  • I need a new autopilot

    Hot dogs in the microwave, I take gingerale and ketchup from the fridge and set them by the microwave. I grab a glass and then proceed to squirt ketchup into my glass. I realize what I just did and rinse out my glass.

    Another incident: I go into the kitched and take the milk out of the fridge and then take one of my freezer mugs out of the freezer. I pour a glass of milk and then turn around and put the milk into the freezer. I realize what I just did and then take it out and put it into the fridge. I also just did the same thing with a jug of juice.

    There's a name for this sort of thing, if I could just remember what it is. My worst story needs a TMI warning; since I cannot remember how to do the white text trick, here's a link:

    Now the trouble about trying to make yourself stupider than you really are is that you very often succeed.

        Eh, I do the weirdest things on autopilot, too, so don't feel bad. Stuck my cell phone in the fridge after getting a glass of juice once. Didn't realize it until my fridge started ringing at me.

        And I leave things in the oddest places while running on autopilot, too. Bra in the pantry, keys in the bathroom. Or, tonight, I was pulling out a glass for water, to take my medicine with, and stuck the box of kleenex in my other hand in the cabinet before closing it, because I wasn't paying attention. Then ended up really confused because I couldn't figure out how I lost my kleenex. It happens. No worries, not a broken autopilot. Just life.

            At least you noticed what you did :P

            About 3 weeks or a month ago I woke up groggy and stuff from sleep (well lack of sleep i avg 4 - 6 hours per night so not much but im' usually used to it :P catch up on weekends lol).

            Anyways, i poured milk and sugar into my coffee mug.. sans coffee... put coffee ON a bowl cereal, then put the coffee put IN the fridge and left the milk on the table.

            thankfully i realized what i did before i ate any cereal, or left a hot coffee pot in the fridge lol.

            See... thats what happens when i get put on a day shift it doesn't work lol im used to going to bed at 7am, not going into work to start a shift.
            Common sense... So rare it's a goddamn superpower.
