Which neuron was it that misfired?

LOL. I found my car keys in the freezer once. I didn't even bother trying to figure out how they got there.

Ghosts.

I did it. Both times.

lol.

I do stuff like that all the time.

I found my wallet in the garbage can a few times.

He's like that gremlin on the wing of the plane.

I sometimes bring dirty dishes and put them on my bath tub, or put the things from the fridge in the sink.

Then again, I've been known to lose things in my hair.

If you do such things when you're young, make a note of it so that when you're old, you won't have to wonder whether putting the dog food in the candy dish proves age is stealing your memory.

Well, Rob... next time you're putzing around in my refrigerator, would you mind filling up the ice trays and throwing out any leftovers that have gone bad? Thanks.

My husband once left the remote control in the refrigerator.

Now we just blame misplaced items on the baby.

I've actually misplaced the milk once in the microwave and then I turned it on.

Boy was that a mess.

I once put a Lionel Richie record on a turntable.

Talk about disoriented.

When I was a freshman in high school, one morning my mom found the cereal in the fridge. She figured I had just stuck the box there on accident. So she went to put it away and found the sugar where the cereal should be. And yup, when she went to put the sugar away, she found the milk.

I don't know what I was thinking. I know I was in a hurry and in my defense, I was very sleep deprived because along with going to school, I worked two jobs (leaving home at 4:45 am and not usually getting home until around 11 pm to midnight).

So I must have had a gazillion misfiring neurons and I don't think it has gotten any better since then.

When I was growing up, my mom used to put the iron in the fridge from time to time. I used to think that was weird—until I grew up and it started happening to me. My most recent brain-swap was this:

I manage our apartment building and from time to time buy quarters off the laundry machines when I run out. So, the other day, I took out $18 worth of quarters and wrote a check for that amount. About ten minutes later, I found the check in my pocket. I was sure I'd put the check into the coin box in the machine. I remembered locking it up. When I went back to check the coin box, inside I found the pen with which I had written the check.

I'm always finding old cups of coffee in the microwave, but they were put there on purpose—just forgotten.

Hamster in the microwave and the cup of soup in the hamster cage...

My mom is known for buying something at the store and paying for it, then leaving it behind when she walks out.

I've also seen her pay for food at a drive-thru and try to drive away without the food.

It's called a "cognitive failure."

Usually caused by lack of sleep, fatigue, being tired, stress, etc. Your attention just isn't as great or focused as usual, and you do things like dump out the rest of your iced tea in the garbage rather than the sink, or put the milk in the pantry, pour OJ on your cereal, etc.

Happens to everybody.

It's either what Opti said or you're a nutter.
