Do you walk into a room and foget what you are doing?
 
Yes, that happens to me sometimes. Like today it happened to me 2 times.

Medli February 25th, 2010 2:38 PM

Ugh. I hate it when that happens. It happens constantly to me as well because my mind moves really fast and its very spastic. I may think to myself, "Oh. I need a pen." Then I'll go downstairs immediately and as soon as I make it down there, I'll already have forgotten what I was doing. Then I'll go upstairs and end up yelling something like, "D'OH. THE PEN."

I also get distracted easily. I'll end up going downstairs and talking to someone, then I'll forget the pen again. Yeah. I hate moments like that, but I really should be used to them.

All. The. Time. Captian Hobo.

alisaie February 25th, 2010 2:55 PM

All the time!

Usually happens at least one every few days, perhaps even more. =3=; Tends to happen when I go into my room, stand there for a moment, come out, then go 'OH WAIT I WENT IN THERE FOR SOMETHING. What was it again?'

♣Gawain♣ February 25th, 2010 3:24 PM

Mostly. Especially if I'm stressed out and hungry.

Cheesymitten February 25th, 2010 3:28 PM

Urgh all the time..
It's so annoying, I go downstairs and then just stand there for 2 minutes thinking "what the hell am I doing here?"
I just wish I was as bright as everyone else in this world..
It's partly why I stay in my room a lot I'd rather not just go downstairs for no reason just for forgetting what I was doing..

Quite frequently, and it's beyond frustrating. "Okay, I know I needed to come in here for something but what was it...?"

Even more frustrating is when you leave, and 30 seconds later you finally remember :/

Klippy February 25th, 2010 3:38 PM

I forget to do homework when I walk into any room. So I guess that applies. Otherwise, no.

Ayselipera February 25th, 2010 3:38 PM

Once in a while it happens. Especially if while I enter the room my mind goes off into a different thought. It's not something that happens all to often though.

Honest February 25th, 2010 5:01 PM

Oh my goodess, this happens to me at least two times everyday! It is annoying as hell. :' (

Synaesthesia February 25th, 2010 5:49 PM

Hahaha, yeah that happens to me sometimes. It's hilarious, I love it. but also kinda annoying cause then I wanna remember what I wanted to do. XD

Sarah Paliner February 25th, 2010 5:53 PM

Often times, I don't even need to be in a new room. I forget what I was about to do/am doing as soon as I start to do it.

ArcanineOod February 25th, 2010 6:01 PM

Sometimes. Not very often, but sometimes. It is most irritating. =/

xX

SonicThrust February 25th, 2010 6:53 PM

This happens to me all the time, especially when I'm tired or just not thinking. It even happens on the computer sometimes. I'll open something and then forget what I wanted to do with it.

Lt_Nite February 25th, 2010 8:19 PM

Like everyone else I do too, and it's sooooo annoying especially when I need to go upstairs, I go up, forget, go back down and remember then need to go back upstairs.

Sammi February 25th, 2010 8:24 PM

Since I am stupidly absent-minded, yes, a lot. It happens most often at work.

Me: I need something from the back!
*goes to the back, gets distracted by something shiny*
Me: Crap, what was I here for again?

It happens at least once a day, more on busier days. :( Really, I'm at risk the second I walk away from what I'm doing to get something else.

Cherrim February 25th, 2010 10:25 PM

I do this all the time omg.

It doesn't even have to be walking into a new room and forgetting. I know just today I thought of a site I wanted to visit and a split second later after opening a new tab, I'd already completely forgotten what I'd intended to do. (I remembered it about 10 minutes later.)

But yeah, this is something that happens to me on a daily basis. I'm really scatterbrained sometimes which sucks because I never used to be.

Dukey February 25th, 2010 10:28 PM

I definately joined a Facebook group of this xD

But yes, quite a lot, I just randomly stop what I'm doing and am like, 'wait what?'
Takes me a couple of seconds to recall usually, gets pretty confusing when I don't remember xD

Opaque February 25th, 2010 10:34 PM

LOL, this happens alot to me as well - almost as often me forgetting where I put something... >_>

Searn February 25th, 2010 10:40 PM

all the time... all the time...

I DO THIS ALL THE TIME! I think of something I just have to look up, and I rush off to Wikipedia to do so... and suddenly and totally forget (usually thanks to a distraction) about what I was going to search for.

And I very rarely remember it. >:

As for walking into a room and forgetting what I was about to do, this'll happen on a rare occasion. However... I can't remember the last time I did this... hm!

The same thing happens to me. xD

Also, sometimes I'll walk into one room when I was meaning to walk into another.

Tekno-Kanix February 26th, 2010 6:34 AM

I am doing this more and more. I will get up and go into another room or go upstairs and when I get there I have forgotten what I went there for. Sometimes I remember ten minutes later. I also sometimes open a drawer or cupboard and forget what I was looking for.

Alakazam17 February 26th, 2010 7:13 AM

This happens to me sometimes, usually due to my being distracted by someone or something else. But I soon remember what I was originally doing, like 99.9% of the time. ^_^

My short term memory sucks, but after a few minutes my long term memory kicks in, and that's better. :P

Kikaito plush February 26th, 2010 10:14 AM

Yea it happens quite a lot to me and Curtis it is very annoying too
