The Things Most Often Forgotten

I was relieved to find out that I’m not the only one who forgets things. Everyone does at one time or another, according to Karen Bolla, A Johns Hopkins researcher. The things most often forgotten:

Names 83%
Where something is 60%
Telephone numbers 57%
Words 52%
What was said 49%
Faces 42%

And if you can’t remember whether you’ve just done something, you join 38 percent of the population. (Our Daily Bread, December 27, 1996)
