Whether it is cooking, or setting timers, is anyone else able to very accurately predict timers.
E.g.cset the oven for 35 minutes, then walk into the kitchen with 1 min left on the timer?
My job requires a lot of running tests that take half an hour, 1 hour etc. I have been doing some other things, and wondered “the test has to be done now”. As I am taking my phone out of my pocket, my alarm goes.
And this is my work phone, not my fun phone! Work phone normally sits on my desk all day getting ignored!!
My mom’s dog always barks at precisely 5:00PM to ask for his meds that he needs to take an hour before he can eat.
He even does it when we drive to another time zone.
Somehow my husband always knows, doesn’t matter how long the oven timer is set, he is forever standing up from the couch just before the timer goes off
What kind of crazy voodoo is this?!
I’ve got this. Check phone, 45 sec left of a 20 min timer, etc… What’s really weird is the wake-up alarm where I get up at the right time even if I forgot to set an alarm. This also works for one-off events so it’s not just my body getting up at the same time every day. E.g. I once had to wake up at 4:15 AM instead of my usual 8:00 to drive two hours to work (long story) and set my alarm to 4:15 PM accidentally. I ended up checking my phone just to see that it was 4:20 AM and I was only off by 5 min.
I’m like bipolar about it. Sometimes I do, just like you mentioned; other times I forget and overshoot it a mile.
I’ve developed it after two decades waiting tables, and learned to listen to it, but it’s useless for anything other than “food’s almost ready” or “I’m about to get sat again” and so on.
