Strange Behavior

Filed Under General, Humor 


You know you’re not quite your usual self when:

– You insert your credit card in the cash machine instead of your regular ATM card and expect the ATM machine to spit out cash after entering the wrong PIN.

– You seriously question the Die Post Finance personnel why your already expired postal account ATM card is not working, when in fact you’ve left the replacement card, sent months ago, in your apartment.

– You hand out the Coop Supercard to the Migros cashier instead of the Migros Cumulus card at the checkout counter.

– You say “Have a nice evening” in German to the Salvation Army staffer when in fact the sun is shining ever so bright outside…at 3 p.m.

– You think that the XL Calida men’s underwear with a tacky stripe design left unclaimed at the communal laundry room is your husband’s.

– You serve yogurt with molds to your husband with a nice smile and a chirpy “Bon Appetit!”

Things happen when you psyche yourself up and start chanting to yourself: “I like living in Switzerland. I like living in Switzerland. I like living in Switzerland.”

    Hmm..have you been getting enough sleep lately, Jayred?

    I left my son’s sand toys recently at the park during a sleepy daze.:P But the worse thing that happened to me was leaving my ATM card at the machine…but it was thankfully mailed by the finder to the bank and sent back to me (made me admire all the more the honesty of the Swiss).;)

    Sining, my husband left his ATM card in the cash machine two weeks ago. UBS later sent him a new one. :-) I do like Swiss efficiency (good that you got your ATM card back, thanks to that honest card finder). To answer your question, I’ve been getting enough sleep of late (thanks to Antarax, the anti-histamine tablets I take sometimes). I guess I’ve just been very preoccupied with ‘things’ (something to do with the chanting mentioned in the post).

    hehe.. LOL the moldy yogurt :)

    For me it would be like :

    “ironing my clothes and listening to Chicago’s Happy Man on my MP3 player “

    BW, that incident concerning the yogurt with molds is really astounding, huh (I thought it was a brand new yogurt…turned out to be half-eaten already). LOL at your last line. I can’t imagine you ironing your clothes. Just for the record, I hate ironing. I once ironed my left hand.
