    Yes, but not having to start the next morning.  I usually just begin again until I finish.  This happens to me most often when I'm crocheting and casting on loops.  If I do it when the financial news comes on or when the weather comes on, I lose track when they start with their numbers and have to count how many I already have.

      . . . one hundred thirty-six thousand twelve tildes, one hundred thirty-six thousand thirteen tildes, one hundred thirty-six thousand fourteen tildes, one hundred thirty-six thousand fifteen tildes, one hundred thirty-six thousand sixteen tildes, one hundred thirty-six thousand seventeen tildes, one hundred thirty-six thousand eighteen tildes . . .

       I believe it depends on the importance of the item or items being counted. It doesn’t happen with me very often, though.

    You must like to take the time to touch each and every one of those tildes.. eh? I would just weigh one tilde then divide that into the net tonnage of the whole truckload; be so much easier, wouldn't it?

      You are clearly NOT a student of the fine art and exact science of advanced theory of tilde care and management, did are you? Blasphemer.

      And to think that I was seriously considering hiring you as my chief purchasing consultant for the Canadian tilde market. I’m glad I saw your true colors before making the offer. Dodged that bullet! Grrrrrrrr.

    I used to work at a factory. We would always try to make our line partner lose count when she was packing.  We would shout out different numbers, it was always great went they were almost at the end and they lost it.  

    We were graveyard shift so sometimes, yes it would be the next morning. 

    I made myself count by 3s went packing...it slowed me down just enough so I could keep the count.    Those were fun times. :) This post was edited by my2cents at February 15, 2022 5:52 AM MST
