I have a fair bit of home automation setup at home. So if I walk into a room the lights turn on, walk out and they turn off.

Every time I am visiting someone or in a hotel I am deeply confused why the lights don’t turn on themselves.

I diagnose you with insanity. It's terminal, I'm sorry...

I feel this - I’m renting a house that has a motion sensor built into the kitchen sink. Now when I’m over someone else’s house, i can’t turn on the sink without giving a magical wave first like I’m some kind of wizard displaced in time.

If those automatic faucets actually worked well I would probably have reached this state too. But even in 2023 they seem pretty slow to respond and don’t sense your hands half the time. I hate sitting there like an idiot waving my hand into and out of the sink trying to coax the dipshit faucet into recognizing my existence.

You ever try to pinch zoom on paper?

For me it's the automatic toilet flashers. Not at home as I don't expect it there, but it's almost gotten me in those nice office or mall bathrooms that don't have them. I wipe, get up, and walk away. Then walk back if I'm not distracted enough to NOT hear a flush.

After I got my first car with key fob lock buttons I wanted to walk up to my house front door and unlock it with a remote. After a while I actually bought a deadbolt lock with a key fob unlock.

I've done that before, I've also tried to use my security card to swipe into my house a couple times.

Happens to me as well

Nothing is wrong with you. You're on autopilot. Ever spaced out and driven to the wrong place you normally drive to? I moved and then a few times I spaced out driving home from work and I drove to my old house that I don't live at anymore. Didn't realize it till I got there. Just autopilot. My mind was daydreaming the whole time

What I find especially infuriating are the bathrooms with like 20 sinks with the hand motion activated faucets but only one soap dispenser which is a pump dispenser that you have to touch. Such inconsistency is annoying

In my early 20s I had a forklift job. Numerous times I'd get in my car and grab the blinker to try and back out of the parking spot.

My workplace has motion sensor-based lights, and I sometimes walk into other rooms with normal light switches and get confused when the lights remain off.

On top of that the faucets at my work are also motion activated, and I end up in the same situation.

Both of my bathrooms have motion sensor switches at home and you have no idea how many times I walk into other bathrooms and stand in the dark before I realize not all bathrooms have motion switches

I got one of those faucets at home. It takes a while before I remember how to use a normal one when I'm at friends etc...

I hate these automated taps. We're supposed to stick our hands under them and sing happy birthday twice for properly clean hands and well... They are never on long enough for it to clean them.

Honestly hate automated taps, that and the ones that only work if you push to the top down so you have to clean 1 hand at a time.

Unfortunately you can't trust people with normal twist taps because people suck... But dam do I miss the old cross handles. So easy to nudge it on with the back of your hand. Probably doesn't help I am a clean freak tbf
