When I need to do this, it's portraying a state of confusion and not just the character being confused by some fact or short lived situation. (I'm not sure from the post which is the goal). That's rather easily done in stream of consciousness sort of writing as the character's thoughts jump around like crazy and emotions flare. "I needed to get dog food and why am I suddenly thinking about the gold fish I had in third grade? Now I'm angry--enraged by memories I couldn't banish and wasn't there something I was supposed to be doing and..." etc.

From the outside perspective actions stop making sense and mistakes are made. "Hey dude, you just ran a red light. WTH man?"
