Why do I always seem to do this? D'oh

I don't forget to drink coffee... 

Except today. Eventually I put it in the microwave to heat up. Unfortunately, I instantly forgot about that and ten minutes later started looking for my mug so that I could make coffee...

At lunchtime I decided to heat soup and opened the microwave - I was very suprised to find my mug in there, full of cold coffee... 

I'm not having the best day... 

Lol XD 

That is one of the most funny things I've ever read. Thanks for the laugh of the day! ;)

This reminds me of the days when my dad would point his key fob at his car to unlock it, and realise that in addition to unlocking his own car, the key fob had also unlocked several other cars parked close by.

Twice, I tried to unlock the wrong car; whenever I had a 2012 Citroen Hatchback.

This has made me chuckle. Although I know it's not uncommon for people to forget where they have parked their car, this is the first time I've heard of someone temporarily forgetting that they own a car. 

When I was a baby, my mother returned home from a shopping trip with a niggling feeling that she had forgotten something. It turned out to be ME. In those days, it wasn't uncommon for mothers to leave babies in their prams outside shops. Fortunately, I was still in my pram outside the shop when my mother raced back to retrieve me.

I worked at ASDA a decade ago, I was on the honey section when something tugged on my pocket, I looked down to see a tiny pixie-like five year old girl looking up at me.

It turned out the mother had brought her shopping and walked home, apparently she did it a lot, when the security guard called the mother’s landline. she picked it up. She’d walked all the way home, whilst her child, was summoning up the courage to pull on my pocket..

Jeez..

That’s not the half of it, I tell myself to remember things, only to forget a few seconds later.. I surprise myself..

When I was driving I decided to drive to the shop, got so engrossed with my shopping that I forgot the car and walked home. It was almost the end of the afternoon when my mum asked where the car was. This really happened and even now I'm not really sure how I forgot it. It was bright yellow as well. Called it the lemon and I remember my dad now sadly gone saying how did you forget the lemon you lemon! Lol

I'm not quite sure how to respond to that, but just to say that when you forget those things, I hope it isn't all on the same day. 

Yes, leaving laundry on the washing line for days is another one of my party tricks. 

If it happens to be raining when I then remember the laundry is still on the washing line, I'll just leave it there rather than bringing it in to dry. The cycle continues because it is then a case of out of sight, out of mind. In some cases, the laundry has been left on the washing line for weeks. 

This makes me feel so much better, as there have been many occasions when I have been guilty of that same thing, and it has then been a matter of washing the already-washed laundry again to get rid of the damp musty smell. 

If it's not that, then it is forgetting I have already added the laundry detergent, resulting in me needing to put the machine on for one or more rinses afterwards. 

I forget everything too!

I forget that I'm wearing my glasses and look for them. I forget that I can't see without them...

I forget where my keys are - usually in the door...

I forget where my phone is. Generally speaking, I have no idea... 

I forget what day it is - all the time..

I don't forget to drink coffee... 

You should make a list of things you're likely to forget.

Just try not to forget the list ^^

Aw I'm so sorry to hear that.

That must be really difficult for you. I don't go out much, partly from exhaustion but also because of anxiety but it doesn't often make me housebound like that.

I literally forget everything:

I forgot where I’ve put things that I currently have in my hand.

I forgot to vacuum when I have placed it in front of the TV that I am watching (it becomes part of the acceptable environment),

I forget things that are burning on the stove when I can smell it.

I forget my own name.

I forget that I was waiting for the green-man at the traffic lights.

I forget to pay shopkeepers that i am currently conversing with.

I forget that I haven’t got my glasses on even though I cant see without them.

I even forget, forgive me in advance, to wizz while im standing at the WC..

I forget that im stroking my dog, so he promptly reminds me, as he does when I forget that im supposed to give him half of my toast.

I forget to take out the rubbish, even though I obstruct the front door with it.

I cannot tell you how many coffees i have forgotten to drink..

(i never forget my bus or train stop, even if I fall/nearly-fall asleep..)

Yes I've done that too. Although it tends to be when my agoraphobia gets the better of me, rather than forgetting about it. I may have hung the washing out, something happens which causes a massive spike in my anxiety, then I can't go outside to bring it in again for several days or even weeks.

Have you had it where you leave it on the washing line for a few days? 

That happens to me on a regular basis ^^

I've had instances where I've set the washing machine to run overnight but by the next morning I'd completely forgotten about it. The (clean) damp washing was left in the machine for several days 

I am great with my washing machine. However, today, I went out to get a haircut and shave. Then it rained, while I was away.
