At a party in 2008, this troper, his girlfriend, and her best friend had all agreed to have a threesome. After some unfortunate circumstances that led to the prevention of this threesome (by the group Jerkass), the best friend was driven home because she was 'too drunk'. Cue the next morning, where the best friend claimed she had NO MEMORY of the night before, this proposition (hers, actually), or its acceptance. Now the best friend has gone to the other end of the country, leaving this troper in dire need of sexual conquest catharsis.

This troper's friend, upon having a bad break-up and getting every other member of Drama Club pissed at her for trying to slander him afterward, fell and lightly tapped her head on the ground to try and fake amnesia, claiming to have lost memory of everything from the first day of her freshman year. What made it a true wallbanging moment was that many people without knowledge of amnesia, including at least one of her teachers, ''believed it''. Of course, when people began to suspect that it was a charade, she suddenly began regaining memories at a very fast rate.

So, how many people here have used the "I somehow forgot" defense, truthfully or not? Come on, raise your hands.

Yes, dear god yes. I manage to forget things I read a few seconds ago.

My memory makes folk who are senile look like elephants who never forget. I've been in class with you for a month? Nope, even though I talk to you every day, I don't know your name.

Me too. I usually DO forget things, but since everyone knows that my memory sucks, sometimes I use this as an excuse - anyways, most of the time I've REALLY forgotten.

Are you me?

In a subversion of Type 3 LGA, this troper watched a play in which one of the characters has antegrade amnesia and has a girl fall in love with him. Not surprisingly, said character forgets about her, while she never forgets about him. Think hard about it and you have yourself a TearJerker.

I have to say "Hey you!" so many times its not even funny. Names and directions just do not stick in my head. And having 60+ cousins does NOT help. -__-

This Troper has this, he thinks...emphasis on thinks... He has really, really bad memory, and if he really doesn't want to memorize something...well, he doesn't, no matter how many times you make him read it. There's a reason he can't do more then add or subtract basic numbers in his head... And he's forgotten large chunks of his childhood because he was ashamed of himself at those ages... :(

This Troper has almost a photographic memory...for stuff she finds interesting. If not, well...

You're not alone. I can remember subject-related stuff for college, as well as ten times more unrelated trivia facts and anecdotes. However, if you ask me what I was doing five minutes ago, or the name of someone I was just introduced to, it's unlikely I'll be able to remember! I once forgot ''my own name'' for a few seconds when sitting an exam (you have to write your name in on the front of the paper, they're not printed). Makes for another funny anecdote though!

This Troper's memory is random at best, I can pay attention for an entire hour then forget it all or remember some minuscule detail no one noticed.

''Memento'' inspired me to plan on tattooing a codephrase onto the back of my hand in case I ended up with short-term memory disease. Wake up in the morning, look down, see tattoo, live life the best I can, repeat every time I forget.

This Troper can remember almost every single character from any TV show she's watched, yet she can't remember the names of the people in her class.
