I tend to panic and think I've lost my glasses when they are in fact perched quite happily upon my face. Similarly, the old 'where's my phone?' while it's in my hand; more than once I've texted my girlfriend asking her to call my phone because I've lost it, only to realise that I must be using something to send a text...
I suspect this one might be something everyone does at some point too: spending money you know you don't have. As a student I can't really afford to spend any more money than the bare minimum, yet I too often do. Sometimes it's because I can see my rent hasn't come out of my account yet so I think 'great, I have money' despite KNOWING that I won't in a couple of days and I really ought to ensure that I don't spend so much that I can't pay my rent.

This made me giggle. I have thought about most of these at some point, too. Most of the time I'm thinking about number 35. Goddamnit the boob adjustment struggle is real!Colour Scientist said:

Mispronouncing words and forgetting how to language when playing a game and talking at the same time. Alternatively, when you have spoken for extended periods of time without stopping much.
I'd reply to this but it literally has nothing to do with anything I just said. Just a "leave Britney alone!" Your free to believe anything you want. I'm also free to call into question those beliefs.Ten Foot Bunny said:
Ok how is that different form something that doesn't exist? This is like Car Sagan's dragon.CHUCKLIT said:
Let me guess - you're a militant, proselytizing atheist and skeptic who's not happy unless you're raining on the parades of anyone who thinks differently than you do. I'm not saying that you aren't free to call people's beliefs into question, but the real question is WHY do you feel compelled to do it in a situation where it's uncalled for? Why do you have to chime on a discussion completely unrelated to spirituality with the sole intention of shitting on what someone believes?Eddie the head said:
So I ask again, are you so offended by people who think differently than you do that you can't keep your mouth shut when you encounter them? It's not like anyone was shoving their beliefs down your throat, so can't you just leave them in peace instead of calling their beliefs ignorant? Or is it your goal to upset others?
I have a tendency to pet every dog I encounter, completely ignoring how rabid/mangy/vicious it looks. Or the odd looks it's owner is giving me.
I also feel like I bite my tongue more often than other people.

Talking so fast that eventually your mouth runs at 70mph and your words start becoming a different language. I've seen it, I've done it, it's so dumb but it's so intriguing that they justkeepgoing,notknowingtheymakenosense.
Like that.
I also hope I'm not the only one who strafes around in circles when they're bored standing still.

[li]Biting your gums.[/li]
[li]Listing things with bullet points.[/li]
You've, uh...replied. Even if it weren't steering the topic off course, though, sometimes it's just the way you say things that's important.Eddie the head said:
Miscounting the number of stairs in the dark so you end up trying step on a phantom step and fall forward.
Or in one particularly dumb moment from me. Doing some house cleaning and grabbing oven cleaner instead of wood polish and not noticing until the finish on some of the wood furniture peels slightly. Saying nothing either about the fact the oven cleaner is foamy unlike polish, smells horrible and should not be inhaled. At least I opened the windows beforehand or I'd probably be posting this via a medium :/

On a related note theres always that moment where you give isaac newton and his entire lives work the middle finger as you fall UP the stairs. Fuck you newton and your theory of gravity Ive just fallen up, looks like the intelligent design crowd are right after all it is only a theoryThe Artificially Prolonged said:
Any answer I would give is inconsequential to the point at hand. If you want to argue about the existence of a soul fine, but I'm not arguing about the point of arguing.Ten Foot Bunny said:
Also look up the bias "The Illusion of asymmetric insight" because you are displaying it blatantly, and using it as fuel for ad hominem attack. Look you don't know how I, or anyone else, thinks quit acting like you do.
But if you really want an answer I don't know why I act the way I do. There's a plethora biases, social interactions, and unconscious thoughts that go into making a person's mind. My consciousness doesn't do everything. I could give guesses, but I won't ever know for sure.
In conclusion your reply here was fallacious, bias, inconsequential, and can't be answered. So basically pointless to me.
Reply as in give an answer.Barbas said:

Can we all stop arguing. This is the sort of shit we expect over in R&P. This is a nice pleasant light hearted thread (which we havent seen in a while) and it would be a shame for it to be ruinedTen Foot Bunny said:
Im not saying any of you are right or wrong and im not having a go at anyone but I thought id say something before we get a derail and a train crash and people get warnings
On topic: theres always that moment on a saturday when you jump out of bed thinking your late for work and missed your alarm
That was kind of my point in the first place...shootthebandit said:
I probably shouldn't have responded to that original negative post, but it hit close to home for me. My bad. (To put it another way, I've never touched the R&P forum and never will because it would only stress me out).OT, I did that whole "checked for mail on a Sunday" thing about 15 minutes ago. D'oh!!! I never learn.
Well now, it's amazing what happens to a thread when you leave and check it a day or so later. Two responses before things got negative. I'm surprised it lasted that long.
I suppose I'll add that to the list. Lashing out at other people for no reason I mean. I think we're all guilty of that at one time or another.

Repeatedly trying to drink from the same empty glass
Leaving yourself a vague reminder to do something and forgetting what the reminder is about, like putting an empty carton on the table so you know to go to the store for it but the next day your just wondering why you left trash laying around.

So I was sitting home alone one day, didn't feel like gaming & the net was boring so TV it is. As I was flipping through the channels I noticed I was hungry, so I go to the kitchen find me some snacks & get a drink & return to my comfy chair to continue looking for something to watch. I reach for the remote & it's gone...
I get up look on the floor around the table it sits on, nope. I search the chair, still nothing.
Then I realize what I had done, I walk with my head hung low back to the fridge, open it up & there at eye levels sits the remote, chilling with the leftovers.
