Is this sentence correct?
More often than not, I ask people for help, but more often than not, I forgot to say thank you.
Can I use "more often than not" to tell about the past? I meant that I still ask people for help but I'm starting to thank them. Do I have to give context clue or it is ok ?

The tenses must be the same in both parts of the sentence. More often than not, I ask people for help, but more often than not, I forg e t to say 'Thank you'. More often than not, I used to ask people for help, but more often than not, I forgot to say 'Thank you'.
