the Main Character gets a total brain blackout, not just once but for something like ten pages...
Hmm... Bad case of falling in love/lust. Nervousness around difficult boss. Blind spot is linked to some past trauma character can't remember. Or if all else fails, a mysterious brain-eating virus? Actually what often works is to acknowledge how silly it was for MC to forget whatever it is, so that alert readers can feel all smug, then swiftly move on.
