There’s nothing inherently wrong with being forgetful at times. However, these momentary memory lapses may sometimes lead to messy yet comical disasters. 

These images from the Well That Sucks subreddit are prime examples. The name itself is self-explanatory, but the photos we’ve collected feature people’s hilarious mishaps after forgetting something important. 

May this list serve as a reminder not to leave your car window open while getting a car wash, or take out the food from the oven before taking a nap… unless you want to deal with the chaotic aftermath.

    My husband did that with our 2 pups by accident and few weeks ago. He filled their dishes and walked away. He didn't realize until maybe 20mins later when they were still just laying there. He gave them the "OK" command and spent the rest of the night apologizing and giving them treats!

    Unlike the cat here, if she didn't get treats, she would gently smack me with one paw to make notice! Miss her.

    Our dog was this obedient too. One time my mom got a phone call before she said 'go', and then she forgot. When she walked back into the room 10 minutes later our poor dog was still sitting there waiting, with a puddle of drool on the floor underneath her head 😄

    It's a dish made for dogs that eat too fast because it can cause them issues with digestion. Those kind of dish helps the dog (or cat) eat slower and not be sick after the meal.

    I see that someone has never had a "gulper" pet who snorfs down all the food in 1.5 seconds and then regurgitates it all back up immediately XD It's called a "slow feeder" and, actually, for dogs it can be mentally stimulating, as it gives them something to "think about" and "work on" and problem-solve instead of just swallowing mouthfuls of slop or kibble.

    Especially for aging adults, memory problems can be a precursor to more serious cognitive issues. But before you hit the panic button, it’s worth knowing the typical lapses that, according to Harvard Medical School, are still considered normal. 

    Absentmindedness, for example, happens when we fail to pay close attention to what we are doing. It could very well be a case of having a busy, preoccupied mind, and the brain wasn’t able to encode information securely.

    Mental blocks are another form of memory lapse that shouldn’t be a cause for concern. It’s another common occurrence as we age, wherein, for some reason, a piece of information we already know suddenly slips us. It could be an answer to a question or even someone’s name.

    So, how can you tell that memory loss has reached alarming levels? Dr. Alexanda Petrakos, who works as a geriatrician at Northwestern Medicine, says it’s when forgetfulness begins to interfere with everyday life. 

    Some examples she mentioned include the frequent repetition of questions, misplacing items in unusual places, such as a freezer, and forgetting routine tasks like paying bills.

    Waited An Hour At The Doctors Office Only To Be Told They Never Checked Me In

    Person wearing white slip-on shoes and green skirt, holding crutches in a waiting room, highlighting funny unfortunate situations.

    First post op appointment after my knee surgery and after developing an infection. Very important I be seen today. Took off work for this appointment because one of my pre op appts had a 2-hour wait. I had to be driven here because I can’t drive myself.

    Walked up to the front desk when I arrived and then was told I was good to sit down, they’d check me in because of my crutches. Waited about an hour and then asked how much longer. They said they forgot to check me in.

    The person I talked to said she would have to check if I’d be able to be seen today. I definitely had some kinda look on my face because her coworker saw me and was like no no no just add her to the schedule and we’ll explain.

    Ouch. After being hit by a car, I had an eye doctor appointment. The receptionist wrote the day correctly but changed the month. I went there in a big coat in a sleet, the coat was dropping, soaked through and I learnt I missed my appointment by a month. New appointment was on the first day of the first lockdown. Zero patients, so all the exams done right away.

    Other signs Dr. Petrakos mentioned were getting lost in a familiar area and having trouble managing medications at home. When these symptoms persist, she advises getting cognitive screening tests. 

    "If your results are abnormal, your physician will refer you to a specialist, such as a neurologist, geriatrician, or neuropsychologist, for further evaluation,” she said.

    Now, if you’re fortunate enough not to have memory problems, there are ways to preserve it. Cedars-Sinai geriatrician Dr. Zaldy S. Tan urges getting enough sleep, engaging in regular exercise, eating a healthy diet, and participating in social interactions. 

    Dr. Tan also advises against using prescription sleep aids and benzodiazepines and recommends being aware of drastic mood changes. But his most important piece of advice is proper stress management because elevated cortisol levels are an “underrecognized” cause of memory loss.

    Have a neighbor who occasionally leaves a tap on the side of their house abutting my yard on at night. I think he’s usually draining his water softener system or something, but a couple of times he’s forgotten it late at night and absolutely flooded our front yard (not a lot of space between houses, plus a water table close to the surface means lots of water). I try to be respectful of other peoples’ property, but I turn it off when he does this. I don’t need water damage to my home because my neighbor got careless.

    C*****d glass door of a washing machine showing a funny unfortunate situation of forgotten item damage.

    Got called in for a later shift today and only had three hours, so I tried to do a quick wash on all of my laundry, 2 loads… the second load I didn’t realize had my belt in it still attached to my jeans until I came down right before leaving for work with the culprit smack dab on top… Glad I picked up that extra shift.

    I did what I could and honked when I rolled in and she rolled out, she did exit the vehicle and take the fuel cap off of the fuel door and close everything back up but I watched with fear as the water jets repeatedly passed.

    I Just Wanted To Feed My Kitties

    Spilled cans of cat food on the ground and damaged cans inside a torn box, depicting a funny unfortunate situation.

    I had just purchased this box of cat food the week prior. I had noticed a faint odor, but couldn't figure out where it was coming from. I thought it was just a random city smell and forgot all about it.

    Cue yesterday, time to feed the kitties (most feral), so I go to open their new box of food. The box has been sitting on some bricks for a few days. By the smells, I thought a rat had somehow got in the box and died, so I dumped it.

    Nope. Somehow, some cans had been busted or crushed open. That smell was rot, mold and bugs. Do maggots leave exoskeleton shells behind? That crusty mess is bug shells. It smelled like dead rat and rotten stuff.

    Of course I'd thrown away my receipt, so that's long gone. I did purchase with card, but I don't be able to get back to that store (Walmart) until Monday morning. Hopefully they'll be able reprint it. I've already contacted Friskies and they're offering to send me a coupon to replace the items. I just need store/purchase info first. There is NO way this is going back in my car. Directly into the garbage.

    Luckily I had some cans of kitten foods I'd been saving.

    Normally, I pack my lunch the night before but forgot, so I grabbed a can of soup this morning. Turns out I took the wrong can, and it didn't have a pull tab. This is why I can't pack a lunch before leaving for work.

    Pro-tip: Never run appliances when you aren't home. Inconvenient but the absolute mayhem they can cause when something goes wrong and no one is home to notice is unparalleled.

    She was pulled away by her bodyguards before I could take another. She was kind though and chose to come over to our little group, no one rushed at her or anything (just for clarification). This was right after her and Pete Davidson got engaged. So he was there, and Frankie Grande was there which was cool

    Fold in one direction. Pinch. Fold in other direction. Pinch. Repeat until frustration sets in and you end up settling for using one of the exposed edges of the box as a makeshift cutting utensil.

    Made My Strawberry PB Smoothie But In Two Different Cups

    Two different colored drinks with a single order for a strawberry PB&J reflecting funny unfortunate situations.

    I got a large strawberry banana PB smoothie but they made the first one in a small cup with just the PB part. I asked them ab the size and she said she forgot the strawberries and was wondering why it turned into a small. She remade the large with just the strawberry part. It feels like a deconstructed smoothie and I look so big backed in class rn drinking two separate smoothies.
