Time...

Post Reply New Topic

I can remember the date things happened. I am not so exact as to be able to remember what day of the week it happened, but I can remember the day, month, and year of important events.

Yes,I have a really good memory for certain details,but my sense of time is really screwy.I remember things from last week as if a year ago,and years ago as if yesterday.And the perceptions can shift.

The only problem I have with time is that I can not tell the time often, I will look at a clock and think it is a totally different time. I have no idea why this is?!

I'll look at a clock and read it okay, but not retain what time it said for more than 5 seconds before having to double or triple check.

lol, interesting that I posted this topic, I completely missed trash day today... didn't realize it til on the way home when I saw all the empty cans laying in the road from the wind blowing them around

I've missed entire weeks before just because I don't remember what happened, or will skip over a day easy also.

Completely off-topic, but why do people ask the obvious? I went to McDonald's, and it's POURING down rain-I thought I was gonna drown just trying to order my food because it was coming in through the window so hard. So I get to the window to pay, and the lady says "looks like you got hit by the rain too didn't you?" I didn't respond, she said it like 4 times, and I finally said "yep", because I couldn't tell she was expecting a response. How am I supposed to respond? I'm wiping water off of the inside of my car, of course I got hit by the water... and there are many times I recall people asking me "does it hurt?" after I burned my hand on the inside of the stove or something. What the hell do these people want from us? lol, why in the world would you think that it's a good conversation starter to ask about something completely obvious? ugh, lol. Sorry, had to vent.

Or you could have said...nope....just ran through the sprinklers....here's your sign...

lol, something similar did occur to me, I was thinking of asking "no, why? is it raining where you are?"

but I just couldn't get past why she would say it, lol, and got hung up on that instead of the having fun thought.

lol, I've learned to get along pretty well-I think a LOT of things that I don't say, and learned when things are appropriate and when they are not (only 'cuz my mom was quick on the draw if I said anything out of line), I still don't know why, but it gets me by as long as I don't talk to them for long, lol. I'm sure she was trying to strike up conversation since I was kind of stuck at her window for a while, but I just couldn't go off of that, lol, I didn't cooperate well.

I hate when people ask me stupid questions like that , really they are stating the obvious , but i do it too , i think i do it when i dont know what to say and there is an uncomfortable silence . One thats annoying me currently is when i go out in the street and people stop me and ask me * is that your dog ?* refering to the dog i am walking wich is on a lead held by my hand , last week when the third person asked me i said * no i stole her from a blind man down the road * and walked off , and i heard the woman tut and say how rude !

lol-I do it with my boyfriend, but rarely strangers anymore-I almost always think it, I just never say it. My bf refers to it as my "dark sense of humor" to respond with things like that because I find it humorous while others get very offended or feel hurt. He doesn't take it too seriously when I do it with him, he's starting to think it's kind of funny too, lol, and he does it right back sometimes with other things.

LOL
