Eejitry (yes eejitry) of the highest order

Me human, Richard, is usually a pretty level headed bloke but sometimes, just sometimes, he performs eejitry of the highest order.

Take the new 'phones Renee and he got last week as an example.

R and R got new 'phones last week... i-phone 5s as it happens, which needed new SIM cards to be put in them.  Apparently SIM cards are getting smaller and smaller and the new nano SIMs where a bit fiddly.

He got the first SIM in okay but the second one he made a complete hash of and the SIM got stuck in the 'phone.

What a nugget!

Anyway, he fiddled about with it for a while before deciding that just as discretion is the better part of valour so is cowardice the best part of discretion.  He bravely decided to leave it for someone else to sort out*.

In the meantime he successfully sorted our Renee's 'phone and all that was left to do was contact O2 to get her telephone number switched over.

Now, here's where the story gets complicated.

I'd just walked Richard home and he was going to make the call to O2 to switch numbers and then go and buy something for tea.

He made the call to the guy at O2 who duly switched both Renee's and his numbers over to the new SIM cards.

Renee's 'phone worked fine (although that was lucky, too, if you think about it... there was a 50/50 chance that Renee's number would have been switched to the SIM that was stuck in Richard's new 'phone because he'd mixed up the SIM card packs).

Richard's number was also switched to the new SIM which meant that his old 'phone stopped working and the new 'phone wasn't yet functional!

What a divvy!

But here's the real eejitry:

Renee had Richard's wallet in her bag and she was out at Pilates.  Richard had no money and no way to ring Renee to ask her to visit the shop on the way home!

What a plank!

So what does this tell us about you humans?

Well, I think it's three things:

1. You over complicated communication - just sniff each other's wee and that should tell you everything you need to know
2. You are now bereft when you lose your mobile 'phones, even for a few hours
3. Even the most sensible of you are prone to bouts of eejitry... to a greater degree (like Richard) or a lesser degree (like Renee)

*Richard did eventually ask a professional to help with the stuck SIM card... but of course he blamed Renee for trying to do something with the 'phone whilst he wasn't there to supervise.  Honestly, he knows no shame that bloke!
