I called deja vu nonsense until my morning commute repeated itself
I used to laugh at stories about time glitches. Then, last week, I drove the exact same route and saw the same blue car cut me off, twice in a row. I checked the clock, and it showed the same time both instances. This weird repeat made me miss my turn and arrive late. That lateness cost me a chance at a good parking spot, which felt like bad luck piling on. Now I'm not so quick to dismiss these odd moments. They seem to trip you up when you least expect it.

Sounds like the universe really wanted you to be late that day. It went to all the trouble of a full cosmic re-run just to mess up your parking. Maybe the blue car driver was in on it too.

Deja vu jokes never age well because you've heard them before. I once tried to tell one and completely forgot the punchline halfway through. Maybe the universe was just saving me from having to repeat it.

Wait, @the_viola that's the real brain trick right there. It's like your mind gives you a little preview of the future where you tell the joke badly, so it just shuts the whole operation down to save you the embarrassment. Our own memory is basically protecting us from ourselves by making us forget. That's way weirder than just a stale joke.
