GET ME A BRAIN | ADHD Information

this is sooo embarrassing - but the worst thing i did was -----

I left my boy when he was 2 at the school in the class room with his older sister, when I got home I remembered i had left him there and went back and got him.  The teacher was laughing at me - I bet the staff room had a great old laugh at my expense

Now I can have a  good laugh too.

Hi Rae70, I have the same problem. I try to take extra money with me, you know just in case and still be short! Than make up some dumb excuse. That happend so much that now i always carry my credit or ATM card.

Last week i went to the market for bread & a bottle of soda. I grabbed the bread, than i heard someone yell out " Miss,you forgot your soda"! I felt soooo dumb.My husband said "Ranza, you would loose your a**hole if it weren't attached"! I felt like crying, but I just pictured someone calling me back to claim that & i coulden't stop laughing.

On a serious note, I get very sick of "being me" and knowing I will never feel "normal". Also, do you ever feel like ppl are laughing at you, not with you?

A ha!  You mean that is one of the ADD symptoms?!?  I do stuff like this all the time (like buying stuff and walking off without my change etc).  I feel so much better.

I went to the store the other day to get something, ordered from the deli, went to checkout with my groceries, actually remembered to tell them to ring my deli order up, took some of my things out to the car and helped the bag boy load stuff he carried out. I went in for my deli order and while I was waiting for it, the bag boy come up to me and remind me that I hadn't paid for any of it!  I totally overlooked that little detail. Fortunately its a small town and a small store so they knew me and didn't just call the cops.

I am always forgetting to wait for my change or calling a store to see if I left a bag there. I hate the ones where they put your stuff on that turntable rack! I leave things there all the time and those stores are many miles away from where I live.

I forgot my name on an oral exam in high school. I thought I was going to die right then and there. Need a brian? We can share. I only use mine about half the time. Crikeys, I go shopping, I didnt have enough money at the checkout - luckily a mum from school was behind me she lent me 15 dollars, then when I go to the butcher - I leave the meat on the counter and leave and have to go back.  GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR I am so sick of me sometimes.  LOL I have actually gotten a ton of groceries, paid for them and then walked away with out the cart. Usually the little guy who bags them is always chasing me down telling me I forgot my groceries! LOL :o)

Here is my laugh of the week:

I went to the store, got back in the car to go home and the car wouldn't start.  Tried everything I could think of.  Cell phone battery was dead.  I had to ask to use the phone in the store to call my husband.  After listening to a lengthy description of the problem, he asked "is the car in PARK?"  Of course it wasn't!

OMG! the SAME THING HAPPENED TO ME!!!

i left work one afternoon and i tried to start my car in vain several times and i was so upset b/c my car , a fairly new one, had never given me trouble at all...i went back into the bldg and asked the guys to come out and help me out

oh yessss

i could never live that one down....they could NOT stop laughing about that one. geez!

Here's one!

When I was a teen, I went to a party in the boonies. I got in my trunk for something when someone told me I had left my key in the ignition and they had locked the doors without realizing it. I had borrowed the car for an errand and was not supposed to be there so I was freaking out, totally panicked!

After I don't know how long it was pointed out to me that I had used the key to get in the trunk. I started to calm down when someone asked me if I had locked the keys in the trunk. I freaked out again. Finally one of them handed me my keys so I could leave.

Everyone who knew me thought it was hilarious to play tricks like that on me because I never knew what I was doing 3 seconds after I did it.

Well I just got back from shopping (I had a shopping list) and I forgot to buy the sausages we were planning to cook for lunch - back to the shops again!!!!
