To take another example it's the same reason when I go to a place like Subway and they ask what I want on the sandwich I simply say, "Skip the lettuce" and wait because 4 out of 5 times the dumb employee IMMEDIATELY reaches for the lettuce. But after a second or two my words tend to sink in and they stop before the lettuce hits the sandwich. Only then will I tell them to put on 'everything else'.

Also, about this...of course they reach for the lettuce. Because they ask what you want on your sandwich and the only ingredient you name is "lettuce." Do you not know how muscle memory works? It tends to be automatic. The problem in this scenario is you.
