Forgetfulness.
I am known among my friends for having a terrible memory.
This has ranged from forgetting how to spell the word "green" to not remembering I had agreed to date someone...

So what things have seeped out of your head that really shouldn't have?

A couple of years ago
at work I had a complete brain fart, and just sat in front of my pc wondering exactly what one of my system passwords was and during that time all of my other passwords promptly took the opportunity to leg it as well, I forgot them all!! about 30 different logins all vanished in total!

In the end I had to change them all, took me hours to amend the whole bloody lot of them!

I love Brain Fart
I get that at work all the time.

I tell the children that I'm making them be independent by having to look the words up in a dictionary.

Hmm...
My memory isn't so much bad as variable. I did next to no work for three out of my four A levels because I found that I could just remember whatever I needed (grades A, B, C). This carries over to pub quizzes and useless trivia - I'm the first person invited to pub quizzes by my friends.

It does, however, fall down on some points. I cannot remember the following things at all:

Faces and Names (these are particularly bad - I can forget someone's name in the space of a 2 minute conversation. Unless they're really attractive).

Directions - especially when driving myself.

Dates and appointments

The names really are the worst though - it's not uncommon for me to forget someone's name five times (often to their face) before it sticks. It's embarrassing for me and for them. Really not good.
