I read once that it's a deliberate action by your brain. Basically when you leave one room and go into another you have changed your environment so your brain compartmentalises the knowledge and skills needed from the previous environment in order to assess the new.
It makes more sense if you think of earlier man being in a forest and walking out of the trees into an open meadow. Suddenly a completely different set of life skills are needed for survival and safety. Well your brain thinks walking from the kitchen to your bathroom needs an awesome kick-ass Liam Neeson style set of skills and puts everything else away to assess the danger.
It's actually really cool and knowing this makes me smile instead of get annoyed when it happens lol. Thanks brain!

This was a survival instinct for me as a kid, because my mom was one of those people who liked to rearrange furniture every 4-6 weeks. You never knew where the couch was going to be.

“Survival instinct” as if moving furniture posed a serious threat to your life 😂

It was to my pinky toe, and the fact that I flopped on the couch.
