You're sitting there working on your bike, you haven't moved from that spot, suddenly something (a part, a tool ) you just had in your hand 5 minutes ago vanishes, you can't find it anywhere---how does that happen---is it just me?

Oh man, Dont you just HATE that. Happens to me all the time, WTF?

YOu want to look up something online. YOu head to the computer, sit down, check an email or something. An hour later you go sit on the couch to watch The Brady Bunch and you think "Gee, I never did look up that thing. I'll do it after the Bradys". having had your Marsha fix you head back to the computer to look up said thing. SOmething distracts you and two hours later you log off for the night. In the morning you think "DAMMIT, I still didn't look up that thing." You go to look it up, check the weather instead and head out the door - STILL without finding out what you wanted to before.

Coda and Mister---Now I don't feel so bad, I'm not alone.

^ This.

I do this all the time. 

Ha!. Think of something I want to look up on the net, read this thread and DAMN, I can't remember what it was I wanted to look for

Sitting on my ass at work on a saturday doing nothing but waiting for employees to get back from lunch so we can go home for the day. "It's not a paid lunch", "Yeah, but I'm hungry".

Atlanta I-75 traffic.
When 5-10 minutes turns into 60 when you are waiting for your food at a diner.
Chick-fil-a closed on Sunday. How is my kid supposed to play indoors while on the road?  State rest stops are creepy.

Women with smoking hot bodies - from behind or front - but with horror heads. Raised my hopes to smash them down again.

Fat chicks wearing skimpy shorts or short short skirts and half tops, cause those items are In. Just cause it is In doesn't mean you should wear it.

Perfect riding weather all week followed by heavy rain and strong winds on the weekend.

People who ride their brakes or hit the brake pedal constantly without actually slowing down.
People who come to a complete stop at lights with a 2-3 car length gap in front of them.
Non-muscular people wearing sleeveless shirts to show off their sweet tribal tattoo.
Crocs.
Ironic T-shirts.
People with half a cart full in the express line at the grocery store.
People who don't return their grocery carts to the cart collection thingie.
People that are overzealous about politics.
Walking barefoot on wood decks.
Handshakes where the other person grips obnoxiously hard.
Handshakes where the other person doesn't grip at all.
Skinny jeans.
Baseball caps where people don't bend the bill.
Thats all I can think of at the moment.....

Baseball caps worn sideways

Hoodies worn with the hood on the head - in summer or indoors

People who sit at traffic lights in a daze looking everywhere but at the light which is about to change - then needing to be beeped with the horn cause they still have their foot on the brake two seconds after the light has gone green

People who try to cut in front of you in a line, then make out they didn't see you standing there when you pull them up on it.

Checkout chicks that ask you something to which you answer, then three seconds later they ask again cause they forgot they asked in the first place. I just look at them as they sheepishly realize what they have just done. Then we joke about it and they smile and the ice is broken.

Convenience store clerks who have to REPEATEDLY be reminded of a promotion ( 2 for $3 example) the information is 3" from the register in PLAIN sight.

MMMhhmm, Or your sitting there and here something sounding like a little screw or bolt fall but there it nothing to be found and all the holes are full!

Yes Higgins, or you just removed a small screw or something and it drops down into the body of the bike somewhere and you can't for the life of you manage to locate it, when you hear it drop you are hoping it made it to the floor but it never does. There are things I have dropped down into the bike somewhere that I have never found. It's like when you get something in your eye and it finally goes away---where did it go? Are there storage areas behind your eyes that are filling up with sand, bugs, and lint?

Or, you hear it drop on the floor. But when you look it is nowhere to be found. After three hours searching with the aid of tracker dogs and two packed lunches, you find it 20ft away behind three feet of stacked boxes - how the fuk did it get there.

BINGO!---Mister, I can't believe I left that one out.

worse is when you cannot find it, you bodgy a solution somehow, get everything together and going, then find it as you put away the last tool.

Or... You never find it. But... 6 months later you open a drawer and see it staring at you. How the heck it get there?

what i'm seein here is just proof that the brady bunch is mind softening drivel that induces a coma like awake state for many other activities ... i sometimes think that the show is quite possibly the reason that the middle east lads dislike the US sooooooo much ... no family can be that icky sticky funsy cheerful all the damn time!  ... also i reckon the "damn chinese" have bought the rights to the show and keep the re-runs on indefinitely to 'zone out' western society into a mushy brain fog awareness to make their eventual invasion plans easier! ..... beware the bradys!! 

Dunno if this ones has been mentioned yet but this really pisses me off. You are standing inline at a take away store for 5 mins and so has the person in front of you. It is their turn to place their order so it's then they decide to look up at the menu and hum and har for another few minutes while they decide what they want. You had 5 minutes to decide dipshit!
