I feel attacked because this is 10/10 something I’ve done to myself

One time my wife made herself jump and shriek because she ate a Doritos and it crunched really loud. In her own mouth. I've never let her forget it

That sounds like the kind of thing my bestmate and old housemate would’ve done. He regularly startled himself with his reflection in the sliding glass window.
This made me wheeze laughing after a pretty shit day, so thank you and your wife for the hilarious visual. People like her and my friend are precious and need to be protected, even if from their own reflections or chips.

All cats do. My one cat used to love tearing down the stairs at high speed and using the carpet to turn the corner into the living room. We were forced to replace the carpet, so my mom put in hardwood instead. About a week after it was installed my cat did her typical zoomies thing, tearing down the stairs, tried to take the corner hard, couldn't find her grip she was used to and slid, slaming into a kitchen counter. She got up looked around as if to say "no one saw that right? Good!" Then ran away and hid for an hour. Felt so bad for her, but man did I laugh at her expression

My cat is the "it has to be my idea" type.
Like, when she clearly wants to hop in the chair next to me, so I pat it with encouragement, and she turns her head to look over her shoulder, like, "I'm not interested anymore since you asked.."
Then, when I give up and turn away, she decides it is a good idea to hop up lol

Our/r/standardissuecat Ratchet does this to himself ALL the time. Walks into something, it makes a noise, he expresses surprise.

I do this all the time. I'll scare myself, apologize, and, sometimes, forgive

When someone is trying to flirt with you, but all they’re doing is being awkward:

I don't know, sometimes I get to understand why cats startel so easily, myself I tried to look by the side of my eyes and things seems different and I get starteled a lot when I am doing that, and if you really focusing while doing a task or just lounging completely, then you will get easily starteled,and I finally understood recently why they startel when there is hairs or tufts of hair in the floor moving with the wind and such...

Wow i played this at 0.1x speed just to see how fast the cat reacted. Even at this speed it was just one or two frames after the door touched the wall and the cat was already airborne.
