Getting ready for work on Thursday last week
I got up and looked at the list of things I needed to take with me that morning (I needed a list to prevent exactly the kind of brain fade this question is about). Sunglasses! Ah, there they are on the side. I picked them up and cleaned off the dust, then went for a wash and brushed my teeth. Next item on the list - black suit, white shirt, black tie. I put the shirt on and ironed a pair of trousers while the kettle boiled. With my trousers on and cup of tea in hand, I went up to the study to get the next item on the list - hi-viz yellow jackets - and then down to the guest room to get the assault rifle, shotgun and pistols from under the bed. At this point I realised I was going to need my kit bag to carry all this stuff, so I went back up to the bedroom to rummage around under that bed, only to be informed by my grumpy, half-awake girlfriend that my kit bag is at the back of the big downstairs cupboard. So I dig the kit bag out of the back of the cupboard and head back to the guest bedroom to fill it with guns, back up to the study to add the hi-viz yellow jackets and then back into the bedroom to add my laptop and all the other general work stuff I might need.

I had a sit down and finish my tea and then with ten minutes to spare, put on my coat and shoes and prepared to leave the house, confident that I'd got everything. Except I hadn't, because nowhere were my sunglasses to be found.

I then spent the next 15 minutes checking the kitchen, the study, the guest room, the big cupboard and the bedroom for the sunglasses I knew I'd just had in my hand. They'd completely vanished into thin air. Fuck's sake. I checked all the rooms again, thinking that this is impossible, these are the only places I've been today and there's no way that two pairs of sunglasses can just disappear like that.

Eventually I gave up and decided to just head into work, rather than make myself late looking for them, but that tea had gone straight through me, so I went for a piss only to discover that I'd left both pairs of sunglasses next to the bathroom sink first thing that morning.

It's not a sink
it's a basin.

And why did he piss in it?

OK, I give up.
What were the guns for?

I'm more interested
in why if there's a zombie apocalypse would you need hi-viz clothing?

It's not like brains are fluorescent.
