Do you also suffer from Location Specific Recurring Thoughts?

Surely I am not the only person in the world that has this happening to him?
I am in the shower, washing my hair (always exactly when I rinse the shampoo out), and there it pops up; the thought in this case, “How would ‘Jeanie’ be doing right now?”
I am washing the dishes, and there it comes; the thought in the dish wash case, “I wonder if I can find that radio documentary about that Dutch inventor that created a way that could hold dozens of movies on a dice sized device?” (Mind you, that docu aired in about the end of the nineties)
Do you also ‘suffer’ from this weird thing, the Location Specific Recurring Thoughts?
Where/when, and what?

I do that all the time. In my bed when I wake up in the morning, when I hit the office and sit down, and when I leave the office.
Every morning when I get out of bed I have the same thought, “I have to pee now.”
@janbb Disregard that. I’m not going to say it.
No, not really like that. When there was a chance I might be alone for my birthday my sister wanted me to drive up to my hometown. I had to tell her that would make me sad because I would miss my mom. I can’t go back there without thinking of my mom but that’s not near as random as you are describing.
Yep. It seems like whatever action I’m doing is the same action I had the first time I came across whatever it is that I’m thinking about. Say I’m opening a can of soda and something on TV catches my attention right at that moment, I’ll think about that thing every time I open a can of soda for at least the next several days. Almost like an ear worm. I’m glad it doesn’t seem to last forever. Ear worms are bad enough, I don’t need never-ending mind worms, too!
Whenever I take a dump I think of fluther, only joking…it’s good for morale y’know :-)
