It took me so long to recognize. I hate the 'Do you lose your keys often' question.
I always used to answer 'No' because I know they're either next to the door where theyre supposed to be, in my current pocket or in yesterday's pants' pocket.
Or on my desk.
Or in my backpack.
Ok, maybe you have a point.
It's either EXACTLY WHERE IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE
or oh shit have you seen my _____??
And is the question really about ability to recall where they are or tendency to leave them in unusual places?
Like is it "normal" to be able to remember where any random object left in a random location is when it's needed? Or is it normal to leave objects in more sensible locations so they are easier to find when one can't recall directly where they were left?
What's with the socks? I can't NOT wear socks. Except in the shower or while swimming, otherwise I am fully socked up.
Ok. Got it. Nevermind.
At some point, i started putting on my shoes like this. Sock - shoe, sock - shoe. Is that weird?
This suggests that you wear shoes indoors as you would normally put your socks on by your bed. To many, including myself, wearing shoes in a house is weird. And kinda gross.
