Funny..but still aggravating!!! | ADHD Information
How about showing up at school or work -both in my case- on a national holiday or weekend and wondering where everybody else is......until you realize your mistake and slink off home.
mortified, glad no one was there to see me!
dohhhh!gearhead
< =""> Heh, I've done that more than a few times. I hate wasting a perfectly good chance to sleep in. Today I went home for lunch, put my lunch in the microwave and then went back to work. Now it's just sitting there and I'm starving.
Also, today I found a big rock on my desk. Why would I have a big rock on my desk? I have no idea.
Funny...but more embarrassing! Yesterday I was 'sitting' for my friend's invalid husband. As she was leaving for a wedding shower, she yelled out, "I have my cell phone with me!" Right after she left, I frantically looked for and finally found her cell phone number written down right under my nose on the table. I called her immediately to ask for the number of where she was going to be in case of an emergency. As soon as I heard her answer her cell phone (just minutes after leaving), it finally occurred to me I didn't need the number of where she would be because she had her cell phone! I was so embarrassed.
I proceeded to assure her that Kenneth was in good hands, honestly. 
Thought I had "cleansed" myself the other night by listing all of my absent-minded but funny screw ups.
The next day I:
...put empty plastic drink cups in the refridgerator
...left my cell phone at home knowing I had to make a billion calls that day
...parked at the train station in the A.M., paid my for spot #41...returned later to find that I had parked in spot 73.
Funny, yeah, but also extremely frustrating. I actually made my wife cry a few weeks ago b/c I locked my keys in my car and needed her to come pick me up (I had screwed up a few times before that too, and she thought I was actually doing this on purpose).
I think we all have done the key thing. hehe I have my keys attached to my wallet, and I am paranoid about leaving my wallet, so my keys come with me. It helps more than you know.[QUOTE=Reizende]I think we all have done the key thing. hehe I have my keys attached to my wallet, and I am paranoid about leaving my wallet, so my keys come with me.

this is the exact reason why I own a car with the code on the door. I just punch in my little pin #, and <pop> the doors unlock....otherwise, I would be screwed ...
That's one of the only things drilled into my head...i could recite it in my sleep!!Yes, I have managed to remember my ATM pin number off by heart, and as long as I don't lose my card I won't have to change it.
Except very occasionally I get to the checkout at the supermarket and have a total mental blank and I can't think what my pin number is for the life of me. It's the worst feeling, I just want the ground to swallow me up, I feel so SILLY!
ME, TOO, Eliza! I've been using the same pin number for years for everything and anything that calls for a pin number. I only forgot it once, like you did, I just went blank. 
If I have to think about the number, forget it!
