Age Activated Attention Deficit Disorder (AAADD)

AAADD - Age Activated Attention Deficit Disorder
For those of you that don't get this, you will, your day is coming.............

This is how it manifests. I decide to water my garden. As I turn on
the hose in the driveway, I look over at my car and decide it needs
washing. As I start toward the garage, I notice mail on the front
verandah table that I brought up from the letterbox earlier, just after the mailman had been.

I decide to go through the mail before I wash the car. I put my car
keys on the table, put the junk mail in the garbage bin beside the
table, and notice that the bin is full. So, I decide to put the bills back on the table and take out the garbage first.

But then I think, since I'm going to be near the post box when I take
out the garbage anyway (and the mailman picks up the mail at noon). I may as well pay the bills first. So, I take my cheque book off the table, and see that there is only 1 cheque left. My spare cheque book is in my desk in the study, so I go inside the house to my desk where I find the can of Coke I’d been drinking earlier this morning.

I know I was going to look for my cheque book, but first I need to push the Coke can aside so that I don't accidentally knock it over. The Coke is warm, so I decide to put it in the refrigerator to make it cold again.

As I head toward the kitchen with the Coke, a vase of flowers on the
dining room table catches my eye -- they need water.
I put the Coke on the dining room table and discover my reading glasses that I’ve been searching for all morning. I decide I better put them back on my desk, but first I'm going to put more water in the flowers. I set the glasses back down on the table, go to the kitchen sink to get a jug and fill it with water and suddenly spot the TV remote on the window sill. Some one left it there.

I realize that tonight when we go to watch TV, I'll be looking for the
remote, but I won't remember that it's on the window sill, so I decide
to put it back in the lounge room where it belongs, but first I'll water
the flowers. I pour some water in the jug, but spill some on the floor.
So, I set the remote back on the kitchen bench, get some towels and 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 car isn't washed
- the cheque's aren't written for the bills to be paid
- there is a warm can of Coke sitting on the dining room table
- 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,
- the garbage hasn't been taken out
- and 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 day, and I'm really tired now.
I realize this is a serious problem, and I'll try to get some help for
it, but first I'll check my e-mail.

Don't laugh -- if this isn't you yet, your day is coming!!

Have you been spying on me PF - that is exactly how my days seem to go..

[Motu]

Ahhh,thank God there is an explanation,this has been driving me crazy the last couple of years,and my business has really suffered because of it - is there a support group in my area?

I used to be able to churn out a fair amount of work each day,but these days I work all day but seem to achieve nothing.Today for the first time I implimented something I used to do years ago - a list of jobs to do today....I only had 3,and I have ticked all of them! Without the list I don't think I would of done them.

You may laugh,but AAADD is real to me!

[Edbear]

Yup! Called into the Supermarket this evening to pick up a couple of things, got o the checkout with the milk, breakfast muffins and a couple other things including a large 12-pack of toilet paper which was on special. Operator's assistant asked if I'd like it all in one bag and of course I said, "Sure!" (You know, saving the planet...).:yes:

Well, got home and unpacked then realised that large pkt of loo paper was missing! :eek: Bummer! Grabbed my receipt and headed back down to get the loo paper, but when I got to the office, upon checking my receipt I noted I hadn't even ben charged for it!:gob:

So this extra large packet of toilet paper literally disappeared from under my nose and didn't even get checked by the operator! I bought another pack and still have no idea what went wrong!:bye:

[miSTa]

That is just so true, it explains everything :o

[Meekey_Mouse]

I'm only 17 and that happens to me!!! Oh no....

[trumpy]

Been like this for years.......I'm doomed..

[Lou Girardin]

That's NOT funny.
It's too true.

[skidMark]

I'm only 17 and that happens to me!!! Oh no....


really....... ;)

[Terminated]

realised that large pkt of loo paper was missing! :eek: Bummer! Grabbed my receipt and headed back down to get the loo pape:

Can't buy loo paper without eggs, or was it milk....

[Al]

That is absolutely true!

It comes with having children too (I blame baby brain).... went to the supermarket, brought some butter and things not long ago. I always stick my wallet in the grocery bag, so I can carry that and my nearly two year old. Got home stuck the bag in the fridge. Next day, I looked everywhere for my wallet, started to get a bit worried, thinking about going to the police station to report it, until I had to get the butter and there was my wallet in the fridge.... duh!! :)

[oldrider]

I'm only 17 and that happens to me!!! Oh no....

In 50 yrs time you will be as old as me!

Advice: Store a lot of pencils and paper, your daily AAADD list of items is going to be a 100miles long!

Mine is! :doh: Good luck! :confused: John.

[scumdog]

I've got an extreme form of it - I keep losing my AAADD form I have to remind my of what to do.

Just luck these keys are stuck on the keyboard AND it has a long wire thingy that keeeps it attached to the 'puter or I wouldn't be able to post this.......

[diggydog]

thats a classic crack me up that, thats what you would call being disorginised trying to do things as you do one you find another and so on, so true.:yes:

Recently, I was diagnosed with

A. A. A. D. D. - (AGE ACTIVATED ATTENTION DEFICIT DISORDER).

This is how it manifests:

I decide to wash my car.

As I start toward the garage, I notice that there is mail on the hall table.

I decide to go through the mail before I wash the car.

I lay my car keys down on the table, put the junk mail in the trashcan under the table, and notice that the trashcan is full.




So, I decide to put the bills back on the table and take out the trash first.

But then I think, since I'm going to be near the mailbox when I take out the trash anyway, I may as well pay the bills first.

I take my cheque book off the table, and see that there is only one cheque left

My extra cheques are in my desk in the study, so I go to my desk where I find the can of Coke that I had been drinking.

I'm going to look for my checks, but first I need to push the Coke aside so that I don't accidentally knock it over. I see that the Coke is getting warm, and I decide I should put it in the refrigerator to keep it cold.

As I head toward the kitchen with the coke a vase of flowers on the counter catches my eye--they need to be watered.

I set the Coke down on the counter, and I discover my reading glasses that I've been searching for all morning.

I decide I better put them back on my desk, but first I'm going to water
the flowers.

I set the glasses back down on the counter, fill a container with water and suddenly I spot the TV remote.

Someone left it on the kitchen table.

I realize that tonight when we go to watch TV, I will be looking for the remote, but I won't remember that it's on the kitchen table, so I decide to put it back in the den where it belongs, but first I'll water the flowers.

I splash some water on the flowers, but most of it spills on the floor.

So, I set the remote back down on the table, get some towels and 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 car isn't washed, the bills aren't paid, there is a warm can of Coke sitting on the counter, the flowers aren't watered, there is still only one check in my cheque book, I can't find the remote, I
can't find my glasses, and I don't remember what I did with the car keys.

I realize 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, will you? Forward this message to everyone you know,
because I don't remember to whom it has been sent.
