Stuff you forget…all the time.

There's always something you're forgetting. Maybe where you put something, maybe to DO something, be somewhere... but always something. I personally feel like I spend a good 45% of my life looking for my sunglasses. You'd think I'd just always put them in the same spot. Vote for the things you forget the MOST, and add anything that's missing.

What are the things people forget the most? You can find them here, as voted on by hundreds of forgetful people. 

 Listen to Jordan Harbinger give tips on how NOT to forget things on the Ranker Podcast.
