Absolutely!

Answer 7

We all do that from time to time.  I suspect that might have something to do with the invention of the written word - not to mention pencil and paper.

Answer 8

I had a head injury... what was the question?

Answer 9

All the time , I have a terrible memory , i think its because we are trying to remember too much at once .

Answer 10

Yes. In fact, everyone I know has this problem to some extent. There can be multiple causes for this phenomenon, not the least of which is mental preoccupation at the time or immediately after you are told something.

Answer 13

sometimes

Answer 14

Yeah,such thing happened to me.

I'm not really sure why or how but It happened. I was talking with my friend when I got a text message. I was 100% sure that I knew what he said. But it seems that my mind is focused on the text message,I kinda forgot what he told me.

I think it's because of the factors which affect our attention. Like people, events, our emotions and other stuff. And if that happens to you,just ask the person again.

Haha.
