Relatable. My partner termed it best when he made the observation that I treat my environment like a matte painting in a cartoon. If I place something down and don't make some kind of mental note it's gone. Dissolved into the matte painting and requires playing a hidden object game to solve. Whereas if I made some kind of note even "that's interesting" I will remember for weeks where something was.

Enfuriatingly "have you seen my..." sometimes gets answered with "have you checked the matte painting?" bloody lucky they're cute enough to get away with it.
