Maybe this should go in the "Brain Fart" thread, but sometimes when I'm driving to work, I'll go into "Auto-Pilot" mode and suddenly realize I just went through about 4 or 5 lights without knowing if they were red or green. Obviously they were green or I wouldn't be posting this, but it's a bit scary.
On another note... I find that having a beard can up the respect level of some (read most) people. When I'm clean shaven I look like a kid and people will kind of brush me off in some situations, but now that I'm sporting the "Grizzly Adams" face coat, I get quite a bit of "Thank you sir"s and things of that nature. Especially in a work environment where I'm surrounded by welders, steel workers, and truckers.
I told that to a friend of mine, starting off with a "I did a bit of a social experiment..." and thats where his eyes glossed over and drool started dripping out of the corner of his mouth. Another example of human behavior.
