Ill got first.

I felt a bit nauseous coming back from work one day last week so I went straight to bed without eating.

The next morning I was quite hungry and once I had driven to work I went to a Tesco Superstore with a hankering for a banana.

Cue stupidity. I went to the adjoining Costa to use the bathroom and quickly scanned for bananas, which they didn’t have so I bought an overpriced toastie instead.

A few days later I’m sat mind wandering and I think I was in Tesco with thousands of bananas but I just checked Costa. Sigh

Man, I'd forgotten about what happened yesterday until I saw this post.

Yesterday after work, heading to pick my dog up from daycare. I'm sitting at a red light, front of the line. A song comes on that I don't want to hear so I'm using the wheel controls to hit next song a few times, and I swear out of the corner of my eye I see the car waiting in the lane to the right of me move forward, so of course I look up and step on the gas.

The light was still red. I didn't see it until I was through the intersection.

Luckily there was no cross traffic, but man was I breathing hard when I realized how lucky I'd been.

On my drive home from work there's this one light that lets me turn left and people going straight have to wait longer. I'm so terrified that I'm going to cause someone to do what you did.

I've done that. Was looking at the radio to change songs while going through an intersection. My brain was on autopilot and I followed a guy running a red turn signal. Just about had a head on crash with the straight through traffic 😬
