earbud reflex
the moment you think you're in control, but your brain is actually just ignoring everything else like a drunk kid at a party.
"I thought I was being cool, but I didn't realize I missed my bus until I was already on the sidewalk."
"I didn't notice my friend waving at me until I almost walked into a wall."
"I didn't hear my mom calling me until I was already halfway to the fridge."
