And at stoplights, yes.
“You will turn green”
turns green
“Yeah, I’m a fuckin’ Jedi.”
“No you’re not. You just watched the light on the cross street.”
“I find your lack of faith disturbing.”
I snap my fingers as I approach red traffic lights and my confirmation bias is off the charts.
You mean other people don’t?!?
I make Sith force gestures
I do it to the subway doors sometimes. At least once it made someone laugh pretty hard, which was nice.
only for 40 years
Working in a grocery store in high school blunted that fun for me, because when you’re busy and trying to go in and out those doors can be frustratingly slow. I like to think better of my Jedi powers.
But, since then, I do get the desire to shoulder-check the door to pop it off the tracks - so I can use it as a swing door. I got good at doing it when I’d do cart returns.
My old town had stop lights that were timed nearly perfectly if you went the speed limit. Only exception was when they were resetting from an emergency vehicle passing (or pedestrian).
I would wave my hand and mutter some Jedi stuff at it and it would change. People still gunned it from one light to get stopped at the next…
Wait, there are people who don’t? J/k but I like to pretend to kick the air as if I’m kicking a door open/down. I get looks, and I’m okay with that.
I do it on elevator doors.
