Are they accidents or a deeper problem?
« on: October 10, 2018, 10:30:26 pm »
I know a man who is accident prone. He accidently cracked his rearview car mirror, I replaced it and then weeks later cracked the one I replaced. Last week he broke my flat screen by accidently bumping into it because his cat scratched him. Then one month ago, he ran up on the curve trying to avoid a dog in the street, and bust two tires.  ::) Then he lifts up the cat tree that he put together and the round part the cat sleeps in breaks. Just last week he scratched up a very expensive wooden table stand.  What do you think is up with this behavior?
I just don't get it. I get that things can happen, but I'm very mindful of the things that I do especially if it's going cost me money to fix.

In my opinion it's simply a lack of attention and could be cured if he wanted to change it. I had a kid like that, but once he started paying to fix everything he changed.

I think he's being careless.  Focus.  We all need to focus.

I agree with the others, it’s either being careless or not paying attention to things.

    He is just careless.
    He should pay more attention to his surroundings.

I was thinking maybe ADHD?

He needs to pay attention to what he is doing, some people can just do things in a hurry and not pay attention; perhaps if he had to be finanically responsible for some of these things, his focus might change! ???

An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

Some times  I think hubby is  like that he seems to be careless or not paying attention a lot of times. Bugs the heck out of me and sometimes  it seems like he just doesn't care. I just don't know what it is.  And yet at times he is totally different  and watch's out all of the time.  Men.
