Get the retrospectoscope mug.The (usually rose-colored) glasses which one views the past. Viewing through retrospectacles causes one to overlook past problems or disasters and remember only the good aspects. Thus, retrospectacles are often the device which allows one to intentionally repeat the same ill-advised course of action.
Adam: "I know she cheated on me the last 5 times we got together, but we had some really good times too. Maybe this time will be different, I think I'll give her a call"
Bob: "Adam you idiot, put down the phone and take off your retrospectacles"

While driving down the road, Aerosmith's Sweet Emotion came on the radio and I retroflected back to Prom Night.
Cartoon retroflection causes me to sing the Banana Splits' song "tra la la," while it may cause my older son to sing "Scooby Dooby Doo, where are you," and my middle son to sing, "GO GO Power Rangers," and my youngest to sing "Sponge Bob Square Pants.....Sponge Bob...Square Pants!"

Get the retrospecter mug.A more common memory or cognitive bias is rosy retrospection, which is the tendency to remember and recollect events more favorably than when they occurred. It is related to the popular idiom “to see through rose-colored glasses.” So it is basically remembering the past as more positive than it was in reality.
Remember how when we worked in the shipping/receiving department at Menards and we would get in 6 DC trucks a day, then we would get Jeldwen with 200 windows, then we would get a garage door truck, and then appliances would come and we would have to put away fifty appliances in the racks with the Joe. Buliding materials would write picking tickets for stuff that was right in front of their desk. So we would have to walk all the way there then all the way back to door 10 with the stuff. Every customer that needed help would say they are injured so they need us to load up their stuff while they watch. We would get fucked so hard every day and then they would nominate the team member of the week and it would always be someone from the sales floor that didn't have to get fucked as hard as we did. Man, those were the good old days!
Dude, isn't that rosy retrospection
