This is a question "You're doing it wrong"

Chthonic confesses: "Only last year did I discover why the lids of things in tubes have a recessed pointy bit built into them." Tell us about the facepalm moment when you realised you were doing something wrong.

I'm not gifted with computers
I was very proud to complete 7 lines in a game of Tetris once, and announced my success to some friends in the pub.

One asked how I'd only managed 7, what was I doing? I got confused, explained my playing method, and once my friend had stopped pissing himself laughing, he explained that you could rotate pieces and move them from side to side too. Ooops.

What makes this worse is that it was only 2 years ago, so it's not like it was a new game.

(I'm still impressed that I managed 7 lines without controlling the pieces at all though).

How is that possible?
Surely they'd just form a big ungainly pile in the middle of the screen?

Exactly!
Maybe if you didn't know you could rotate them.
