When reflexes acquired in your job are invading your daily life.

-When i was an intern in a retail, i had to fight against the urge to store the shelves during my own shopping sessions.

    I can’t watch anyone cook without steeling myself from mentioning their risky knife grip, mess-inducing lack of flow, slapdash mis, etc. 😵‍💫 On the positive side, I always call my status (“behind”, “hot”, “knife”, etc.)

      Yeah detaching your cheffiness in your personal life is a job in itself, I had OJT all throughout my children’s lives until they moved out, THEN my wife and I opened a BBQ joint and it’s just her and I and HOOOOO BOY the shoe is on the other foot!!! lol…we have fun.

    I often donate plasma. Sometimes while stressed I will start to unclench and clench my fist as if I’m donating.

    Used to be an Amazon delivery driver. Cursed with the knowledge of what all those stickers mean on my packages.

    Also you’ll start noticing their massive delivery trucks everywhere.

    Graduated a couple years ago with an English PhD: when I go to read anything, I always pick up a pen or pencil as if I’m going to annotate it. I still have to hold one but don’t click it out, like a security blanket, otherwise I feel immensely guilty.

    The unconscious urge to post up in a bouncer position when I’m just waiting for someone in any casual situation. I can’t imagine it makes me look like a chill person

    Used to work in underground mining, every time there wasn’t enough light, I’d reach for my cap lamp on my head

    We also used left hand drive cars in a right hand drive country and when I went home I’d get in the wrong side of the car
