Your brain fart(s) of the day

Re: Your brain fart(s) of the day

I'm the same. I'm too honest at a store, haha.

Sometimes I feel guilty when I leave a store not having purchased something. Not guilty that I didn't make a purchase, but in making them think that I was stealing something in the process haha.

I literally don't even browse stores anymore for this reason, especially smaller locations where it might just be you and the cashier there. If I don't know for sure there's at least 1 thing I'm getting from a place I won't even bother.

Some locations are actually making this hard too. The only way you can exit is through the cashier section, but if you didn't buy anything, you're not waiting in line just to leave, and just walking past everyone thinking you're cutting and just leaving makes it look like you're stealing.

Sometimes if I have time to kill at lunch I'll stop in somewhere like Hobby Lobby to check their model kits or cards. It does feel weird just browsing the place then walking out.

Continuing in the vein of going into a store and leaving without a purchase: There's a Wendy's and Arby's next-door to each other that I frequent, and sometimes my attention is too distracted. I'll walk into one meaning to go to the other. If there are other people in line that I'm waiting behind before I realize I meant to go next-door, I feel like the workers think that I think that I'm too good to wait patiently while they're busy. This is why I always overtip because I want to be known as a good customer who doesn't deserve any secret sauce. But in places like Arby's and Wendy's you don't tip, so you have to put that secret sauce fear to the very far back of your mind.

Also somewhat related, I feel bad when I go to a restaurant with every intent to use their resources without paying for them.

Recently I went to a Jersey Mike's and got a cheeseteak, but they didn't have any ketchup packets (some do, some don't), so I went next door to Five Guys which had no customers, so I felt super worse when they jumped at me coming in hoping to get a sale and I just said: "Hey, I feel bad but I already got my meal next door and was wondering if I could just snag some ketchup from you?" They had every right to say no or charge me I'm sure, but they were generous and gave me some.

My excuse in this situation though is I have a peanut allergy, which Five Guys kind of specializes in having in there. Not only could I not order anything, it was a threat just being in the building alone.

Re: Your brain fart(s) of the day

Here's probably my worst one (that I remember).

Had an event I went to today, just figured I'd wear a fairly basic/plain tshirt to it.

A few hours in I noticed there's a tag on the side of the shirt.....the wash tag that's INSIDE the shirt. Turns out I've been wearing that top inside out the entire day! Luckily it looks 90% the same inside out as it does on the right side, but I'm sure if you looked close enough you'd notice the stitching, or worse, the tag that's been sticking out! Nobody said anything so I'm hoping nobody noticed, but obviously a chance people noticed and just didn't want to say anything either.

Obviously pics were taken too, hopefully nothing noticeable.

This has happened to me at least a couple times. Gotta quit dressing in the dark. My biggest fear is people will think I didn't wash the shirt but made it clean by wearing it inside out lol.

Re: Your brain fart(s) of the day

Another random one that ALMOST happened

Some guy was asking me today which way to the nearest washroom.


I almost said "Mens or womens?", luckily I caught myself and was like "Mens o n your left, 10 second walk that way".

In today's world, your first thought was really the correct one.

Re: Your brain fart(s) of the day

Yesterday when getting my haircut I told the barber the wrong length (1) to use on the clippers for the sides and back of my head (usually get a 3) and didn't realize what I'd done until he made a pass over my right ear so now I have a patch of very short hair above/in front of both ears. Looks like I went a little to far with eliminating my sideburns.

I didn't think that because of the person who asked, I literally just was gonna ask men's or womens for some reason.

Maybe part of the reason was the fact that the women's washroom was right behind him so technically that would've been the closest washroom, but don't know why else I would've said that.

Re: Your brain fart(s) of the day

I ordered carryout on a restaurant app, went to a restaurant, and waited. And waited.

I talked to the cashier about why it was taking so long to get my order. She called over the manager.

It was then I realized I had walked into the wrong restaurant.

Sir, this is a Wendy's.

First one in a while....

I went to warm up some food at work. I walked in to the room, went to the microwave, opened the door and was going to put my food in before realizing that there's already food in there and someone else was actively using the microwave.

I quickly shut the door and pressed the start button to resume the timer and then just backed away.

To be fair, the microwave is quiet so I didn't even hear it on, and instinctively I always just walk in the room and put my food in the microwave and nobody's ever there so I just flat out didn't realize someone was using it.

[Ghost Of The Year]

Lol, been there done that. Multiple multiple times. Its why I dont like to walk away from the microwave at work when I'm using. I'm all for multitasking, but when it comes to a communal microwave, thats my sole focus. IfI feel like I need to be doing something else too, I'll just look at my phone.

For once it's not my brain fart but someone else's (either that or they're just lazy).

Was walking down a busy corridor, approaching a double door, lots of people are coming from the other way on the left hand side (their right but my left).

They're all using the door on that side, but it's a double door so you can also just open the door on the right (my right, their left).

But just ahead of me is a woman who is WAITING for the people on her left to go through that door so she can go through. Didn't occur to her to literally just open the door right in front of her. People just walked around her and opened the door in front of her and I guess she realized that and just walked through that door instead of continuing to wait.
