Others shared similar experiences of accidentally leaving family members behind at petrol stations and R&R stops during long journeys.
User @citamku said: "Once, we accidentally left him at a petrol station, we didn't notice he was gone and after driving for a moment, we realised he was not with us. However, he rode someone else's vehicle when we returned to get him. Until now, he always brings it up to the family."
Another user @amymahmud_11 shared her experience: "My mother used a wheelchair. We stopped at the rest area to eat. After parking, I took down the wheelchair, and my mother sat down. I closed the car's hood and walked away, leaving my mother by the side of the car. It was only after driving for a while that I remembered my mother. My husband thought I had already pushed my mother."
