Top 10 Things You’ve Definitely Done at Least Once

1. Checked your phone to see the time, then immediately forgot what time it was You pull your phone out, check the time, and... wait, what was it? You stare blankly at your screen, trying to remember the time, then get distracted by a notification about a new cat video and completely forget. You check it again, but now it’s been 15 minutes, and you still can’t remember what you were doing.

2. Sent a text to the wrong person, then awkwardly tried to cover it up You type out a message like "Hey, want to hang out tonight?" and accidentally send it to your boss instead of your friend. Panic sets in. You quickly try to recover: "Oops, meant to say that to my friend, sorry for the confusion!" But then you realize the boss is a huge fan of spontaneity, so now you have to pretend like you're just that cool and always texting everyone like you're in a movie.

3. Tried to unlock your car with your house key It’s the end of a long day. You’re tired, and you walk up to your car, confident in your ability to open it. You fumble for your keys, pull one out, and jam it in the lock. Nothing happens. You give the key a little twist and even jiggle it like that’s going to help. Finally, you look down at the key, and it hits you: You’ve been trying to open your car with the house key for five minutes. Nice.

4. Said “I’m just going to have one cookie” and ate the whole box You look at the cookie jar, telling yourself, "Just one cookie." It’s fine. You deserve it. But that first cookie tastes so good, and before you know it, you’ve polished off an entire box. You even start rationalizing your behavior: "I mean, they’re small cookies, right? This can’t be that bad. Plus, they’re organic." And now you’re in a sugar coma, wondering where it all went wrong.

5. Made a grocery list, but forgot the most important item You spend time writing a detailed grocery list: bread, eggs, milk, toothpaste, chocolate chips, and a bunch of random stuff you’ll never need. You go to the store, get everything on your list, and when you’re checking out, it hits you. You forgot the one thing you actually needed: milk. You try to play it cool, like you’re just about to head back, but you both know that’s a lie. You’re going home with no milk. Again.

6. Put something in the microwave and then forgot about it You’re trying to heat up your leftover pizza for a quick snack. You set it in the microwave and press a button, then sit down to check your emails or catch up on that article you've been meaning to read. An hour later, you open the microwave door and are greeted by a sad, carbonized lump of what used to be pizza. It’s less pizza, more art project now. RIP, pizza.

7. Pretended to understand something in a conversation, then nodded along You’re in a conversation with someone, and they start talking about something complex like quantum mechanics, cryptocurrency, or astrophysics. You don’t understand a word of it, but they look so passionate about it. So you nod along like you're an expert, occasionally muttering, "Hmm, interesting!" You even throw in a “Yeah, I totally agree!” at the right moments. Inside, you're just hoping this person doesn't ask you to explain any of it back.

8. Tried to impress someone with your "cool" dance moves, only to regret it immediately You’ve had a few drinks, the music is pumping, and you think, "I’ve got this!" You pull out your most daring dance moves: the funky chicken, the robot, maybe even a risky moonwalk. At first, you’re feeling it... but then you catch a glimpse of yourself in the reflection and realize you look like a flailing octopus. Now you're stuck trying to pretend it was intentional, like you’ve just invented a new dance craze.

9. Accidentally waved back at someone who wasn’t waving at you You're walking down the street, minding your own business, when you see someone wave in your direction. Naturally, you wave back. But then, the wave-ee’s face shifts, and you realize they were waving at someone behind you. Now, you're locked in an awkward wave-off, trying to decide whether you should just pretend you're part of the crowd or awkwardly stop waving mid-wave and act like nothing happened.

10. Closed a browser tab, then immediately opened it again because you forgot what you were doing You’re deep into the web, browsing something important (probably a YouTube rabbit hole), and you close a tab because you’re distracted by another tab that definitely seems more important. A few minutes later, you go back to where you left off, and it hits you: What was I even looking for again? So, you reopen that tab, only to forget once more. After a while, you realize you’ve opened that same tab five times and still have no idea what you were searching for.
