I was in the library today and saw a book entitled "We Want Miles," and my first thought was "of course we do; I'm earning a lot fewer now that DL bases RDMs on ticket price..." It took a second before I realized that it was a book about Miles Davis, and the title refers to one of his albums.
My excuse was that it was early in the morning, but I had been at that counter multiple times previous 7 days that I had no clue where I was going this time.

Air Canada check-in agent asked me where I was going, and I said "San Francisco". She looked confused but it took me a full 60 seconds to realize my mistake

LOL! I actually find that I lose weight on the road, even in premium travel. I think it's not so much the flight or the lounges, it's the fact that I don't snack. I sometimes idly eat at home..but never on the road. Some days I am so busy I skip breakfast and my lunch is a measly sandwich. After a week of this I find I have usually dropped a few pounds.

1. When you try to swipe your airline membership card in a subway turnstile.
2. When your first thoughts when clothes-shopping are "how much does that shirt / dress / pair of pants / socks" weigh, and how will it look crushed?
3. When your phone and tablet have more than three clocks/time zones running, and you get weather alerts from multiple continents.

I can't believe people have came close to this, but not said it yet:
When you're going through customs and border control, they ask you where have you been and how long have you been gone for... you just stand there thinking about it for a good 15-30 seconds... Cue the secondary inspection!
My other personal favourite were:
1. I was driving down the highway, heading to the book store, when I accidentally exited, parked at the airport, and started walking towards the check-in. The only clue that made me realize the situation was the fact I wasn't dragging a carry-on behind me.
2. Wake up in the middle of the night wondering if I'm still in Zürich, Amsterdam, or none of the above.
3. Realize you have another trip in a couple days, but you still haven't unpacked from your previous one.
