All of the time! It's such a weird sensation knowing that I went to somewhere to get something or wanted to do something next, then forgot. I usually backtrack or stare intensely at the area... nope, forgot why i went into the kitchen, it'll come to me later OH SCISSORS yes I needed this to cut the tags off my new shirt aaa

I do this a lot because my memory is just the worst.
Like I'll go to the kitchen for coffee but completely forget and just grab cookies instead.

It's not so much that I'm forgetful, it's just that my attention is easily diverted. When that's coupled with my unrivaled ability to tunnel in on whatever I'm doing, I'll go into the kitchen to eat lunch, see that the tv is on, watch whatever show my roommate is watching, and then return to my room. And no, I won't have lunch that day, because I won't remember that I'm hungry.

Today I walked into the kitchen to get something and before I even made it all the way in...I forgot what I was doing. I used to have such a sharp memory too and now it seems like I am the most forgetful person that I know.
I do this like 3 times a day. It's always the kitchen too.

I'm so forgetful sometimes I actually get worried that something isn't right.

Pretty much all the time. :( I sometimes think something, then forget a second later. Life is strange sometimes.

I've heard that this happens because we are all Sims in a player's game, and when they cancel our last action we just stand in a room all confused and forget what we were about to do

I've done this with drinks a bunch of times. Specifically my water cups, this doesn't tend to happen with other kinds of drinks...

> Go into kitchen with the intent of grabbing water
> Ooo, let's grab this random thing as a snack/let's check something quickly
> Sit back down at desk
> Realize I'm missing something, that is I'm still missing THE WATER I MEANT TO GRAB
> If I'm especially bad that day, this could repeat itself at least once. Or twice. Let's not talk about that though please.

But yeah, then there are times when I tell myself to go do/grab something, and I know I'll forget it once I leave the room because of that whole thing with doorways. In that case I just repeat it back to myself a few times and hope that it doesn't slip my mind entirely once I pass the threshold.

That's my life. I go to get a drink or something and I end up doing something else completely. It doesn't help that I'm forgetful as all hell, too. I usually forget that I've missed something for a while, too.

You have NO idea. I have seriously gone into a room and completely forgotten what I was about to do. Even worse, I usually don't remember what it was. :c It drives me insane! Even worse than THAT is when you go to a grocery store for something, and you come back with a bunch of stuff... EXCEPT what you really need. O_____O Then, when you get home you're like "OH MUK I FORGOT THE MILK". lol

It has happened so many times I'm starting to question my actual age.

So you're telling me that we're all just Sims in God's Sims game?

I hate when this happens. I have even been looking for something driving myself nuts only to realize it was right in front of me. lol

It is like you know you were going somewhere for something, but you don't remember then you end up doing something else and BAM! it hits you lol
