12/14 Talk about incidents that occurred due to your forgetfulness.

I have a whole list of incidents that stem from my forgetfulness.
* forgetfulness (= absent-mindedness), 건망증
* stem from: ~에서 비롯되다.
ex> Even my family members crack jokes about my forgetfulness.
ex> A whole list of celebrities will attend the party.

The most common type is, of course, misplacing my belongings.
* misplace: 잘못두다, ~을 놓고 잊어버리다.
cf) displace: 밀려나다.
ex> I misplaced my keys somewhere in the house.

I'm rummaging through my things to find my wallet or car keys.
* rummage: 뒤지다, 뒤적이다, search for

I end up turning my house upside down in the process.
* turn something upside down: ~을 뒤집어 놓다.
ex> The incident turned everything upside down.

I've left my cell phone or umbrella behind somewhere so many times.
* leave sth behind: ~을 두고 오다.
ex> Make sure you don't leave anything behind.

The same goes for my glasses when I rest them on my head.
* the same goes for: ~도 마찬가지다.

I wish there was a cure for absent-mindedness!

@ They knocked him around.  그들은 그를 때리고 그랬어.
