When You're Tired or Distracted

We do a lot of strange things when we're tired or preoccupied, some of them rather interesting. Our scatter-brained tendencies cause some situations worthy of a stand-up comedy routine or TV sitcom. Below are a few examples of this.

Phone Spam

Most of us are familiar with the spam messages one gets in their e-mail inbox. Fifty percent off some disgusting product you wouldn't buy in a million years! Or a message whose sender is the name of someone you know, but the e-mail address is something weird, and all it has is a strange-looking link. Nope, not clicking on that. I like my computer without the adware and crippling viruses.
But what about phone calls? Yes, the dreaded phone calls that leave us scrambling to answer them, only to discover it's Rachel from Cardholder Services, or that our Windows PC is in grave danger. And how do we respond to these calls? "Oh no, I accidentally hit the 'end' button on the phone." "Whoops, I lost my grip on the receiver and it fell back onto its cradle, effectively hanging up on that very important call!"
But let's go farther than that. Let's entertain thoughts of the ways we'd like to reply to those calls, a few humorous scenarios of how these calls could go.

It's the Simple Things

We have many goals in life. Some of them may be difficult to obtain. But let's not forget the simple of pleasures of life... like this.
Below are pictures which describe one of my dreams.

Game Show Failure

If you've ever watched some of these game shows, you've probably been frustrated by the contestants. They're asked a question, and sometimes they give them weirdest or most obviously wrong answers. This is infinitely worse if they have limited time. Watch 'Chain Reaction', and you'll be going mad with the random things they blurt under pressure. Occasionally, you begin to suspect that the producers found the most clueless people possible to play their game show.

Things Generally Said to Animals

We say many different things to people, animals, or inanimate objects every day. Most of the dialogue is completely sane, normal conversation (with the exception of me). However, there are some things which sound odd or nonsensical, unless you're speaking to an animal.

Measuring Insanity

Sometimes I find myself to be extremely weird. Then I see something like this, and I feel much more sane.
