I walked into a City Office Yesterday to add some info to an application I have in – the Gent behind the Counter at one point asked me what my phone number was. I opened my Mouth and… stopped. Nothing. It just wasn’t there.
A new study finds that you are not actually crazy when you forgot where you’re keys are on a regular basis. In fact, the results say the average person forgets four things a day.
The study was conducted with 2,000 adults – The most common things forgotten included leaving without a phone, where your keys are, and misplacing your wallet. In total, most of the respondents were found to have forgotten over 1,400 things in a year.
Ladies, it should be noted that 56% of guys really rely on YOU in a relationship to remember things. The opposite is said for you; most women say they can’t rely on their other half to remember things. This also explains why in relationships women tend to have the better memory of the two. Even more proof is that guys are also more forgetful on passing along important messages, birthdays, and anniversaries. (I’m guilty of that myself, a lot)
Women get more upset when they forget or misplace things. One in four female respondents said they have lied when forgetting something “big” in fear of getting in trouble for it.
Post-It Brands commissioned the study saying that:
Our days are so jam packed full of tasks whether at work or at home, it’s no surprise people find it hard to keep track of everything.
With much longer working hours, financial concerns and just busier lifestyles, even those with the best memory can stumble when it comes to remembering even the most simple of things during a hectic day.
So what are the most common things forgotten by people?
