Why do our Brain’s go There?

I wonder, am I the only person that sees random things and wonders about them. Does everyone have one of those moments when you see something and your brain goes a whole different way than a normal person’s would go?

Example 1:
The other day I was walking in the parking lot at work and I saw one lonely shoe and a rubber surgical glove. Do I think: “Oh that is just trash?” No. I think, “Oh a serial killer was here and dropped his victims shoe and one of his gloves.” Better get Grissim out here STAT.

Example 2:
I was in the Burger King drive through with my cat. (No I’m not a crazy cat lady. We’re selling our house and when we have a showing we take the cat with us when we leave so she will not escape or get locked in a closet. I digress.) Anyway I was in the Burger King drive through with my cat and the funployee ask, “Is that a cat?”

I wanted to answer, “No it is a baby giraffe.” But I did not. I said “Yes it is a cat.” I wonder what would have happened if I would have said it was a baby giraffe. He would have probably rounded up the other funployees and made them come look at the baby giraffe that looked amazingly like a super fuzzy Himalayan.

Example 3:
Do they teach math in school anymore? When I hand some funployee $13.13 because the bill is $12.63 they look at me like I’ve lost my mind. I then say, “Trust me, you will owe me $0.50.” They plug the numbers into the cash register and ask, “How did you do that?” Me, “Magic, it was Magic and I am a Witch. No really it was basic subtraction.”

Really, is it just me or do other people see stuff like this and want to say the things I want to say?

  1. I Wonder…

    What is it about my resume for a Graphic Desinger position makes Monster.com think I might like to apply for Call Center Loan Officer or Substation Engineer.

    What the dog could possibly be dreaming about that makes her kick so hard it's as if someone has put a quarter in the bed. (I wondered this allowed once while the Kid and both dogs were on the couch with me. The Kid comes back with "Cookies" without missing a beat.)

    What this woman, clearly in her 40's, is doing in skinny jeans and hooker boots while taking her kids to a doctor's appointment. "Watch for mommy's t-back Johnny."

  2. I do this too. Like, I'll see someone's car idling outside of their house and instead of thinking "That is my neighbor whose car I see parked there every day and they are probably just warming it up because it is 3 degrees outside..." I think "Oh no... someone is robbing that house... and they are using a slug bug as a getaway car... I sure hope they aren't planning on stealing any couches because that could get unwieldy!"
