I knew I had that habit, but this is a little silly.

Being laid up for now, I have to make some accommodations to everyday life. I’m severely restricted in how much I can bend, twist, and reach. So, to pick dropped items and reach, I have a cute little grabby extender (thanks, Rita and Jimmy): long shaft with a squeeze grip on one end, and a rubber tipped claw on the business end. This morning, I noticed what I was doing with it.

Yes, I automatically indexed my finger along the “frame.” I’ve been doing that with anything with an even vaguely pistol-grip for decades: drills, handsaws, whatever.

But a grippy/reacher? Seems a bit ridiculous, but there I am.

If you found this post useful, please consider dropping something in my tip jar. I could really use the money, what with new cell phone, ISP bills, SSL certificate, and general life expenses.Click here to donate via PayPal.
