What are some of your funniest IH brain fog moments?

We’ve all had those moments where IH brain fog caused us to do something completely hilarious, baffling, or slightly embarrassing.

Whether it's pouring orange juice into your cereal, putting your shoes on the wrong feet, or completely forgetting your own zip code at the post office, we want to hear it.

Sharing these moments reminds us that we aren’t alone, and sometimes, laughing about the absurdity of this condition is the best medicine.

  1. One of my many embarrassing brain fog moments was not being able to find my cell phone. I searched my whole house and car, but was unsuccessful (or so I thought). I needed to let my boss know I was going to be late to work, so I proceeded to call him, ON MY CELL PHONE, to tell him that I couldn't find it but that I'd be on my way. When he told me that his caller ID showed I was calling from my cell phone, I was initially confused. But then suddenly I realized I had my cell phone in my hand the whole time. I was so embarrassed because I could only imagine how crazy my boss must have thought that I was!!

    1. Sadly, I've done something similar. 😂 I grabbed my cell phone to see if I could use Life360 to find my cell phone. My kids still haven't let me forget that one! Even if your boss never admits it, I'll bet he's done something like that before, too. - Lori (Team Member)

  2. Sheer absurdity 😂😂

    After a full day of searching for my car/house keys, I just accepted that I’d never be able to leave my house again lol. Nearing the end of day 2, I began to wash clothes. Opened the dryer and there were my keys!

    I misplaced stuff regularly but that was the weirdest place.

    1. Ugh! I'm glad you finally found them. No damage to the fob, I hope. - Lori (Team Member)

    2. thankfully no damage.
