I will notice errors in TV commercials, and someone else might not even know what the commercial was about. (I have also been known to talk back to the TV).
I can mentally visualize a list of things, but forget something from the bathroom to the kitchen.
You would think with all this attention to details I would be a whiz on our Tuesday trivia night.
