Nope none at all

I used to go into the kitchen, fill the electric kettle and minutes
later end up pouring cold water into my mug, never having switched the
thing on in the first place. Done a similar thing with putting bread
into the toaster but not turning that on either.

Then there's putting a pot of something on the cooker but never
switching that on.

Have made any number of recipes, leaving out a key, but available,
ingredient.

Take comfort in the fact that it's *not* age related!
