That just goes to prove, escargot, there's always a rational explanation. Unless there isn't.
One thing that always amazes me (err, two things actually) is how often the following things happen....
I go to the fridge looking for a particular item, but I look and look and can't see it ("where's the bloody pickles?") So my partner looks and sees it immediately. I can't figure out why I couldn't see it because it was bleedin' obvious, where it should have been. Or it happens the other way around, so my partner can't see it after 30 seconds of rummaging but I do, straight away.
The other example is when one of us is trying to open something (usually a jar of something). Struggle, strain, swear..... "can't open the bloody thing!" The other one says "Let me try" - and hardly has to touch the thing before the lid pops off practically of its own accord, prompting the customary response "I must have loosened it".
Both of these things seem to happen all the time. It just feels like something is playing games with us. I don't need any help to make me even more of a paranoid android than I already am!!
