Do you ever forget what you were going to tell someone?

This goes along alittle with the misplacement of objects..but do you have something you were going to tell someone when they are in your presence or you are on the phone with them..and when they hang up..or you now longer see them..you think of it? This happens alot with roomie. He is in his room alot and I don't want to bother him..I think of something to tell or ask him..and when he is gone.I think of it. That bugs me a great deal. I think I am going to have to write down what I want to ask, although usually it isn't too important.

I think we all experience that. It goes with us , we can't deny it. Most especially when we aged.

This seems to be human nature for many of us. I tend to make notes now, especially if it is something important.

@snowy22315 But if you're a list person, items don't need to have great import! They just need to 'be' so they can go on a list and you can eventually tick them off.

One thing that is funny which happens with my sister alot I call her the same time she is calling me. One time I picked up the phone to call her and her voice was on the other end. I hadn't heard the phone ring.

I did that all the time. I would plan to talk to my sister or my children about this or that. And in the end, I forgot completely. (Sometimes I had to call them a number of times, just to tell them what I had planned to tell them in the first place.)

Yes, sometimes you call and you forget the specific reason for your call..or they leave the phone and you never told them what you planned to.

It isn't really that big of a deal, just annoying when it happens.
