I had a stack of vintage comic books my aunt gave me. All collectibles. I left them on the seat where I was sitting on the train. I remembered about them as soon as I left the train and the doors closed. I was so upset.
I forgot to buy milk
The worst thing I ever forgot was to renew my drivers license for 6 months. Lucky enough nothing bad happened. A car rental place caught it for me.
Passports in a hotel… Relized when i was at the airport 1 hour away
I forgot about an interview that I was conducing…oops.
Let’s try “conducting” not “conducing”. See, forgot the “t”!
I have on many occasions forgot my car in a parking lot and walked home.
i forgot where i parked the car and it took me along time walking around the mall to find it
My Wife’s Birthday Still paying for that one won’t do that twice.
my aniversary
left some of my luggage in a hotel while on holiday – thankfully they kept it so we could pick it up on the way back to the airport
Last camping trip we forgot my little daughters favorite blanket she had never slept without. It was tears at bedtime every night.
Our anniversary, I was working graveyards and my darling wife, at midnight, stopped at the guard post, had security call me and then left me a gift at the gate.
I forgot my twin sister’s birthday
I left a house guest behind at a restaurant while they were visiting – neither me or my wife realized the problem until the restaurant called us to come back for our guest.
I forgot to turn over a page on an exam, and realised I had two minutes left to write an essay.
I was sent to Dallas one march to help train a new center and I did not bring a jacket and as Murphy’s Law would have it there was a huge ice storm
MY PURSE IN A CART IN THE MALL PARKING LOT
My laundry in the washer – Yuck!!
I forgot our anniversary(our 25th)!!
The last time I forgot something was a few months ago. Walked out of my house and locked the door behind me. My purse with my keys to the house, car keys, phone, and everything else was in the house. Of course it was a morning that i had an important Appt. I couldnt be late for. Found out how to break into my own house without getting dirty while wearing heels though.
I forgot underwear on a vacation to the beach! I had to wear my swimsuit around for 2 days and I got an awful rash…
forgot to pay my lightbill and did not remember till they cut it off…lol..hectic life here
I forgot a bagel I put in my oven once. I went over to a friend’s house and got a phone call from my neighbor that they could hear my smoke alarm. I rushed home, and it was incredibly smoke filled, but no fire yet, so it all worked out. Pretty scary.
I went paintballing for my friend’s bachelor’s party straight after work in the middle of nowhere..I had prepared clothes and more importantly, some older shoes. I forgot them and had to paintball with what I was wearing. I also did not know that it was an OUTDOOR paintball arena, and it thunderstormed so hard that day none of us could see through our goggles and were just traversing through mud banks and getting hit by random paint!
Needless to say those clothes/shoes were done.
My high school graduation ring, which I had used babysitting savings to buy, when I took it off to wash my hands at a gas station. I talked my car mates into going back but by then it was gone.
My diaper bag when we were going away for the weekend.
I somehow forgot to grab my keys before locking the doors on my car with the motor running…and my 2 year old inside. I had to get the police to open my car.
I left a friend who was already mad at me at a concert. I was walking back when another friend realized they weren’t with us.
Tickets for a concert. Had to go home again to get them.
My cell phone!
The worst thing I’ve ever forgotten was my pants. I was only a kid when this happened. I went outside to play with my friends not realising I was only in my underwear. Luckily I’m in a wheelchair and noone noticed but me HAHA.
I forgot my wifes birthday. Oooooooooops. Was in the dog house for weeks! Won’t do THAT again!
I once forgot to put my little brother in the buggy to go to the park. I got to the park before i realised. Had to run back home to get him!
My keys in my car (while it was running).
my brother’s birthday
I forgot which day my course started back up again, I was two days late.
The last time we moved… I actually FORGOT to take my Hoosier Cabinet. Yeah… I know… sheer stupidity. I cleaned it out… and just… left it.
I can’t replace it, either.

I left my favorite Versaci sunglasses at work and of course I went back in the next day and someone had taken them………….
Forgot my phone in the bathroom at the mall, an honest worker picked it up and returned it to me when I finally realized it was missing ….whew
When I was in university, I forgot to bring my textbook that I required for the final exam. It was in statistics and was open book because we required the formulas in the book to arrive at the correct answer. I lived an hour away and there was no time to go back and get it. I was really starting to panic but the professor was good about it and asked if anyone would be willing to share their’s. There was a nice girl beside me that offered. I knew the info inside and out and clearly she did not. I actually did my best to leave the pages open to the correct formulas to help her know which one she should use but to no avail. It was the sort of information that you either knew or you didn’t. I felt so bad for her because she was so willing to share her book but I couldn’t do anything else to help her. I still to this day have no idea how I could have forgotten it when it was such an important component of the exam…ah well. 😉
I forgot to pick up my son from the babysitter’s house once. I was mortified!
When we went overseas, I forgot to use the travel converter when charging batteries and the charger starter smoking and melted them!
I had dropped my daughter off at a birthday party in a neighborhood I was not familiar with and then it got dark and I lost the address and I drove around quite awhile before I found her.
I forgot I had automatic locks on my vehicle and forgot the keys inside along with my baby!! When I closed the door to walk around to the drivers seat all the locks came down. Thank god my father in law lived only a few blocks away and had a spare set of keys!!!
to milk the cow..poor thing..me bad
I forgot and left my child at school…
I forgot to shave the other half of my face. people looked strange at me 🙁
My laptop bag for work… which of course had my laptop in it…. had to drive back home
I took the family to visit my wife’s family in San Diego. About 120 miles into the drive I realized I forgot my wife in Phoenix. She was mad to say t0 least. It took 6 months for me to be able to not sleep on the couch at night.
