When the automatisms you acquired during your job are invading your private life.
When i was an intern in a big store, i had to fight against the reflex of storing the shelves during my own shopping sessions.

Ooo You've got good veins, I could get a huge cannula into that one.
I love it when the phlebotomist tells me I have nice veins. Makes me feel proud, and I like that it makes their life easier.

These aren’t unknown things. Airports are taken very seriously, and they work closely with regulators.
But especially when you’ve worked in a high reliability airport, you can’t help when you travel to others and notice where they’re falling behind, things they haven’t done yet. Etc.

I occasionally check my surroundings (especially when staying at a spot for more than just a couple minutes) for potential ambush and sniper locations.
The funny part about that is that I only served for two years and not once left my home country to even be at risk of combat.

I thought that was pretty typical.

i worked at starbucks during its heyday in the 90's and it turned me into an espresso snob thanks to the training they used to put their barista through.
they stopped doing that sometime in the 2000's and now i'm so bougie that starbucks is beneath my standards. lol
i'm the same way with food; i used to make my own tortillas and now everything store bought is beneath my standards too. lol
Do you have a press or do you abuela that shit with a carbon steel pan and rolling stick?

I used my hands to flatten them (flour tortillas); I don't make them anymore due to health reasons.

Used to work at a casino as security and while recording employees with coin to fill the machines, we had to sign our name and employee number on literally hundreds of slips per day.
I have signed my employee number on rent checks and even some Christmas and birthday cards without even realizing it.
We also had to clear our hands by showing front and back of hands to the surveillance camera.
I've unthinkingly cleared my hands on many occasions while shopping and putting something back on the shelf.
It took me literally years to break those habits and I still occasionally fight to not sign my employee number.
