I think I may have made a thread about this a long time ago but maybe I didn't.
Does anyone else have things they do on a daily or hourly basis that occasionally embarrass you? Now, I'll give you an example of stuff I do that occasionally gets screwed up and makes me look stupid (to myself, no one is typically around to see it).
Every time I walk into my room with my tv and computer, I instinctively, every day turn on the light switch, walk over to my desk and turn the desk light on. Then when I leave, I turn off the desk light then go turn off the light switch for the room. Now, occasionally I forget to turn the desk light on but when I leave the room, I'll go to turn the desk light off and since it's already off, I turn it on :(. Same thing with the room light, if it's off already and I'm leaving, I'll instinctively flip the switch and it'll turn on!
The funniest parts are when I get home and am exiting my car. We all have our routine, unlatch our seat belt, pull it of and step out. Occasionally I'll get some food from a really close fast food place and I'll have taken my seat belt off to grab the food and what not and not put it back on. But when I get home, even without having my seat belt on, I'll instinctively unlatch the seat belt and actually make the motions of pulling my seat belt off yet there is no seat belt!
To me it's just amaaaaazing how repetitive tasks become so ingrained that we don't even think when doing them!
Does anyone else have hilarious things they do completely on instinct without even thinking about what you're doing?
Hey it's a slow day. DISCUSS!
