Anyone else do this?

Okay, this is totally random, but it just popped into my head as I made my way through the bedroom to the lamp on the nightstand.

When I'm walking in complete darkness and reaching for something, I always close my eyes. Why do I do that? It's already pitch black! Yet, I always close my eyes!

Am I alone in that, or does anyone else do that, too?

I'm more the squint as if I could see more in the dark type.

**slowtypinwoman** · 03-11-2005, 09:21 PM

no I open mine as WIDE as I can. like that is going to help. DUHH!

I close my eyes. That way I won't see the boogyman jump out at me, lol. Dumb, I know. But that's what i do.

I close my eyes and stick out my arms,feeling for something thats not there so I dont hit it lol

I had to think about this for a second, but I DO close my eyes, and like Tammy, I am reaching around trying to make sure that I dont break my neck!

and is it just me or does everyone think this way...

sometimes when the house is pitch black...I open my eyes, but wonder...are they really open...or am i confused...

man i just made myself look like a big ol goofball. LOL

Missy, I know that feeling that you're talking about. I think because my eyes can't focus it gives me that really strange feeling in my head. Is that goofy?

**slowtypinwoman** · 03-12-2005, 06:11 PM

Sometimes when I'm driving I'll freak out for a sec. thinking where are my keys?! Then I remember they are in the ignition. Stands in the goofball line next to Missy.

Sometimes I run around the house looking for my glasses WHEN I AM WEARING THEM.

**PrairieRose** · 03-12-2005, 10:20 PM

My eyes are wide open to the goofy looking stage in pitch black....like by opening them wider I can see better

**AmyMCGS** · 03-12-2005, 10:23 PM

Yep, I close mine in the pitch dark, too. Maybe we're being frugal and conserving our use of vision-- as if there's a limit?!

**dolphin** · 03-12-2005, 10:44 PM

Eyes wide open here.

Okay ladies, everyone step away from your computers and have a rest.

I often walk out of the bedroom first thing in the morning in pitch black. I have my eyes open and my hand in front of me to feel for the wall, which I walked into once.
