Such a great comment back, I really enjoyed the bit about the "wit of the staircase" fact. <br /><br />Judging from the amount of hits this single post gets from google searches, there are plenty of people sharing the same experience.Tinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14629199225330369582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6788484817950616250.post-41653091578497950772011-01-26T00:40:17.378-05:002011-01-26T00:40:17.378-05:00I felt the same way when I found out about it!
I ...I felt the same way when I found out about it!<br /><br />I knew I get that same sensation (it's why I'm actually afraid of heights; I get that sensation, and then I get scared because I actually have a pretty darn good idea of "what would happen" if I jumped). And I asked my mom and she said she gets it... but both of us are prone to or have been prone to depression, she's even bipolar(!), so I figured it was a self-destructive instinct.<br /><br />Apparently it's just a weird quirk of humanity that some people get! And the French, as usual, have an idiom for it (seems it's always the French or the Germans that have a word or idiom for this kind of odd little common thing that English-speakers apparently never thought about long enough to have their own idioms for. Schadenfraude and treppenwitz are further, German examples - the latter being the German equivalent of the French "wit of the staircase" idiom, which refers to the act of suddenly having the perfect comeback occur to you only when it's far too late to actually use it against the person you want to). <br /><br />This was actually a relief to discover; like you said yourself, it's not something you assume is "a feeling shared by others", because it seems so irrational on the face of it. Yay, I feel slightly less dysfunctional! :DAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6788484817950616250.post-22012364625443161002011-01-18T22:29:33.220-05:002011-01-18T22:29:33.220-05:00Thank you for this post!
