I’m constantly pulling up the sleeves of a long-sleeved shirt. I get careless every time and end up punching myself in the chest. I should have learned my lesson by now.
I also always wait until the last second to go to the bathroom. I could save myself a lot of time doing the pee-pee dance if I’d just get out of bed or off my butt and get to the bathroom.
I always wait until the very LAST MINUTE to stop and get gas. Aughh I hate pumping but I hate other people pumping for me even more…
I never remember to blow out my candle when I leave the room.
I never remember to delete my internet history (damn paranoid parents… I’m not buying drugs on the internet, ok?? Leave my history alone!)
Oh, and I always insert a “D” into the middle of the word “tragedy”. I don’t mean the right D, I mean like TRADGEDY. Every time. And I’m a good speller otherwise! You’d think I would have gotten the hang of the word by now…
I frequently park my car too close to something which means I nearly half myself in three trying to get out of it … :smack:
I have been known to forget to flush toilets after doing a Number 2 :o
I look after my elderly/disabled parents and will ask my Dad if he wants a cup of tea, then forget to make it, or make it and forget to give it to him … :wally
When mailing off bill payments I’ll either forget to insert the check or the statement, or I’ll forget to ensure the address shows through the envelope. Once the envelope is sealed there’s no easy way to open it again without tearing it all to hell. I’ve done this enough times and gotten pissed off enough over it that one would think that I’d learn to double check these things. It’s what I get for usually being in a hurry when I get ready to mail bills.
That commercial on TV. Romantic setting inside some living room, soft music, and kettle whistling. No matter how many times I saw it, every time I jumped up to get the kettle. Every. Time.
I put stuff off to the last minute, then screw it up somehow.
I leave dirty dishes laying around, knowing that one of my cats will find it and lick it clean, especially the one that’s on a special diet and is hungry all the time.
I put something in a place where I know I’ll find it later, then can’t ever find it. Is that dumb or just forgetful? 'cause if it’s forgetful I I I oh well I forgot what I was going to say.
I put the remote control to the TV in my lap, then get up and it clatters to the concrete floor.
I go to parties or people’s houses, sit on the couch and have the cell phone fall out of my pocket. Then someone happens to notice and hands me the phone (some day I’m not going to be so lucky).
I try to go to bed early, but get bored and talk to friends on AIM. I then lose track of time, go to bed late, and begin the cycle again with sleep deprivation the next day at work.
This is the proverbial safe place. I never put anything in a “safe place” anymore. I put things in a logical place. Putting something in a safe place is a guarantee I will never see it again.
Sometimes I think you must have been me in another life.
I consistently post to threads without thinking through whether I’m going to have the interest, time, or energy to maintain a proper level of involvement.
I put my keys in my pocket, then grab grocery bags or my laundry bag or whatever, then when I get to the door I realize I have to switch everything to the other hand to get my keys.
