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.
