Do you tend to forget often? / myLot

July 2, 2020 11:26pm CST

Yesterday, I wondered how come two of my dresses were missing. But when I checked the washing machine, they were all there in the spinner. They had been there for 4 days! I will not wonder anymore if our water bill is high. It is because I always forget to turn off the faucet in the sink. Being forgetful does not mean you are old. It means you are stressed or preoccupied. Are you like this sometimes?

Our brain can't accommodate everything at a time.

Yes I forget many things but I am always particular with water and make it a point to see that water is not wasted.

@Janet357 No water is not expensive here in India rather it is subsidised by the government. But I know how difficult it is to get water to the customers. It has to go through so many costly processes. I have worked in the field plus I am also aware how some people have to travel long distances to get some water. It is very scarce at some places.

Yes many times i tend to be absent minded. Maybe it is also due to an aging brain.

I try my best not to be forgetful and time and time again remind everyone in the house not to be forgetful because I will be the one to shoulder the unnecessary expenses from water and light bulb switches not being turned off.

And i think your housemates do that. You know what, our Meralco bill tripled this May. And the consumption never changed. No idea if Meralco will refund the excess charge.
