Post your best "senior moments"

[stoopid]

I've got soooo many, I can't tell you all. I forgot. It's better that way!

My aunt goes around the house catching lint and throwing it outside thinking they are spiders/bugs! Haha!

I paid the monthly utility bills via online bill pay, then forgot I did it and paid them again and wondered why we had almost nothing in the bill paying account.

I think that is better than thinking you paid it, and turns out you didn't. Not that I know anyone who has done that, of course.

At my job, I had to badge into the parking garage, then into the building, then to my floor, then to my box, then badge myself back out of the box, then the floor, then the building to get to my car to leave.

I refuse to count the number of times I'd try to badge my car door to get it to unlock.

As in it happened MORE than once a week.

For 5 years.

I have tried to call my daughter with the remote instead of the telephone....

I'm not exactly a senior yet, but I'm so absent minded my family says I'm going senile early. I've searched the house for my cell phone while talking on it. I once lost a can of Rotel I'd picked up to make queso, gave up and decided I had forgotten it, went back to the store for a new one, then found the first can in the freezer while putting up meat I'd forgotten to buy on the first trip. A couple weeks ago my Dad asked me to help him remember to take his medicine that night because as he said "I'm getting old and can't remember things." I made a mark on my hand with a pen to help me remember but later that night, upon seeing it, I said "Dad, I'm supposed to help you remember to do something but I can't remember what it is..." Thankfully, he did, but we both got s laugh out of it. The only thing I never forget is supper!

I still have a LONG time until I'm a senior, but I cannot begin to count the number of times I've been looking for something (wallet, iPod, glasses) and torn the house apart... Only to find them in my pocket or even in front of my eyes (yes, my glasses) oh dear...
