Because I still have and use a Singer 401A in a cabinet with the knee control I cannot get the brain to fathom using the knee controlled presser foot lifter on my BERNINA machines! Oh, well!

Or - using the tv remote to make a call or vice versus. I guess we're all sort of alike.

Have you ever tried to use your car remote button to open the door of your house? I did that many times until I finally got a door with a combination lock entry. I love it! No more fumbling with keys.

Yesterday I pulled up to the gas pump on the drivers' side of the car. My car has the gas cap thingy on the passengers' side. But, hey, I only had this car for 12 years! :)

So thankful to not be alone in my oddities. Like opening the freezer to nuke the coffee.

Laughable and totally know the feeling!

Each morning I turn on the computer, enter my password, then wait for Firefox to open. Then I remember I have to click the icon to open it!

My hand goes round and round a few times looking for the shift lever! Ha, ha.

More than once I have pointed the TV remote at my husband to mute him. Doesn't work.

Me, too! I sit there pressing with my knee and wondering why the needle doesn't go. All that happens is the presser foot goes up and down. I have seldom used that knee control because of that. I still have my 301 in its custom cabinet and it works very will with the knee action.
