So the entire incident where I washed my cellphone has got me to thinking.
I really am a dumbarse.
I mean, for a man with two degrees from Stanford (in molecular biology) and most of a medical degree from Michigan (one of the most prestigious medical schools in the world), it's truly spectacular just how little simple good sense I have.
For example, did you know that if you use SOFT-SCRUB with Bleach on your bathtub, then forget to rinse it away, then go out on a date, that when you return to your apartment the entire place will smell like a gas chamber? (Please note that this is especially inconvenient when you are bringing home said date.)
Did you know that if you put a cast-iron pan on the stove to dry and forget to turn it off, it will actually glow cherry red? And that it will take a good hour before you can safely touch it?
Did you know that if you forget to close your windows before leaving for work on a day when severe thunderstorms are forecast, you don't have to worry about watering the plants in your windowsill? (Note: this is a slightly sloppy method, as it also waters your carpet, your sofa, and your bookshelf)
So there are plenty of very smart, but not so bright people just like me on this board. What lovely things have you discovered?

A fork is not a lever (well, at least not a lever for stiff plugs)
Don't leave the light on in your car if you want to get to work in the morning
Sleeping outside = dew on face
If you wish to read a book, DO NOT pick up the guitar (eeefil guitar)

dont feel alone.... im also remarkable absent minded. its strange - i can solve any problem they throw at me in engineering - thats my strength - problem solving & lateral thinking... but i cant even remember to water the plants when mum away... oh sh*T!!!!! *runs out*
back now... plants seem alive... anyway, despite my healthy resume and good career prospects im stupidly absentminded. i lose things frequently... perhaps its because i dont have much sentimental attachment to material objects, that it doesnt bother me when they dissappear? not sure...
im the type of person who looks for his car keys for 10 minutes before realising im holding them.
what have i forgotten about recenty? i recently found a t-bone on a plate in my desk...from dinner last week. it was under a pile of thermodynamics notes i was trying to avoid...
i have the somewhat dangerous habit of occaisonally leaving keys in the front door... ive sometimes forgotten to put the car in park and put the handbrake on. i was half way out the car when it started rolling back down the hill, resulting in some impressive speeding hopping and a dive inside to wrench up the hand brake.
im sure theres others which ive forgotten about....

I'm really forgetful. I have the memory of a senile goldfish. I've lost count of the number of umbrellas I've left on trains and buses. I went food shopping once and after I'd filled the trolly/cart, as I was about to go to the checkout it dawned on me I'd left my wallet in my locker at work.
I've once cycled into work, chained my bike up and gone into work. At the end of the day I had forgotten I cycled in and went and caught the bus home. One of the regular bus passenger said to me "You were late for work today were you?" when I said "no why?" she replied "Well I didn't see you this morning" The penny suddenly dropped. She laughed all the way home and still asks me some days "Are you sure you didn't cycle in today?"
My sister beats all though. On her way home one day she parked the car across the road from the bank at the bottom of her road. She went to the cash machine, did all she has to and then walked home. She left the car unlocked. The next morning she woke up and finding that the car wasn't outside the house she phoned the police saying it had been stolen. The car was found with nothing missing and all the doors unlocked and unforced. She to this day still claims she drove it home and that they must have carefully broken into it and pushed it down the hill. She gets all huffy if you mention it

Sounds really stupid, and i'm not quite sure why i did it... stuck piece of toast i assume but... I once tried to dislodge 'said piece' of toast with a (metal) knife when i saw it was burning in the toaster. I electrocuted myself. Smart.

Lol, glad it's not just me.
I've often wondered why I was putting the icecream back in the cupboard with the dishes. And I'm pretty sure the butter doesn't go in the microwave.
I've also driven into town a few times and forgotten why I was there. To combat this I've started writing lists (yep, like my mother) when I go out. Tragic, but it saves time and petrol.
I put it all down to smoking too much

I used to find the milk in the sink every once in a while. Why's the milk in the sink, I'd ask myself. Going to put it back in the refrigerator, I'd find the dirty breakfast dishes.
Domino, that's a good rule, but there's a more general one: don't try to do one two-handed move with one hand and a different (incompatible) two-handed move with the other one. Your face is among the LEAST injurious places this can impact you.
Other things I've learned:
If you put your keys in the same place absolutely every time you come in the door, you're somewhat less likely to have to spend your last minute rush out the door frantically looking for them.
The phrase "Oh, I have plenty of time" basically means "I'm going to be late this time for sure."
Similarly, "set that there for now" means "that is its permanent place until 6 months from now, when I have to use a metal scraper to detach the gooey mess leaking from it from the table."
"I'm sure that will come in handy" means "that will join the pile of ambitiously-bought but never-used junk in my apartment."
"I'm sure I just paid that bill" means "Damn! Late again!"
Spider plants hold up very well to not being watered for extended periods. Not forever, though.
If you don't wash a towel for a really, really long time, it eventually will stand up by itself, eliminating the need for a towel rack. Now that I'm an adult I can afford towel racks, and so I wash my towels frequently. By comparison.
The most important thing I've learned, though: another person with ADHD can follow ALL my conversational topic-switching, and follow all the threads, and we can really have five conversations at once! Heck with those other people -- rude of them to flee the room screaming insanely, wasn't it?

The worst thing possible to forget...
One day, manyyears ago Lillie Frog was hungry so she decided to get a bag of chips from the chippy.
She dressed the baby froggling (the brat child) in his little anorack and pushed him down the road in his pushchair and parked him outside the chippy.
Once she had been served, smelling the delicious chips in the bag, she wandered out of theshop and back up the road.
(Can you see what I forgot?)
Yes, half way up the road she hears a pathetic wail from the direction of the shops. Turning round she is astounded to see the kid still there outside the shop, kicking its legs so that the pushchair rolloed backwards and forwards. (yes, I'd forgotten the brake too)
I had too run back down and get him, with all the people in the shop staring at me in an accusing way. It didn't help that I had a moheican, mini skirt and nose ring, I was obviously an incompetant mother anyway.
Other stupid things I've realised.
1. Hoping it won't happen don't stop you getting pregnant.
2. Ignoring the fact that you are pregnant don't make it go away.
Ha Ha.
Life, eh?

i've done the thing where things go back in entirely the wrong places and have on occasion forgotten the entire layout of the kitchen of the house that i've lived in for years and not been able to find anything.
I also have a tendency to entirely forget where I am going - this is usually because i have no particular destination in mind so i quite often stop and change it thus disrupting the flow of whoever may be walking near me too...
Has anyone elses email evolved in snail mail and snail mail to tortoise mail? your average important letter to be posted usually gets carried around for about 3 weeks before actual posting, and the average email sits in the inbox for a similar period and gets deleted by the server..... you may think - phones, that's sounds pretty fail safe - instant contact and all.... nah... i usually miss all my calls....

The best one I ever did was while applying to medical schools, I sent a letter to Duke telling them that I was interested in going to DARTMOUTH. I had stuffed the wrong letter in the wrong envelope and only discovered this when I came back home after mailing it and noticed that the Duke letter was still on my desk with the Dartmouth envelope.
Funny. Duke didn't take me.
