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.
#41 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 did what I could and honked when I rolled in and she rolled out, she did exit the vehicle and take the fuel cap off of the fuel door and close everything back up but I watched with fear as the water jets repeatedly passed.

#48 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.

#49 I Swear It Had A Pull Tab This Morning
Normally, I pack my lunch the night before but forgot, so I grabbed a can of soup this morning. Turns out I took the wrong can, and it didn't have a pull tab. This is why I can't pack a lunch before leaving for work.

#56 I Met Ariana Grande At Disneyland In 2018. Got A Picture, But Forgot To Turn The Flash On. This Is The Pic Already Brightened
She was pulled away by her bodyguards before I could take another. She was kind though and chose to come over to our little group, no one rushed at her or anything (just for clarification). This was right after her and Pete Davidson got engaged. So he was there, and Frankie Grande was there which was cool

#60 Made My Strawberry PB Smoothie But In Two Different Cups
I got a large strawberry banana PB smoothie but they made the first one in a small cup with just the PB part. I asked them ab the size and she said she forgot the strawberries and was wondering why it turned into a small. She remade the large with just the strawberry part. It feels like a deconstructed smoothie and I look so big backed in class rn drinking two separate smoothies.
