I wasn't paying attention and pushed the wrong button, you could check the recycle bin?

You didn't remind me to set my alarm, now I'm late for a job interview.

Oh, didn't I tell you? They called to reschedule the interview for tomorrow because their electricity went out.

You forgot to buy canned pumpkin and now I can't try the new pumpkin cake recipe I found.

I live in the UK and we don't have canned pumpkin over here. :D (Or any other sort, usually, apart from butternut, strangely enough... the Brits just don't do pumpkin, for some reason.)

You left the hot tap running and now we're out of hot water.

Isn't that the only way to get cold water?

You left the dirty dishes on the table, so the dog knocked them all over the floor and now they're broken!

Don't worry, that was the old set that you planned to get rid of. The new dish set you ordered is in that box on the counter.

You forgot to check the front door for packages, and now my new full-color set of the Chronicles of Narnia that I ordered from overseas is soggy from the rain we had over the weekend.

I didn't know you were expecting that package to arrive in the middle of a long overdue thunderstorm, that finally drenched the district after seven years' drought. :D

You didn't vacuum the floor, though you cleaned up after that mirror you broke, & now I've got a glass sliver in my foot.

The vacuum broke and I thought I cleaned up all the mirror glass.

You forgot to put the dog treats away now hes gone and eaten them all.

I thought you were going to put them away since the dog belongs to you. :p Don't worry there's an extra box stashed in the closet. ;)

You ran over a nail and now the car has a flat tire.

I thought I was driving over a blade of grass!

You forgot to buy milk and now we have to drink our tea and coffee black!

I always drink my tea black and simply forgot about everyone else. :D

You left the windows open during a thunderstorm and the rain got in and now the carpet is ruined.

That lousy few drops of water which got in through the window can't have done much harm to the carpet which needs a good steam cleaning anyway.

You forgot to water the plants before 10 AM or after 4.00 PM & now they are dying.

I had a meeting around 9 AM or I would have and at 3:30 PM I had soccer practice; dont worry I will buy more plants.

You forgot my surfboard at home, there was a competition at the beach.

Didn't you know that there was a news broadcast saying that beach would be closed due to a school of sharks monopolising the area? :D

You didn't tell me when the latest level water restrictions would be applied, so now I am getting a fine for using too much water.

I've been living in England so long that I forgot what water restrictions are. :p

You mislaid the remote control and now I have to physically get up and walk over to the TV to change the channel (you know, like we all had to do in the old days...).

Oh the horror! But it wasn't me, it was Dear Old Dad you need to ask, because he thinks the remote control is a natural extension of himself, so he can watch whatever he likes, when he likes & now he likely doesn't know where he put it. :D

It isn't only the TV remote control which you didn't find, it is also the remote controls for the air conditioning, & tomorrow we are to have a heatwave of 39 degrees Celsius so we will be boiling. :)
