ok, i know some of us do this, but i believe i'm worse about it than others (and i was doing this crap in my 20s, so i cant blame it on aging). 
i wanted to burn a CD, so i put the originating CD in. then i got up, ripping the house up trying to find the CD i just copied for burning.  i've looked for my reading glasses (atop of my head), car keys (in my hand or right in front of me), and the list goes on.
the worst? i was 20 years old and approaching the house. i looked in my usual parking space, and my car was gone! i started thinking i needed to go in the house and call a cop. then i realized, i was driving my car. i've been en route to the funny farm ever since. i wonder when i'll get there --

Lecri, it's okay...I've come to this conclusion: some of us just use our available brain space for bigger & better things. (I'll keep telling everybody this until somebody believes it  )

Hey, how about swearing because you can't find your glasses next to the bed where you put them everynight, because you fell asleep wearing them, and if you didn't have them on, you wouldn't have been able to see far enough to notice that they weren't there!

I was concerned the stove was on all night. I had a headache and was worried it could have been from the gas.
Called a friend who calmly reminded me I have an electric stove.

I once woke up and noticed that the clock said 6:45 and thought I was going to be late for work. I rushed around, got a quick shower and went to turn off the TV on my way out the door when I noticed that the evening news was on.
I wasn't going to be late, I was going to be early by about 12 hours.
Here's one I did just the other day. I was working and lost my hammer right where I was working and it irritated me. I grabbed another hammer and the first swing with the second brought the one I lost down on my head from the beam where I left it.

I believe it!
Very often I'm really into doing something, or several things at once, lay something down and forget where I put it just moments later!  Tools, flashlights, papers, etc. I always do find them, eventually, usually by backtracking.

How about when you're in college in a class and you're super stressed out and you start to look everywhere around you for your pencil. Moving all your stuff looking all over the ground before you realize the pencil is in your hand...I've done that a couple times.

I've done almost all of the above. This is not really the same thing, but I have almost walked out of the house wearing just a slip, and when I walked past the mirror, I noticed I had forgotten to put my skirt on. I've also walked out forgetting my undies (at least I did have a skirt on that time).

I got halfway to work once and noticed that I had a workboot on one foot and a tennis shoe on the other.

Driving a friend's car while he was working on mine, I stopped to fill it with gas before returning it.
I went inside to pre-pay, returned to the island, and put the gas in a car that looked just like mine.
When the guy who owned the car returned from the pre-pay line, we had a big laugh and he filled the car I was driving.
It was so funny, neither of us looked to see who got the better of the deal.

This is a funny thread. Guess I'll add my little blunder. This happened some years ago...my girls were teenagers. We had gone to the grocery store, and I had bought the big economy pack of tissue paper. We all brought in the groceries and put things away. Well, the next day or two the tissue paper couldn't be found. Searched high and low, but it wasn't there, yet we all remembered that it was in the car. Ended up going to get more. A week or so later, the original package was found...alas, by one of the girls. I had put it in the freezer. Guess I figured it needed to be on ice...LOL...hmm...hey, that might be a new help for hemorrhoids!!!

This might belong in the lucid dreaming thread, but when I first started rehabbing squirrels and started getting in the really little babies who need 'round-the-clock care, I'd have dreams - nightmares, really - that they were in bed with me while I was sleeping. It was bad enough that once I woke up in a panic because one of the cats was about to get the baby, but the worst, and funniest, was dreaming that the baby fell over the side of the bed onto the floor. I sat up, turned on the light, and was leaning over looking for it before I realized that in actuality everyone was safe and snug in their little critter boxes and I'd only been dreaming.

When I was around twenty I was dating a gal Named Kandi.
One weekend her and I attended a party put on by one of my best friends,and yours truly got pretty snockered.
Finally about two in the morning I was pretty worn out so I decided to head for home.
I was in bed and dead asleep when the phone rang at around Four thirty the same morning.
I answered it and discovered it was Kandi, she asked me if I happened to forget anything at the party,,, I thought and thought but couldnt think of anything, so I said " if I did it must not have been anything very important".
The phone was silent for a long time , then she said,,, I am still here.
I was wide awake now !
I told her Id be right there and jumped up put my clothes on and flew to my buds place.
I doubt I need to tell you she wasnt to happy with me.
