Have you ever been walking down the street and realized that you're going in the complete opposite direction of where you are supposed to be going? But instead of just turning a 180 and walking back in the direction from which you came, you have to first do something like check your watch or phone or make a grand arm gesture and mutter to yourself to ensure that no one in the surrounding area thinks you're crazy by randomly switching directions on the sidewalk.

And i also hate being the one with the remote in a room full of people watching TV. There's so much pressure. 'I love this show, but will they judge me if I keep it on? I bet everyone is wishing we weren't watching this. It's only a matter of time before they all get up and leave the room. Will we still be friends after this?'

YES, haha. I do that a lot. If I realize that I'm going the wrong way or that I've passed the place I want to go to, I always stop and look at my phone before turning around. As for the remote thing....I tend to let the person whose house it is use the remote to avoid that problem.

Same here. It's a strange compulsion. No one gives a damn if you turn 'round on the spot, but god knows we can't afford to appear irrational, no matter who's watching.

I remember walking to the train station once and walked the wrong way without noticing. When I did I just carried on any way and was about 90 minutes late for college.

Lol, we do all of that but thers really no point. I think no one really cares. Altough i think i would find weird to see someone turning around in the streets all of a sudden. So yeah, ill continue using the phone one.

I fall to my knees and reach my arms into the air as I let out a loud "Noooo!" Then stand up and go where I'm supposed to go.

Usually when I'm going out for a walk and have been walking straight forward, I realize that I want to go suddenly back home. That's a kind of setuation when I just have to keep on walking until I find a place where I can turn in peace :P

lol this is funny no one notices u even turning. when people walk not talking with anyone ur a zombie not thinking as if ur sleep walking unless someone calls u. dont belive me try to remeber when u drive normal on a high way how long did it feel it took yu to et there if u by urself. time feels faster cuz your body and brain arent functioning as if you were talking with somone in a car or walking. Try to remeber what you thought when u last walked do u remeber. This applys to you aslo u passed where ur going cuz ur in that zombie mode if u dont belive me then why did u go the wrong way? my school is 50 km from my house in oshawa ntario canada I once passed my exit and almost ended up to kingston like 100-200 km away the reason i realized is cuz i noticed the highway is one lane now and no traffic no lights no metal bariers on the sies and tons of snow lol. If your dont get into this mode you get tired alot quicker if u still dont belive me go out one days and keeo talking non stop. Also the movies is a good example ur watching but not thinking and if ur on tv if somone asks something many ppl dont hear them or they are slow.

(When in a crowd of people) Pick up my phone, "Oh my God! Where!?! I'll be right there! OUT-OF-THE-WAAAAAY!!!" I dash heroically down the sidewalk, looking as though something dire is about to happen. Then I make it back to my house and sit in the corner of my basement with some bubble gun I stole from my friend. DoubleBubble, bubble gum.

I just turn around.. I let other people waste their time worrying over unimportant things like that... really, we think more people care what we're doing than they really do.. how often do you notice other people doing that or really care why they did that to begin with? Probably almost never.

I make a conscious effort to spontaneously sturn around with a strange look and foam coming out of my mouth, even if I'm with a group of people.

Haha thank you that made my day! I haven't had that happen to my in the streets, but it does happen to me a lot in school. I just go whoops, and turn the other way, even though I look dumb.

I honestly do it a lot while driving, but you obviously just can't throw the vehicle in reverse and go back, so I have to find some other way to get to my destination.
