I found these on another site, but some of them have actually happened to me.  You forget what you're looking for but continue to look for it in hopes you'll recognize it when you see it. You're driving down the street and realize you have the TV remote still in your hand. You're looking for your purse when someone reminds you it is under your arm. You spend twenty minutes trying to put in your contact lense to no avail. Then you throw it away thinking it was defective and pull out a new one only for it to do the same thing. Because you had already put one in that eye! |

Had to come back and add some more.
Someone points out to you that you constantly use parentheses when writing letters, stories or academic papers (or just about anything). And you suddenly realize with a shock (and it's about time!) that not only do you interrupt other people, but you also constantly interrupt yourself!
When you are making jam and you have to start over more than 10 times measuring the sugar cause ya keep forgetitng how many cups ya already put in the bowl.
You have a dozen bookmarks (for actual books) and end up using bus transfers and bits of paper instead.

Fart! I wrote an entire post and hit the wrong button and now it's gone. Is that proof enough? You know you have ADD when you are late for work (again) so you drive to work instead of taking the trolley. After work, you forget you drove, so you hop onto the trolley without a ticket because you think you bought a round-trip ticket in the morning. You get to your stop and look for your car in the mall parking lot. You panic and don't see it. So, you go to the security shack and make a huge stink. The security guy drives you around and then you come back and fill out a stolen car report. You call your mother to come and pick you up. When you get home, the whole thing dawns on you. This is hypothetical, of course.  |

When wierd quirky things happen to you ALL the time and people actually comment that "it could only happen to you."
Say you had tickets to go to Europe and you had to work a late shift at the post office the night before. Your plane leaves at 6 a.m. the next morning, so you make sure to pack all our important paperwork in your purse (tickets, passport, int'l driver's license, railwail pass, traveller's checks, cash, debit cards, you name it).
When your shift is over, you run from the building to your car because it is dark and raining. There are approximately 800 other cars. You jam the key in the door, fling your purse into the seat, and drive off. Something isn't right cause you don't remember turning your station to country...then it dawns on you that the steering wheel is also jacked way up high. Oh My God! You have just driven off in someone elses car!!!!
So, as fast as you can you turn around and park the car in its spot, and you PRAY that noone is looking for their car and spotting you as a thief. I mean...WHAT ARE THE CHANCES THAT YOUR KEY FIT SOMEONE ELSES CAR WHO WAS PARKED NEXT TO YOU AND THE CAR LOOKS SIMILAR TO YOURS BUT IS AN ENTIRELY DIFFERENT MODEL?
So, then with relief you get into your own car and head home. You call your best friend on your cell phone who is going on the trip with you to have a big laugh about the whole thing. As you're talking, you look over and realized that OH MY GOD!!!!! YOU LEFT YOUR PURSE IN THE OTHER CAR!!!!!! You scream all sorts of obsceneties as you realize that the other person (whom you don't know) probably just got off their shift too and is right now driivng off with your purse for the weekend.
Your friend is screaming at you that she CANNOT go to Europe alone without you! You scream that you will be at her house in 5 minutes cause you can't deal with this alone -- you might have a full-on panic attack. You pick her up and are driving like a freak in the rain to get back to work; you are alternating between crying and laughing. You also manage to pull out your phone and call the night supervisor to breathlessly explain what's going on and can he help you--he is so confused that he thinks it's a hoax. Your friend tells you that you should probably be more careful on the road cause it's so rainy. You almost do a donut as you tear your way into the parking lot. To your relief, the car is still there. But, you are completely freaked out that you have to re-break into someone's car to retrieve your purse.

You are a person who should receive a special driver's license (or citizen's award) because you actually CAN manage to drive a stick shift car, talk on the cell phone, AND eat a burger all at the same time--you have a spotless driving record for your entire 23 years of having a license.

Rosey!!! Did the same Europe thing happen to you too? COOL! ;D ;D
You know you're ADD when you someone says "Wow! You've had a lot of different kinds of jobs!!"
Or
When you are 19 and you get a job at a huge restaurant in a hotel in a ski resort. Your first week there, you are starting to get a little bored and your boss is a very anal guy who thinks he's all that because HE is the cashier for both restaurants in the hotel. You wonder if this job is going to work for you or not, but one night the power goes out and the cash register is backed clear up with people wanting to pay and get out, but nothing works at the register stand. You see your boss have a complete meltdown, so you offer to step in and help.
Suddenly, you are not only working a register with no power, but are organizing folks into two lines: cash or cc. You use 2 phones to get the cc charges approved and you manually take cash from the others while waiting for approvals. You manage to have a good time and laugh, apologize for the inconvenience, and ask people how their meal was. They leave laughing and in a good mood, the drawer balances to the penny at the end of the night, and you think you're going to enjoy this job after all if it continues like this.
Your boss quits (or is let go...can't remember) a few days later.

. . . you are reading a thread, decide to respond to it, but by the time you log in you have forgotten what thread you were going to post to. Of course the slooooowwwwness of the server has a part in that too.  |
