Ego Deflation

Every morning at work, I buy an overpriced energy drink and a piece of fruit from the cafeteria. It costs me a little over three bucks. Last night I finally decided that this was stupid, and brought my breakfast fruit and energy drinks from home.

As we got in the elevator, I explained to my co-worker that I had finally stopped being stupid. While I was explaining this, I kept pressing the 6 button, but it wouldn't light up.

I finished explaining how smart I was at the very moment that I realized that the reason the 6 button wouldn't light up is because we were on the 6th floor, and our intent was to go to the 1st floor.

Yes, she noticed.
