Pitfall

July 4, 2009 · 3 Comments

An example:

  1. Notice annoying music.
  2. Decide to use noise-canceling headphones.
  3. Search all over for headphones. After multiple trips to car, searching under bed, fearing I left them at work on Thursday, etc., find them in first place I looked (desk). Eyes must have skipped them, thinking, “Gee, those noise-canceling headphones are irrelevant to my search for noise-canceling headphones.”
  4. Put on headphones.
  5. Discover that headphones cut out white noise really well, helping me to perceive the music louder and clearer.
  6. Take off headphones and put them back in desk.
