Excuses For A Bad Memory.

A personal story in the experience: I Once Knew What I Forgot But I Cant Remember
I have an amazing memory for all sorts of things...that interest me!

I have a terrible memory for things that do not interest me.

Somethings, I know, should interest me and are important, but at times my head is so crammed with other things that there doesn't seem to be space. Peoples names are a really difficult issue for me, especially if I see people away from the environment I am used to seeing them in. I have terrible problems with recognising people, unless I know them really well, but I am skilled at talking my way through until I remember (lol).

I know that some of my difficulties relate to Aspergers and luckily many of my friends know me well and put it down to scattiness rather than stupidity.

I often try to excuse myself by laughing it off and say things such as 'Oops, I'm having an Aspergers moment!' or 'Oops, I'm having a blonde moment !'. A friend I know often says 'Oops, I'm having a senior moment!' 

What excuses do you make for your forgetfulness?

What kind of 'moments' do you have?
