I have a soft spot in my heart for absent-minded people since I'm one of them. I'd like to blame it on my age, but I've been like this my whole life.
Many is the time I've popped up from my desk and strode across the office only to stand there trying to remember why it was I came. I know if I don't write it down it won't happen. Sometimes I'll say, "Hey Siri, email me," and when she says, "What's the subject of the email?" I've already forgotten.
Reminds me of a conversation between two absent-minded engineers:
"My memory is so bad!" says the first one.
"How bad is it?" says the other.
"How bad is what?"
