Articles of clothing---chests of drawers are an issue for that, and sometimes closets, so most of my clothes are out on open shelving that I think was designed as bookshelves
Kitchen bowls/pans/etc (though one of the Exception items is a really cool apple corer-peeler-slicer thing that can be in the back of a cabinet for months but I'll never forget it during apple-baking season)
FOOD IN THE FRIDGE is the worst (food in the pantry not much better)
Flavours of liquor, if I don't have them all out in the open on the bar-buffet
Oh hey let me look in the drawers of my desk RIGHT NOW and list semi-useful stuff I forgot was there:
Whiteboard markers
Business envelopes
A backup hard drive
Most of a ream of printer paper
A pair of thin knit gloves that I've used in the past to type when the room was cold but I haven't seen or thought about in years
A small wad of foreign money from two trips ago that actually would have been useful on my last trip abroad
A supply of staples
...that's not an exhaustive list. And it'd be longer, except three of the eight drawers are empty because I try not to keep stuff in drawers, because I'll forget about them.
