I am constantly looking for things I should know where they are or have just seen too. It drives me crazy. I am always walking in a room and wonder why I am there

This thread makes me feel wonderful! I have done so many of these things many times. The one about dropping something and trying to catch it I never do if I am at working selling knives. I learned to jump. How about calling someone and dialing someone else number that you know?

I'm loving all these responses! A variation of #8 is when I dig around in my purse for something, and realize a few minutes later I'm still digging and haven't found what I'm looking for.....cause I forgot what I was looking for! LOL. OK, this usually only happens if I go digging while in the middle of a conversation. So you see, its the other person's fault for distracting me! Right?

Here’s another funny story. I was sitting with my boss in his office. We were having an intense discussion about a serious problem we were trying to deal with and he said, “I’ve got to get Joe on a conference call so we can discuss it with him!” He starts dialing and after a few seconds I see the number being displayed and I realize that he is dialing his calculator. I didn’t say anything (I didn’t know what to say) and a few more seconds went by and then we both burst out laughing. I said to him that now I know why he never returns my calls!

Wow...I fit into a lot of those catagories. Here's one along the lines of Hukdon's number 16: You lie down for a nap and sleep for a few hours. You wake up and the clock says 6:00 or whatever, and you jump up running around thinking your late for work and wondering why the sun is up at this hour. Turn the TV on and wonder why that show is on at this time of day. Then you realize it's PM instead of AM.

Guilty of most of the above, including dialing my calculator, but this morning something new...I got distracted (therefore, Whoami, it was definitely someone else's fault) and poured water into the coffee maker twice... one pot on top of the other...lovely soggy mess all over the counter.

#8 variation: like when DH opened the refrigerator and turned to me with the funniest look on his face. "Is there a reason your bobby pins are in here?"

Supergranny LOL! How about forgetting about the time change? Once we went to church and no one was there yet. We could not figure out what was wrong until an hour later when people started to arrive.

OK, I think I have you all beat now..... Tonight I was washing a couple of pans to use for dinner (I was lax, and hadn't washed the "hand dishes" the night before, so I had to wash a couple of pans out to use again). So....I'm running the kitchen faucet over the pan, having squirted soap on the wash cloth, and then started scrubbing vigorously at a determined piece of stuff in the pan that didn't want to come off. As I continue scrubbing the one spot, I notice the water coming out of the faucet is getting too hot. So...I start scrubbing more frantically so I can get the piece of dirt off before the water (still running over my hands on its way to the pan) got too hot and scalded my hands. After a couple of seconds with the water getting hotter and hotter coming out of the faucet (and my scrubbing harder and faster while holding my hands under the faucet), it finally dawned on me that I could remove my hands out from under the faucet, adjust the temperature, and then continue to scrub in comfort. I'm hopeless I tell ya....hopeless! Of course.....Mom woke me up this morning to come help her get back in bed (from off the floor). Seems she was dreaming she was swimming....and swam right off the bed! She's ok (which is why we can laugh now). Just a bit bruised on the arm.

<looks up-thread to see what number was the last official number....> OK, here's another one! I just had to when I was driving home from the store yesterday. The guy in the truck ahead of me did the very same thing in the very same spot in the road that I've done on numerous occasions..... #18. Turn your blinker on to go around a curve in the road! Oh, and I've dialed my calculator too!

LOL Whoami, about your mom's dream! (Glad she's okay, btw,) When I was a little kid at sleep-away camp, I slept on the top bunk, I dreamt I was falling and then I woke up with a big thud on the floor. Ouch!

I've done a variation on Jagger's a few times. I have pointed the remote keyless entry for my car at the front door of my apartment.
