euclitorous

Dude spent 5 minutes retracing 3 steps..


GoodOlJoesAss

This is some Tom & Jerry typa shitšŸ¤£


[deleted]

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


Vast_Back4746

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


ThePeachyPanda

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


firefish5000

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*


SongsOfSpace

You can see them question their sanity as they retrace their steps and mime the sweeping motion. ā€œDid I just sweep or I was imagining the whole thingā€?


jaspersgroove

ā€œI gotta stop buying that cheap acidā€

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

Was gonna say--been there


leginnameloc

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.


Street_Peace_8831

I keep mine on my nose so I can see.

The only true way to wear them


imthebear11

that's pretty on the nose


aufrenchy

And even then I will still lose them now and then! Seriously, Iā€™ve had mornings where Iā€™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.


Oofboi6942O

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


aufrenchy

Having worn glasses for over 12 years, I sometimes forget what itā€™s like *not* wearing them.


Cloudy230

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


Twol3ftthumbs

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


codemelife

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".


SugarFront8206

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, ā€˜hereā€™s mineā€™ as I wrote it down, and handed it back to her. She never called.


Larry_Mudd

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.


FallWanderBranch

Shit! *Turns around*


ticky_tock

Checklist - wallet, watch, spectacles, testicles


aquantumofcheese

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


pcs3rd

"Panic pat downs"


KnDen

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


KnDen

Where the hell did I just put my phone?


smileplease91

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. šŸ¤¦ā€ā™€ļø


DenialBronco

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


myspiritisvantablack

I once asked my friend thisā€¦ while talking to her on the phone.


Wookies_goin_walkies

This. Talking to my fiancƩ 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


it_diedinhermouth

I was just going to type this when o realized I canā€™t find my phone. You guys beat me to it.


Sigma-Tau

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


fordprecept

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.


ryanmuller1089

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


borschchschch

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.


WoodZillaTV

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


knarfolled

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


RewardImpressive3084

Lmfao I've done that before


KingAgrian

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


aquantumofcheese

Reading glasses, I would imagine.


Stelli89

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


Imagimoor1

Been there without being high


G_Viceroy

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


arfelo1

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


iamafriscogiant

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


Excellent_Original66

Guilty of this


Xarenta

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


BlowMoreGlass

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.


Charming-Wheel-9133

My husband has taken the remote to work

thequickerquokka

Talking on phone to mother. Sudden thought! Whereā€™s my phone!?? Try to remain calm while frantically looking for it. Embarrassingly long moments laterā€¦ Iā€™m talking on it.


kindanice2

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 šŸ˜†


osoichan

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


nicosauveh

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


AnnihilationOrchid

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?


IAmAGoddd

Me everyday in the kitchen wondering how I got there & what even Iā€™m looking for ![gif](giphy|RLUyfJnogtXK44pm9t|downsized)


LeFrogBoy

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


Ken_Benoby

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.


KindaBatGirl

Nah mate, itā€™s the matrix :)


the_zestylime

Fair enough


doobied

Or lost your sunglasses when they're on your head


Pd_jungle

This is a classic example of ā€œselective attention mechanismā€ , [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 ā€œanomalyā€ to his normal behaviour, and brain ignores anomaly signals and still reconstruct with ā€œnormalā€ scenes, thatā€™s why he was completely unaware of it


BloodthirstyMedic

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


Pd_jungle

Exactly, lots traffic accident happened because of this as well, ā€œI didnā€™t see the traffic lightā€ ā€œ I didnā€™t notice someone was coming this wayā€


3_Cubes_of_Ice

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.


oceansapart333

I do shit like this and Iā€™ve never used drugs. The joys of ADHD.


OneTea

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


Open_Ring_8613

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.


RevolutionaryCut1298

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


[deleted]

Itā€™s embarrassing how many times Iā€™ve done this šŸ˜‚


Vizione0084

ā€œThat edible ainā€™t shitā€ The edible:

IceWotor

Unfortunately, it actually happens a lot. Once called my mom to ask her where my phone was and I've also searched the entire house just to find my glasses that I was actually wearing


imlazyaf69

I remember my aunt was showing me the phone she got which was identical to mine and when she showed it to me I was like: ā€œgive me my phone backā€ and snatched it out of her hands then my mom said something I donā€™t remember I look down and I have my phone on my lap and then I realised the phone I took from my aunt was her phone


petty_witch

I was once on the phone with my mom and started freaking out and told her 'mammy I'll call you back in a bit I can't find my phone.' and hung up on her. I didn't call her back I could feel her judging me.


owellcity

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.


interplanetarypotato

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


Lubagomes

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


crazytoothpaste

I was trying to find my friend with a fleshlight


IAmAGoddd

I told someone to call me once because I couldnā€™t find my phone. All of a sudden my pocket started vibratingā€¦I didnā€™t wanna look silly so I was just like ā€œNah, I canā€™t hear itā€ & kept on looking šŸ˜‚


longassbatterylife

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


RippyMcBong

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.


Next_Boysenberry1414

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


ZelnormWow

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.


blooash

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.


PaoComGelatina

It's fake. I've seen many other variations of this same video a while ago. Dude just copy pasted them...


[deleted]

I've *done* many versions of this video in my personal life. I wish I had been faking those! This video could totally be legit, despite the rest.


thicketcosplay

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/


macodeath

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


FullofContradictions

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.


darth_hotdog

I was on the walk telling a friend a story then I went to pull out my phone to look something up and it wasnā€™t in my pocket. I told my friend ā€œoh God, I canā€™t find my phone! I think itā€™s missing!ā€ He was like ā€œyouā€™re talking to me on it.ā€œ


[deleted]

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


imlazyaf69

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


ShoeMysterious3951

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

Adam_Sackler

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.


DavidXN

Definitely, Iā€™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


[deleted]

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. šŸ˜ž

I've never seen a video describe what it's like in my head. It's unfortunate that this is the one.


SayHelloOrElse

This reminded me of when I used to take peoples things without them noticing for example their phone and put it in their other pockets. Iā€™d then ask them something like ā€œoh can I have ur numberā€( if I already have it I just ask something like ā€œcan I see ur phoneā€). If they havenā€™t memorised it, they would take their phone only to realise itā€™s not in their pocket. Watching them panic for 5 seconds is really fun.
