Fire Drill
When the fire alarm goes off in your building, you will undoubtedly forget where you keep your purse...even though you have kept it in the same spot, every day for the last 20 years.
Once you have your purse, you will scope around and wonder what else you should take with you. You will likely not be able to make this decision, so you take nothing and then worry about it when you are standing outside.
You will have on your worst looking PJs and also will not be able to find your socks...which is odd because they are in the same drawer you go into to get them everyday. The shoes you put on will not match anything you have thrown on, not your PJs, not your coat...nothing. You are likely leaving your apartment in PJs, wearing white sports socks and some dress shoes or sandals.
One of the firemen who comes to the building will be hot. You will remember what you are wearing and what you look like and kick yourself.
It will not be a warm summer night.
It wasn't a real fire, of course. Just some idiot in your building who could not work a toaster. The hot fireman will point this out as he exits. You will kick yourself again for not having a proper fire drill plan. One in which you have decent attire laid out, at the ready...like the firemen do. Alarm goes off, get dressed in the attire, and rush to the scene...of course the day I put this plan into action, there will be no more fire drills.
