When, during חזרת הש״ץ the chazzan starts saying “...יעלה ויבא” and I try to convince myself that I really did remember to say it and don’t need to go back...


Speaking of which (not really, but who’s paying attention anyway?), I’m so bad at remembering יעלה ויבא that I even forget it by מוסף!

In the middle of קדושה on שבת (either שחרית or מוסף- I’ve done both), saying ברוך כבוד ה׳ ממקומו, and then, after around a minute and a half, find myself saying ״אור חדש על ציון צאיר...״ as the chazzan starts singing ״ממקומך...״ and REALLY hoping the guy next to me wasn’t paying attention...

In the middle of Shemone Asrai, and instead of bowing for modim, you accidentally take 3 steps back and when you finish you take the tiniest 3 more steps back in the hope no one will notice you stepping back twice...

In the middle of Chazaras Hashatz (or any other time that talking isn’t allowed) I can try mouthing something to somebody, and they don’t get what I’m trying to communicate, so they’ll move their ear right next to my mouth... 
well, this was the case until COVID-19 came along and messed up this form of communication, but anyways...

Doing anything possible to have an excuse to take my gosh-forsaken mask off whenever I can- like constantly sipping my water bottle...
I even ate the food on a plane (and it definitely was NOT a first class meal)

How about putting away your lulav and esrog after hallel before hoshanos (in E"Y or nusach sefard in chu"l) espasiallyif you are the type with the whole irrigation system for your lulav.

Looking for my glasses while it's actually sitting on my nose
Putting the open apple juice into the broom closet instead of the fridge
Standing by the open fridge and not being able to remember what I came for
Mistaking my mother-in-law or sister-in-law for my wife and therefore giving them a huge smile when crossing paths in the hallway only to suddenly drop it upon realizing it's not my wife, Ooops! I actually was not that happy to see you..

I NEED YOU!!!
I'm flying in the darkest of dark
in the storm of all storms
please light my way!
Help me rise above temptation 
& come closer to you!
I need YOU like nothing else
& only you!
Only connecting with you will fill my souls yearning,
for all else is peasant food for the prince,
saltwater for the thirsty!
Please help me overcome
the distractions, obstructions & fearsome illusions,
I know it's you hiding behind the terrifying smokescreen,
testing, awaiting, patiently, with endless love,
one greater than the capacity of my imagination.
You are eternal, I don't exist,
bring me close, to cleave to you,
so that I can too last forever by returning to you.
Bring us home, to the land of our soul,
and rid the universe of all evil,
which is simply the "absence" of you,
so that we can feel & see you clearly,
Ki Bayin U'vayin Yiru, B'shuv Hashem L'Tziyon!

Here's a couple from another family member of mine:

#1: Absentmindedly snatching some popcorn and spitting it out after attempting to chew it and still not realizing that the white stuff was not popcorn rather it was PARTY SNAPPERS!

#2: Always eating the slice of challah of the guy sitting next to them and drinking from their cup, until they learn to keep the food and drink on the other side of their plate 
#3: No fail seltzer shower whenever that coveted drink is desired - and it is desired very often.

My sisters friend had an elderly man run over to her on the street from behind, who then wrapped his arms around her and planted a huge kiss on her cheek. Then his look turned to horror as he realized this wasn't his granddaughter...

I’ve seen this one with myself and everyone around me...
Getting the orange juice passed to me, and just having to shake it- even though I still see the froth from the previous shaking from all of 5 seconds ago

Just like when we smell a bottle of milk even if we are the 5th person taking from it and everyones noses before us already gave their stamp of approval!
