He could see a shopping center w/ a Walmart & a Best Buy where he could buy another one. Hell, he could probably see 50 shopping centers w/ a Walmart & a Best Buy where he could buy one; trouble is they were all a planet away.
my first reaction is, I dunno anymore,
my serious reaction after some thought is, ummmmm, probably the paperwork at the customer’s house at 1030 pm, maybe, memory isn’t the same as it was.
ETA and I’m not admitting to the true most serious biggest forgetting, statute of limitations hasn’t run out yet.
Back in the days when VCRs were still in active use and were a valuable piece of equipment, I once picked mine up from the repair shop and took the bus home only to realize that I didn’t have the VCR with me. It turned out that I had left it sitting on top of the newspaper box at the bus stop. I’m fairly certain that is the biggest thing I ever forgot. Fortunately, I was eventually able to retrieve it.
Last month I forgot a dog. I take our three to work each day. I was heading home at 3 pm and I guess I was distracted. Ella and Loki had jumped up into the back of my Wrangler. Kali, our GSD must have walked off to pee. I drove home.
When I opened the Jeep’s tailgate only two dogs jumped out. I actually stuck my head into the vehicle, thinking a 100 pound dog was hiding somewhere. I drove back to work and there was Kali, sitting and waiting patiently.
Was there a “fine” for being late? When my daughter was in daycare a late pick-up was a huge deal. The fine was by the minute (a couple dollars a minute IIRC). I was never late, but there were parents who paid hefty fines weekly. If you refused to pay you were told not to come back.
When I was in Rome, I spent an entire day photographing the Roman Forum and the Coliseum. Before heading back to the hotel, I stopped at the Trajan Column to rest my feet and change film. I took off my backpack and put it on the bench next to me. After changing film, I got up and went on my way. It wasn’t until I needed something in my backpack that I realized I’d left it at Trajan’s Column. I returned to it and of course it was gone, I checked out the trash containers in the vicinity, and of course spent the following morning at the police, to no avail. I had lost my glasses, camera lenses, and all the photos I had taken that day.
On the day of my dad’s funeral, I either forgot to set the alarm, or I set it for the wrong time. We had all been drinking the night before at my brother’s house after the viewing which probably didn’t help much. I woke up in a panic, told my not yet husband to dunk his head in the shower and I started throwing clothes on. I called my one sister who we were picking up while throwing my skirt on. I was inconsolable. I had a very difficult time with his death and I kept saying, how could I disrespect him like this, and the rest of the family will have my ass in a sling. It turned out, we were there in plenty of time, but I really beat myself up about it for quite some time afterwards. So, it wasn’t something I forgot to take, just something I forgot to do and it haunted me.
My son and I were going to an out of town hockey tournament over a long weekend. I took out extra cash (from the bank) for the trip. We then stopped at WalMart for some road trip snacks. I then proceeded to the gas station to fill up the car. It was then that I realized I left my purse in the WalMart cart in the parking lot! Luckily it was still there when I went back for it.
My family draws names for Christmas gifts. I drew my 14-year-old nephew. He made it clear he only wanted cash because he was saving up for something. My plan was to put his money gift in a card. On Christmas Eve we were all gathered together and like we always do, we took turns opening our gifts. When it came time for my nephew to open his, he sat there looking around waiting for his gift. It then dawned on me that I had forgotten his gift!!!:eek: I felt so bad. I still feel awful just thinking about it. I grabbed my purse, took money from my wallet and wrapped it in some tissue paper that was on the floor and handed it to him. We all had a laugh, my nephew included, but I still felt sick to my stomach. UGH
Just last Friday, I used the WalMart self-checkout. I paid with my debit card and asked for $60 in cash. Saturday evening I opened my wallet and noticed I had no cash! I thought for a moment and came to the conclusion that I forgot to take the $60 out of the money slot at the checkout. I went back to WalMart Sunday to inquire about it, thinking that it was a lost cause and that the person behind me had a $60 windfall. But to my shock and amazement, they had it for me!!
I forgot to drop my daughter off at school one morning. She was reading in the backseat, and I usually don’t drop her off. I pulled out of the driveway facing the opposite direction and headed to work. I was a couple minutes from work when my daughter piped up, “Shouldn’t we be going to school?”
I’ve probably forgotten other important things, but I’ve forgotten that I’ve forgotten them.
