    I'm weirdly good at picking up on song lyrics - I once picked up a song for my playlist by hearing part of it at my orthodontist's office. It's a great skill until I'm trying to do something and I hear a song I know come on, and my brain starts following along with the words. Especially when you're already suffering from extreme sensory overload at an arcade :'D

    This is actually sadly true. Pickpockets will stand underneath signs saying "beware of pickpockets" because people automatically feel for their valuables when they see the sign. They then know what to go for. DON'T feel for valuables on seeing these signs!
