It's not uncommon for me to walk into a room and then wonder what I went in there for. 

Is this normal?

I've dodged my coffin at least eight times.   

The Grim Reaper might get me next time though.

It's so common that it has a name - the doorway effect.

[Varche]

That doorway effect is linked to another one.

Example. You go upstairs to get the other suitcase. As you enter the room you see that “ green Safeway” shopping box. I wondered where that had gone. Take it down and fill it with glass recycling. Take out to garage. On way see plants are looking dry in pots. Give em a good watering. Fitting on hose needs tightening. Can’t do it with old hands. Off to garage for mole grips. Can’t find them but do see something I am repairing . Glue has done a good job so reassemble. Pleased with result. Go back inside.
Where is that suitcase? Says OH . I am waiting to put all these winter clothes in it. What have you been doing?

[countrywoman]

I have been like that forever, put tools down I am using and cant see them, cant remember folks name I have known for years. Its my dyslectic brain!!

[Raeturbo]

Time to start worrying is when you go into the bathroom and forget what you went in there for🤣

I'd never heard of that. Just had a read up about it, fascinating.

I once forgot a newish girlfriends name while chatting to her Dad. 

My mind just went blank. It was obvious to him as well and I couldn't retrieve the situation. Don't think he was very impressed to be honest.                     

The relationship didn't last long after that and she went on to marry a naval officer.                       

[Doctor Gollum]

I am rubbish with names, flying with different people everyday doesn't help matters
