AAADD.. Not me i hasten to add
« on: June 28, 2017, 07:38:03 pm »
Recently I was diagnosed with AAADD – that’s Age Activated Attention Deficiency Disorder

It manifests itself like this:
 
I decide to water the garden,

As I go to the garage to turn on the hose I look at my car in the driveway and realise it needs washing
 
So I go back into the kitchen and pick up my car keys, then I notice the post on the kitchen table that I had picked up from the hall earlier
 
I decide to go through the post before I wash the car
 
I lay my car keys on the table, sort out the bills and throw the junk mail into the bin that is sitting under the table.
 
I notice that the bin is full.
 
So I decide to put the bills back on the table and take out the bin.
 
Then I think since I’m going to the dustbin anyway I may as well pay the bills and post them in the post-box at the bottom of the lane.
 
I pick up my cheque book from the table and realise there is only one cheque left and that the new cheque book is in the desk in my study.
 
So I go into the study to my desk where I find the can of Coke I had been drinking earlier
 
I’m going to look for my cheque book, but I need to move the Coke somewhere safe so I don’t knock it over
 
I realise the Coke is now warm so I decide to put it in the fridge to cool off
 
As I head back towards the kitchen with my Coke a vase of flowers catches my eye, they need watering
 
I put the Coke on the kitchen counter and discover my reading glasses that I had been looking for all morning,
 
I decide I had better put them in my desk so I will know where they are, but first the flowers still need watering
 
I put the glasses back on the counter and fill a container with water
 
I suddenly spot the TV remote which someone has left on the kitchen table
 
I realise that we will need the remote when we come to watch TV tonight, but that I probably won’t remember that it’s on the kitchen table, so I decide to put it back in the lounge where it belongs
 
But first I must water the flowers
 
I pour the water into the vase, but quite a bit of it spills on the floor.
 
So, I put the remote back on the table and get some towels to wipe up the spill.
 
Then, I head down the hall trying to remember what I was planning to do.
 
At the end of the day:
 
The garden isn't watered
The car isn’t washed
The bills aren’t paid
The bin is still full
There is a warm can of Coke on the kitchen counter
The flowers don’t have enough water,
There is still only 1 cheque in my cheque book,
I can’t find the remote,
I can’t find my glasses,
I don’t remember what I did with the car keys.
 
Then, when I try to figure out why nothing got done today, I’m really baffled because I know I was busy all the damn day, and I’m really tired.
 
I realise this is a serious problem, and I’ll try to get some help for it, but first I’ll check my e-mail….
 
Do me a favour, forward this message to everyone you know, because I don’t remember who the hell I’ve sent it to.
 
Don’t laugh — if this isn’t you yet, your day is coming!!

Creepy that anyone can know so much about what I did all day....

...and that they remembered long enough to write it down cos I'm damned if I can.

I am guilty of starting a task, then seeing something else and then doing that forgetting about the first task although not to the extent of the joke

What joke?
As I have grown older, I've learned that pleasing everybody is impossible, but pissing everyone off is a piece of cake.

 :) :) :)

Was that a reference to it not being a joke Tom, or had you forgotten about the joke already?
