50 Times People Forgot Something And Ended Up In Hilariously Unfortunate Situations (New Pics)
Some degree of forgetting is a core element of human function, allowing us to get rid of information for which we no longer have much use.
However, our mind, as powerful a supercomputer as it is, still isn't 100 percent efficient and can delete files we still need.
Curious about the consequences of brain.exe errors, we at Bored Panda went digging around the internet and uncovered a plethora of pictures. From abandoned Coke bottles in freezers to phones left beneath industrial paper cutters, there's a wide range of possible scenarios.

Smash and grab incident in NW Houston. Initially forgot I had an AirTag in the bag for a few hours. When I remembered, I went to the location and managed to recover the bag, which had been run over and shredded for the most part, along with my passport. Lost a laptop and work documents valued at about $150, as well as a couple of DeWalt batteries, and they smashed two windows. Reminder: Don't leave your belongings in plain sight.

Always Check Your Oven Before Turning It On, Kids
I had a small kitchen renovation done and thought I'd protect my pan and cast iron skillet from dust by storing them in the oven. First time using them since the renovation was completed, and I completely forgot they were there. I kept it in a bag so it wouldn't get full of cat hair.
There is no cat hair there. Mission accomplished.

Repairmen Unplugged Our Freezer To Charge Their Drill But Forgot To Plug It Back In. Two Days Later, All The Food Is Defrosted
Makes me recall my daughter(800 miles away), when her husband was away for a few weeks. Called me asking how to get rid of all the flies in her house. "Where are they coming from?" "I don't knowwwww!" "Check around" "Seem to be coming from the garage" "Is your freezer on?" "I don't know..."no" Outlet died, SIL is a HUGE fisherman, and hunter. All game and fish bad. "Can I keep the freezer?"(after cleaning the disgusting mess out of it) "Yup!, as long as you want all future food to smell that bad." You will NEVER get rid of the odor.

My Kids Spent All Day Yesterday Making This Gingerbread House
I had my oven preheating to make dinner and forgot that they placed the house in there so my cat wouldn't ruin it in 5 seconds... Well, this is the aftermath. They're on the way home from school now and they don't have a clue yet. Happy Wednesday, I guess.

When You Take A Nice 30-Minute Morning Walk For Your Opening Shift And Realize That You've Forgotten Your Keys
In the days before cellphones, I worked as a security guard. Walked 2 miles to work and back every day. Got off work one morning & there was a snow storm going on. I had just enough cash to get a cab ride home instead of walking through the storm. The phone rang right after I got home. My relief wanted to know where the keys were. In my pocket, of course. I then went on a 4 mile hike through the storm.

Did My Laundry Only To Remember I Left My Switch In The Basket. Water Damage Beyond Repair
if you don't turn it on (or light up the screen in this case), frequently electronics will dry out, and often enough, they continue to work, if perhaps a little wonky. I have dropped many a thing into puddles and pools, or left it out in the rain. gave it a few days to a week to dry, and it usually still worked. not always though, and I never use rice

Forgot To Add Water To The Pot While Steaming Vegetables
I attempted to multitask by cooking veggies indoors while also keeping an eye on the grill outside. The pork was saved, but I can’t say the same for the oven.

well, should have specified. Seems like the "used" just meant "currently used by somebody else"
Just Got My New PC Because My Old One Broke The First Day Of Christmas. They Forgot To Put In The Graphics Card
If this was during covid, it may not have been a mistake. Lots of shenanigans went on with video cards during that time. I tried ordering a new card and got one that was clearly and badly used. The seller had no explanation and no new card to send. I tried another vendor and I received another "new" card that had clearly been removed from the package, badly dropped, and then put back in the box. They also had no explanation or other card to send. These weren't accidents.

NGL, I have found mouldy food in my cupboard or air fryer in the past and always feel dirty and disgusted with myself, reading all of these posts make me feel better about myself
One time we were stoned and drinking. I had the bright idea that I wanted waffles. Went to make waffles. Came back to remove the waffles only to find that apparently shortly before, during that same evening, I had made waffles, forgotten about them in the waffle maker, and poured the new waffle batter on top of the existing waffles and had burned them both. 🤦
Thank you for this. I didn’t realize how badly I needed that laughter!
My ex-husband once forgot to wear pants to work. He worked at a high school doing IT. He realized he was still in his underwear when he arrived. They were those long plaid ones that looked like shorts people wore at the time. So, he just went into work - in his underwear! (This was before I met him.) When we were dating, he one time headed out the door to go to work (different job) and had on: Hat, shirt, underwear, socks, and laptop bag. No pants. That time, I stopped him (and snapped a picture).
I thumbed you back up. Some ppl are thumb down trolls on here.I loled at your story.
Load More Replies... Once, I was studying and decided to make myself a cup of tea. So, put the kettle on the stove and took the whistle out because I didn't like the noise it made. Of course I forgot about it until it was completely burned. My roomates made a lot of fun of me that day.
I forgot I already took the lid off my protein shake and I shook it. Shake everywhere!
