FabSwingers.com forum: I replied in my head

By (user no longer on site) OP

Does anyone else do this? The amount of times Ive thought I've replied to an email or message only to discover I only replied in my head and never sent anything

Not helpful when trying to plan stuff. Is it just me that seems to have the memory of a goldfish?

I do this all the time, and then I realise and too much time has gone by so I’d look like a knob replying

Yeah I'm guilty of this. I kind of have my inbox time and my forum time. Sometimes I can check my inbox, go back the forum and then forget to reply.

My wife does it a lot.

“Did you get x?”

“No, you didn’t ask for one”

“Yes I did”

“Uh-uh….nope.”

“I did!”

“Nope”

“I…”

“Still nope”

Always yes! My head is very organised and answers straight away. My fingers and keyboard take a lot longer or never to get round to it

I'm really bad for this, or finding things in drafts that I've been waiting on a response to.

Not with emails usually because I can flag it or mark it unread for later. Other messages yeah. And this is why I don't use s napcht because when the message is gone I'll forget what was even sent nevermind that I should reply.

I’m terrible with text messages. I’ve typed out my reply and think I’ve sent it. Get a bit “wtf is taking them so long to reply” and on checking my phone I haven’t sent the bloody message. It’s just sat there waiting to go.

Not emails for work because well.. I'd be a pretty useless employee if I forgot to reply!

But with friends/family/fab then yeah, totally forget to actually reply sometimes.

Nope…. If I have thought of a reply then I normally type it and send it.

If they take 24hrs then that’s basically a new day, new convo

No but the answers I compose in my head are far better - I wish I could send them and keep my job

I quite often type it out then stunningly fail to hit send and then notice it hours later when I’m wondering why they haven’t replied again
