Years ago when I was a late teen and living at my mother’s, she was at work as a cashier. She called my one morning and this was the conversation : Mom - do me a favor, go into my bedroom my phone should be on the nightstand. Can you grab it and bring it to me?
Me - you’re at work on break right?
Mom - yeah
Me - how are you calling me?
Mom - silence
Mom - nevermind, I have it…
Poor mom. I bet that was peri/meno brain fog. It sucks.
I did something like this once. I was talking to a buddy I the phone, and freaked out because I couldn’t find my phone to look something up.
I chalk it up to how ubiquitous the device itself is, and how little I use it as an actual phone.
Reminds me of when I was working in construction. I’d keep a pencil behind my ear for marking things. One day I had finished marking things and I went to put my pencil back behind my ear, but there was already a pencil there. Not sure how that happened but lucky for me I have two ears.
Sounds like you stole your buddy’s pen
What will you do when you find a third pencil
Start stockpiling them on his penisland.
That one is for the buttcrack of any co-worker found bending over too far.
Like trying to find the pair of glasses you’re currently wearing. Although glasses might be worse, cause eventually I’ll realize my phone is already in my hand. Glasses not so much…
too much or not enough beans?
let’s let you decide!
Give me that plant-based protein.
It’s like forgetting you had your glasses on and you went to find your glasses. I’ve seen people do this.
Piper nooooo
My wife forgot her phone the other day. I text her “hey, I found your phone” and then think a few minutes about why i should find better things to do
Me, 0.1 seconds into looking for my vape (it’s in my hand):
seeing a post that I assumed was a 3 year old tweet that mentioned Lemmy by name just gave me whiplash
