What the fuck is a vogelnest

#19

I open a reply on here and start typing sometimes and then get distracted and come back ages later and delete my reply a lot more often than you’d think

did it about 6 times in the Brexit thread yesterday

then again, ‘opening a browser tab and forgetting what you were going to google’ has been the new ‘going into a room and forgetting what you went in there for’ for a good while now for many of us I’d guess

Closing Twitter because I’m sick of it then immediately opening Twitter has been happening more times than I care to mention recently.

Used to do this with Facebook so stuck it on the last page of my apps. Having to scroll that far was normally enough to jolt me out of reopening. Now I also have it in a sub folder so there’s two levels of reminders that I shouldn’t be mindlessly opening it.

Don’t really zone out as such, more that I probably wasn’t interested or paying attention to begin with.

Web?

Ha, I did this with twitter but I’ve now realised I’ve pretty much committed the action of scrolling to where the app is and opening it to muscle memory

At work on the tills you have to touch a button to activate the card reader when someone wants to pay by card. At least 3 times a week someone will be stood there waiting with their card hovering over the machine because I’ve completely forgotten to press the button and am just staring absent-mindedly out the window or something.

At school, my mate worked a job in a garden centre and was so absent-minded / zoned out he would regularly forget if he’d given people change and stuff, got fired after a month because his till never added up.

This is such a sad feeling, one of my least favourites

I think with me it’s just the absolute tedium of the job in general that just manifests itself sometimes with this card thing. There’s also often a lot of cooking smells coming from the cafe to get distracted by, so that doesn’t help.

Not shampoo, but definitely with the shower gel.

Always been prone to zoning out, usually when bored but sometimes when loads is going on at once. Used to grey out a lot when younger as well which was always fun https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greyout

yeah zone out all the time, must seem really rude that im not paying attention but I can’t help it, I remember I zoned out on the first day of my current job at a crucial moment so I didnt actually know who my manager was for the first couple of weeks
