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.
#21 Broke My $1100 Camera After 3 Weeks
Bought myself a nearly mint Sony RX100 M5 for $1100 on March 28th then I brought it with me on a quick road trip on April 18th. I put it inside my small side bag and forgot to zip the bag before getting out of the car. As soon I got up the camera flew out and smacked onto the concrete floor of a parking garage. Got a quote for the repair at over $1100.
Learnt a very expensive lesson to zip up my bag.

#30 I Accidentally Had Dessert Delivered To My Ex-Husband’s House
I forgot to change the address on the app. And although he lives nearby, I can’t contact him to get back the box… because I have a restraining order against him and he’s about to stand trial for domestic violence crimes he committed against me.

Woke up to half cooked creamy garlic chicken parmesan meal prep that sat at room temp for 9 hours. Food poisoning ready to serve! Love him to pieces but definitely the derp moment of the day.
Bowl looks gross because we back to backed barbacoa and chicken.
