Random stuff your subconcious does when you're not paying attention

Hazys

I remember one summer day being hungover and suffering from the heat, i was dying for a white Magnum, so i decided to walk 10 mins to the shop to get one. I get there and pay for it and walk outside.

Outside standing next to the bin, i take off the wrapper and then I dumped the magnum into the bin and walked off with the wrapper still in my hand...I walked 100m down the road before realizing what i had done


So any funny stories of when your brain switchs off (either hungover or tired) and you are on autopilot?

Your subconcious was telling you that white Magnum's are disgusting.

funk-you

I dunno, it could be my subconcious but it's most likely that i'm wearing tight pants.

In the morning, I put the tea bag in the sink and the spoon in the bin.

Rushing to make a 9pm starting time movie at Cineworld, I turned left in Jervis St off Parnell St looking for a parking spot ..

Two guards guided me back out as they laughed and told me to enjoy the film

Strangely they also said:"Happens on this road a lot .."

Were you unconscious at the time rather than being tricked by your subconscious

I have one of those stainless steel mugs with which you can bring your tea/coffee with you. One Monday morning, very tired and hungover I put it in the fridge and was walking to work holding a carton of milk

raah!

Something that happens to me alot is that random images come into my head for no apparent reason. For example I could be sitting in a lecture and all of a sudden an image of living in an old house comes into my head.

Of course it's possible to make connections sometimes like "oh they are related" but they are always fairly tenuous connections, and there is a difference I think, between being reminded of something and these random flashes of memory. Not exactly subconscious, but the origin of these flash backs is certainly not conscious. So, that.

Also one time i went to take a piddle in the bin, and had my pants unbuttoned before I noticed.

Sugar in the fridge and milk in the cupboard is a classic. I'll do that til I die

i once filled a coffee jar with hot water thinking it was a mug

This one kills me, putting a pizza in the oven and forgetting to turn it on :mad:

Once I was talking to a friend about Steve Irwin, and was showing him something he'd done involving a snake, so I was pretending to hold a snake to show the general idea of what he was doing.
After I finished talking about it and moved on to something else, I threw the imaginary snake to the side, and didn't realise what I'd done til a few seconds later.

Whenever i'm on the phone I walk around the house picking up things along the way and relocating them to various locations around the house. The missus loves it as you can imagine.

Actually now that I remember there was a day when I was younger me and my brother were bringing a video back to the video shop and getting a new one. Half way down the road, I turned to him and asked him did he have the video he says "no, we'll have to go back for it."

So we start walking back towards home and after about 50 yards, I realise I have been carrying it in my hand the whole time.

Thats was the day I KNEW I was 'special'.

Late getting up for work one morning,mate sittin in the car outside waiting for me so ran as quick as I could.

Him : "Gillington,run back inside and put your pillow back on your bed and get your jacket instead.And get some f**king shoes on!"

Ickle Magoo

I put my wee girl in her car seat and then sat in the driving seat convinced the keys should be in my hand...I was completely befuddled, searching pockets and emptying out my bag and searching around the floor and sills - I got out to look under my seat and spotted them lying where I'd left them when on the roof of the car above the passenger door...doh!

Simply Red

Once when i was getting into the shower i threw my boxers down the toilet instead of the washing basket, i only realised what i had done after i had started peeing on them

Optimalprimerib

i subconsiously pick up things and carry them around with me for ages without realising. One day i was carrying a pebble for ages until i noticed it buzzing. I look down and its a blue bottle. How i caught it is beyond me

Hazys

Haha i must be retared or something because i have done a lot of things people here have done, boxers in the jacks instead of the wash basket, spoons in the bin always happens when im eating yogurt and then walking to the dishwasher with an empty carton before realizing.

Your not alone, this happens me too, I could be right in the middle of a tough days work, sweating, kneeling over doing something, and all of a sudden a flash of a holiday or something from 5 years ago might appear.

I once took what I thought was a sleeping tablet & spent the next 8 hours being unable to sleep, with a mild headache and a raging hard on.

Or even worse, thinking you have turned on the oven, when you have just turned on the grill. You leave the kitchen and come back ten minutes later to see if the the little light has gone off, but instead the kitchen is just full of smoke. This has happened to me more than once.

You just reminded me, I have done that also.

Went out one day and thought my car was stolen and just as I was about to phone the Guards, I remembered I had brought it out the night before and it was in Drury St car park .. :rolleyes:

Dave!

I've put the sugar into the fridge more times than I can remember

I reckon I'll just leave it there from now on, much easier

TPD

I turned on a tap, held my hands where I thought there should be water, made the washing motions, then got really confused when my hands weren't wet. I could hear the water splashing in the sink, but my hands were dry. Odd...

Someone had bent the fecking tap 90 degrees and it was soaking the wee shelf yok behind the taps. :mad:



I also sometimes say 'ow' when inanimate objects fall or knock something in a way that would be painful if it were a person.

m@cc@

I occasionally say 'Thankyou' to ATMs and 'sorry' for accidently kicking chairs with no one sitting on them.

Welcome to stonervile, Luckily I'm usually so stoned I don't remember doing half these things so my self confidence is still good.

My dad has a thing about leaving the remote in odd places not realising: In the fridge, in his pocket going to work thinking it was his phone, in the tumble dryer.....etc....

I was chatting to a mate for about fifteen minutes. He was tearing up what I assumed was a chewing gum wrapper into little shreds as we talked. Near the end of the conversation, I noticed the little iddy biddy pieces of paper in a pile on the ground. He looks down at the papers, "Ah bollix, my 50 euro, I was meant to buy milk and bread"

I left my house a while ago on my way to town (I live ten minute walk from town). An hour later I realise I was went the opposite way and ended up in Blackrock!

An hour into playing GTA 4 I realise I was originally meant to put in a Metallica DVD, not a game.

Like another poster I've thrown something into the toilet bowl thinking it was the wash basket. I've also gone off looking for my glasses loads of times when I have been wearing them. It always makes me feel like a right ass when I notice them sitting on my nose! When I wear my contacts I always go to push up my glasses too.

longhalloween

I have a habit of dropping things when I got a new idea into my head.

Doesnt matter what I had in my hand, id just drop it on the ground and not realise it. I lost mmy keys in the garden and left 4 wallets andf two backpacks on the bus. I got most of them back.

Even now ill drop my laser card on the ground when i have to pick up stuff at the till.

Yep, putting something into the Oven without switching it on, fan ovens are a b*tch like that.

Best was saying "make sure you take out the floppy dick!"*

Some maybe too old for this reference.

One time in primary school, when I was about six, I went to take out my yellow lunchbox only to find a tub of Utterly Butterly. Thanks, ma.

Just two minutes ago I tried to thank a post but couldn't see the button. I was trying to figure out why I couldn't thank that post, then realised that I had posted it 5 minutes ago.

My brother has, on more than one occasion, woken up really hungover and pi**ed into the laundry basket He'd kill me if he knew I tell this story
