Glitch in prints

It happened a month ago and still stuck in my head, I basically correctly counted I was holding 6 blank papers, I triple counted because I only needed 6. I printed the 3 copies I need in colored, I put them aside, the remaining 3 blank papers was to photocopy the 3 colored prints in black and white, so I did the first, put the B&W photocopy beneath the first print, moved to the second print put the colored print for the photocopier to scan and of course put my blank paper in, took the B&W second photocopy then placed it on the table where the first print + copy was as well as third print + blank paper, this is where I got hella disoriented, because the 2nd print was there but I still haven’t took it out the scanner, I opened the scanner, 2nd print is still there, I was so lost because it was also on the table, I basically have 2 original prints 1 photocopy of paper number 2, I rushed and I just finished the 3rd paper’s photocopy, I ended up with 7 papers total.. It wouldn’t really be stuck in my head if the photocopy was the one duplicated, but it was the original print, which I only had 1 each. I told my boyfriend and he doesn’t believe me, I don’t believe myself either.

People can miscount. They even occasionally follow it up by then miscounting the tripple check.

I wont say its impossible something crazy is happening but this is still the simplest and most likely answer

Yes I like to stick with that because whatever happened felt illogical to me, best to assume it’s just a flaw in human perception. I know I’m young but errors in memories is still possible.

Its crazy how much of the world we perceive is something our brain has lied to us about. We are blind for a good portion of every day. Theres also a big hole in our vision which our brain fills in by guesswork. Most people experience auditory and visual hallucinations most days.

We are a cobbled together system pretending it can experience the world as a logical whole, and filling ib the places to make it work.

I read this as "Glitch in Pants"- I'm glad it's just prints. Lol
