Oh yeah. Another one is if I'm driving and you're talking to me, we will miss our turn or I will completely miss what you said. It happened last night to me. I was taking a friend to the train station, and she was talking a lot. I missed the station. We had to do a 5-mins turn-around in silence until we got there. This might be an autism trait tho.
I once ran a stop because I had 3 people trying to talk to me while I was driving around an area I was unfamiliar with. And then I spent the rest of the drive being yelled at by those 3 people for running the stop sign.
jeez, they need to calm down
