Getting rid of /dev and mount entry after unplugging mounted USB memory stick

Hi list, Every now and then I forget to unmount my USB memory stick. This becomes a problem because every time I do it, I am left with a bogus mount and device entry. umount -f makes the whole machine reboot instantly. From the googling that I have done, I have concluded that this is normal.
