I have a serious problem with this...

There is an empty soda can sitting on the table next to me and I just got a new one out of the fridge... I put the new one on the floor but I kept grabbing the one on the table. So, I switched it up and put the new one on the table because that's the one I kept going for but then I started grabbing for the one on the floor =/

Does anyone else do stuff like that? all the time LOL!

All the time. I'm doing it right now in fact. I have to write something and I'm using teh compy for research. I'm supposed to use pencil but I keep grabbing the pen. I'm not allowed to move the pen off the desk. It's sacred...I guess. I just keep losing them if I move them...

I'm confused, I thought that you where 38, because in the 'How old are you' you said that you where 38.

^^ that is my excuse for the following:
-loosing my keys on a daily basis
-forgetting where i put my phone
-washing jeans with stuff in pockets by accident
-opening a tin of rice pudding instead of peach slices and only realising when i taste it (yes i even pick up the spoon instead of a fork and eat it before i notice)
-not being about to count like 8+477 when i am an A* maths student
-Saying thingy alot or whatitsname (which makes my english teacher laugh i think shes scared actually)
-forgetting crap
-daydreaming and not realising until i snap out of said day dream.
-the list goes on... i have very little common sence apparently

I do the same thing. And then someone will point it out, and I will invariably say "But that's far too easy!"

i do stuff like that... i keep on using a knife as a fork, sometimes when the bathroom light is on, i turn it off thinking that i have switched it on. Also, I go thingymagika or watdjyacallit. My geography and German books are exacly the same, i sometimes i take my German book when i have geography. I also have beign renowned as beign clumsy.

I'm constantly forgetting things, and doing silly stuff. It gets really annoying after a while. Kind of funny in a way, but still annoying.

:lol: I had a similar experience with a paragraph I was copying out from the comp. I kept erasing it and rewriting it and then erasing it again. In the end I rewrote it. The exact same thing. I had some pretty thin paper.

Yesterday I was going to have a piece of bread with melted cheese. So I sliced the bread and put it in the microwave. Then I was like, oh, maybe I should put the cheese on first. So I looked in the fridge and my mom had used up all the cheese earlier, so I decided to have toast with jam instead.

:lol:

Ive done tons of funny stuff like that. I think the funniest was putting my school book in the kitchen cupboard and carrying food to my room. :P

^^ :lolol:

Ah, where to begin...

I'm really stupid (as everyone knows, I'm sure), so I do things like that. It comes naturally. Like when I had a dog treat in one hand and a chip in the other, and I tryed eating the dog treat, but I realized it was a dog treat when it was half-way into my mouth, so I took it out, ate the chip, got another chip, tryed to eat the fricken dog treat again, I mean, GOSH!!!

I once put the teapot in the fridge where i'd got the milk from and the milk on the counter where the teapot usually lives.

Ok, so the silly part is that last night my mom was looking for the cheese. She said she hadn't used it up. She found it in the butter compartment. I guess somebody else had been absent minded too!!!:lolol:

I look for glasses that are on my head, hairbows wrapped around my wrists, socks that are in my hands (I was actually holding them in my hand, and didn't realize it. ???) The list of stuff I do is endless.

I do that too!! Once, I got a Klondike bar (ice cream bar for those who don't know) out of the freezer and something else caught my attention. Then I couldn't remember where I put my bar down at... but I hadn't put it down at all!! Here I am wondering where it was, and I could feel the coldness in my hands, but it just didn't register LOL!

I do that too! Or, trying to get the milk out, I'll open the pantry.

I'll look for ponytail holders that are around my wrist (I usually put them on my left wrist, so I guess I assume the weight there is my watch...)
