The monkey and his tools

A flower-shirted orangutan drives a nail with a hammer, watched by a man crouching beside him

Sometimes it reminds me a bit of that meme clip from the wildlife documentary with David Attenborough and the orangutan.

I mean, I go about my life and I don't do anything particularly special, but sometimes I make mistakes that don't even show up to other people because they only happen in my thoughts, and they start reacting, or even snickering.

Worse still, sometimes I'm thinking about an everyday subject, and during my reflection I think to myself, « I'm sure they know the answer », and they stay silent or talk among themselves.
