Fork vanished before my eyes
Yesterday my sister and I went out for breakfast at a cute diner in the city. We sat across from each other, and the busboy came over to set the table. He gave each of us a fork and knife.
There was a decent amount of space between us, so everything felt clearly separated. We ordered drinks and food, and while we were waiting, nothing seemed out of the ordinary.
When the food arrived, my sister immediately picked up her fork and started eating. A second later, I reached for mine—but it was gone.
I looked over at her place setting, and her fork was still there.
Confused, I said, “Why did you grab my fork when you already have yours?” She looked down, completely startled, and said she had taken the fork from her own side. She genuinely looked baffled.
At that point, I just grabbed the fork from her setting, laughed it off, and kept eating—but the whole thing felt so strange.
What was that? A glitch? Brain fart?
