In high school I once pointed at a blackboard eraser and couldn’t even remember how to say “thing” and then I shouted “borrador!” because I could apparently only operate in Spanish at that point.

I speak three languages* and at least a few times a day the word I can think of is not in the language I’m speaking.
*Poorly. I am only fluent in one.

My across the street neighbor got a new dog. I assume he got the dog to guard his yard which has a lot of expensive tools, etc in it. I understand his desire for security as our neighborhood is…not the greatest…I don’t agree with the use of a dog for security, but that’s besides the point. Anyway, the dog lives outside 24/7 and barks at everything that breathes within a 10 mile radius. So he’s doing a great job at being a guard dog. But like…when can I sleep? When do they sleep? I’m so tired.

I lose the ability to know words any time it becomes important for me to look smart on demand.
I forgot “computer monitor” yesterday. It became “thing that shows the pictures when I write programs.” I’m a software engineer

My mother in law found out we really like the magnetic close sleepers for the baby and so has been ordering us them off eBay. Yay right? Except every single one (3 so far) are sizes she’s already outgrown 
How do I convey gratitude but this doesn’t work vibes?

“Thank you so much, we really appreciate blah blah. Unfortunately, Coffee Bean is (needed size) already so they don’t fit, but we so appreciate your thoughtfulness.”

I bought the cheapest TV and am learning that it isn’t compatible with basically any app ever. It has this weird little app store with off-brand apps that will let me watch weird cartoons in other languages, for a fee.
I just want to watch Brooklyn Nine Nine in the living room! Help!

I did not expect to spend the last hour squeezed behind my new washer with water spraying all over me. But now the hot water appears to be working, and laundry is being done! My contractor thought the valve was on, but it wasn’t. Plus I took the opportunity to flush the air bubbles out of the hot line.

What brand is it? Does it have an HDMI port you could plug a laptop into?
Some people will do anything to avoid getting in the shower, geez.

Yes. And I can download things and put them on an external hard drive. There are workarounds. But it’s still a pain in the ass when I want it to work without any effort on my part.
If I get a Chromecast dongle will that fix everything?

I was just about to get in the shower when Daughter waltzed in and put herself in there.

Looks like it should but I haven’t seen anything that directly said yes or no.
