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 when you found yourself in the bin room, you knew why you were there.
I reasonably frequently find myself in various locations around the house (laundry, tool room, freezer room) and have no idea why I am there! I have to back track mentally to where I came from and try to recreate the thought chain to remember what I meant to do.
Sometimes I don't bother........

I'm with DArki, I thought that I was losing the plot. Good to see that it is normal.

So, thinking if I went back into the living room, the reason would come back to me. When I opened the door, I found all the lights out and the TV turned off. It was only then I realised that I'd gone to bed. Honestly. I kid you not.
I'm so used to getting the red light at the top of our street that I automatically slow down to stop even (on the odd occasion) when the light is green.
