'[I] put my Bluetooth headphones in the freezer to charge': 40+ Awkward moments from people who were totally oblivious to their surroundings

On those groggy mornings where you're on autopilot, mishaps are bound to happen. We've all done it: when you're half-awake, you tend to do things like forget to bring your laptop to work, or maybe you start driving to your mom's house instead of the office, or even searching desperately for your phone while holding it. That's especially funny if someone witnesses you using your phone flashlight to look between the couch cushions for the phone in your hand.

One of the more embarrassing things I've done on autopilot is attempt to pay for a sandwich from a bodega not with a credit card, but with my MTA train card. The guy just stared at the bright yellow card for a second until it dawned on me that I couldn't pay for a turkey sandwich with train fare. Sadly, I've done this more than once! But as long as I don't do it to the same cashier twice, I think my shame is probably long forgotten.
