Experimental blindnessI decided to see if I could keep walking in a straight line, if I kept my eyes closed. After a few false tries (kept panicking and opening my eyes, thinking I was veering to the left) I got a bit cocky, and decided to do 100 paces. Which ended almost very badly as I suddenly found myself face down in the road, having wandered to the left and fallen off the curb. Luckily no cars were going past, but my dignity took a bruising from other pedestrians.
Did I learn? Nope. Did the same thing a short while later on my bike: veered into the pavement, fell off, got laughed at again. I now no longer try to go from place to place with my eyes shut.

...I used to do that regularly on the way back home from school to ease the tedium. If I didn't bottle it after 20 paces or so I usually ended up in a hedge. Fun times...
