feat of stupidity

Niraj knows, and knows it very well that a person will not put his best foot forward always. Sometimes, and these times are not very rare occasion when one shows his worst foot. C0etzee, in his "Life and Times of Michael K", describes titular chararcter's fear of "feat of stupidity". Michael K is by no means, an intelligent person, but sometimes he's so intrigued or sometimes, shocked by something that he forgets to use whatever grey cells, he has got.

Niraj has also noticed a lot people behaving in this way, something that doesn't suit their intellectual capacity at all. In fact he has noticed himself in such situations. And, he couldn't do anything else than wince the moment the "feat of stupidity" gets over.
