Bad Examples of Multi-tasking
Some things go hand-in-hand. Love and marriage. Peanut butter and jelly. Even peanut butter and chocolate.
In an effort to get things done and manage our time, we multi-task. And sometimes we take it to an extreme.

For example, is it really necessary to take (or make) a call while going to the bathroom? Yet I’ve seen guys standing at the urinal while talking on their phones. If you make this a practice, do you flush?

I was in a store a few days ago. The woman behind the counter was vacuuming while she talked on the phone. I just don’t know how you combine those two tasks effectively.

Can you walk and text at the same time?
We’ve all heard about texting while driving. Well apparently, there’s been an outbreak in emergency rooms of people who were texting while walking. They’re missing the step off the curb and falling into cracks. And they end up needing medical treatment.
Maybe the old question, “can you walk and chew gum at the same time”, needs to be revised!
Cruise control isn’t automatic pilot!
Unfortunately, this next one is also a true story. A woman purchased a new Winnebago. On her first trip down the road, she set the cruise control in her new motor home. Then she left the driver’s seat and went to the back to make herself a sandwich. Needless to say the vehicle crashed. Winnebago now includes instructions in their owner’s manual to explicitly warn against this form of multi-tasking!
Tossing the salad
Our favorite example, though, is the Seinfeld episode where Kramer installed a garbage disposal in his shower. He loved to shower, but it took up too much time. So he started multi-tasking. Among other things, with the disposal installed, he found he could make dinner while he showered.
Once his dinner guests found out how their dinner had been prepared, they nearly tossed their salad!
What bad multi-tasking examples can you think of?
