    I’m the other kind of ADHD : “A package? Thanks for the kind gift past me, I wonder what you got me because I have completely forgotten about it!” Then “Ooooh it’s the thing I couldn’t live without then I forgot all about it! Cool!”

      Same here. Ordered something last week and it’s still in “ordered” status with no shipment or tracking confirmation. Brain can not stop thinking if it will actually be here on time with only a day and a half left.

    I’m probably just overthinking it, but the more I see these ADHD comics/memes, I feel like I’ve been living my entire life undiagnosed.

      or most of these memes aren’t exclusive to ADHD at all… like getting excited about something you’re waiting for, wow what a unique experience to people with one particular diagnosis.

        Have you ever accidentally shit your pants? Congrats, you have IBS.

        They’re not exclusive to ADHD, but if you experience these things all the time and they are literally interfering with your ability to lead a happy life it could be.

        Just like how shitting your pants once or twice in your adult life isn’t the same as having a problem that causes you to shit your pants much more than the average person.

      Yeah I’ve setup DHL deliveries to automatically deliver everything addressed to me to a nearby package locker. I always get my packages way sooner than if I let the delivery driver come to my house. Like a package normal arrives at 15.00h at the latest in the locker. A DHL delivery to my house doesn’t come until 19.00h and it’s fuck knows when it actually arrives. I once had a delivery driver at my door at 23.00h

    Me, the one time I order something every year: “Oh shit oh shit oh shit are they gonna bring it to my door? the depot? Or maybe they’ll leave it at the post office again or shit maybe they’ll try to find my house but can’t because google maps sucks here and they’ll take it back and someone will give me crap for living in a place that doesn’t exist oh shit oh shit oh shit I’m never ordering something ever again it’s all gonna fail! I better call the depot and let them know that something might be dropped off with them…”

    Meanwhile, my wife who orders 5 billion things that all arrive without incident: “Oh neat! Another parcel! I forgot I ordered this!”

    Leaving packages at the door is so uncool, they should either put it inside, behind a fenced of area or just return it to the nearest pickup point

      As long as they don’t leave it in the stoner nook it’s fine.

      Great place to get rid of old furniture though. Put my old busted computer chair down there and saw them wheeling it off. When I got back inside.
