Soooooooooo

do any of you ever find yourself at the checkout line (or worse - at home!) with a product that was adjacent to the one you were trying to grab? Because it happens to me with surprising frequency, even when I think I'm being careful. I don't know if this is a me thing, a normal thing, maybe an autism thing? What sort of thing is this?

I sometimes catch myself reaching for the wrong thing at the grocery store but I'm not sure it's ever gone further than that. At least not often enough to remember. I'm usually a slow shopper and scrutinize things to make sure they're vegan, etc.

But there is that ONE time, the great vacuum cleaner debacle, where I very carefully researched and decided which vacuum cleaner I wanted to buy but then *somehow* came home with a completely different one which just happened to also be the color red.
