trying on some new shorts in the change room, walk in close the blind pull my pants down and just stare at myself in the mirror for like a good 5 seconds thinking "something isnt right....." takes me that long to realize its cause I'm just standing there with my dick out cause I've stupidly removed my briefs as well! I came back to my office and tried to use apple pay to access the lifts rather than my lanyard, another 5-10 second delay as I grapple with "why did this not work the way I expected".

Jesus, dont let me touch anything important today my brain is cooked.

Go home. Go bed. Reboot.

I spent a few minutes trying to pay for shoes with my Library card once. Happens to the best of us.

Last week I grabbed my work swipe card as i walked up to the door of my house, and started moving it toward an imaginary card reader where one would normally be on a work door.

I do not have electronic locks at home.

Also, I haven't needed to use a physical pass to open the doors at work for over a year, when they moved to a new system.

Brains are stupid.

Being on Autopilot is crazy.

Those days are the days you tell your team "I'm going to accidentally cause more harm than good today, it's best I clock off early. See you tomorrow".

I know I'm not the only one who read this as "cock off".

have definitely tried to pay for good in Kmart - with my myki.

When I was in NSW I was holding my myki to the opal reader trying to figure out why it wasn't working

My favourite is trying to swipe my work pass to open my locker.
