I forgot what I was going to ask

[Saul Goodman]

You guys ever do that? I sat down to ask something and poof. Gone.

[mathman]

What was the question????

[duncans]

Go back to the room you first thought of it. Usually works for me.

[velorush]

Yeah. I came here to offer up an answer, but I can't recall what it was.

Ever do that? 🫣

Welcome to old age.

Check your YouTube history. I’m sure it’s in there somewhere. 

[Saul Goodman]

I forgot to check back for answers.

"Forgetting what I was about to ask Google" is the new "walking into a room and not remembering what I went in there for" for me.

As my coworker says, "If it is important you will remember what it was."

 

 

I hate him. 😉

That always gets blamed on my father-in-law, who was quite the prankster and has been gone for 30 years. We live in his house and I swear to God he moves shit the second I set it down.

There was a show, possibly a movie, back in the early '90s, possibly before that, probably a VHS we rented from Pharmore, where blue men, before the Blue Man Group, would get the set ready for the subjects of the story would go. Like living in a simulation. But, say someone forgot their keys and couldn't find them and they knew they laid them on the coffee table. Well, the blue man, or men, would have to sneak back to the last set and place the keys somewhere for the subject to find them and then sneak back out undetected. It was pretty funny. I still blame the blue men whenever I lay something down and an instant later I can't find it. I'll look on YouTube and see if the video is out there.

ETA: Found it. Twilight Zone 1986
