Have you ever entered a room and forgot why you went there????

Oh yes, it happens to me at times. Usually if I go the the room I just came from, I can remember why I'm in the current room. I really don't believe it has anything to do with age - I'm still young. I think it happens because there are just too many things going on all at once. There's only so much multi-tasking a person can do before the brain short circuits.

A lot of times !! And sometimes I sometimes open my mouth to speak and forget what I was about to say!! Old age?? It must/might be lol

It used to happen to me when I was younger and much busier. Now that I'm older and living a life of relative leisure, it rarely happens...go figure!

Hi bird! This just happened to me a couple of hours ago. I was arranging my laundry and taking my clothes from the hanger outside our house. I went inside my room and totally forgot why I did! I had to think back on the things I was doing just to recall what I was supposed to do in my room. It took me ten seconds to recall what I was supposed to do. And the irony of it was that it was connected with my laundry! I had to get the clothes I left in my room and hang them outside and I totally forgot about it! I think this was because aside from what I was doing, I was thinking of another thing, other things. But I really can't believe myself whenever this happens to me. Cheers.

hahahah that's pretty funny but I think we all do it. There are times that our minds are fully occupied with something then we will go somewhere then realize why I ma here what will I want to get from here? then you go out again then you remember what you want to get in the room. That's true.

yes. its hillarious but very agravating also. and i have done it when i was young many times. i think sometimes we just have bunches on our mind. ive seen dogs do it to i think. i think its something everyone does.

Well, at least I know I am not alone in this. It doesn't happen to me all the time, but when it does happen to me, it drives me CRAZY! I can't say if it happens when I have more things going on in my life, but I am pretty sure it does not just happen to just the elderly.

I experience that too, friend. That was happen before..when I look for a room for interview. But in my surprise the I enter is not the room which I should go for interview. I feel shy in that occasion because people around are seeing on me...

Hi bird: Yeah! This may sound stupid but sometimes your brain gets frozen and you simply forgot what you were doing. It also has happened to me that I am talking about something and in the middle of the conversation I forgot about the main thing I am talking about or what I was planning to say next. ALVARO

Oh yes, many times. I think the older experience this more often. Forgetting why you went into a room may also be a sign of stress. I don't think it's only about the memory. As for me, forgetting things for the moment mostly occur when something else disturb my attention. So it can happen to young people also because of the stressful life full of information where attention must be active all the time.

Yeah, it happened to me too. I would try to retrace my thought and usually I came to me again what I should do or take from the room. It may be because of old age but it cal also because of a hectic day when we think faster than our action...

All te time. It was worse when I wsas prego.

In most cases, I don't think age has nothing to do with this. I hate to see older people blame things like this on age. In my case I know when I am very busy and thinking about several things it's easy to forget little details. I call it being on over load :)

A lot of times! That's just crazy! I am a bit forgetful, really! And I'm just 18. That's pretty lame, I guess.

Yes, I do that sometimes. I did the other day as a matter of fact. I went to get a bag to put in the garbage can in my bathroom and bedroom and started thinking about other things I needed to do and went in the kitchen to get the little bags and forgot what I went in there for. So then I started doing something else and saw that the bags weren't in the cans and I said oh that's why I went in there. lol

For sure I have done this lots of times. I probably do at least once a week. Sometimes it is one of my kids distracting me and sometimes it is just me forgetting what I was headed for. I do it on line too. I will think that I want to go to a certain web site, and then a minute later I will say "Now what web site was I about to go to." Very frustrating.

Yes, I have to admit I do that alot, I'll think of something that might be in the bedroom, so I start heading to the bedroom then when I get in there, I just stop and think what was I coming in here for?lol. I guess its just a normal thing, most of the time we've probably got something else on our mind, then we forget what we were doing for a moment. Yeah, I just had my 40th bday, so I'm getting that alot, people telling me that old age is creeping up on me..haha.

I hate it when that happens- not often but still...

This has always happened to me a lot, so it's not just cause I am getting older. I have difficulty walking, so when I go in a room I try to do everything I need to do in there. If I remember something that is good. There have been numerous times that I have left the room and then remember something else I wanted to do there! There have been many times that I have wanted to ask someone something, then when I talk to them I forget until after we hang up. I have gotten in the habit of calling them back or when I think about what it was I wanted to ask them before I forget again. Sometimes I write myself notes of things I want to mention to someone and then forget to look at the note!

Yes. This has happened to me on numerous occasions usually involving me walking into the basement and then having to walk back up the stairs to figure out why I walked down in the first place. What's worse is when you are looking for something, but it turns out to be in your left hand or otherwise on your person. I lose my cell phone quite often, but at least that you can have someone call so you can retrieve it. I'd say I misplace it every week almost and takes a minute to find each time. I normally don't have to call it.
