This brings up a whole other issue, one that perhaps deserves its own thread. I’m new here, though, and wondering if there hasn’t already been a “do men like it when women ask them out” thread before.
I always remember the wrong opening time for the library and end up circling back in an hour.
Then right after I’m done and in my car I remember that I should have written down the hours while I’m here, decide (once again) that it’s okay I’ll look them up online when I get home and write them on my library card. And forget before I get home. And next time do it again.
In a buffet serving line, the silverware (often plastic) is usually at the start of the line. I remember to pick up a set about 3% of the time.
I take clothes out of washer, put them in dryer, turn it on, forget them. Next time I open the dryer the severely wrinkled clothes are still there. I turn the dryer back on to fluff them up, go upstairs and forget about them. Again. Repeat.
Trusting people to actually want what’s best, not just what’s best for them.
I say smoke it. Every.single.time.
I forget every time the trick to emptying my garden fountain to prepare it for cleaning.
I know the wide siphon tube is involved and I struggle and splash and have a hell of a time, until I remember I have to plug one end until it’s in position or air will get in and ruin the siphon.
I have an annoyingly constant tendency to forget that my physical and emotional state at a given moment is not necessarily the one I should be using to make my decisions. Like, I don’t feel like paying bills right now because I’m tired, even though they’re due tomorrow and I know that I will despise having to pay late fees. Or, if there’s a huge project at work, I’ll get so devoted to it that I won’t take five minutes to make social plans for the day its due, and then I end up sitting at home hating myself for having nothing to do. Or at parties, I avoid talking to women I might find attractive because it makes me nervous, and even though the nervousness always passes quickly and I usually end up enjoying myself. . . . You get the idea.
I keep double posting.

That’s pretty much what I do normally, not because I’m forgetting anything. “Hm, what to wear… oh, this is nice” slam dryer door, press start. 
I routinely start boiling some rice or beans, leave the kitchen temporarily, and then, within the span of 30 seconds, forget that the stove is on. I only realize my mistake when I hear the sound of the water furiously bowling over the top of the pot. The cleanup for this is an absolute mess. You’d think I would invest in a simple kitchen timer to remind myself, but somehow this slips my mind, too.
Everytime i type a word that ends in “in” i add a g at the end of it.
I work at a cemetery, and most of the calls I get are from people asking for their loved one’s plot number. They KNOW they will need to write it down, but constantly, as I’m giving them the info, I am interrupted with “Wait a minute, let me get a pen.”
This bugs me so much – I’ve ranted about it in another thread and I’m sure I will keep ranting about it (sorry in advance for that) I persist in believing that it will stop happening, but it won’t, and there is NOTHING I can do about it, short of hollering at them before I give the information, “DO YOU HAVE PEN AND PAPER???”
I have to be very sensitive and empathetic in my job, but goshamighty, it would be so cathartic to one day just go off!
