Oh man, I do this too. I can't retain phone numbers, birthdays... not even people I'm close too. Is it ******ation, or laziness? Probably a little bit of both, lolol
No **** you, I want all the gifts you owe me from missing all my birthdays, etc. Plus I could go for some birthday cake and ice cream...!!!
I use the excuse I got punched one too many times in the head to remember dumb stuff like birthdays, phone numbers...but I can remember useless things, so it all balances out...!!!
Yeah its weird, I can remember basically everything, I have an amazing memory, I can remember every band, singer, record I've ever listened to, Boxing match, film, stories, life experiences vividly, but for some reason I can't remember the number on my bank card. Or birthdays and phone numbers, at all.
I can rattle off pretty precise stats and what not if I'm talking about boxing as well... but it took me until I was something like 22 to memorize my social security number... hahahah.Awful.
Ima the funny one... @CST80 is the smart one, except when it comes to remembering simple things like my birthday...!!!
