#16 My BFF in college, when asked where sth was, would respond "If it was up your ass, you'd know where it was." I still slip up & say it.

Call center thing is real. I worked at one for a decade years ago. I still answer the phone "hello my name is x how can I help you?".

Oh boy my sides hurt from holding the laugh to not wake up people sleeping because of that last one. Glorious.

Most common brain glitch I have is when I approach my front door I start aggressively clicking the unlock button for my car on my keys.

4 years ago | Likes 5 Dislikes 0

Thinking this will unlock the front door. It happens too often. Always have to check that the car is still locked after.

They installed a light where there used to be a stop sign. I occasionally make a full stop even though it's green. Luckily I'm always alone.

YES, THIS. Also, I've come to a stop at the red, checked, and driven through before remembering that it had been changed. Luckily alone too.

Oh shiit! Hasn't happened to me yet with a red light, but can definitely see it happening! Wishing us both safety in the future!

I used to have a 3 hour bus commute to work, it was winter and we were doing long hours so it was dark when I got in and dark when I left /c

Got up on time, made my way out and onto the first two busses before I realized it was Sunday, my day off. The buses don't run back Sunday.

It took me another four hours to get home with my only saving grace being my bus pass.

#12 this clarity thing is an excellent idea. I'm a very serious person and when I ask something, people tend to thing I'm against it.

The most likely interpretation is that they're closing the building for the day and checking that no one is left inside.

They read to me less as "on autopilot" and more as "dangerously sleep-deprived," especially the last one where they explicitly admit it.

It's certainly a sub-category of autopilot.

What SweetandSour said - we do this at the library at closing. Shout "LIBRARY IS CLOSED!" Then make sure no one is still inside/passed out

No, it's very normal when you're about to close a building and activate the alarm system to do a sweep to ensure no one's stuck inside.

If it's after closing hours I can understand it as people could hide in the washroom after closing so they can steal stuff, otherwise, yeah.

Yeah, if you're closing a building, you just gotta. I had to check the bathrooms as a retail manager at the end of day.
