that moment when....

[K-Dog]

You walk up to your tool box to get a tool and then you stand in front of your tool box for five minuets staring at it trying to remember what you walked over there to get.
Just to walk back to your project to review where you are in the repair process and figure out what you needed in the first place.

 

[RV77]

Im guilty as charged !! lol I do that occasionally also.

 

[jakemac]

I don't get that far. As soon as I stand up and take a step, I forget what I needed and where I was going.

Or worse, I search all over the place for a tool that was in my other hand the whole time.

Or, .................. damn, I forgot what I was going to say

 

[crewchief888]

the mind is the 1st thing to go....

 

[Bobcat753]

It's worse with me I forget before I get up because I get distracted! Now what was I looking for?

 

[WVBrady]

I do that when my mind is preoccupied by more weighty subjects.

 

[metaldad]

naw. i never.















what?

 

[the gypsy]

I don't remember, what were we talking about? Oh yes a tool. Sometimes it happens to me.

 

[Rummel]

...all the time...

 

[warpipe]

Do that quite often............or walk out to the truck to get something and draw a blank when I get there. Soon time for post it notes I guess!

 

[73surffisher]

Isn't that called "having a senior moment"

 

[GortonsFisherman]

It's tough to get old.

 

[Indexmill]

Don't work stoned.

 

[t4runner]

Been there many times.

 

[upndown]

Standing in front of the Ice Cream case, started up a conversation with a good looking lady. Got home ready to dish out a big bowl..No Ice cream.

I write myself notes all the time. I never have them with me when I need to remember.

 

[Fretters]

It's no fun. I've got a grub screw sat on the bench with the Allen key still inserted. Can mentally recall the process of taking it out of something the other day, but I'll be damned if I can remember what, and now I'm wondering what's missing the grub screw.

 

[firebox40dash5]

Don't work stoned.

Then how would the body work get done?

 

[CJM8515]

I do it all the time and Im not old either.

Ever use a tape measure and pencil on a project? By the time projects really going I must have ten pencils and 5 tapes laying about cause I keep losing them.

 

[rick carpenter]

Uhh, what was the question again?

 

[larry_g]

I found that when I moved I could not find tools. They were in the box, same drawer where they had been for years, but the tool box was not in the place it should be. Move the tool box and I loose the ability to grab the tool I need.

no neat sig line

 

[73surffisher]

OMG! ! ! It's an epidemic. , , , , , ,

 

[oldldh]

As one's age increases...

The time interval between these "Senior Moments"....

Decreases...

When you have to start really worrying, is when you forget why you're standing in the bathroom...

 

[Heavy Metal Doctor]

.................hippopotamus?











That is actually the term we all use around our shop for "that moment" when the mind skips.

My issue is trying to find that damn 10mm wrench......when it's in my back pocket. DAMN YOU GM....it's all your fault!

 

[IROC-Z28]

Happens to me all the time, looking for tapes and sharpies constantly, wandering around for five minutes trying to figure out what the heck you were looking for only to finally go back and get under the vehicle then once situated remember instantly.... It's called A.D.D

 

[mr overdunne]

Always......even worse is heading to ace hardware and just like an act test; as soon as you hit the door you go blank. Lol.

[dadsEH]

Yep, I have those CRAFT moments.... (Can't Remember A Friggin Thing)

 

[oldtools]

Happen to me quite often. Sometime it would take me several days to remember what I need to do.

 

[aka Larry]

I call it having CRS...Can't Remember ****!

The effect is a variation of what is known as "Room Amnesia".

Have a look at the Scientific American article: Why Walking through a Doorway Makes You Forget.
