I absolutely did not mean my post as a slight against people with ADHD, I sometimes struggle with deficient attention and focus myself, and I've done similar things to what you describe, especially if I've been tired or stressed out. My post was meant as a critique of otherwise normally-functioning adults who are somehow completely deficient in completely basic skills, and even lack the tools or willingness to apply previous experiences and learn how to do things. They're lacking the very basic skill of being able to learn, which I think is terrifying.
