So many people forget to flip their fries halfway through cooking

Was scrolling through some air fryer groups last night and kept seeing posts about soggy fries with photos of them piled high in the basket. I've messed this up myself too, like the time I made a double batch for game day and only flipped once half the tray came out crispy while the rest was limp. Has anyone else noticed this issue or found a way to remind yourself to actually do it?

Oh man, I feel this in my bones. I've got a terrible track record with remembering to flip anything in the air fryer, not just fries. Last week I tried making some frozen chicken tenders and just set a timer on my phone that said "FLIP THEM" in all caps, and even then I almost ignored it because I got distracted by a video of a cat playing the piano.

Wait, a cat playing the piano? Like actually pressing the keys with its paws? That detail is WILD to me. I have to know if it was making actual music or just mashing keys like my cat does when she wants attention at 3am. Honestly, that distraction sounds way more entertaining than flipping chicken tenders anyway. I would have forgotten too, and then I'd just be mad at myself with a half-cooked dinner. But seriously, cats and pianos, that's a new one for me.
