Everyday seems the same. You wake up, take a shower (or bath), eat a
quick breakfast, maybe pick up some coffee or tea and you are on your
way to work/school. But everyday is not the same, every day people seem
to forget to do something that they do almost daily or weekly. That is
what this list is about
Clothing Stickers
Thing We Forget: Taking the size sticker off of your new clothes.
You buy your new pair of jeans, they make your butt look good and
they are reasonable priced (haha). You take them home, take off all of
the tags, and proudly wear them. Then your friend says “Hey what is
that on your pants?” and it’s the size sticker. Whether it says “34-30
mens” or “size 4 ladies” it was sticking to the side of your jeans for
hours. You get new pants and clothes all the time yet still people
always somehow forget to take off that little sticker.
Feeding the Fish
Thing We Forget: Feeding the Fish.
Anyone who has ever had any fish know they are very easy to take
care of. You buy them, plop them in a few gallons of water, put rocks
in the bottom and some scenery if you wish and clean it every once in a
while. They are pure entertainment for people that just want to sit
down and look at them, however there always seems to be one thing
people forget. Upon leaving their house for work or school they forget
to feed the fish. This is not the end of the world for they won’t die
after a day of not being fed but not feeding them for a while and you
got some bottoms-up fish on your hands, so remember to feed them
tomorrow?
Flushing
Thing We Forget: Flushing the toilet.
Ever use a friend’s restroom and see that the water is still yellow?
I’m sure it has happened more than once, and usually it is not due to
someone being rude or gross, they usually just forget. They get a phone
call and quickly finish their deed then run to get it perhaps. For
whatever reason toilets don’t always get flushed and when you realize
it you feel like an idiot, better luck next time.
Mail
Thing We Forget: Shipping out letters/packages.
Your mother’s birthday is right around the corner, you buy her a
pretty necklace and a card that says how wonderful of a mother she is.
You wrap them up and put them in a box to be shipped and it sits in the
back of your car for weeks. Happy Belated Birthday Mom! This also works
for shipping out your taxes or sending a get well soon card. I know on
more than one occasion that I have had a package I need to send sits in
the back seat of my car for a long period of time, whoops.
Medicine
Thing We Forget: Taking your medicine.
Millions of women across the world are on birth control, a medicine
that you must take every day or you could have an oops baby on your
hands. Everyday thousands (perhaps millions, who knows?) forget to take
it. Some people have to take cancer medication, or pain medication
daily and they too every once in a while for some unknown reason
forget. When you figure out you’ve forgotten it, you promptly take it
most of the time, but still, every morning millions of people wake up
and go to work and their medicine is still sitting untouched.
Recipe Items
Thing We Forget: An item for a recipe you plan on making.
Okay, this calls for 2 eggs, some flour, and milk – but you forgot
to pick up the milk, well there goes that idea. Millions of items
everyday go un-bought by people who need them. You forget the milk, or
the butter, or the cheese. You write a list down (or you get a call on
your cell telling you to pick up something) and it just slips your mind
when you get there or you just plain forget to write it down. There are
two solutions, either don’t make it, or make a quick stop at the local
market and pick it up. What a waste of expensive gas.
Appliances
Thing We Forget: Turning off/unplugging appliances.
Ever leave the house only to come back and realize the stove is
still on, or your curling iron is still plugged in? Yeah, me too. You
feel stupid for a few minutes and then it passes only to come back
again when you leave your TV on all night. Not only does this run up
your electric bill but it also can be dangerous depending on what it
was that you left on.
Trash
Thing We Forget: Take out the trash.
It’s Tuesday and it is trash day! Now it is Wednesday and you have a
full can of garbage that you forgot to take out the night before. Now
you have to smell old milk, cheese, and meat for the next 6 or 7 days –
yuck! Every week all you have to do is walk your garbage out to the
curb or throw it in the dumpster out back but you forget at least once
every few weeks or months.
Thing We Forget: Keys/phone/purse/wallet.
You probably forget one of these items weekly, whether you forgot
where you put it last and lost it, or you just forgot to bring it with
you. You go to the store and forget your credit card at home, you go to
unlock your car and left your keys inside – it’s part of life losing
these items it seems. It is joked about constantly with people
forgetting where you put your darn keys only to find them wedged in
couch cushions or just sitting right in front of you on the table. It
happens to everyone weekly for whatever reason. At least you can call
you cellphone – unless it is on silent (crap!).
