Hi. My name's Stuart, and I'm an idiot.
Took my bike for an MOT this morning (Thunderace, if you're interested). As the tester rode it onto the apparatus past me I noticed the rear shock squeaked a bit - hadn't noticed it before with a helmet on, windblast and the bulk of the bike blocking the noise from the drivers seat. All through the test, I was as nervous as an expectant father, was the examiner going to find something wrong that I hadn't forseen? Was there going to be some new strange test that the bike failed? Eventually, the tester came over to me and said it had passed.
Why did I then find myself saying "So the squeak from the shock wasn't a problem?"?!?!
He hadn't heard it but me asking prompted him to spend 5 minutes more examining it to find out if it was a problem or not!
That's my "I'm an idiot" moment for the day. I'm sure I'll be back tomorrow with another....
