Just a wee bit disconcerting as I stopped to watch this and have forgotten what I set out to do!

wow,this is so....me.

apparently a whole day is like 15 minutes worth of chores. I think this is a case of a woman deflecting her lack of organization on a fake medical condition.

Stoners will know.

Age-Activated? I've had it all my life and it has definitely gotten worse with age, but I don't think age "activated" it. Is this to say that people can actually develop ADD/ADHD as they get older?

BEST explanation I've EVER seen!! but I don't understand how this is classified comedy. Some may find it funny....spend 15 minutes in my head & I guarantee you'll stop laughing and scream or cry to be let out.

That's my day - exhausting physically & mentally. It's impossible to explain to a boss or sig.other what I've done all day and why nothing on my list is done. That is "a day in the life" and it needn't be age related. I've had this forever. I just want to give that lady a big hug.

Omg this is just like me. Go to the kitchen to eat, then someone texts me, go back to my room, look at computer, remember i have to write paper, start on paper, then remember i have to call someone, call someone, then remember i have to clean up my room. then remember i have to do math homework, then remember i have to walk my dog, etc...... and the rest of the evening is just me being distracted by the tv or the computer

When I saw the box of condoms on the night table, I remembered why I got my hair done and was wearing my good dress and new knickers; I was supposed to pick up Nigel after I washed the car for a fun candlelight evening... I forgot where I put the candles.
