad about doing that crap, it's not even funny. 

The other thing is what I call my magic act.  Sit or stand in one spot, and not leave that spot, sit something down and it vanishes, not to be found anywhere.

Common tool sizes like 1/2"x 9/16" wrenches, I keep several because when I use it and sit it down, it's usually easier to get another one than find the one I just had in my hand.

If I could spend as much time actually working on something as I spend looking for things I need while working on it, I could get done in 1/4 of the time.

The other is you put something in a good, logical place so it will be easily found.  The next day, you need it, now all you have to do is figure where the heck that good, logical place was.

Why is it when I buy a pair of pants I keep getting only one?

 

What a ripoff.

I think that is an affliction all mechanics suffer from. When I was still in the trades, I'd have episodes where I would look for something I was sure I put down, only to realize I was holding it.

I know EXACTLY what you are talking about. 

 

Something else I do while I'm working is go out to my service van to get a part or a tool and to make the most of my walk out there I try to think of other items I will need and so I load up with tools and parts and when I get back to the work site I realize I forgot the item I was actually needing.  Very frustrating. 

How about getting back to the van and forgetting (not remembering) what went to it to get.  I've had to go back to what I was working on to remember what it was I needed from the van.  Still do that, I came in the house today, and forgot what I needed and had to go back out to what I was working on to remember.

My favorite tool carrier was a 5 gallon bucket with a Bucket Boss, and a small set of hand trucks to carry it.  I could load up with most anything I knew I would need and save a number of them trips back and forth and gave me something to sit one when doing brakes etc.

When your dead, do you know it?

The way you know you died in your sleep, over the age of 40.   When you wake up, you are not hurting.

Does that mean I've been dead for almost 20 years? I'll be 60 before the year is out and I don't wake up hurting...

I'm just the opposite, I would luv to get six hours sleep just one night.  After about three hours in bed, my right hip, left knee, left shoulder and elbow are hurting so bad, I have to get up for an hour or two to move around, then hope I can go back to sleep.  Then I have to sleep with my hands tucked flat under my pillow so the finger joints are not locked closed the next morning.  They've started me on Humira ($5,400 per month prescripton) and I'm hoping that's the magical potion I need, but claim it can take up to three months to notice the difference.   I've just been on it two weeks so got a while to go yet.

My dad is notorious for this and I am too but have gotten better.  As a kid I used to help my dad as he was an electrician and had his own business.  We go out for a service call on a house he did a 200 amp service on years before because the homeowner was having issues with one breaker continuing to trip.  So we get out there, my dad says yup the breaker is bad.  I go out to the truck and get the breaker and come back in and I see my dad taking off the panel cover so he can access the breaker.  I look in the bottom of the panel and lo and behold, a nice pair Klein linesman pliers.  My dad picks them up, takes a look at them and says I was wondering where those went....i had to check and sure enough they had his initials engraved in them like all of his tools did.
