When reflexes acquired in your job are invading your daily life.

-When i was an intern in a retail, i had to fight against the urge to store the shelves during my own shopping sessions.

    Used to work in underground mining, every time there wasn’t enough light, I’d reach for my cap lamp on my head

    We also used left hand drive cars in a right hand drive country and when I went home I’d get in the wrong side of the car

      Lol I do this too especially when I’m wearing a helmet while it’s dark out. The creeping dread once you realize you don’t have a cap lamp then the slow relief after you understand the situation is definitely an experience.

      Lol oh dear. I assume you twist the lamp to turn it on. Does it look like you are grabbing an invisible dick and giving it a twist? At least it is dark so no one else can see you.
