I had something happen a few weeks ago that I couldn't believe I managed to do.
Note: I always keep my wallet in my back right pocket.
So, last week when I got home from the store I was getting the groceries out of the car. My right hand was full, when I noticed I had left my wallet on the seat. So I grabbed it with my left hand and put it my back left pocket. (I did this without really thinking about it.) I then went inside and unloaded all of my groceries and threw my keys on the counter. Then I went to reach for my wallet (in it's normal place) and of course it wasn't there.
Somehow I had completely forgotten that I put in my other pocket. I then proceeded to go outside and basically tear apart my car looking for it. Rooted through the console, the glovebox, looked under the seats. I even went back inside to grab a flashlight to look all around and underneath the car. Of course I found nothing.
I retraced my steps back into the house and looked all over the counter. I even took the grocery bags out of the trash to make sure I hadn't drop it in one of them. At this point I was equal parts pissed off and panicking. I was about 10 seconds away from getting on the computer and putting a hold on my credit cards. Then it happened.
I sat down on the couch to have a beer to calm down. That's when I noticed my wallet was in my other pocket the entire time. I just spent probably 20 minutes freaking out about my wallet because I totally spaced out on putting somewhere where it never goes.
I'm not sure whether to laugh it off or to start researching early Dementia signs.
