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.

Forgot To Move His Stairs Back After Vacuuming & Found Him Like This

My little guy uses a camel saddle to get up on the bed. Most of the time, if someone is in the bed, he stands there and cries until we invite him up. If no one is in the bed, he just hops up. Weirdo.

Forgot To Give Him His "Go" Command For Food. Poor Wee Pudding Sat There For About Ten Minutes And Didn’t Make A Peep
Shannimal 4 months ago (edited)
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!

My Mom's brain went wonky like that during menopause. It was funny until it was my turn. Menopause brain is worse than pregnant brain!
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.
Studies have shown that people can retrieve blocked memories in as little as one minute.

I Put Water In, The Pod In, Selected Temperature, Pressed Start, Went To The Bathroom. Guess I Forgot A Step.
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.

My Tired Mother Accidentally Washed A Loaf Of Bread With Her Laundry
My mom owns a bakery and pushes up on 80 hours a week. She decided to make some traditional stollen bread for the holidays and tossed this loaf into a bag with laundry to wash at home. Long story short she forgot to remove the stollen before dumping the laundry in. I think she needs some time off.

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

No way would I be rescheduled because of their screw up especially with an infection. This happened to me last year for a hand surgery, the guy didn't finish the check-in. When the nurse took me back she asked why we were late. Me and my sister told her at the same time we weren't late I was early and the front desk didn't finish check-in
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.

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.

Since we were switching Airbnb's that day, the van was packed to the hilt. There were a few soda cans sitting on the back cargo shelf.

The Author Forgot To Use Spaces In This Book, It Happened Multiple Times
Corvus 4 months ago
I'm pretty sure it wasn't the author who did this - it actually takes a lot more effort to write like this, than to write normally. It's probably a technical issue from the printing house.

Or a bad proofreader, although that's gone by the wayside now we have AI and Amazon expects us to do their proofreading for them.

That's not down to editing - the missing step was proofreading. And if the publisher really couldn't afford a proof-reader - well, they could have asked the author.

Forgot To Take My Belt Off…
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 Just Wanted To Feed My Kitties
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.

How old are you that you don't know how canned food works? C'mon, read the post. They said the cans were crushed and broken open. No amount of leaving them out would account for this and they wouldn't rot this badly unless opened.

You can still use them! All you need to do is cut into small pieces to fit in a standard seed growth mix in planters or for direct seeding in a plant bed just place the entire sheet, and spray with water to moisten before planting. Paper is biodegradable and will not cause any problem for the seeds.

Well, the pic of the X-ray with the glasses on reminded me of when I was a kid and my Father had to stop in to his doctor's clinic for a chest X-ray. They were pretty casual about those things, and he didn't have to stay long. We were putting our coats on, when a nurse came running out and said to wait - they'd seen a 'foreign object' in his left lung. So, we took our coats off, and I went along in to the office. And there was a life-size picture of my Dad's chest, with a little metal thing inside one lung. My Dad laughed and pulled the Bic pen out of his shirt pocket and asked if this looked about right? Bics were a new thing - all plastic except for the tiny metal nib, that held the ball. The nurse and Dr. were split between relieved and irritated. I asked if we could keep the picture.
