I realized the "muscle memory" story which fits, also explains why
I dislike November and December, and really do not like January. I
don't like November, because after nine months of first hitting the
keys "2 0 1 8 0 " I had to remember it is "2 0 1 8 _1_ ", And of
course, after new years, I have to undo 365 days of typing "2018" and
remember to type "201_9_". But at least it was not like January 1,
2000. B-)


Then, there is when you use muscle memory instead of ordinary --
what adjective should I have used here? -- memory. I had trouble with
a banking card at an ATM, because I had changed my PIN. Unfortunately,
the ATMs had the numbers arranged one way, and the PIN setting pad had
the numbers arranged another way. (Think calculator keypad vs. phone
keypad.)
