Having a photographic memory also explaines some of the other strange things I come across:
Shopping lists.
Why would you bring a shopping list?
While I’m in the shop I look in my cupboards to see what I need.
Sometimes I will forget to look in a particular cupboard but people who make shopping list also sometimes forget to check a cupboard.
A few weeks back I had to work on an other department for a few days. So the head of that department left his office for a moment to look round in his department to see what kind of work he could offer me. How could he not know what kind of work his department offert? But I also see people walk to there kitchen to see how much sugar they have. How can you not know how much sugar you have?

But the really strange things are phones with built in camera’s and holiday snapshots. Why do most phones have built in camera’s? I never quite got that one. Why would you want to make a picture of something while you were using your phone? Nore did I ever understand why people spent so much time and money making holiday snapshots. My father used to spent hours sorting his snapshots and then sticking them in photo albums. Then the whole family had to watch them and tell my father how beautiful the snapshots where. But they never where.
Now I understand.
After a holiday I have kind of a movie in my mind of everything we did during that holiday. That movie gets more vague over time but even years later I still have a three dimensional full color picture of the places we went.
When I look at pictures I can usely remember the moment the picture was taken. The activity that had to be interupted so everybody could line up for the picture. But even if I wasn’t present when to picture was taken I can remember a picture after seeing it for less then a second. So I tend to flip through a picture album in no time flat.
After I’ve watch someones pictures he is offended because I didn’t appreciate his pictures. I never understood why I should take more time then I need just to give him the impression that I do appreciate them.
