According to a new study, commissioned by 3M for the Post-it Brand, found people forget as many as 1,460 things each year, including leaving for work without a phone, keys or wallet, or forgetting what you went into a room for.
Important messages, meetings and emails also topped the list.
When it comes to the sexes, women show the most frustration when they lose or forget something, however, men are twice as likely to forget their partner's birthday or an anniversary.
Elsewhere, more than half of women in relationships said their partner has forgotten something they were counting on them to remember – despite numerous attempts to remind them.
Women are not exempt though, and were found to be more likely to lie if they've forgotten something big and think they could get into trouble for it. One in four women admitted to doing this.
Men are also slacker when it comes to passing on important messages, and perhaps this explains why women were twice as likely to be the one in the relationship with the better memory. It's therefore not surprising that 54% of men in relationships rely on their partner to remember certain things so they don't have to, while a quarter of women said they can never rely on their partner to do something if it's important.
When it comes to forgetting things, an embarrassed one in five dads admitted they had forgotten to pick up the kids from school, while one in 20 admitted they had forgotten to attend a funeral.
A spokesman for the Post-it Brand from 3M, said: ''Our days are so jam packed full of tasks whether at work or at home, it's no surprise people find it hard to keep track of everything.
''With much longer working hours, financial concerns and just busier lifestyles, even those with the best memory can stumble when it comes to remembering even the most simple of things during a hectic day.''
The top ten things people forget are:
1. Forget what you went into a room for
2. Misplacing keys
3. Forgetting things on your grocery shop
4. People's names when you're introducing them
5. Where you put your pen
6. Taking meat out to defrost
7. Forgetting to respond to an email
8. Forgetting to post something
9. Forgetting what you're searching for online or on the computer
10. Forgetting where the car was parked
