If someone has told me happy birthday, I’ll also say “Happy birthday!” if I’m not really paying attention.
Stupid.

I do that kind of thing a lot. I’ve never forgotten to wear the proper lower body garment, but sometimes I have shirt issues. I often wear two shirts, like a sleeveless top under an open button-down shirt or a t-shirt under a zip-up sweatshirt. I once forgot to put on my t-shirt first. Got to work, started unzipping my sweatshirt…hey, wait! I see bra straps and skin. Sometimes I will go off to the bathroom to do what one does in there, glance at myself in the mirror, and then go right back out again without doing what I intended, and then wonder why I still have to pee. I try to turn on the TV with the DVD player’s remote control. I’ll go to put on my sunglasses and realize that they’re already on my face. I’m easily distracted.
I often do a similar thing. Several times in my life, when a waiter or waitress tells me to enjoy my meal, I’ll say, “You too!” :smack:
When I have to write the date on my birthday, I often write the year I was born instead of the current year.
Now I remembered what I do when distracted. I have, in a state of barely-lucid just-awoke-at-dawn delerium, put on underwear. On top of the underwear I was wearing to sleep. :smack: I have even done this when fully awake and changing my clothes on numerous occasions.
I did salt my girlfriend’s coffee a few months ago. In my defense, she keeps salt and sugar in identical containers. Although the sugar is coffee sugar and thus brown …
And if I’m driving to somewhere that’s not one of my usual destinations but via a road I do commonly use to go elsewhere, and talking, I’ll just keep going on autopilot til my passenger asks where the hell we’re going …
Stupid things you do when you’re distracted.
On Mon and Wed I go to school by subway. On Tues and Thurs I go to work by bus.
Several times on Tuesday I have walked all the way to the subway station before … :smack:
Me too! My birthday was April 16th, and I had to work that day. Every document nearly became a blast from the past.
