Just this weekend I bought $25 worth of Chinese food, ate like 1/3 of it and closed it up to put in the fridge. Something distracted me. 6 hours later I look over and see it still sitting there and I realize I just let 2 meals go bad on my desk. I was so mad. I need to start medicating myself on my days off.
Pots boiled dry on the stove, food found in the microwave the next day, heck I even forgot to pickup a bag of groceries after setting it down in the elevator and didn't notice until my wife asked me where the frozen pizzas were.
Once I forgot to put away three bags of frozen food we had bought for the cabin. Just set the groceries down and left the room and it never even crossed my mind that they even existed.
People without ADHD love to say "Oh we all get distracted!", but seriously, people with ADHD will walk away from the thing they're currently doing and forget it ever happened. I've gone in to the kitchen to make breakfast and spent 2 hours cleaning the microwave. If I didn't have a family that kept me on track I'd probably starve.
