you can always read your list and it cannot be lost unless you delete it on purpose.

Now that is a real pet peeve.  I stopped at Target the other day to pick up one item.  I don't grocery shop there, so I am not familiar with the aisle layout.  

 

Granted, I was in a bit of a hurry, but if I got stopped in my tracks by one more person studying their phone, I could possibly have had a meltdown.  I don't know if they were perusing their grocery list or looking for Cartwheel deals, but they were definitely getting on my last nerve. 😕

I do have a smart phone. It's apparently not smart enough because it can't read my mind and make a list for me. Woman Frustrated

I made a short list last night of things that I needed to be sure and get done today. I can't read my writing on the last item, so don't have a clue what it says. I guess when it doesn't get done, I'll remember. Hate that !


@pattypeep  I'm pretty sure it said:  Good Job, have a nice glass of wine and enjoy the night!

You ladies are one up on me.  I never make a list, relying solely on recall.  And with all the holiday festivities, parties, hostess gifts, etc., I invariably forget something.  I could just kick myself.  

 

@pattypeep  I love when someone says "doggone it".  So cute.  😊

 

LOL. I think dagnabbit might be cuter.  Heart

LOL, in the op you said you could not read your own handwriting by the time you got to the bottom of the list......if you put your list in your phone (either via voice or text) then it should be clear to read.

it could have been a list, it could have been texting, or it could have been a search for a coupon. i will admit i do all of that also, but i do try to push to the side. these types of things dont bother me. i am all about saving money. if i can find a coupon or code or sale information online then i am going to look for it while shopping.

I make lots of notes on paper, as well as in the notes section of my smart phone.  I use abbreviations....then when I go back to them, I can't always figure out what the abbreviations are!
