14 Mishaps That Have Become Family Jokes

Our brain likes to play jokes on us. One of our favorite ones is to forget something important — that’s when we might turn on a stove and leave, or when we leave our glasses in the wrong place, or even when we put our phone on the roof of our car and drive off.

We at Bright Side have faced the mishaps of our memory many times and we know well what the characters of our article have been through. The main thing in these situations is to not feel down and embrace life with a sense of humor.

“My brother bought his first house yesterday. He drove his car inside the garage, shut the door, and forgot that the keypad hadn’t been programmed yet.”

“I’ve been looking for my glasses for 3 days.”

“Forgot the wedding rings at my aunt’s wedding, used the next best thing.”

“My wife sent me the most solemn picture to let me know I forgot one of my AirPods at home.”
