I went to use my laser card yesterday, as I do most days.... And I input the PIN from a laser card I had years ago, twice. I've been racking my brain since then and I genuinely have no idea what my current PIN is. It's like the information just fell out of my head...

Is this normal cause I'm sorta worried!!

Better get checked for Alzheimers man

Yes. There was probably some corruption in your memory so it's had to load the last backup.

Perfectly normal.

Lets not go there, it is a terrible disease and I have seen many people waste away with it. However memory loss is one of the first signs and it can strike as early as the late forties and early fifties and is not some disease which strikes people in their seventies and up as alot of people think.

I'm 23. I've never completely forgotten something so basic. And I use it all the time! I can't even remember what numbers were involved let alone the order of them!!

I completely forgot my PIN last week after being away. Total blank. Tried two old PINs, knowing they wouldn't work. I'm 28.

I call these moments "brain farts".

orchidsrpretty · 30-04-2012 01:23PM

yeah same here, went to use my laser yesterday and it was saying incorrect PIN, don't use it that often though but do have the number written down somewhere.....

Read this thread tried to think or my pin and.....you're not alone. Must be an epidemic, an artificial virus designed to stop a run on the banks!!

I most sincerely hope it is normal otherwise I am fukced as well. I think everyone gets momentary lapses in memory.

I lost my car a week ago at the pavilion in Swords. Then I realised I don't have a car.

Nah I was on the wrong floor of the multi-story car-park.

meoklmrk91 · 30-04-2012 01:32PM

Sometimes when I am in the car I forget where I am going and have to rack my brain for a few minutes to remember.

For instance I was going from one part of town to the nearest aldi, and even though I have driven the route hundreds of times I honestly could not remember where the aldi was. So I got in the car and drove until I found it, it didn't take long because it was like my muscle memory took over from my actual memory and took me there.

I am 21.

I think I must have missed AH. :eek:

Speaking of car parks I once reported my car stolen from the Blanchardstown Shopping Centre. About a half an hour later I realised I'd actually driven there in my mother's car and it was right where I'd left it.

rtron · 30-04-2012 01:45PM

Yes this happened me once, a couple of days after the birth of my son, so my brain was consumed by alot going on :-). It took a day or so before it came back to me. Weird experience though - when I tried to picture the number, all that appeared was a blank _ _ _ _
Whether or not this is normal, I don't know. But I did feel sort of uneasy about the memory loss - Its been over 2 years now but it hasn't happened since.

Unless there are loads of other things I've forgotten but don't know it yet :-)

jester77 · 30-04-2012 01:48PM

My memory can be really bad like that at times.

Worse example I have is my dresser with 4 drawers. The 2 middle drawers, one has socks and underwear, the other has t-shirts. I don't know how many mornings after getting out of the shower I open the wrong drawer to get underwear, surely after a number of years I should be doing it subconsciously

Or this weekend, I got out of the shower and started to towel dry my hair only to see that it was still full of shampoo

I walked around for about 5-10 minutes the other day looking for my car keys..... that were in my hand.

I think I must have even changed hands at one stage while I was lifting the cushions off the sofa.

Just dont think about it, let your subconscious "remember" as you key it in!

frag420 · 30-04-2012 02:27PM

You actually missed the opportunity for a AH style madeleine mccann joke.

Nowadays you're about as likely to find Madeleine McCann jokes on AH as you are to, well, find Madeleine McCann.
