stop lights Options

[*mona lisa*]

Have you ever done something but you were so confused while doing it and you wonder why you did?

I was walking along a sidewalk and there were a bunch of people waiting at the red light. As the last car zoomed past, the group of people walked straight across the street even though the light was red. And I just stood there. Usually, I walk straight across if there are no cars visible along that road. But for some reason, I just stood there at the red light. A couple of passer-bys behind me walked ahead and looked back at me with a dazed expression on their faces. I was wondering the whole time I stood there if I should just ignore the red light and walk ahead or wait because it was a red light. As I said, I normally do cross if there are no cars nearby in all four directions... I just found it weird.

At least it wasn't the opposite and you were crossing when there were cars around. Mmm I tend to stare fixedly at stuff for long periods of time when I should be doing something until someone snaps me out of it. It's weird, though, because nothing passes through my mind as it happens.

I do, too. Especially when I'm eating, and no one's talking. Once, during lunch at school, I was doing that, and my friend asked, "Why are you staring at my milk?" it was funny.
