I don't know why, but there are several situations where I find myself thinking weird things. Like when I'm at the bank, I think that the tellers think I'm going to rob them. While waiting in line, I make sure I stand with my hands out of my pockets. As I walk up to the teller, I make very sure that I'm not holding any little pieces of paper that could be mistaken as a ransom note. I just get very nervous when I'm in the bank.
I also get nervous around police officers. The one time that I was pulled over for speeding, I was very careful to keep my hands on the steering wheel. I didn't want to make the mistake of grabbing at the glove box to try and find my lip gloss and have the cop think I was going for a gun.
Speaking of guns, when I see a cop, I want to make a lunge for his/her gun just to see if I can grab it. I wouldn't shoot anyone...I just want to see if I could do it before he/she karate chopped me in the neck and took me out.
Does anyone else ever have totally weird thoughts like these? Or am I the only weird one?
I'm not sure I have thoughts like that, but sometimes I have these weird visions of bad things happening. To be more specific, if I was going down the stairs and tripped a little, but caught myself before I fell I might picture what would have happened if I would have actually fallen. Things like that. I always feel nervous when I have a cop driving behind me. I have never been pulled over, but I always figure I am doing something wrong.
ReplyDeleteI do that with the stairs too! Especially if I'm home alone and all the phones are upstairs, I try to plan how I would drag myself up the stairs (if I broke a leg). The worst scenario I can imagine myself in is falling in the tub (or when I've just stepped out) and the EMTs finding me very much without any clothes...yikes!
ReplyDeleteomg, I thought I was the only one who thought these things!! ahaha, glad to know this is normal ;)
ReplyDeleteI'm always paranoid that when I'm shopping the clerks will think that I'm shoplifting. I've never stolen anything in my life and I've never had anyone suspect me of stealing anything, but I always make sure everything I pick up is in plain sight.
ReplyDeleteKeep 'em coming...it's good to know I'm not the only one who thinks these things!
ReplyDeleteThe weirdest thought that i have is when i am in public transportation or in a restaurant, when it's pretty crowded but when everybody whispers, i feel an urge to shout something rude or to start singing really loud. I really have to hold myself not to do it. It's very weird and sometimes stressful cause i fear that one day i won't be able to contain myself LOL I know it wouldn't matter if i shouted or started singing but i don't know if i could handle the shame... :p
ReplyDeleteRight there with ya girl.
ReplyDeleteAlso, whenever I'm driving beside a semi truck I wonder if I could ease onto its side of the road and drive under it in time before it would drive over me. Of course I would NEVER try it, but they do it in the movies all the time and it's just one of "those things".
Yes!! The one of the stairs is mine too. Also I feel embarassed with shop guards, I hate when they are there and thinking I might be there to steal a lipstick!
ReplyDeleteNikki...I think the same thing too! I figure, they did it on National Lampoons so it must be easy :-)
ReplyDeleteAnd I'm the same way with shopping, Megan and Valeria...I feel like I have to act like a magician and constantly wave my hands in the air as in, "See? Nothing there!".
So, I've never thought of shouting things out when I'm in a quiet public place...but you can bet that I will want to now :-)
