Force Of Habit

[icyfroth]

This morning I went to put our kitchen waste into the big bin that gets picked up weekly on Tuesday's.

I'd seen the bins lined up on the grass verge of the footpath. Seen and heard the truck come and empty them. Saw the empty bins with their lids flipped back lined back up on the verge.

Yet still on my way out absentmindedly unlocked the gate to the bin room only to find it empty of bins.

I do that on a regular basis.

Anyone else do unthinking stuff out habit?

At least you didn't drive to the shops, walk home and then report your "stolen" car to the police Bluey!
I know a man that did.

I know a woman who noticed that all the lights in her house and even the streetlights outside were a bit dim. So she rang the electricity company to come out and investigate. It was only after they got there that she remembered/noticed she still had her sunglasses on LOL

I was in a hurry and about to leave to pick up my son from after school play from a friends house when someone came to drop off a work truck for my husband.  He wasn't there at the time so I signed for the truck and got them to just leave it in the drive.

I put my younger son in the car, jumped in and reversed out.. straight into the truck that I had just signed for.  Difficult to explain but it was a circular drive and the sun was in my eyes.
