Atleast someone feels my pain... or worry???

......."was the light green when I passed it?". Just did this a few days ago.

About twice a year I'll miss my exit on my way to and from work.

Clean the reflector sight line. A garage door that doesn't want to close but will open every time usually has an obstruction somewhere. Or 'thinks' it does.

Years ago when I was driving an 18 wheeler I would get so tired this would happen often.

The worst one was on a stretch of highway where I could barely stay awake and tried cold water on the face, slapping, loud radio, window down and nothing worked. I remember every mile marker was torture. It seemed like an hour for every mile. I'll never forget it, I was at mile marker 162 and I seemed to dose off but when I realized I was dosing off I jerked the wheel, even though I was still straight, and when I looked at the next mile marker it said 32. At first I thought it was wrong but the next said 31, then 30. I literally drove 130 miles with a fully loaded rig and don't remember ANY of it. I'm so glad I don't do that $hit anymore.

Dude...that is MY Obsessive Compulsive Disorder!!! I will literally sit there, watch the garage door close, drive off, and then turn around like 3 times to make sure it's down and that it stays down. I am SO paranoid about keeping that darn thing shut. .......probably since I see what happens when people go inside or leave and leave their garage doors open. It's called a crime of opportunity....and it can happen to anyone!

I was just wondering if this has ever happened to any of you? Or if I am the only one who possibly has afterthoughts of such actions. :(
I get it all the time...LOL usually when there is no traffic and im jus cruising along. But when it happens i usually check the rear view mirror to check, and to date, i have not run a red
