Describe a time you forgot something important.
You should say:
what it was
when you forgot it
what was the consequence
and explain why it was important to you.
Generally I have a very good memory, you might even call it photographic. I’m very good at remembering random facts, so I’m a useful person to have around at a pub quiz. However, once in a while my memory can let me down and one of the most important times was when I forgot my girlfriend’s birthday.

It was a few years ago, when we were both at university. I woke up one morning and sent her a message, as usual, but she didn’t reply. I kept trying to contact her again and again, but she still wouldn’t respond. I began to get worried, so I went to where she was staying and her friends told me she didn’t want to see me. Suddenly it hit me! It had completely slipped my mind that it was her birthday. We had only been going out for a few months and we were both busy with our studies so I guess it just hadn’t really occurred to me.
Needless to say she was not a happy bunny. I went out and bought her a big bunch of flowers and some chocolates and begged her to forgive me. I was in the dog house for a few days, but eventually the dust settled and things got back to normal.
In the grand scheme of things it wasn’t very important, we were both young and in the early stages of our relationship. But it meant a lot to my girlfriend and the whole incident made me more diligent when it comes to our relationship. I’ve certainly never forgotten a birthday since!
