Source Amnesia

Corporate amnesia

When a corporate directive is given, resources allocated and countless hours spent on an initiative, only to be questioned later (by the executive who actually gave the directive) why this directive is being executed and demanding to know who gave the directive.

Executive: I demand to know why we spent $958,000 on studying the t-sprocket usefulness when clearly we’re getting out of the t-sprocket business.

About to be fired employee: you did, sir. The executive was inflicted with corporate amnesia but fired the employee anyway.

Internet Amnesia

That moment when you open a new tab and are about to do something - then you totally forget what you were doing.

Person 1: I was mindlessly wasting my life away on Tumblr so I decided to open a new tab and OH SHIT WHAT THE F*CK was I going to do.

Person 2: Shit, you must have internet amnesia.

Social Amnesia

The awkward act of pretending you don't know anything about a friend or acquaintance's story, even though it's been thoroughly posted about on Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, etc.

IN REAL LIFE

Girl: So I went to Colorado this weekend with my boyfriend...

Boy (in head): ... yeah, I know. It's plastered all over my damn newsfeed. Looks like I'm about to come down with a case of social amnesia.

Age Amnesia

A disorder that usually hits when a person gets in their 40s, sometimes it can his as early as their 30s.

People with age amnesia forget that they've have ever been kids, teenagers, or 20somethings and start to criticize the current young population as if they themselves were never a child, teen, or 20something.

People suffering from age amnesia suffer from forgetting they themselves were once teens with raging hormones or noisy little bastards. This comes with a steep misunderstanding of the young, as sufferers of age amnesia have never been a child.

Middle Age Man - "Kids these days all they do is watch TV, smoke weed, and eat bad foods"

20something - "You were a hippie back then, didn't you do the same?"

Middle Age Man - "IT WAS DIFFERENT BACK THEN!"

20something - "Whatever man, you got that Age Amnesia"

Film School Amnesia (FSA)

Getting drunk at film festival party, and forgetting that you dedicated a weepy speech to the executive producer.

"Oh My God, Benji Lim! You don't remember taking the mic at the 15malaysia party and giving a weepy speech to the producers and shouting freedom at the end like Mel Gibson in Braveheart?? You've got Film School Amnesia (FSA)!"
