Where was I? Oh yes...

Have you ever been so absorbed in your thoughts that as you walk into a room or area, you suddenly realize it was not at all where your intended destination was? Examples:

• Walk into the bathroom at the end of the hall, realize you intended to turn some time ago and go into the kitchen to grab a snack... What do you do?
• No one else is home. Excellent. Mumble your excuses audibly to yourself, turn around and hope you remember your intended destination.
• People are home and they watched you walk into bathroom. Awkward. Turn on the light. Close the door. Sit on toilet lid (or go through the motions for authenticity) and wait a minute or two. Now, this is very important. If the bathroom has a fan. Turn it on. They could be listening. Or I suppose you can turn the faucet on and make them think you are a nervous pee-er. When the minute or two has passed flush the toilet and then turn on the faucet and wash your hands. You don't want them thinking you never wash your hands when you use the bathroom. Also, they might inspect your hands for cleanliness later. It's unlikely but we're trying to save ourselves from embarrassment here! Then open the door, turn out the light and leave without pausing and looking any of them in the eye. Look confident and hope you don't really need to pee in 5 minutes and that you remember your intended destination and don't end up in yet another available bathroom.
• Someone is in the bathroom you just walked into. Oops. Yell something brief and unintelligible and storm out, slamming the door shut behind you. Either they will think you are angry, which hopefully you have good reason to be, and will feel embarrassed about them self and not you, or perhaps they will think it a hilarious joke, which if they seem to be taking it that way, add "Gotcha!" with a smile and get out! Hope anyone else who might be present will think you entitled or hilarious rather than a pervert. This way you gain some real confidence out of an otherwise embarrassing situation. Regardless, don't blow it by forgetting to get to your intended destination. If you do. Forget it. Abort mission. In fact, leave the premises altogether.
