Have you ever caught yourself doing things absent-mindedly that just flat-out embarrassed you?
I got to thinking about this tonight as I went to put sugar in my coffee.
I reached for a ball-point pen instead of my spoon and almost dipped it into the sugar bowl. Only after having noticed the light weight of the plastic pen compared to my stainless steel spoon, did I realize I had actually picked up the wrong utensil.
I've done other things that were equally embarrassing or just plain bizarre, but I thought this would make a good OP thread.
What kind of stuff have you done, just completely absent-mindedly, that when you finally realized what you did or almost did, made you just take a second look and wonder, "What the heck did I do that for?"
