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.

Lol. Pressing a button on your forehead. Still humours. Sry. I'm easily amused.
