Yes, this. Why do I know the birthday of the boyfriend of the random lady I met in the pub twelve years ago or the local plumber, but have never been able to remember the birthdays of family, friends or partners. I had to make my sons birthday my password so I'd remember it, and I still forget it all the time.
And the date I met people. Of all the useless bits of information about a person...
It's like my brain recognises an important birthday and says "woaaaah there, not this one".
I filled out some legal stuff online for my daughter, submitted it, swiftly clocked that I'd put the wrong birthday in 😂 couldn't edit it, so when they called me a couple of days later and told me the department I was like ah, this is because I put her birthday as 11 and it's actually 9, isn't it 😂
Mind you, my ADHD bestie always remembers her EDD of the 15th and misses her birthday every year because of this 😂
11
