Ever go about doing a daily task and then seconds after completing it you wonder how it happened? Not remembering that you did it? It happened to everyone at some point and there is a name for it but I just cant remember what it is.
Thanks!

It's not FMS either cause these are events that have actually occured. Like, I work at a movie theatre (I'm 16, give me a break) and I thread the film through the projectors. And from time to time when I'd do it moments later i'd say did i just do that. Its tasks that become so normal and so rutine that you do them without even knowing it.

You might want to check out False Memory Syndrome.
A false memory is a memory of an event that DID NOT happen or is a distortion of an event that DID occur as determined by externally corroborated facts.
False memory syndrome (FMS) is the term for the hypothesis describing a state of mind wherein sufferers have a high number of highly vivid but false memories, often of abusive events during their childhood. This condition has been studied, and sufferers have confessed to “entirely made up stories.” However, the DSM-IV does not recognize FMS, although the forgetting of traumatic events constitutes several of the manual's diagnostic criteria for PTSD. The debate over FMS centers largely around the topic of child abuse, wherein alleged victims are said to experience dissociation, which causes repression of the traumatic memory until later in life, when the memory resurfaces either naturally or with the aid of a professional. Many advocates of FMS argue against both methods of memory recovery, claiming that such professionals as therapists and psychiatrists accidentally implant false memories. Specific therapies considered by some to be pseudoscientific, such as past lives therapies have been explained with reference to false memory syndrome. The term and concept were popularized, though not invented, by the False Memory Syndrome Foundation (FMSF).

I think they are referred to as 'senior moments' and they are perfectly normal.
