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.

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!
