To ask your "glitch in the matrix" moment?

The adhf object permanence means that quite often I can put something somewhere and have zero recollection if doing it, or of it being there because I can no longer see it. I also get object blind, so I can for eg- put the juice in the fridge. Shut the door. Open the door - no juice. Just completely blind to it. It's incredibly frustrating and has forced me to become rather rigid about certain things so I can be sure where they are. It can be stressful and frustrating and if I didn't know this about myself would be quite sure there were pixies or poltergeists or time slips moving my stuff and then randomly reappearing it for me!

I did. The reason we got talking was I said to him do you just go over to random women and steal there food often do you? He just laughed and said with no I honestly don't!! He had been living in Spain just landed back in England and was dying for proper English chips and I just so happened to have some, doesn't really explain why he stole them as child though, very weird

Not so much an unexplained event as a coincidence that still blows my mind.

I have two DCs that were both born on New Years Day, three years apart...

@bigbeatmanifesto You married a serial chip stealer!

I think I have a few, as a child I used to dream of myself as adult married with 3 children going through daily events I had 2 sons and a daughter in every dream and we lived in a house opposite a woods, it's all come true, I find myself in a state of deja vu ALOT.
My grandad passed away in 2011, when he was alive he would take an afternoon nap everyday from 1-2pm and even now it's like the house remembers because the sound of him getting out of bed and walking out the room still happens around 2pm it's so strange.
When I was about 14 me & 3 friends saw an aeroplane fly above us with one of the engines of fire and it was in decline it felt very like it was going down very fast and we were all shouting in shock, I ran home told my mum and she put teletext on checked the news & newspapers the next day it was never there, no news was ever reported. It definitely happened.
I met my DH before he was my DH on a beach in Wales a boy ran over to me took a chip out of my cone we spoke for 5 mins and then he ran off, 8 years later outside a chippy a man came over took a chip from my tray and later that night in the local pub we got talking and I told him about the boy an the beach he just looked at me and said cone of chips yellow costume? instantly I recognised him. So bloody weird.

once the teachers had gone to bed in taxis with some twenty something backpackers.
I think this sentence needs some punctuation-it's giving some very odd ideas!

I had a premonition about an armed robbery. It happened two weeks later and I’m a bit freaked out

I’ve also had a couple of premonitions but they weren’t dreams or predicting the future in good (and useful) time ahead, they happened immediately before.

As a student I once worked in a cake factory over the summer where I did the decorations on top. I had to re-fill my bucket of chocolate so headed off to the area where the big vats of melted chocolate were. As I rounded the corner I stopped in my tracks as I saw hot melted chocolate spraying everywhere and someone struggling with the tap on the bottom of the vat. Wow! I thought and instantaneously it disappeared and all the chocolate was gone and there was no one at the vat. I took a second to think WTF but carried on towards the vat, put my bucket down and turned the tap. The whole tap head fell off in my hand and boiling melted chocolate started spraying everywhere.

I was just rooted to the spot in disbelief. The other staff ran over and dragged me away, putting wet paper towels all over my burning skin and asking if I was ok. I was trying to say in amazement “omg guys, I saw that happen before it happened!” But only some garbled mutterings left my mouth and they thought I was in shock from the burns! I was fine - no injuries.

The other time it happened was when I was talking to a woman at a training session for a hobby. I had just asked her what she did for work when I was transported outside and I saw this woman dressed in a green suit jumping out of the cab of a van. Just after I realised it was an ambulance, the image disappeared and I was back in the training room as she said she was a paramedic.

I can’t explain these things. It really wasn’t like I had a thought in my head “wouldn’t it be funny if chocolate sprayed everywhere” or “I wonder if this lady is a paramedic” I was actually standing there watching these things happen and then snapped back into the current reality.

Shameless placemark.

When I was teen I was upstairs to use the loo and going past my room my light was on, so I turned it off as my dad was always moaning about leaving the lights on. I noticed that my parents bedroom at the end of the corridor was still on so I walked past my room to turn that off to. I went back past my room the light was back on. I ran downstairs. It's an old Victorian house and the hallway gave me the creeps.

The wicker laundry basket lid would slam. One day dad told me it was slamming when he was alone in the house.

Some years ago, my parents had a family friend who used to come and do jobs around the house for us. He was always very friendly, stopped for a beer, etc. One evening, he was about to leave and came up to me and shook my hand (which he never normally did) and said 'Well, goodbye, Autumn'. I knew instantly I would never see him again. He was killed in a train crash the following week.

I've got a few but one of the strangest was when I was sitting on my bed, alone in the house and went to put some eyedrops in. I'd tilted my head and was just squeezing the bottle to get a drop in my eye when I heard a loud NO (in my head not with my ears but I heard it and it was loud) and my hand jerked away from my face (nothing touched me and I didn't consciously move it). Looking at the bottle, I'd been about to put eardrops in my eye which would have been nasty as they were to clear ear wax.

Not really Matrix stylee but creepy as hell.
Not long after arriving home with my new born daughter, I had an awful nightmare that she was burning alive in a fire.
When I woke up I was just stood there in her room, over her cot staring at her.

I have three radio stations programmed in my car, they are all similar and play mostly chart music. I programmed them in because I don't like any talky bits so if there's a competition or a phone in or something I can easily change channel. On the way home from the school run one day Perfect by Ed Sheehan and Beyonce came on. I don't like it so I changed station, the second one also had Perfect as did the the third.

I did a quick calculation though and I now think that it's not particularly matrix-y. Given that it was a huge hit at the time all the stations were bound to play it during peak drive-time hour. The song takes about three minutes to play, one twentieth of an hour, so on any station there was a one in twenty chance of hearing it at the time you turn the radio on/tune into the station. So I heard it on station 1 and switched to station 2 (1/20 chance it would also be playing) and then switched to station 3 (1/20 chance it would be playing). So 1/20 x 1/20 is a 1 in 400 chance that all three would have it when I heard it on the first one. Which isn't particularly high odds really. Especially given that it was in the charts for weeks, and I did the school run 5 days a week.

I was on holiday in Israel years ago and went on a day trip to the Dead Sea as I’d always wanted to float in it. I was wearing a brimmed canvas sun hat as the weather was so hot, you couldn’t not wear something to cover your head. When I got out, the rim of the hat was soaked where I’d put my neck back to float. Back home, a week later, I was unpacking and thought it strange that the rim of the hat was still damp as I’d worn it every day in 40° temperatures so plenty of time for it to dry out.

Put the hat away and thought no more about it. 10 years later, I found the hat in a drawer and it was still wet. Got DH to feel it to prove I wasn’t going mad. Went through my stuff again last year (another 10 years later!) and pulled out the hat to show teen DCs and tell them the story. Yup, it was still damp in exactly the same place. I’m sure there’s a scientific explanation, but it’s still weird!

@DoctorManhattan I’ve seen those in the sky too. My parents used to own a house in rural France and we’d often sit outside staring up at the night sky because it was so dark, you could see so many stars. One night we were watching a satellite track by and I saw another light about the same size darting this way and that and then seeming to stop. I pointed it out to my dad but by the time he’d fixed on to it, it was moving in a straight line so he naturally said “oh that’s just another satellite” until it accelerated then stopped, turned 90 degrees and shot off that way then darted around some more. He’s convinced it was space junk but I’d like a proper explanation!

@sodawaterandlime what song was it? Need to know now! Had you never noticed the sneeze before?

I’ve had a few “premonition” moments, but one is quite chilling. When I was a student back in the 90’s I remember looking out of my bedroom window and seeing a plane and thinking to myself, “wouldn’t it be weird if I went downstairs and told everyone that plane was going to crash”. A few mins later our power went out, it turned out that the plane hit an electricity pylon during landing and crashed. I felt so freaked out by it that I didn’t tell anyone the thought I’d had beforehand.
