View Full Version : things you notice (people on crutches)
Have you ever noticed that every now and again you will see like 20 people on crutches/casts in one day and then the following day you will see zero. Maybe you subconsciously notice things and sometimes you become conscious of these and other times you simply don't.
Or am I just crazy in my observation ?
Or it's the height of the skiing season!
i found with my first car i never realised how many other of the same model there was on the road and with my current car its a matter of sure every second car is the smae as mine but mine is nicer!
Actually I noticed the exact same thing. Mine is definitely nicer though
Yeah I think the car thing is also related. I guess your mind is just tuned into some things.
Today I am noticing how untidy peoples desks are (i.e. mine) ;)
i notice silver golfs and more than once have followed them and taken note of wheels, lights, etc. or asked them where they got such. cough. totally normal!

that happens with words too i find, when u use a word for the first time in ages, then notice it coming up all over the place. like the other day i used the word anomalies, i think for the first time. have seen it in several places now in the past week.
That happened me the first time I heard the word "voyeur". Suddenly it was everywhere!
I've found the same with German words I've learned . Funny that. :D I mean sometimes I see a word written and I look it up in a dictionary, and then I hear people using it all the time !
Yesterday I noticed a plethora of people on my way to work who had guitars. I think I counted 4 or 5 (my counting is not so good).
Ha ha it's all so true. I think half the universe are driving octavia's these days (but mainly the silver ones, not the nice blue/grey ones like mine!) I also love to see ones that are older than mine! Some days you see loads of ambulances or taxi's and other days you don't notice them at all.
And the word thing is totally true. Or does it ever happen that you're singing a song in your head and then you turn on the radio and it's playing. That totally freaks me out.
yes that has happened me with we didnt start the fire and then i turned on radio and it was playing. i think we are all a wee bit psychic or at least influenced somewhat by wavelenghts around us
well I'm glad you were just singing the song and didn't burn down the nearest building or anything!

that happens to me with people, like i'd be thinking something and then someone will mention to you something about what your thinking. but i have an explanation, its got nothing to do with being psychic. it happens when you see or hear something and start thinking about it, then someone else hears or see's the same thing an mentions it to you. its just a weird coincidence.
but its harder to explain the radio song thing, like today i was listening to eye of the tiger on my ipod. then at 1 o clock i turned off the ipod to listen to ray foley on the radio an he was talking about eye of the tiger then played it. that was a bit weird.
ok just to confirm the point! When i was posting yesterday I was going to give an example of a song that this had happened to me recently and I was thinking it's always something you wouldn't hear very often like funky town but I didn't post it cos I couldn't remember it specifically happening with funky town. Regardless, funky town was in my head all day and lo and behold in the gym last night what did I hear only funky town!
I guess it's kinda along the lines of morphic resonance (http://skepdic.com/morphicres.html). Or maybe Mr Hubbard's engram (http://skepdic.com/dianetic.html)According to Hubbard, the single source of insanity and psychosomatic ills is the engram. Engrams are to be found in one's "engram bank," i.e., in the reactive mind." The "reactive mind," he says, "can give a man arthritis, bursitis, asthma, allergies, sinusitis, coronary trouble, high blood pressure, and so on down the whole catalogue of psycho-somatic ills, adding a few more which were never specifically classified as psycho-somatic, such as the common cold" (Hubbard, 51). One searches in vain for evidence of these claims. We are simply told: "These are scientific facts. They compare invariably with observed experience" (Hubbard, 52).
last night i was out. as i parked up the car Tom Baxters - Better was playing. thats a great song anyhow and then when i was leaving, litterally the minute i turned on radio it was playing again. i thought twas cool. not like its at number one and every station playing it all the time.
also things i have noticed this week is the complete lack of professionalism in limerick recruitment agencies in comparison to cork recruitment agencies.
check shirts a lot this weekend! culchies i guess!
