Best thing to do in that scenario, I've found: eat something. It's where all the food is, and that might have been the reason you actually went in there.

I do a little run-through of the systems. Hungry? No. Thirsty? No. Need a utensil to eat something you already have? No. Then I do a slow 360 to see if anything sparks a memory. Sometimes it does. Otherwise I just retreat in shame.Bella Fortuna wrote:Fuck, I'm turning into you.FBM wrote:I also frequently find myself standing in the kitchen with no idea of why I went there.

Of course, I remember what I wanted about 0.00042 seconds after sitting down again, but by that time I just say, "Fuck it. I'm not getting up again just for that."

Quirks? Does being aggressively confrontational to morons who won't shut up in cinemas count as a quirk?

Re: Bizarre quirks
Isn't that utterly normal? Everyone in our family does that from time to time - walks into a room, and then asks: "Does anyone know why I came here?" Sometimes one may even get a good guess from one of the others, if they have been listening or observing (a big if, but anyway).FBM wrote:I also frequently find myself standing in the kitchen with no idea of why I went there.![]()

It’s organic. Make stuff for the internet that matters to you, even if it seems stupid. Do it because it’s good and feels important. Put up more cat pictures. Make more songs. Show your doodles.

No, but I once worked for five minutes to get into a car that I had locked my keys in. The issue was resolved with Brenda pointed out that the other door was unlocked.Tero wrote:You left the car keys in the refrigerator too?Gawdzilla wrote:I sometimes burn down entire Japanese cities and don't remember why.
