*my re-useable bag when I go to the store, plastic bag ban forces stores to charge you $0.10/bag

Yes!! This was the first thing that comes to mind. So annoying.
I always have one or two rolled up and in my purse so I can never forget. Plus, it comes in handy ALL the time in any case. Never leave the house without at least one!
I try to carry a smaller purse because I always end up schlepping around everybody else's stuff. I'm getting better about the bag thing...when the destination is the store. I don't have any when we decide to stop at the store on the way ho,me from a fair/festival or a game. I should just keep a bunch in the car.

Keeping a bunch in the trunk is better than nothing.... but when I used to do that, there would be 20 bags in the trunk out in the parking lot.... and none in the store with me.

I forget people's phone numbers now that I am a cell phone auto dial reliant idiot.

Yes, this. I can still rattle off my best friend's number from junior high, but now once it's in my phone, it's outta my brain.

Funny/sad story... A while back, seems like a different life now, I was released from jail. I was allowed a phone call for someone to pick me up, but since my cell was not charged, I didn't have anyone's number. Had to do the walk of shame all the way home.

Oh Hobbes. I'm glad you're in a better place now.

I still remember the phone numbers of my two childhood homes, and that of my very own first when I turned 14. Was the princess style (ha!) and the bill was my responsibility.

Many a conversation had on it while sitting in my bean-bag chair.

Names. I will meet you, you will tell me your name and 30 seconds into the conversation I will not remember it. When you walk away I will look for anyone who heard the conversation to ask what your name was again. It won't matter as 2 minutes later I will forget it again.

Yup. This is me. I will now tell people how horrible I am with names and to please forgive me. I blame my mother. My sister and I both get this from her.

I always forget faces. It's terrible. I've run into people out of their usual environment (like people I have contact with through work) and I have no idea who they are, even if I totally know who they are. It's totally embarrassing. I'm so bad that I've actually worried I wouldn't recognize a guy I'm meeting for a SECOND date, lol.
I am also really bad at faces so my husband and I have devised a system where if I haven't introduced him to the person and am acting weirdly vague, he knows I can't remember who they are and then makes the introductions himself " . . . I don't think we've met, I'm N's husband" and then I jump in with "oh, I'm sorry, where are my manners" sort of thing. I also do the same for him.

This is me, too. However, I don't have a buddy bail out system. All old people at work look the same. Same height. Same hair style. Same sensible shoes and "clam diggers," as my coworker would say. I've started trying to pay attention to their clothes. Often, they'll come in groups dressed similarly, though! I insist that if they leave something at the counter for us to hold as they shop (God forbid should they carry that one little greeting card around with them) that they leave their name. I think I've finally gotten that habit to rub off on my coworkers.

Getting home from the grocery store only to find I've gotten everything but the one thing I went for.
I blame Costco..."get charcoal, beer, and conditioner" I get there, " oh, a pyrex measuring cup set, and it's only $8!, oh wow, lightup vodka bottles! Oh that's as good price on laundry hampers, get some of those... oh yeah, I need computer paper, oooh...organic avocados! That's a good price...I'll make guacamole for tomorrow, charcoal, check...beer...check. where are those coconut cookies? Fuckers, they don't have them, I better get the fuck outta here, this cart is heavy"

Get home...fuck, I forgot conditioner! .
The free samples are distracting, too.

Get home. Fuck!! Batteries!!!!
Fuck!!! Toilet Paper!!! ( I want to kick my own ass some days!!) I HATE when I do this!! Lol but I'm LOVING this thread! I feel right at home !!

Health and hygiene note: You should not kick your own ass if you forgot to buy toilet paper.

For thread integrity: I often forget to zip up after doing my business. I'll be sitting at my desk at work, look down, and, "Oh shit! How long has my zipper been down? Fuck! Am I going to get a call from HR?"

The worst was my daughter's birthday party, which was lousy with privileged preschoolers and their butthole Brooklyn parents.

Luckily, the horse hasn't escaped the barn yet, but, Jesus, dude, get a grip and xyzpdq!

Hobbes, hopefully you will not find yourself in this situation again. However, if such a situation arises (or something similar), feel free to call Rob: 555-CROC. Pretty easy to remember, and I'm sure he'd be happy to pick you up if you were stranded.

Hobbes · July 2015

Hmmm... jail or being seen with someone in crocs. Tough one

And I will never be in that situation again. Like I said, looking back seems like a different life, a strange character in a book. I'm in a much, much better place.

That makes my heart happier than you'll ever know. I hope that one day my brother will be in a similar place.

I want to give Hobbes a scratch behind the ears but don't wanna embarrass him

So for thread integrity, I keep forgetting to bring garbage bags into the bathroom. They're in the kitchen, and every time I walk by I think "gotta grab some bags" and then forget. It's awful.

Hobbes · July 2015

You folks are great. I won't forget that.

Do you have 2 legs and 2 hands?

(That's what I ask my wife when I hear the "trash needs taken out" speech)

I have 5-6 different kinds of salt to cook with and so am never out. Love my salt.

I forget to wash my "whites"
I dont wear much white -- socks during the winter and the occasional t-shirt that is white but because I am shit at doing wash my white t-shirts dont stay bright white for long so I dont tend to go for them much. Because of this the whites section in my hamper builds up forever until I actually want to wear white socks and realize I dont have any. (And the ones that are in there are probably worthy of being thrown out by that point.)
In the summer if I am not in a suit for work, I wear my Reefs everywhere. Never w/o a bottle opener!

Last-12-Exit · July 2015

If you are not in a suit?

Do you think you're better than me?

Hahaha. Hell no, I wear sandals everywhere else, that means I want to be on island time I am just too much of a schmuck to move to an island. (Or, I like my comforts and providing for my family.)

Sh!t you always forget...
