My Mom’s Birthday.
Went on vacation with my son and sister to Mystic,Connecticut one summer. We were having a wonderful time and I wanted to capture every moment. I got to the final day of the trip only to find all those memories had to be capture in my mind because there was no film in the camera.
I forgot to bring shoes on vacation. I dont where shoes on long drives so I hoped in the car without them only to realize i didnt pack any either
forgot purse in a store in florida
…the name of the person I was toasting at a wedding.
My address.
i forgot my shoes and my husbands tie on our wedding day. i had to borrow a girls shoes that were 2 sizes too big. i tell my husband it was an peek into his future with me!! i forget everything!! 18 years later he is ok with it!
to back up… just before my drive died 🙁
My Macbook Pro at a King Taco. Luckily the custodian there saved the day 🙂
A bag of dirty clothes after a vacation. The cleaning crew mistook it for trash. Some homeless people were very happy, I hope.
Forgot to pick up my sister from soccer training, she waited for two hours in the rain. Still uses it against me.
I am a mobile x-ray tech. I just finished up a home health and I wheeled my portable out to my vehicle. Set outside of the door and went in to run my films. After running my films I drove off leaving the 20,000 portable on the side of the road. 20 miles later when i get to my next site, I open the van doors and there is no portable in my van. I freak out, speed my way back to the house and it a’int there anymore. Luckily for me, someone put it back in front of the house out of harms way.
One time, I woke up late and was late for school, due to procrastination the night before, and forgot my pants and glasses. IT WAS HORRIFIC.
Plane tickets, had to make one of those turnarounds on the interstate it says for you not to do. Made flight okay, but it was not my finest moment.
Bread in oven 🙁
I forgot a part for my breast pump on our first overnight after our second child was born. We were celebrating our 10th anniversary and I wouldn’t have made it through the weekend without pumping so we had to scramble and find a store that sold pumps! Not as easy as it sounds in the White Mountains!!
I left the oven on for 12+ hours. I wondered why the house smelled like baked goods when I woke up in the morning.
I’d have to say the worst thing I’ve ever forgotten would be my brother in Ohio, on our trip to Kentucky, at 3 AM. He was 16 years old, and all I could think about was him circling around the gas station search for the car, as if we had moved it. Became a great family reunion story!
Left a full cooler behind the pickup and proceeded to back up over the cooler.
Textbooks on the top of my car. I then drove to school and they were never seen again.
Arriving late to work one morning, I left the key in the ignition and the car running until I came out to go to lunch.
My purse at a bookstore, I never saw it again. What a pain!
the worst thing I ever forgot was my phone at a restraunt
my iphone at a restraunt
i went on a 2 week trip and forgot to pack any underwear 🙁
Left my child at the mall but quickly realized it after a couple of minutes.
I went to my first day of college and forgot half my clothes at home.
I forgot that I left the water running in the kitchen sink and left it on for a couple of hours.
my wallet that was full of cash at the phone booth
I left my most favorite and comfortable shoes in a hotel!
I take the train into work. I was rushing one day and got all the way to the train station and realised I had forgotten my purse, meaning no money, no train pass, no phone, etc. Had to drive back home and pick it up. Luckily the train was delayed a few minutes that day and I was able to make it back in time.
keys! all the time!
i forget a lot, so i need to make lists. then i forget the lists.
I forgot sunscreen when I was in Bermuda

My daughter at dance class — oops. I did realize but then I was about 20 mins late!! She wasn’t too happy with me when I got there!
I forget my house keys all the time
My little brother. Literally. When I was about 15 I was in charge of watching my younger siblings while my mom was grocery shopping. My little brother would have been about 5 at that time and very prone to wandering off. Which he did in the middle of a shopping mall. I had to search the mall with my little sister trying to track him down when I had become distracted by something shiny and pretty. When we found him he was in the WalMart wearing sunglasses with the tags on them looking quite chill and wondered what the big fuss was all about. Learned a big lesson there!
Forgot to set the alarm before an overseas trip and missed my flight by 3 hours
My dad’s name. I blanked!
