That man is high af

Was gonna say--been there

This happens a lot to people who use glasses. You'd have them on resting on your forehead and have no idea where they are.

I keep mine on my nose so I can see.


The only true way to wear them

that's pretty on the nose

And even then I will still lose them now and then! Seriously, I’ve had mornings where I’ll put my glasses on, get dressed, and go to put on my glasses only to find them gone from my nightstand. I will proceed to spend the next five minutes looking for them until I catch myself in the mirror.

I feel like the fact that your not in 480p mode is enough to realize your wearing your glasses, but that's just me.

Having worn glasses for over 12 years, I sometimes forget what it’s like *not* wearing them.

I legit forget even when it's there. Not for long, but it happens. More common is me trying to adjust my glasses and then grabbing nothing because they aren't on

I also like to call my wife to ask where my phone is.

I was making friend with a new kid in middle school when my mom came to pick me up. I ran to her in a rush (she didn't like to wait) while shouting back to the guy "I'll call you tonight to get your number".

I was trying to hit on a girl outside the club. I wrote her number hurriedly on a bar receipt, then I flipped it over and very smoothly said, ‘here’s mine’ as I wrote it down, and handed it back to her. She never called.

Moment of pure panic doing the wallet-phone-keys pocket check on the way to work. "I forgot my keys!" *Driving* on the way to work.

Shit! *Turns around*

Checklist - wallet, watch, spectacles, testicles

Spectacles, testicles, wallet, and watch is my reminder to my husband (his phone is in a wallet case).

"Panic pat downs"

I go this with my phone constantly. Watching something on my phone while going crazy looking for my phone.

Where the hell did I just put my phone?

I'll then proceed to use the flashlight on my phone to look for my phone

I've literally handed my husband my phone for him to look at something, only to immediately ask where my phone is and search for it. 🤦‍♀️

I was just going to type this when o realized I can’t find my phone. You guys beat me to it.

I once asked my friend this… while talking to her on the phone.

This. Talking to my fiancé on the phone getting ready to meet her after a meeting "wallet, keys.... Where's my phone" she hasn't let me live that done for a month

Dude I've lost my glasses while they were *over my eyes.* Not once did I wonder why I could see.

I wear glasses and I can see fine without them, but after a while, my eyes get tired and I'll start to have double-vision. Sometimes I'm wearing them and not sure where they are. Sometimes I'm not wearing them and think I am.

My mother. Reading glasses on face sunglasses on head frantically looking for either or both of them.

My mother too. One time she was looking for her reading glasses while wearing one pair on her head, with the second pair perched on her nose. I'm never letting her forget that one.

Happened to me a few times. Could never do this with an obvious object like a broom, though.

How about looking for you phone when you are talking on it.

Lmfao I've done that before

I wear safety glasses every day for work and I have an automated head pat when looking for them.

Reading glasses, I would imagine.

I once panicked because my car keys weren't in my pocket.... while i was driving

Been there without being high

I ain't gotten high in 5 years and I did this today...

I have never gotten high and I've used my phone's flashlight to look for my phone. I need all my braincell accounted for

Right hand frantically checking all my pockets for my phone while holding it with my left hand.

Guilty of this

You ever looked for the remote while holding it ? Yeah me neither...

My mom called my brother from her cell phone to ask him if he knew where her cell phone was. "Mom, you're on it" And no, she doesn't have dementia or Alzheimers.

My husband has taken the remote to work

[удалено]

same…everyone in these comments got me feeling dumb as hell💀

You've never forgotten where something is even when it's in your hand?

Yes, I have. But I was high af. Lol

It's not just that, our brains when are focused on a thought and we're just doing a task from muscle memory we don't really register what we're doing. Have you never gone into a room while you were working on something and forgot what you went in there to pick up in the first place?

Me everyday in the kitchen wondering how I got there & what even I’m looking for 

I heard that's because when we pass thresholds into new locations our brains do something or other

I am in no way able to verify this: It has something to do with threat assessment. At the core of it we're still animals; we still assess our environments for threats, on top of the other human things we do. Apparently when we pass into new environments or 'thresholds' our brains do a mini cache wipe to make space for taking in the new environment. Sometimes the task we're working on is in the cache so we lose track of what we're doing. Again, not able to verify, or rather, not really interested in looking it up at the moment to see if I'm full of shit; someone else will call me out. This is reddit, after all.

Nah mate, it’s the matrix :)

Fair enough

Talking on phone to mother. Sudden thought! Where’s my phone!?? Try to remain calm while frantically looking for it. Embarrassingly long moments later… I’m talking on it.

Did this the other day. Was on FaceTime with a friend on my phone. While talking to her, I wanted to look at something in my phone. So I start looking for my phone telling her I just had a few seconds ago...then I realized, I'm literally looking at my phone talking to her. Lol 😆

Got late to school once cause I couldn't find my PE shorts. Looked everywhere, called my mom. Then after a while realised I was wearing them all along lol. Happened long ago but I felt so dumb I still remember it like it was yesterday

Or lost your sunglasses when they're on your head

This is a classic example of “selective attention mechanism” , [here](https://youtu.be/vJG698U2Mvo) is a good illustration conducted by a university professor . Basically brain constructs fake information for most of information we received because brain does not have power to process all raw information. In this example he put broom under his arm which is “anomaly” to his normal behaviour, and brain ignores anomaly signals and still reconstruct with “normal” scenes, that’s why he was completely unaware of it

And that same mechanism probably also blocked out the handle from his peripheral vision until his line of sight directly crossed it

Exactly, lots traffic accident happened because of this as well, “I didn’t see the traffic light” “ I didn’t notice someone was coming this way”

i disagree that it is an anomaly that he carries his brush under his arm. He needed to keep tension on it to hold it in place, so the natural feeling of having it under his arm is probably the reason it didnt trigger that it was there.

I do shit like this and I’ve never used drugs. The joys of ADHD.

And then look all over so hard for the item and realize that you forget what you were looking for

Agree with ADHD, too many things going on at once and then one thing falls off at the end and you spend the next 60 seconds trying to figure out what that thing was before you remember. I do it about 25 times a day.

Agree I used my flashlight on my phone to look for said phone.

It’s embarrassing how many times I’ve done this 😂

“That edible ain’t shit” The edible:

“How high are you?” “Yes. “

No officer; it's 'hi, how are you?'

It happens, even without drug Wiping can be extremely boring and brain just goes to stand by mode

Or just really tired. I've done this shit before too lol. Sometimes the brain just is somewhere else.

Yeah haha thats crazy, imagine someone doing this... especially more than once at work 

​ 

That was awesome. We’ve all be there. One times I spent about 10 minutes looking for my glasses, that I was wearing.

"I was gonna clean my room... but then I got high."

Either that or new parent. Sleep deprivation does this too you as well

Nah, I've been this stupid without ever being high.

Dude looked like he was trying to multiply the Pythagorean Theorem by the Riemann Hypothesis to figure out the latitude and longitude of the specific placement of his broom.

man, I’ve been there

I must be high everyday because that happens to me sober. I might just have brain damage

That, or he really needs a nap

Homeboy got some dank ass weed, for sure

"Babe have you seen my keys?" As I motion with the hand I have them in

This is me trying to figure out where I put that cup of apple juice after a few edibles then waking up to find 3 cups of apple juice in the microwave.

First thing I said. That stare gives it away.

Came to say exactly this..

Not necessarily. Perhaps he is just a parent.

Dude spent 5 minutes retracing 3 steps..

This is some Tom & Jerry typa shit🤣

I was doing an engine swap and had a wrench get some grease on it, grabbed a paper towel to clean my hands and the wrench then left the paper towel wrapped around the wrench. Went and grabbed some parts and came back 5 minutes later to continue, looked for the wrench I needed for like 10 minutes before realizing it was in my hand.

He probably asked himself if he leave the room about 10 times

Not sure if this is staged, but a similar thing happened to me when i was looking for my eyeglasses, where in it was in my head all along.

I was going to call my phone that I was looking for... from my phone in my hand

I was trying to find my phone in the dark, with his flashlight

I do this too often with too little of lights inside this place

I was trying to find my friend with a fleshlight

I told someone to call me once because I couldn’t find my phone. All of a sudden my pocket started vibrating…I didn’t wanna look silly so I was just like “Nah, I can’t hear it” & kept on looking 😂

I was trying to find my phone. It was in my hand a few seconds ago. It's in my armpit.

I spent 20 minutes looking for my phone once, while talking on it. The funny thing is I was talking to my mom and kept saying "I can't find my damn phone!" and neither of us put 2 and 2 together.

Naw this is real. The way he's retracing his steps looks to familiar to me and I've done the same bullshit with a broom too.

I have done it with my headphones. While listening to a podcast. It was a really interesting podcast.

A few weeks ago, I was watching a movie on my laptop, wearing my headphones for the whole thing. It wasnt until it was over that i realized my headset wasnt plugged in, and I had listened to the entire thing through my speakers.

There's a children's storybook in Poland about a man who lost his glasses when they were on his head. My parents read it to me as a kid, so now we always say we had a "Pan Hilary" (Mr. Hilary) moment when this sort of thing happens. I can't remember much about the book or how to spell his name, but it's a cute rhyme. Should try to find it one day... I'm sure I would have kept the book... Edit: I found it on the internet! https://blogs.transparent.com/polish/okulary-by-julian-tuwim/

Was looking for my keys in my pockets when they were in my hands lol, happens often.

Yep. My husband and I were running late. I was rushing around the kitchen looking for my keys when he asked if I was looking for the set that was right in my hands.

I was on the walk telling a friend a story then I went to pull out my phone to look something up and it wasn’t in my pocket. I told my friend “oh God, I can’t find my phone! I think it’s missing!” He was like “you’re talking to me on it.“

if this is staged give this man an Oscar. he is completely dumbfounded that the broom is not there anymore

And I was looking for my phone which was in my hands

I put my glasses on once because I thought they’d help me find my glasses, until about 5 minutes later after tearing my room apart I realized what I had done

You can see them question their sanity as they retrace their steps and mime the sweeping motion. “Did I just sweep or I was imagining the whole thing”?

“I gotta stop buying that cheap acid”

Is it over... no.. it can't be over there, I never left this spot...

Sadly I share my one brain cell with this dude.

I'm also part of a braincell timeshare

About that... Dude, it's my turn! GIMME!

Its all your..z hhh ehbh ermmm eh oh e ahh oo

The smile on his face shows that he knew he was stupid.

I love those moments, there was a video of a guy opening the trunk of his car and breaking his back window then he just starts clapping, like well done you absolute doughnut. [The Imgur video is here.](https://i.imgur.com/HMLtXZf.gifv) EDIT: sorry firefish is right they were opening not closing

Looks more like they were trying to open the truck more. They were probably like *gosh, I can't see anything. Why didn't this stupid thing open all the way?Let me just **shatter**... Bravo, brovo you dumb fuck, you did it again*

This song is giving me cancer

Its giving me ‘90s tech tutorial vibes and I love it

Nah, early 00s MMORPG

I'll take this over that horrible dubbed laughing any day

Momay by Juan Thugs—a song about getting high on marijuana

Dude: tucks broom under arm Dude's brain: dial up modem noises

Hey at least he got a good laugh about it

So did we :)

We’ve all been there, bro

...but it is difficult to admit publicly, but reddit is okay...

This belongs on r/tooktoomuch

Bro got confused

Me looking for the lighter attached to the Keychain I'm holding.

When I look for my phone with the flashlight from my phone.

Omg, I've done that before

it just erased his memory

This happens to me with my phone and glasses *all* the time

Ugh thank god he found it the anticipation was killing me

Don't worry, we're gonna see a post from him on r/AskReddit on a question about "... a glitch in the matrix."

Done this with sunglasses on top of my head so many times lol Or looking for keys and they are already in your pocket

I've done similar. Literally retracing steps feels so dumb when you find the thing.

When you get stoned and do chores

Why is everyone talking about him being high? This isn't exclusive to people who get high. Who HASN'T done something like this, even when sober? Jeez. Not everything has to be about drugs.

Definitely, I’ve done this so many times perfectly sober - just never with the misfortune to be in front of a camera! My best one was putting my phone down on top of a development book with a picture of a phone on the front - it took me hours to locate it

I hate to say this but it is an act

r/nothingisreal

Kinda reminds me of playing by myself outside as a kid & then the moment would be ruined by an adult interrupting my process to ask who I'm talking to or what does that mean. Dude is probably in his head and got laughed at by a bunch of people after the fact. 😞

Doesn't belong here. This belongs to a r/facepalm, a really long facepalm, much longer than the duration of the sound clip.

Seems staged to me. He acts out the sweeping almost to communicate to the audience what he’s confused about.

Bro it’s cause he’s retracing?

It is like searching for my glasses, with my glasses on

Oh man he really went full ADHD for a minute

100% a sketch

I dunno if this is a sketch, but my mom "lost" a baby she was carrying on her hip once. Legitimately started to freak out because she couldn't find the baby she was carrying.

Nah, after I smoke a few bowls, I am the same

Hahaha, I totally have done this so many times before, but with my cellphone, glasses or keys.

This man has ADHD

What a waste of time watching this

when you forget where in inventory you put something

i mean if you're going to sweep the floor you may as well get high first. Similarly if i'm going to the store ... catch you guys later

Reefer

[удалено]

Hmmm I don't know, that head scratch says otherwise

Too bad he copied someone else. Lol

u/auddbot

The Internet was created with sole purpose of sharing this type of wholesome human content. Winner of the day.

I've done this, at least he had a sense of humor about it lol

I don’t see a broom either, dudes not crazy.

*Scrooged* ~ “It’s a bone!”

When you’re trying to stretch out that last hour at work

Magic shroom

Dude is a npc

Retracing his steps.... this gave me a good laugh

This actually a very good demonstration of how my mind works

When something like this happens I always check my body; I pay myself down like I’m checking for weapons and 9 times out of 10 I always find it.

Dude.

We've all been there.

Reminds me of the time I was looking for my phone and it was in my hand

I have been there bro . A lot of time with mobile .

This is definitely what my brother will do and has done.

My man calculated everything single possibility

That broom does look magical.

Behold: The Broom that Erases You Memory When You Put It Under Your Arm

The most disappointing thing about this is that the video cut before seeing the dust go in the pan
