Ok, so this is a new one for me. This afternoon my brother and sister in law dragged me out for a day of shopping and most of the day went all right (meaning that at no point during the day did either of them have to snag the back of my my shirt and go "this way" because I started wandering off aimlessly into traffic or something - which I've done before). Then we went to dinner and I really wished I had stayed home.
In the middle of a conversation about something, camera flashes started going off. At first, they were annoying and I started getting really irritated - like, beyond what would be my normal reaction to obnoxious people. After a few minutes of what felt like a techno concert (there were really that many camera flashes going off in the restaurant), my brother says I just "checked out" for about a minute. Next thing I know, I'm looking at my sister in law going "huh?" because she's asking me if I'm ok and saying something about the camera flashes really getting to me...which they must have because nothing on the menu made sense for a few seconds and when it finally did, the thought of food was really, REALLY not very interesting at all. (But hey, at least I was a cheap "date" for the evening!) And now my head hurts.
Anyway, has anyone ever had this happen, where a whole bunch of camera flashes for over a minute or two messed with you?
