I've been a part of the fstdt forum here since the whole site shifted to .net. I've been posting several times a day in most sections. And today... is the first time I noticed the existence of the General Board. Self esteem -64 points.

Could this be a matter of not seeing the wood for the trees?

Don't worry about it. I once looked all over a 7-11 for a Slurpee machine that was right in front of my face. I've accidentally put my homework in the refrigerator when I was getting the orange juice out. We've all done things that seem really stupid but weren't obvious at the time.

Pfft, that's nothing. Go into a public toilet and get the liquid soap dispenser and condom vending machine confused. Then we'll talk.

How about forgetting you're wearing your glasses, can't find 'em, and frantically searching for them... only to realize that, yep, you're wearin' em. This is a near-daily occurrence for me.
Or, forgetting that you're in your *power* chair, going to lean on a wheel that *should* be *right there* (and would have been, on a manual chair), and damn near falling over/out. Or forgetting to turn the chair *on*, and then wondering why the damn thing won't move. (This is usually followed with, "Heh, it helps if I turn it on first, dunnit?"
Why is it that the most intelligent people are also the most forgetful?

I once walked around for five minutes asking where my pen was before I realized I was holding it.
I was sitting in front of the TV, adjusting it, then complaining because I left the remote on the couch (Duh, the TV has its own buttons!).
When playing pool with my friend, I called safety at the end and deliberately scratched on the 8 ball.
And my #1 stupid moment:
I learned the hard way that sealed baby bottles are Not microwavable (Umm....oops).

I once put the milk in the cupboard and the cereal in the fridge.
Once at work, I was doing the dishes, and I emptied the rice into the trashcan, scraping the pot and everything. Then I threw the pot into the trashcan, didn't even realize it, and walked away. My manager, who had seen the entire thing, came up and took it out and handed it to me.

I once made a pot of coffee, poured a cup, then put the pot in the refrigerator.
Another time, the front door bell rung. When I answered the door, the paper girl handed me a newspaper with my keys sitting on top. I had left them in the door lock.

I was making soup once. Went to strain the meat out and ended up pouring all of the stock down the kitchen sink.
I've given my dog the cat food and the cat the dog food. Dog was happy, cat was completely pissed.
Driving down the highway in the early morning, I automatically went to the school before I realized that that's not where I was going (talk about autopilot).

When I was watching my brother's cat, we had the cat and dog food side by side. Our dog loved the cat food and the cat loved the dog food.

I once got up early for school, got dressed, grabbed my breakfast, and headed out the door at 6 A.M. Then I realized it was Sunday.

Why is it that the most intelligent people are also the most forgetful? We simply can't be bothered to keep our minds on mundane things. I recognise myself in what you all say. I constantly forget my glasses when they're on my nose. I look for my welding mask, to find it on my head. My keys are in my pocket, but which pocket?

My manager, who had seen the entire thing, came up and took it out and handed it to me. There is a restaurant I like going to that has mints near the front and a spoon to take the mints out of their container. I sometimes get them after eating a meal there, and once I walked out of the place with the spoon. Fortunately I realized half a block away and went back to return it . Also, one time I had a couple friends and one of their dads over, and the five of us (those three, myself, and my mom) searched for about 10 minutes for the keys, before finding them on the table where we often leave them. Large-scale forgetfulness.

I look for my welding mask, to find it on my head. My usual trick is to forget that I'm about 8" or so taller when I flip my lid up and go to climb in or out of whatever I'm welding.

Today I've realised that my keys were on the floor of my bedroom. I've been using the spare key to get in and out of the house for the past fortnight.
