tigriswolfSo every time I come home, I turn the corner and expect to see my apartment door wide open and having been burgled.
I also expect to find cat pee any and everywhere.
I have an excellent reason for the latter: my cat gets UTIs all the time and is also very territorial. I’ve learned to keep everything off the floor.
For the first, my childhood home was robbed not even a month after I and my belongings moved out.
So, for both of those, there is a sensible reason, yes?
However, every time I open my car’s trunk, I expect to find a dead body, even though I have never left a dead body in my trunk. It’s just a momentary wonder and a tiny sense of relief when there is not in fact a dead body in the trunk.
And, every time I open a stall door in a public bathroom? I ALSO expect, for just a second, to find a body.
Thankfully, of these four expectations, only the cat pee has ever borne out. I have no idea why I keep expecting to find dead bodies.

Date: 2016-04-26 02:54 am (UTC)I actually had the trunk try to close on me once! It landed on my shoulder, thankfully, but that hurt for a few days. And I'm more aware of the trunk door now.
About it being because of a past life: that makes total sense, actually. I mean, I think the bathroom one is maybe because my older sister made me watch the Scream movies before I was ready but the trunk... *hands*
