Same! Drives DH mad - I notice everything without actually paying attention to anything.

I am just getting diagnosed. I hadn't realised this particularly annoying habit was related 😂.
I point out most wild animals. Especially birds if I know the type, deer, fox, fish, rabbits etc.

Lots of things, but on the motorway:
Eddie Stobart!
Norbert Dentressangle!
Kuhne & Nagel - ooh, rare!

Totally forgot about motorway observations!

Me too and Norbert Dentressangle is always said in a French accent!

I'm not sure why but this has me in stitches 😅 What do you say?!

Silkymum · 21/04/2024 21:54

Clouds that look like other things
Stars (even though I'm rubbish at remembering the constellations!)
The moon in each of its phases, or if it's an unusual colour
An unusually beautiful or unusually coloured sunrise or sunset
Aeroplanes and helicopters, drones too actually so I guess just anything that's flying that isn't a bird
I spend a lot of time looking at the sky, and unsurprising a lot of time cleaning crap off my shoes

Cows ! Look cows !

I did that on a train once to my kids. 'look, cows.. mooooo'.

I wasn't with my kids. I got understanding looks, so can't be alone.

Mammma91 · 21/04/2024 21:57

Journey with DH. Him- wow, those are really pretty cows. Me- that's because they're horses.
It's now been a joke for 20 years, every time we see a field of horses.

My dgm always fell for a joke and my dgf loved to take advantage of her gullibility.

They made regular long car journeys to rural places. Every time they'd pass a field with black and white cows in it, he would say "Look at the black and white cows". And dgm would say "They're Friesian". And dgf would say "Oh no, it's not that cold".

Every time.

If you see a yellow car you say: yellow car

(Fellow Cabin Pressure fans will get this)

Code Red Ginger.

Hellocatshome · 21/04/2024 22:05

Dogs in cars followed by a discussion about where dog may be going.

NobbyNobbs · 21/04/2024 22:06

Dog shit.

RagzRebooted · 21/04/2024 22:06

Lambs! I will do this out loud even if it's just me in the car and it makes me so happy. Love lambs. As a toddler we lived in a caravan basically in a sheep field and I'd spend hours watching lambs,, apparently. We once fostered some for a few nights and they're exhausting.
Deer, foxes, a train (and still expect my kids to respond despite being teens!), any cats, rainbows.

LyndaSnellsSniff · 21/04/2024 22:15

Yellow cars
The road signs for Ottery St Mary (see above!)
The sign that says 'Historic Warwick' and you HAVE to say "Historwick Warwick Roderwick"

Hares
Red kites
Buzzards
Incorrectly used apostrophes
Incorrectly used 'its' and 'it's'
Incorrect use of their, there and they're

Specific lorries - I have to shout “cow lorry” when we see a Muller one with the black and white cow pattern and “fishfinger lorry” when we see a Birds Eye one which has the fish fingers on the side. DS is 12 now and not in the slightest bit bothered but I can’t help myself.
Also “cheese on wheels” when we see a yellow vehicle.
