Honestly, one of my challenges revolves around my having to read everything forward and backward before I can make sense of it.
Palindromes throw me off and I have to read it again and again. (I asked Callaway to remove thousands of my posts because I saw a devastating palindrome approaching in my post count. I was not able to look the other way. So my post count is off by a bit)
It does not always fuck me up, but the other night my car's odometer reading reached 12021 while I was in a drive through service.
I was stymied. I could not figure what to do next. This shit happens. I was "almost" Stopped until the server asked what else I needed. I finally gathered myself and asked for extra napkins, put the car in gear again and started moving. My wife asked, "What were you doing?"
She knowws, but she does not always recognize things.
Palindromes or numbers that are the same when upside down somehow follow me.
109601 was my student number. Loved it.
11 was my examn number in secondary school. 121 in university.
Pass numbers, phonenumbers, some of them have been palindromes or numbers that could be turned upside down and still be the same.
Funny, ex got a few angry phonecalls, because he answered with his name and not with the name of the person she expected him to be. (How did you get this number, did you steal this phone, you're a thief, stuff like that) Then we realised she tried to reach someone with his phone-number upside down. She just dialed the number from a small piece of paper, without anything written with it.
